A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal, especially if the item is not consumed in the process. Tool use by humans dates back millions of years, and other animals are also known to employ simple tools.
Tools that are used in particular fields or activities may have different designations such as "instrument", "utensil", "implement", "machine", "device," or "apparatus". The set of tools needed to achieve a goal is "equipment". The knowledge of constructing, obtaining and using tools is technology.
Anthropologists believe that the use of tools was an important step in the evolution of mankind. Because tools are used extensively by both humans and wild chimpanzees, it is widely assumed that the first routine use of tools took place prior to the divergence between the two species. These early tools, however, were likely made of perishable materials such as sticks, or consisted of unmodified stones that cannot be distinguished from other stones as tools.
Stone artifacts only date back to about 2.5 million years ago. However, a 2010 study suggests the hominin species Australopithecus afarensis ate meat by carving animal carcasses with stone implements. This finding pushes back the earliest known use of stone tools among hominins to about 3.4 million years ago.
A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications. The term usually refers to relatively simple programs, that can be combined together to accomplish a task, much as one might use multiple hand tools to fix a physical object. The ability to use a variety of tools productively is one hallmark of a skilled software engineer.
The most basic tools are a source code editor and a compiler or interpreter, which are used ubiquitously and continuously. Other tools are used more or less depending on the language, development methodology, and individual engineer, and are often used for a discrete task, like a debugger or profiler. Tools may be discrete programs, executed separately – often from the command line – or may be parts of a single large program, called an integrated development environment (IDE). In many cases, particularly for simpler use, simple ad hoc techniques are used instead of a tool, such as print debugging instead of using a debugger, manual timing (of overall program or section of code) instead of a profiler, or tracking bugs in a text file or spreadsheet instead of a bug tracking system.

Martin Heidegger, the 20th-century German philosopher, produced a large body of work that intended a profound change of direction for philosophy. Such was the depth of change that he found it necessary to introduce a large number of neologisms, often connected to idiomatic words and phrases in the German language.
Two of his most basic neologisms, present-at-hand and ready-to-hand, are used to describe various attitudes toward things in the world. For Heidegger, such "attitudes" are prior to, i.e. more basic than, the various sciences of the individual items in the world. Science itself is an attitude, one that attempts a kind of neutral investigation. Other related terms are also explained below.
Heidegger's overall analysis is quite involved, taking in a lot of the history of philosophy. See Being and Time for a description of his overall project, and to give some context to these technical terms.
Heidegger's idea of aletheia, or disclosure (Erschlossenheit), was an attempt to make sense of how things in the world appear to human beings as part of an opening in intelligibility, as "unclosedness" or "unconcealedness". (This is Heidegger's usual reading of aletheia as Unverborgenheit, "unconcealment.") It is closely related to the notion of world disclosure, the way in which things get their sense as part of a holistically structured, pre-interpreted background of meaning. Initially, Heidegger wanted aletheia to stand for a re-interpreted definition of truth. However, he later corrected the association of aletheia with truth (see main article on aletheia for more information).
[ DUNDEE ]
In parti, 3 cuori, 6 mani, 6 occhi, 6 gambe, 3 matti,
Compatti esaltati sui banchi scriviamo parole che vanno distanti,
Emani calore le mani più in aria se vieni a sto party Dundee,
Io scrivo parole ho la mano sul cuore ci metto passione, Pasqui,
Io scrivo parole ho la mano sul cuore ci metto passione, Marco,
Assembla campioni, mischia con cura, senti sti suoni in cambio,
Tira su le mani in alto se siamo sul palco,
Son metriche lettere elettriche le dedico a chi sta al mio fianco,
10 sulle tue mani gli altri sono solo squali,
letali animali spietati che come pugnali ti fanno del male, e poi,
scende il morale, ciò che puoi fare, scegliere e spingere, liriche,
sopra dei ritmi, che trovano limiti, solo se non ci vuoi provare,
qui, qui cosa trovi, sai cosa trovi, sono vagoni, di rime a colori,
foto ricordo di giorni vissute col cuore e passione di fuori,
6 mani, 6 braccia, 6 gambe, 3 teste, si muovono su questi suoni,
la musica carica l’anima, ora basta che ti muovi.
[ CHORUS ]
Ritmo, musica, voci, campioni, parole suoni sogni sono solo illusioni,
Marco, Pasqui, Dundee, 3 nomi, l’hip hop come veicolo per 1000 direzioni,
Ritmo, musica, voci, campioni, parole suoni sogni sono solo illusioni,
Marco, Pasqui, Dundee, 3 nomi, l’hip hop come veicolo per 1000 direzioni,
[ PASQUI ]
Lugano ci siamo la mano sul petto lo sguardo più forte deciso,
C’è Pasqui sul micro con dundee più Marco gl’infami non c’hanno diviso,
T’invito all’ascolto di un suono profondo leggero sincero e pulito,
Ti leggo il racconto di un mondo malato un sistema piegato impazzito,
Noi restiamo fuori da politica e partito,
Perchè tanto chi ci ascolta non è un povero fallito,
Chi ha preso la mira respira, non mi ha mai colpito,
Chi vuole azzittirmi continua, ma non c’è mai riuscino,
Il mio nome lo spingo convinto e difendo ciò per cui ho lottato,
Qui chi mi disperzza il culo me lo ha già leccato,
Pasqui domani ti chiamo, per un tot non ci sentiamo,
Riguardo rapporti già morti, giuro in fondo ci speravo,
Chiedimi perchè perchè di loro non mi fido,
Io sfido un amico che stimo, se dice che lo invidio,
Ad occhi chiusi affronto un mondo cinico e spietato,
