I built a map that tried capturing all the programming languages. It's about 700-1000 of them. https://github.com/PhilosAccounting/langmap My reasoning is that there's plenty of looking forward, but lots of

The issue, I sincerely believe, is a form of justice that goes beyond "eye for an eye". I call it "face for an eye": a beatdown in response to a sucker punch. The cause, frankly, comes from severe psychological trauma th

As a former suicide-considering person (never attempted), I sincerely believe it's worth separating the action from the desire. We get all sorts of desires. The mind is full of inactive, dormant code. But, when we get one of them, then

That question could be rephrased as "how much entropy should a system have?" Specifically, I refer to "chaos/evil" as a type of entropy. It's a perversion of virtue. We live in a world system that always seems

How do you go about decentralizing it? I'm fairly new to the industry and have career aspirations in this direction, so please fix what I'm missing: 1. Build out a good FOSS alternative. 2. Market the snot out of it until the un

I don't think anyone's debating your claim. It's a fascinating point of view, and reflects closely to the conveyed image of the matter. What people are disputing, though, is more closely tied to the story. Right now, many p

AXIOM: Inherent bias will always prevail, proportional to self-interest. CONCLUSION: In this case, we know there's self-interest involved. Who, what, where, and why is relatively unknown to us, the pseudo-washed masses, so we must reso

He/she/it's right. I tried: https://adequate.life It doesn't work. Too many variables in life to capture all of them. I'm imagining 20 years from now someone making IntervieweeBot, who will pass all the

Torvalds' Just For Fun really inspired me. You should be having fun doing it. Of course, fun is definitely relative. But, I believe that hacker-geeks find lots of fun building stuff. In fact, I'll be bold enough to propose that if

I strongly believe it's a positive feedback loop: "good life, good sleep, good learning, good career, good friends, good family, good home, good legacy, good politics" It comes off the inspiration from my First Big Personal P

The trouble with free speech is that it hurts people who get hit by it (e.g., scams, defamation/slander/libel, intrusive advertising). The trouble with regulating speech is that the regulators have become a type of autocratic judg

I've had my doubts about the contents. I didn't want to overwhelm anyone, since there's a lot. I realized what you were saying, though! "Long-Term Environment Improvement" is a great grouping, but a terrible descrip

Thank you! I've only been using the labor-intensive trust-issues version of this: paraphrasing things in my own words and linking to THAT. I think I've been curating about 200 essays so far like that. You're now making me ret

This feels ill-timed because I feel like my work is at v0.43 Alpha, but here goes. I certainly would love any criticism because I've been doing this withoout much feedback. I've been writing a guide for everyone to be adequate at

While I haven't taken the time to research further, I figured I'd try to brick the algorithm by speaking absolute gibberish. I also tell everyone else I know. Since machine learning is still "dumb", I figured that enough
