Sexual attraction is multifaceted, but by far the strongest and most important/longest-living aspect regarding the strength of a relationship is the biological component which is for all intents and purposes instant and present from th

Women are having a lot more sexual partners, a lot sooner in their lives, today than at any previous point in history. This invalidates any historical models of sexual behavior. You can very well imagine a woman in Victorian times, keeping

Relationships are two-party affairs. What a man thinks of himself obviously affects how he behaves in a relationship but is not as important as the view that the woman has for him. This is what constitutes the basis of the relationship. If

Relationships are hard enough as it is, imagine stacking the deck further against you by going for someone that's psychologically unstable. Definitely neither smart nor wise, at least for the rational type given the massive time &

A replacement for modern x86-64 system is definitely not what the comment I replied to described, even though a lot of these ARM boards certainly apply, depending on subset of tasks needed. Here is one example of what you get for 50 dollars

There is a plethora of powerful ARM processors for dirt cheap prices. The market is flooded with ~50$ 64bit multicore ARM boards that run Linux. In fact, there are no x86 equivalents, so you're basically describing the opposite of what

You value your privacy but blindly trust DuckDuckGo? They say they store all your searches in their privacy policy (but "not in a personally identifiable way" they claim). They also say they effectively rewrite your search results

If you're not terrified at the Western response to the Coronavirus, you're not paying attention. The low systemic risk events we are living through now, prove that the Emperor is naked. An event that produces moderate to serious s

Humans have no moral or ethical concerns that stop them exterminating life forms they deem inferior. You don’t think it's plausible superior AGI would view humans as vermin?

No I'm not, there is no escaping Java when you work with Clojure, since you'll be using Java libraries and working with Java APIs all the time.

core.async doesn't have lightweight processes, for any sane definition of these terms. A code transformation spat out by a macro, subject to all the serious drawbacks I've already mentioned, is not a lightweight process. But looki

It makes a huge difference. You can't use blocking calls in core.async, since they'll block the entire thread. There is no switching when you do a blocking call, the thread your code runs on will be out of commission until the blo

Life is too short to waste on Java? Yes, some of us really find Java that bad. Plenty of other languages have solved the same problems in much better ways (as demonstrated by this very discussion re: asynchronicity). I'll pick Go over

by armitron 6y ago
core.async in Clojure is not equivalent to Go's asynchronous support. Even worse, core.async is the simplest & least-performant way to implement asynchronicity: It's just using an internal thread pool, meaning that go blocks i

I use Smalltalk nearly every day, it's my prototyping / experimentation substrate. I've also done several interactive presentations and taught classes using Squeak as the medium. I'm convinced that Smalltalk was so far a

DDG is more of the same, just pushing the "we don't track you" story to the masses, which most of the time is completely irrelevant. An actual new search engine that does its own indexing is sorely needed.

Agreed, uBlock origin has become a necessity since the web has turned to toxic sludge. But Google has gotten so unbelievably bad that even uBlock origin can't protect against the onslaught of SEO spam and downright crappy results. I&#x

I can't see Go as anything more than tripe aimed at commoditized development. Yay at being a cog in a giant machine. Smalltalk and the ideas it was based on revolutionized personal computing. There is raw, unbridled genius in it and th

Again, the President's "take" is totally irrelevant in US being an authoritarian police state. The issue is systemic and can not be attributed to an individual or office. I'm not an American but have lived there in the p

Let's be absolutely honest. Who the President may be at any moment in time is totally irrelevant in US being (not becoming, it's already there) an authoritarian police state.

The people who created the Internet vs the people who created the Web is a recurring theme in Alan Kay's presentations. Of course you can read a lot more into it, just look at the current state of affairs.

I hope Alan Kay doesn't feel too bad seeing all the nearly limitless potential he and his peers unveiled get squandered and captured by corrupt entities that are slowly but surely strangling the very essence of the Internet he helped c
