> which of the two validation is supposed to refer to
In this context, it's the former. If I say, "It's dumb that you feel that way but here's you're stupid gloves," to a toddler, I solved their problem but I also likely made them feel like their problem is somehow not a "valid" one. Especially when this happens repeatedly to children is when they grow up with particularly anti-social behaviors, for fear of others abusing them similarly.
Small World! I have a copy of her book Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking from 1982, bought when I was a broke student. I had already planned earlier today to use one of its recipes for dinner tonight: Brown Nut Rissoles. !!!!
It's been a great source of inspiration and I know a few of the recipes essentially by heart. My main comment now is that the ingredients lists reflect the range of veg and herbs that you typically could find in a 1982 UK shop, and I often substitute more exotic ingredients that weren't readily available then.
As others have said elsewhere here, after many years you typically don't need to slavishly follow the steps in a recipe (except perhaps for baking where precise ratios of ingredients can be important). For some cooks (notably Delia Smith) I've simplified their recipes over the years to reduce the number of discrete steps, utensils and cooking time involved. The results might not look as camera-ready perfect as the pic in the books, but the taste can be indistinguishable, especially when throwing something together quickly for a weekday evening meal.
This is exactly what we do too. I even have a hobby of collapsing Julia Child (and now David Chang) recipes into something... manageable in say 2 hrs? I did the David Chang wings and yeah the Super Bowl party was destroyed by them (omfg never had wings like this) but good lawd they took a lot of effort, spread over multiple days.
I invested in a Chargemap pass for my trip to France this summer. One card which works in nearly every French charger. Plug in, tap the card and it starts charging. Tap the card again to stop. That's it. Cost 20 euros for the card, and I think the rates are a little more than the native apps. But not enough to bother me. Highly recommended. You still have to deal with idle charges though.
There's some irony in that Immutables and Autovalue are often named as alternatives for people that dislike Lombok's implementation but do like (some of) Lombok's features.
No other comes to mind. Most other libraries are proper annotation processors, meaning they abide by the rules and are only additive, generating new classes. One such would be mapstruct which is pretty frequently used.
Many of these places weren't homes. The vast majority of prehistoric people did not live in caves. And many places with art are nearly inaccessible, and completely dark.
Even if most didn't live in caves, if enough of them spent enough time there they would surely end up painting something. And caves are good places for paintings to survive.
I'm not even sure one could separate religious and non-religious purposes. I think there was much less of a distinction. Even in ancient Rome, the gods were involved in many everyday activities, it would surely have been even more so in the Stone Age
Many caves with art in are extremely inaccessible. You need to explain why someone would risk their life and crawl through tiny openings in the pitch black to reach a specific location in order to make their art.
I can not believe that educated people think you can explore and explain human culture without considering "spiritual" stuff.
Assume that prehistoric people drew pictures all over the place, which, given the inclinations of modern humans seems to be true. Then assume that every easily accessible place is likely to have its art erased over overwritten by later humans. Also a reasonable assumption.
What's left? The only ancient cave art we find is the stuff that's highly inaccessible.
In other words, the cave art we see today doesn't reflect the behavior of the original artists as much as it reflects the behavior of later humans that would intercede.
Caves evolve, perhaps there was a landslide that covered old entrance, and that is the only reason why paintings survived. I do not believe paintings would survive in open easily accessible cave. Just the urine from bats...
As for spirituality, people 30k years ago very quite sophisticated. They had paintings, music, maps, religion, porn... But entire population of Europe was like 100k people. And there was no need to crawl into one way death trap, when they had 1000km^2 to explore!
If you’re living in a cave entrance a lifetime of exploration is very different than what we think of as spelunking. Add generations of kids to the mix and little is going to remain unknown and unexplored.
No need for spiritual explanations for something that mundane.
Now must be a good time to do the Bernina Express. A lot of snow in the mountains and spring-time in the South. You basically get two seasons for the price of one.
