There's one, and only one takeaway for me: it's time to start hosting my own git repos, and only treat GitHub as a mirror. (And on top of that, mirror elsewhere incase my host decides to boot me off.) The arguments over moderation

No, you've missed my point completely. You are talking about the ends. I'm talking about the means. Yes, a society with less suicide is a better thing. We can achieve that in many ways -- however, some ways come with significant o

What you're witnessing is a radical restructuring of what is socially acceptable, or seen as good. This statement about what is "good for society" can't be evaluated by statistics or metrics. It has to be believed, taken

The era of "move fast and break things" was disastrous for a lot of things.

The men who walked on the moon faced a terrible challenge: what do you do afterwards? Surely, everything else won't stack up to... Ya know. Walking on the moon. (You can read their biographies. It was a struggle for them.) Perhaps you

The TFE Discord channel has people with a wealth of knowledge on this stuff. IIRC Lucas Arts designed it from the ground up, borrowing a few ideas and techniques from ID and inventing a few of their own.

I've been playing it in DOSBox for some time. This is quite a magnificent rework. Mouse look is game changing!

Oh wow. I had thought this was, "I simulated it in a high level HDL and synthesized it to gates". No, this is... I built it with physical chips. Brilliant build and write-up! Edit: This is beautiful for a second reason... The lack

Dang, you are a patient moderator. I know I'm walking on thin ice here, and have not forgotten our previous interactions. Your reminder to not switch topics has been greatly beneficial to my discussions here, and off site. Regrettably,

I actually have no idea who maintains AVR-GCC, but this seems like an excellent bug report that could improve the performance of a very important tool chain!

Gotcha. I'll just draft a law saying all devices must automatically unencrypt themselves when they enter my country's borders. Hey, it's the law! You must comply, and for your convenience, your phone will do that automaticall

Just because another country has a law does not mean my phone should disregard what I told it to do. This absolutely is a user setting. How far we've fallen from sharing the DeCSS flag, to arguing that users shouldn't have control

No, actually I don't like that method! Infact, that's the one I was saying I don't like! This weaponizes hedonism for education -- and it's good for children to learn that education can be gratifying. But there are many

If it were between a public school and a Montessori school, the choice would be fairly easy. Such is my distaste for public schools. I think though, what made her such an effective educator wasn't her method. Teaching seems to be more

> The radical idea at the heart of Montessori’s method was not that children learn by play but that adults prevent them from learning by interrupting them. It was these interruptions that turned schools into places where ‘the body was to

In a year or two? You remember Reddit got started by faking a user base, right? Do you honestly still think that anything is ever genuinely "trending" on Twitter? On YouTube? On Reddit? It's all been fake for years!

Yeah, this guide is pretty ridiculous. So many of these "problems" came from bad legislation and a culture that enabled it. "Hi boss, we're getting millions of DMCA takedown requests." The solution? Fix the brokenne

You'd think what they want is a solution to switch over to renewable energy sources that can meet or exceed current demands at comparative costs. No, they just want to get rid of fossil fuels. It doesn't matter if the new system c

A question... Why do humans (or at least engineers) work so well in 1,000? I mean. I use milli/micro/nano/pico as an electrical engineer every day, and it's so intuitive to me. But why three orders of magnitude? Why not

Let me answer your question with another question. Why is it so forbidden to ask this question, and know this answer? It's just a basic fact. My suspicion is that the GDPR apologists know that it's a weakness for their argument, a

Excellent, thank you! This entirely renders the question of jurisdiction moot. It's frustrating that the response to this question has been so negative. It's like even asking this question is forbidden.

Self flagellation over false guilt (at best) hints at emotional immaturity, and at worst, deep rooted mental instability. Having someone like that in charge of "diversity" initiatives is like having Fat Albert run a campaign for h

Still shocked to find the apologists for these blatantly racist ideas lurking here in the comments. No, there is nothing good about "decolonizing", "equity", DEI, anti racism, or any of your other rubbish Marxist ideas.
