That's pretty literally the framework of science .

I mean that's not really the point. The thing is that if a journalist writes an article about inflation they might ask me if inflation is affecting me but of course the majority of the article will be from "experts" because

I unload trucks and stock shelves at Target. You think my viewpoint about inflation is gonna get published in a way that anyone sees?

It's mostly a jargon thing to distinguish that they're using an academic term of art rather than just colloquial lay term.

Firefox's quickfind behavior is a solid 25-30% of why I never switched to chrome.

Firefox. it used to actually default to quick searching anything you typed (with / quick searching only links) but now you have to fiddle with an option for that. ETA: in the spirit of the thread: I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico, U

"let god sort em out" is just eugenics.

by Avshalom 5y ago
Whether this article means to it makes the case for requiring vaccination instead, which, yeah we should do that.

My elevator pitch for Prolog is this: It's a constraint solving language, linear problem solving language, a database query language, a parsing language, and an expert systems language. All unified (sorry that's a pun) transparent

Side note: Lays are actually a vendored product at Target. I don't know about Kroger.

RFID tags are very tiny, at Target we got them in stuff like the tags on dish towels. Not the paper tag held on by a plastic string but like the wash/materials tags.

One of the great talking points of capitalism is that competition breeds efficiency, so no: the complete decoupling of production from demand is at least A weird part.

Anarcho-capitalism as a phrase was basically Rothbard trolling. What ever merits it may have, it shouldn't be lumped in with the rest of anarchist philosophy. (also to be clear I think ancap has approximately zero merit)

Well if nothing has any arguments then yeah, it's basically the second version. but if you had arguments you end up with things like %foo(+A,-B) foo(A,42) :- A < 10. foo(A,24) :- A >= 10. foo(_,100). which

Opposing jails in general is in fact a part of the debate over whether certain punishments match the crimes. It's not even a particularly extreme part/position in that debate.

I think you misinterpreted that. Prolog does has an if operator -> as in ( P -> If ; Else ) yes, but oldsecondhand said :- "predicateA is true" if "clauseB is true" and "clauseC is true". or in prol

If the constant scams in cryptocurrency space show anything it's that they trust each other way too much. "Trust less" is a sort of aesthetic pose more than anything

Even then, the box: "an ASIC implementation of a newly discovered crypto attack" complete with a massive white board full of linear algebra is about as good a muggufin as you can ask for in any computer adjacent movie.

"unsigned" doesn't express intent. It expresses implementation, maybe it expresses assumption. Ada's "Positive" or "Natural" or subtype X is Integer range Y..Z; expresses intent (well expresses

You say that but the 28 foot context menu with every possible action from every application in Windows' File Explorer (and in file selection dialogs) is the thing I miss in Linux.
