You seem to think I'm defending modern psychiatry, I'm not . I'm merely saying that positivism is what brought us here, and certainly isn't the way to bring us anywhere better. You brought very little in defense of posi

This is a very naive understanding of modern clinical psychology. Modern psychology is the way it is exactly because someone couldn't figure `out a way to measure the missing serotonin', or rather, it is a meaningless measuremen

They're not being forced to do anything, it's a temporary injunction, i.e. just a remedy. What's noteworthy here is that it's not a preliminary injunction, meaning that Apple might not even have had the chance to defend

The images returned on DuckDuckGo are, in general, really dodgy. While debugging a web-server of mine, I recently found that various constant strings of file servers return similarly `dodgy' results, like for example "Index of &#x

The DNS records in this case are hosted on Cloudflare servers, so presumably for free. If looking at the domain registrar instead, we find the registrar `easyDNS.com`. Their payment options aren't public, so I can't say for sure.

If this was true, we'd see landlords with paid-off mortgages waiving the rent. Since we don't see this on any major scale, we can only conclude that mortgages are inconsequential to landlords demanding rent-payments.

> In this case just 10TB of data was lost Seems like a value judgement to me. Anyhow, something about `innumerable, singular sites of suffering' makes the point rather moot.

If you've ever contracted malware in any shape through piracy, you've been doing it wrong. Public torrent trackers are fine. The existence of various Scene indexing sites [0] allows you to verify a release before you download it.

He does link to an article [0] that mostly talks about multi-platform Go and uses Rust as a language that doesn't have these problems, to the same degree at least. The gist of the article is that, while Go might very well compile easil

Judging from your comment history, are you perhaps used to writing asynchronous code in Rust? In most languages, `Futures` start executing from when they are spawned. This is opposed to Rust, where they execute when they are `.await`ed.

It's certainly a valid position to interpret games as text to be interpreted. In fact, if structuralism and semiotics have taught us anything it is precisely this. In danish education we have the concept of an "udvidet tekstbegreb

I think this is a case of language being context-dependent and how the exact meaning of `inspired' depends on its use. I'll elaborate a bit but ultimately I'll say this: Marx was inspired by the world around him, which consis

Marx wasn't inspired by poor worker conditions: he wasn't an idealist and his writings aren't normative. To claim that Marx isn't relevant for worker conditions today is to either misunderstand him or misrepresent him. T

I think you are a bit quick to dismiss the entirety of deontology. Could you expand on what you mean when you say that deontological ethics ``is not a logically consistent position.''

To be clear, we don't know if the ARM MacBook will be able to run Linux natively. We only know that Apple won't continue support for Boot Camp and therefor Windows anymore. Linux was never supported.

I suppose that's a matter of definition and, in any-case, falls victim to the is-ought problem. I fail to see why moderators should police tone over content and I'm not convinced this is even the case.

How are implicit guardrails better than specified guardrails? Surely explicit guardrails act as therapeutic discourse, in that it seeks to clarify systematic self-deception. By self-deception, I refer first-and-foremost to the myth of objec
