A sizable portion of the audience here considers selling ads morally reprehensible in itself. This, on the other hand: >The guy is monetizing a certain base. Probably doing pretty well out of it. OP does say it as if there's somethi

I'm not trying to redefine rationality. I'm referring to [Rationalism]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalism ), a system of values which is fundamental to the modern Western world, and trying to point out

> It's not a moral judgment or a be-all-and-end-all of a person's value. But it is, even though it actually means nothing at all. Let me try and explain. Our society prides itself on being both rational and egalitarian at the s

I see your point. The short answer is that it would quickly become uneconomical to hand people $10 notes IRL. Subjectively, I would consider a single interaction that merits a $10 cash transaction effectively "organic": proof-of-h

On the contrary, my criterion for distinguishing between organic and artificial interactions is exceedingly simple: you either got paid for the interaction, or you didn't. This distinction is made not "somehow", but explicitl

Agreed. Interesting nonetheless. I keep waiting for someone to make one of these with BPM sync and the capability to jump to pre-set cue points in response to MIDI or OSC control messages. I even wrote one like that in multithreaded C some

Dhall looks lovely. Just enough programmability to avoid repetition, but not Turing complete so it can't evolve all the way to reading mail. Or at least, that's the promise - it's on my list of "solutions to try as soon

Pure alarmism. "Help keep X free of charge" is just an apology for the existing business model; incidentally, that's the same business model that keeps clickbait commentators like this in existence. Making FB/IG paid wou

Now this is a use-case for blockchain. Kinda like the USA has legalized some forms of corruption as "lobbying". Put all likes (and dislikes!) on a public append-only ledger, and allow people to buy and sell them freely and publi

Agree with your general sentiment, however your wording invites one to play devil's advocate. >Have loyalty for individuals, and sometimes even teams, but never ever ever ever feel loyalty for a corporation. That's exactly what

The converse is also true: students are relatively less fettered by today's "best practices", less constrained by non-academical pursuits, and thus would be more capable of dreaming up a better paradigm for the future.

Reading some of the comments here, it feels like one needs to lay out a lot of context before being able to describe their Nix experience. (Is that Conway's law in reverse, or just Occam's beard? I can't help but wonder.) And

So does that mean I can just hack together my own derivations in, say, Python, and bypass the whole nix-shell vs. nix-env, overlays vs overrides, home-manager, flakes, etc. menagerie? And use only Nix only for its central artifact store and

This person isn't doing anything wrong. He's appealing to what he perceives as universal principles to attract attention to a technical matter of importance to him. Yes, he's being aggressive; no, there's nothing wrong w

Can't upgrade Deno from 1.3.3 to 1.8.3 by updating the sources and hashes in the derivation, as is normal procedure. `fetchFromGitHub` and friends fail to recursively fetch commits that are not visible from `HEAD` (`git clone` works),

Usually conforming the world at large to the middle classes' taste is in the aristocracy's interest . The have-mores can afford their own bubble.
