It also takes the same approach as the posted article: reimplementing basic standard library functions. It's really enlightening.

I used a book "Remembering the Kanji" by James Heisig, which employs a special mnemonic technique, to learn to write 2000 Japanese kanji in three months, which was a leisurely pace (twenty-something a day). Many people did the same in a much shorter time, like 100 a day. It works beautifully. If you have problems learning those words, you are most probably either using the wrong technique, or using it incorrectly.

Jason, I found a little bio of you that said, "Jason Fried is the fastest white man you'll ever meet. He has curly hair and a sunny disposition. He loves to travel, play hoops, and watch sunsets from his roof deck. He wishes he could break dance." Is that all true?
JF: That was an old bio that someone wrote for me. I guess it's probably all true, except for the break dancing part. I really don't have any desire to do that.

No, scientists are coming from the opposite direction. Observing things, then draw conclusions and connect the dots. Pseudosciences, like homeopathy are backwards. They pull "universal truths" out of thin air, like "Law of similars", and after that they don't mind even if experiments and reality doesn't support these theories.

It was not my intention to defend China. But what's with the other 90% of debris? 40% USA, 40% Russia, 10% other is not far from the truth, I guess.

Still, you are unfairly singling out China. From the article you linked:
"It was the first known successful satellite intercept test since 1985, when the United States conducted a similar anti-satellite missile test"
"In February 2008 the US launched its own strike to destroy a malfunctioning US satellite, which demonstrated to the world that it also had the capability to strike in space"
