You're referring to the Anthropic principle[1] here, I believe? I tend to think this is not a very satisfying explanation, because it is not falsifiable[2]. More compelling/satisfying as an explanation to me, though controversia

It's not 87 pages, it's 4 pages and 87 stories. I think it may be kind of a meta-fanfic-joke? Maybe? I Hope?

I have not played with SonarQube, hadn't even heard of it until someone I told about Debt Ceiling last week or week before mentioned it to me. I thought it was closed source when I first looked, but I see it's at least partially

Yeah, some people don't like the tech debt metaphor or think it's always a 'bad thing', but I like the metaphor since, like real debt, it's useful but dangerous. Also, like the US debt ceiling, your limit probably

Oh, and I guess it's not obvious from title, right now this is Ruby only, but open to ideas and requests to make it cross language, or to a plugin architecture to make that easier

Primary use case for this at present is probably in a CI/test suite (as I do at work), to fail if things get too bad (and output a number on each test run); though obviously one size fits all automatic tech debt accounting won't b

Awesome, though why wait to push commits? Just put in a branch people can play with/watch until it's ready to merge to master or whatnot. Dunno if I'll have time but I'd love to play and see where it's going, much

Pretty sure that's because Electrum doesn't download the entire blockchain but relies on servers for most of it and only downloads a certain amount of recent history and trusts servers for older history. And it doesn't have t

I mentioned New Kind of Science below, but also relevant here, he did a lot of quantifying these kinds of patterns and islands of complexity in cellular automata... I never finished the book, so unsure how or if he really connected it to ot

A little bit, but reminds me more of Stephen Wolfram's 'New Kind of Science', which are also finite state automata like game of life...

Awesome, be neat to know how many lives were saved this way overall! I also registered because of you! I still have this great idea that NBMR/marrow.org should partner with 23andme.com, but I didn't get anywhere trying to contact

Read the article, it's not code edit distance, it's AST edit distance. If the extracted function was the same as the code inline, I think this would have little effect, though that might depend on the AST parsing.

I commented elsewhere, linking to Integrated information theory[1] but it's relevant here also because you claim theres no way to measure consciousness, but as soon as you accept a formal definition of consciousness like IIT than there

On my mobile so haven't had time to read all the comments or finish original article, but I agree, consciousness is worth thinking about, and trying to understand scientifically/rigorously. Many people are doing so but in particu

A little bit of both I guess? It's become standard enough that most web developers (at least most I know) have an account and use it for a few things here and there, it's dirt cheap and widely available, and it's just text f

I saw this film at the premiere in Philadelphia about a year ago... I was prepared for it to be awful, but I thought it was actually pretty good, albeit a) a bit more like a filmed play in structure than a film (largely takes place in one
