OP should note this is 100%, just, like, GP's opinion man. The "must have a .com" idea is dead. Obsolete. It literally does not matter.

Huh? "Force"?

I don't get it. Surely if you ever needed to, you could write an interpreter for loading tbe older files if you decided to abandon this 1:1 representation?

Huh? I've never really understood this metaphor. Take any photograph in Photoshop. First, save one copy of it as a compressed JPG. Now, on the original, add a small densely repeating tiled pattern multiplied on top as a layer. Like a h

I love how this document just randomly throws in "e" which mysteriously means "extra" with absolutely zero further explanation or rationale. This is why mathematicians drive me insane. There is zero boilerplate for expla

While I agree about proofs it's not intuitive to me. A triangle can clearly be visualized as half a square. Look at any videogame square made of 2 polygons. A 2D projection of a cone isn't intuitively 1/3 of a cylinder with t

There were tens of millions of bison freely roaming America before we absolutely purposefully decimated them all. They existed "without oil". Grazing, pooping, making some of the most fertile soil in the entire world. Maybe if we

I can easily visualize a wooden wagon rolling along a rocky slow descent forever and all of the reasons its wheels would eventually break loose. In the case of a platform like Twitter, aside from random acts of god and weather, aside from m

Highschool 99-03 here. There was this kid named Kevin. The big cafeteria has a small entrance and exit to the food service area. The exit was a bottleneck. So Kevin's daily modus operandi was to pick up a dozen or so ketchup and mustar

That's just it. Create a publicly visible repo of code for all of these administrative government softwares. Let the public weigh in. Create a contribution process. We're not talking state secrets. Just an quasi-open sourced gover

For the explicit purpose of my personal data not being siphoned off, owned, and monetized by 3rd party private companies via proxy interactions with the government (like, you know, public school) that are almost virtually unavoidable for mo

Are people really turning to Bun over Vite these days? I struggle to see any advantage it offers.

The CIA has zero legal power to make such a request. ...though I imagine they have several illegal methods.

It does beg the question why the public sector doesn't aim to create a public source software division for all of these administrative needs. Jobs program and all that.

But an AI drone with a gun can do exactly what your worst nightmares conceive of. Like, today. Now. The doomsayers aren't concerned about your autonomous kitchen example.

I'm confused. In OCaml, the type system is strong and statically typed, ergo the type of a value is known at compile-time. So...why would it need to do this to check if the type is an integer?

So are retail investors truly no different from the people gambling their money on the lottery at the 7/11 every night? Do any regular pedestrian middle class retail investors EVER actually earn enough to retire on? Or do anything mean

"increases the liquidity if the market for everyone else" That's just it. The whole premise is pretty absurd. The market, the actors, everything. It's so far removed from literally anything remotely human. It's the

I mean... for decades, the public institutions instead relied on private TV networks to do all of their communications. And propaganda. And they still do. How is Twitter any different than FOX News or CNN?

And yet the PS5 controller is worse at the most fundamental thing: physical ergonomics. The Xbox controller is so much more comfortable to hold and play with it doesn't even count.

It's wild to me that Pokémon GO is still so profitable. The way it penetrated the mainstream years ago was crazy to witness (people of all ages just walking around town playing it). Then it just sort of vanished from public daily life,

"However, spacetime is incredibly stiff, and I think all the known real-world sources produce pretty smooth waves." In English, why does stiffness correlate to smooth waves? What does stiff spacetime mean? I'd have thought a

If their inspector sucks that's on your friend. We searched and vetted and found our own inspector. On Yelp of all places, one of the least trustworthy websites. It took us less than a day to find someone good. And he found absolutely

Just to play devils advocate..who would've thought Javascript would ever end up as blazingly fast as it has become since V8. Maybe Zigworld can do it.
