this is in contrast to english, where have explictly means own. the closest match for jo would be hold, and it has that use in the context of a container. if you think of yourself as a container, you can make that distinction in english, with some mental overhead.

however, toki pona's jo expresses this distinction in an elegant way!

this is really interesting, as the two are synonymous in english. i have a cat implies you own said cat! things you have arent neccessarily your property in toki pona

toki pona makes a distinction between owning(lawa as verb) and having (jo)

i think alternative methods of programming should be sought after. not just different paradigms(those are fun too!) but rather rethinking the way things work entirely. stuff like sourceless programming(OK), textless source(LISP, Smalltalk, Aha), compact source(APL, K), etc.

If you get all the fat out an internet smart appliance is about the same cost as the dumb appliance with the more limited embedded computer in it. The first stage will be TVs and microwaves that are on the internet. Perhaps we will have light bulbs and light switches there eventually.

Funny how accurate this prediction was!
