Spot on. The definitions have been stretched too thin to retain meaning. If these are acceptable definitions then every impermenant structure is all-weather proof. We just need to be clairvoyant enough to migrate the structure before weathe

The folks at Sublight Dynamics had a really neat product in this vein that I was excited about. Seems like the perfect flightsim controller. They had trouble getting fully to market. Website is still up though so I'm holding out hope!

As with most systems these categories don't work universally because they're firm definitions for complex works which exist on sliding scales. We may identify tropes from a variety of trends and subgenres within a single work of a

Waste is part of life. Especially waste as a byproduct of good faith attempts. Is it better to avoid creating waste? Yes, however; perfection is the enemy of progress, no one is clairvoyant, and best is conditional anyway. My point is: you

Sideberry has an auto snapshot feature which restores previous states. I've successfully used it twice in three years.

I agree with the idea that one should not trust DNS with any information one does not want public. I'm not totally convinced DNS is irreparably broken though. What are your thoughts on DNS over HTTPS?

It can certainly help pierce the shroud of qualia and aid knowledge transfer. Other forms of communication like diagrams, portrait sketches, and maps prove this out.

No mention of Tacgnol? The meme pantheon has certainly waned in power since the beforetimes.

The biting antagonism of your message's tone undermines it's content. Even so you've chosen to die on a strange hill. What you seem to be arguing for is conditional on how "money to to continue" is understood in thi

I am not a physicist. My understanding is that the fundamental forces are strong enough to resist the local expansion of space. So the box gets bigger but particles do not get ripped apart or themselves expand. Space is expanding. Not matte

For mass appeal? Sure. But you said "nobody" would clone the repo and host it locally. I intend to! I'm not sure mass appeal matters much here anyway. I could get behind the "sell yourself better" comment but this i

Just because we perceive something doesn't make it real. I think that's the issue here. By what mechanisms do we prove the perception is congruent with reality?

I write notes to re-explain the material in my own words and test my understanding. Then, once I'm sure I've got it right, I read the notes and use them as reference. Writing in a normal font and then switching to Sans Forgetica t

I imagine the commenter is concerned about the colonial/bigoted connotations that word carries when applied to people groups. Pygmys are a subset of a species whose physical attributes are smaller than the main species. Applying that t

I fought for a refund from Valve for about a week. Couldn't get one. I'm still a bit salty about it. I forget how many tens of hours I'd spent expecting to arrive at anything resembling what was alluded to in the trailers or

Do you really think isolating yourself to the Apple ecosystem makes you more secure? If so: how do you qualify that?

I've tossed money at a few smaller projects that solve a legitimate need. Projects like Nano, or Kyber, or Loopring. The difference, I think, is that I rarely get in on ICOs, I don't throw any money at it I can't lose, and I

I get where you're coming from. I just did this the other day (worked through the night on something for someone else over the weekend) but I may not have if I knew someone was going to come behind me and blow it away. Maybe what I lea

You mentioned a link to another educational video, however; you provided no links in your comment. Would you mind editing your content to include the link? I'm quite interested.

You're right. At the same time I think some people want to post in a forum or talk to someone. Some people want conversation. I think that's ok.

I think you're correct that our inability to explain consciousness physically is a deficiency in our explanatory power. I also think it's nothing more than that. At the same time I welcome those who dismiss wrong-headed attempts a
