This is a direct quote from the blog: "The main upside to all this for me anyway is middle aged to old men like me have giant cocks compared to 20-somethings because we weren’t exposed to this shit in the womb. Of course most of the 20

If Brave and Firefox are in the same league as Chrome for you your sleaze alarm is a very very bad guide to the modern world and seriously needs upgrading.

You are right, Texas is not a good example here. I will give you another one instead: September 18, 2006 light from a massive supernova reached earth. The star exploded in galaxy NGC 1260 238,000,000 light years away. This was the most ener

You are imposing arbitrary and extreme standards for the usage of the term fact. These standards neither reflect real world usage, nor do they reflect any sensible first principle definition. You also consistently conflate trust and faith.

Anecdote. Fear mongering. Misleading statistic. Misleading/demonstrably wrong information presented with an air of "obviously". Conspiracy... What is eroding trust in vaccines are narratives like this. You pretend like every

There is so much wishful thinking around this... "me and five other people want to pay, if you just cater to my specific tastes, than the me and these 5 people will happily bankroll your massive engineering effort!" Maybe people w

A browser is expensive. Currently Firefox is funded (though not controlled) by Google's Ad business. I am all for them reducing their reliance on Google's Ad business. In this sense this is a step _towards_ what you want. I reall

Agreed. I am completely fine with them trying to run their own ads. It's much better than indirectly funding them through Googles Ads. But just be upfront about what you're doing. This extends to the splash screen as well. No &quo

How would that work? If both the maternal drug use and the ADHD outcome are the result of a third familial confounding variable, then it's reasonable to expect that this third variable also leads to paternal drug use. This would be cor

In Julia you have positional and keyword arguments, separated by a semicolon. function f(; a, b) a+b end Default values are optional. This can only be called with named arguments like f(; a=5, b=7). Unfortunately the separation

The thing is, for people for whom going through the one paragraph of reasoning the parties actually give is too much, what better alternative is there? Given the alternatives: Vote by personality vs vote by Wahl-o-mat score, I would 100% of

No it's not better than what is going on in academia. It's like the extreme version of all the problems of academia rolled into one: Hyperbolic storytelling, massive vague claims, not citing anyone but yourself, and nothing backed

There is no science and no scientific progress in Stephen Wolframs work.

So this last paragraph to me encapsulates the base fallacy that permeates our society when it comes to analyzing the economy. You exactly assume that there are fixed desires and needs and that this is merely "directed" or shifted

I don't understand why you think it implies trade shouldn't have happened. Do you assume that humans in the past were incapable of creating desires? Either way, I more precisely should have said "fixed pre-existing thing&quot

Isn't this obvious? I mean if you need that kind of control of the screen then you shouldn't be working inside a WM by definition, and the Toolkits are built for building interfaces in the context of WMs. Right? I definitely don&#

Have you never done anything for anyone without being paid for it? I believe the fundamental model of having money and passing it around, and thereby acknowledging that we do things for each other is absolutely fantastic. But the secondary

The universe is finite, it's very big but finite. All growth eventually hits limits. Exponential growth hits the limits in logarithmic time. The question is just whether this brings the time scale to time scales that humans can and sho

Fundamentally exponential growth is not sustainable in the long run. But more importantly I see some reasonable degrowth arguments as advocating an end to consumerism. To no longer measure the wealth of a country by the extend of it's

Everything is perfectly logical after you get used to it enough. And no, my post did not say that you will understand the details of every command in the list from just looking at the list. It only said that the list demonstrates that a muc

Did you actually look at the page the list is from? THis isn't some sketch, it's a fully implemented way of working with git repos that supports everything you ask for. Committing just specific files is done in gitless via g

gitless has the --partial flag that allows you to commit parts of files interactively. And your workflow of gradually building up an index of (parts of) files can be achieved by partial/amendable commits. You simply iteratively/in

Interesting. I haven't met many who have. Your two usecases basically never arose for me. If I switch back to a branch and there's random stuff there, then I can just revert easily. So it's an extra operation at a different t

But it's not a limited amount of concepts. One sphere in a vacuum is easy, three spheres is hard. Git has half a dozen subtle interacting data structures. But because people have built up a lot of experience working with them (and don&

by Certhas 5y ago
I think it's the other way around. The fact that git does not provide a clean analogous way to intuitively interact with it just demonstrates that the git interface is horribly broken. This is not essential complexity, it's just b
