Let me help you out by rewriting the sentence you were responding to: Ignorance of irreversible consequences of messing with the composition of the atmosphere is sufficient reason to avoid doing so, no?

That's where this magical thing of imagination comes in and takes over. Dwarf Fortress is the gaps in the world that it presents.

I see. I think it's important to make websites work well for as many clients as possible, including lynx. Ideally, JavaScript should only be used for enhancement of necessary interactivity. But when a choice is made in favor of some te

I was not very careful in phrasing my previous comment. I was thinking of a situation where a Google employee puts links in the actual copy of an article not primarily about search engines. I find it more permissible in the case of WolframA

A large part of this person's reviews are complaints about the amount of keys. I found the other information in these reviews more enlightening, because personally I don't want more keys. I like the HappyHacking keyboard. Nice siz

"That aspect, that it was at one time, or still is, gender-specific, is what makes it inappropriate to call a person who doesn't identify with that gender." Why do you think you can dictate what _is_ inappropriate for the res

I have wanted to read up on ZeroMQ. This time I will. It is meaningless in the face of his situation, but I feel like this is how I, as a programmer, can "talk" to him, honor him. I'm not trying to be sentimental but it feels

There are a bunch of bugs immediately apparent. Try typing while making a selection with mouse. Is that expected behaviour? nah.

Besides the ones you mentioned, are there other such topics that tend to be taboo? I would like to keep an eye out, just for curiosity's sake. I don't know if high intelligence within a group bodes well for freedom of ideas. Intel

Some moments are art. The silence, the randomness, and the lack of purpose.

What's deep about this is how deep it is in uncanny valley. The stuff you're doing is super interesting though, don't take it too harshly.
