These kinds of analyses frustrate me to no end, because there’s an implicit metaphysical assumption that consciousness is somehow independent of our interaction with the world. Now, I don’t necessarily believe that we will be able to recons

It’s simple economics, dealing with false positives have a negative ROI, so these businesses have a fiduciary duty to fuck you over..

Thank you for proving my point. I also discovered (far more) disturbing porn at 12, but it actually doesn’t preclude you from treating your sexual partners with respect. (And yes, I had several dysfunctional sexual encounters before I actua

Oh my God, as an average moron who decided to pin his professional growth in my current company on learning Go and Rust, these threads are paying dividends that I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams!

It’s a neurological issue stemming from the protective instinct of parents. Kinda sad actually, when you consider that Aaron Swartz was a member of the RSS working group at 14, after already winning a prize for an online encyclopedia at 12.

How does that solve the problem of statements being devoid of return information? Also, what? Pattern matching differentiate between values of a single type, and while the assignment mechanism is a great nice-to-have, it still completely fo

It’s fucking embarrassing that humanity hasn’t held Peter Daszak and his ilk to account for their consistent lies about the pandemic. These people should be named, shamed and shunned, and at the very least, be legally prevented from working

Well, you’re clearly way of the mark here, since you completely missed my point. The weirdness is in your head, mate. (Although the generalization is your responsibility.) I mean, people like you, i.e. people who become parents at a relativ

Economic growth? Of course there are limits, considering the audience here, anyone who’s studied CS at the most basic level should treat this as self-evident. The only reason why we are having this discussion, literally a fifth into the 21t
