It's worth noting that crypto lobbying groups also spent a lot to support Democrats too.[0] As usual this heavily leans towards one party and the situation would be 'less bad' with the other party but as usual the problem is

I keep meaning to do a project where I try and categorise this rightward drift over time. I've only been here for about 8 years on my main account but increasingly it feels comments here reflect the ideological schism in reality reflec

It's interesting because I'm very ideological about politics in the UK. I have a burning hatred for the party that just left power after 14 years to the point that would make most zealots look positively tame. However I will conce

You're correct that uninhabitable was my exaggeration and the OP's reasonable point was that some parts of the US would see less impressive outcomes. But from a brief Google California isn't even in the 10 most southerly stat

I'm originally from the UK so I know cloudy. Not sure if we're better or worse than Michigan but the weather is one of the main reasons I left. For sure solar isn't as effective in the UK but we're lucky to have shallow

That's fair and it was less a dig at the specific comment than the overall trend of American fatalism that can be summed up as "a new thing can't possibly work because we live in a weather torment nexus". While the point

A funny thing that I notice on this site, as a foreign, is apparently everywhere in the US that isn't the place in whichever article is under discussion has weather such as to be effectively uninhabitable. I realise there is extreme we

Ultimately you end up in an abstract or values based discussion either way though. Your question, is the world better off, is impossible to answer in a manner that isn't based in conjecture I feel. Would people not feel the urge to cre

I had prefixed that with "in my view" but in a purely literal sense you're right. Code and knowledge are inanimate objects, they don't 'want' anything. The statement is influenced by my belief, it is merely a c

But this doesn't really contradict the idea, in my view. Our existing property framework is built around physical goods that experience scarcity. The cost of code duplication is zero and it is (barring catastrophe) indestructible. Toda

I think people who prefer GPL and I hope for the same outcomes but we have a different (irreconcilable?) philosophical approach to getting there. In my view code (and all knowledge) wants to be free and a commons of knowledge enriches the w

The use of AI for this seems somewhat overkill, one could just use a language and environment that is aware of whether `logger` or `logging` is available, and what variables are in scope. We have tools that allow us to treat programming as

There's nuance to these numbers since interception will be an artifact of where people are looking but 95% of intercepted fentanyl was from US citizens crossing the border.[0] Funnily enough the Republicans seemed content to sit on the

One wonders to what extent the management of these companies having a background in actual engineering, as opposed to financial engineering, gives them an edge over US companies: - DJI: MPhil in Electronic and Computer Engineering - BYD: Ch

I think there is absolutely a moral issue with these drugs but it's not the usual "personal responsibility" nonsense. The problem is it makes it far less likely we'll address our poisonous food system. The US subsidises

Wait 5 years. After 5 years of the hype cycle the rough edges are sanded off, or the concept has ceased to be relevant. You could have built most (web) things in the past 20 years with Java and a SQL database. It's worth keeping an ope

I think -- on the basis of this same argument playing out for years at this point -- it's because the 2 views are talking past each other. Sure, in office works better for some people and remote makes them miserable. They're real

Yes! This is the root of the confusion. Certain dual button flushes have the small button to combine with the larger one to make the complete flush but on others the small button does the small flush. At what point does the small button cro

I don't understand the view that MIT and Apache 2.0 make it possible for corporations to somehow destroy or enclose the commons. Code is code. It can't be destroyed, its cost of duplication is effectively zero. If I take some open

C#/.NET in my opinion. Extremely extensive and high quality standard library and it keeps getting faster every release. Though it's kind of a difficult question to answer, what do you need the standard library to actually do?

I played around with consuming a few different OIDC providers as close to the raw APIs as possible (not component libraries or client SDKs) just to try and understand the flow. Each provider implemented the spec subtly differently and cause
