In case you are other readers are interested, what you describe is an old philosophical debate spanning mostly morals but as you point out, also the pursuit of happiness and other areas. It is the opposition between consequentialism (=what

I think it is this very post that made me realize how sharp but also how double-edged of a blade mmap was.

I recently realized that mmap was how good editors are able to open huge files without stalling like bad editors do. There are use cases for it but yes, you need to know what you are doing.

Maybe that's because of the different kind of work I do with but I have wrestled, frustrated at some bugs hard to spot with gdb, but I never felt retrained by pudb despite it being, I guess, more limited. All the bugs I had in python w

That's how it worked for me (privacy advocacy protests in France). But now that I think about it, it makes sense that big protests are actually more of a recruiting tool for already established organization than a way to know each othe

I used to diss protests that accomplish nothing but then I realized what their real use was: to connect people into doing actual stuff. To open a place for discussion on a specific issue, sometimes in the media, but at least in the street,

I'd say it is an unnecessary position to take but would not call it especially partisan. There is no symmetry in the amount of election meddling that has been done by both parties. Saying the GOP may be a party interested in election m

I think many countries assessed that they were capable of it, but many would think this was a casus belli. Had Clinton been elected instead, she probably would have sought additional sanctions and a firmer stance against Russia because of t

Thing is, it took me a long time to accept that people not caring was ok. Now I realize that my dad is frustrated I never learned something as simple as changing the oil on my car. My mom does not understand how I can't name more than

Why do you think an open source CPU design can't be manufactured by a fab? There are economics of scale at play but the entry level keep going down while the market for open source grows. I don't expect open-source ASIC to suddenl

None of this comes to validate the opinion that "USA unilaterally committed itself to ending the entire planet if they didn't get what they wanted." and that "The USSR were the adults in that conflict". The first l

If you have credible source to this version of the Cuban missiles crisis, I'd be interested to hear about that. I have seen insanity on both sides but from reading both US and USSR propaganda, the latter was even less rooted in fact th

As someone who very often criticize US's international decisions, I tend to disagree. I think that the US-USSR opposition radicalized USA, fed its nationalism and its paranoia and led it to develop an empire, something that is simply n

I don't see the business plan there. $1 a night won't pay the rent. Not even the costs that an owner has to pay. Looks like a stunt for something else.

There is a reason GWB did not want the US to be recognize the International Criminal Court. And why Bill Clinton thought it was important: that was about making sure US remains the good guy despite being (during the 90-2020 period) the only
