I don't know why you're being downvoted, this is true. Generally, extra tabs and spaces do not change semantics; nor do new lines (when inlining statements you just can't imply the semicolon). Go files run just fine without a

But what's an AI, what's 'artificial', when does something become so if it's made by/of 'natural' things? Which reminds me of BSG, they have airlocks too.

I think Mozilla needs to re-think their whole marketing approach yesterday. A few remarks: - 50% US / 50% "rest of the world"? Nah. There's little to no chance to make a strong dent in the US, home of Chrome and Apple an

Interesting! The active project (rewrite) moved here apparently: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai Just to piggyback on your interest: My comments were more in the way of evangelizing Plasma (iirc KDE is the company

I'll definitely check it out, then. Thanks for the pointer!

One fundamental premise of representative democracy is that the State protects citizens, and generally their country. What does it say when a State actively engaged in weakening the country, exposing its citizens and businesses to attacks b

I'm curious, why copy from Windows 10 instead of e.g. KDE (Plasma) which has so much more features and such a better UX overall?

by K0SM0S 7y ago
Wait until you discover some basic features of KDE or Gnome (especially the former) on Linux then. Using KDE, both MacOS and Windows 10 feel like it's 2009 all over again, by comparison. I just don't understand why MS and Apple do

Disclaimer: the following is opinion , I can't prove it or show data. Merely my personal experience (and observation). About irony/sarcasm: I used to think exactly like you. I must say it was totally flawed. I don't know how

I had no idea the book was so much of a "thing", its name and principles are basically inexistent here (France and nearby countries). People either feel they "are" smart or not, and believe it's forever. More striki

One thing though: "well" is very idiosyncratic here — a different biology leads to different reactions. IMHO the most important is to listen to your own body, learn in time what makes you "well" and what doesn't. Mi

Side-related but it's one thing probably easier to add to a culture of extended family (where several generations stick together and live under the same roof etc). Not so much in Western countries where nuclear family has become the no

I've observed that high IQ people who tend to function well — certainly not a given — are extremely disciplined. Basically as I see it, using every bit of rational intelligence to tame and condition the rest of their being (emotions, h

You're totally right. "Mindset" by Dr Carol Dweck is probably the most important book (research) on this topic. A must-read for anyone pretending to educate kids, actually to anyone period.

So I thought/researched/wrote for 10+ years about possible legal frameworks and regulation for the 21st century; and in the end it seems an untenable proposition to 'force' such evolution by way of law, if we look at the

The training is a mix of: obsession, up to and beyond exhaustion; grit, driven by passion; a relatively 'fast' metabolism, fueled by food and naps. Nothing magic, bootcamp-style. Basically, working your day thing (studies, work, o

I think you're looking in the right direction. Speaking from anecdotal experience with online communities, when idling or toying at home during their free time, people actually engage socially with friends through chats, networks, game

I haven't worked with microservices directly but what I gather is: - build a UNIX philosophy, "efficient atomicity" so 1 microservice = 1 command - you then build logic with these like Lego bricks, that's your glue code

Just FYI, I don't know about others but France legalized abortion in 1975 after what is told as a rather uphill battle lead by Simone Veil [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_Veil

This is totally right. You might really like Isaac Arthur on YouTube if you don't know him already. "Orbital rings" [1] in his "Upward Bound" series might be just right your alley. Of course, there's so much mo

Right there with you regarding help. One of my pet peeves is to write guides. Even one-offs just to reply to a comment. I thought you were referring to 'wars' between Gnome/KDE, or against systemd, and we're thankfully r

Surprinsingly enough, the French nuclear electricity costs about as much as hydrocarbons. It seems the "almost free electricity!" slogan of the 1960's was less than accurate in its predictions. Lots of valid reasons though, I

I see. Well, the national average seems more in line with what we'd infer from the macro. Thanks for explaining!

I'm so happy to learn that! I wish I could edit the parent post. Way to go, CA. Really. I imagine it's not exactly easy given the 'context'.

You are right on the money. I went to see a specialized "sleep" doctor around 2006 (can't remember the name of the specialty) in Paris, St Anne. He diagnosed what translates as a "phase shift" of my circadian rythm
