Rightwingers see pro-migration and liberal organisations like the UN and the EU as wanting to sow discord and disrupt society though. So this type of argument goes both ways. The distrust of institutions is already there. Foreign anti-weste

The compact itself is ideological babble. Carefully listen to this interview and his views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88KuVlYFXsI This guy was in many UN meetings in relation to the compact. If you watch the interview

The UN for instance supports open borders. This is obvious if you look at the views of those involved. The former director of the IOM was recently very involved in the UN migration compact. There's an interview with him on YouTube some

As a C beginner getting into writing larger projects, especially in that sort of context, the quake source has been my reference on how to structure my code.

Yeah it seems like people don't understand this. We've had an era of JavaScript dominating web standards. I also don't think people realize this is only the start of wasm...

I mean it's obvious that the vast majority of people, parents and their children, are spending too much time in front of a computer, TV or phone screen. I'm 20 now, growing up I barely had any contact with my father besides maybe

Personally the more disciplined and conscious I am of my senses and feelings, the easier it becomes to enjoy them without too much guided thinking.

Here's a crowdfunded, decentralized YouTube. Crowdfunded. Decentralized. I don't see why everyone is using private business and investment lingo. People seem to be missing the point entirely. Also, if your startup fails and you di

Making the assumption that new technology or "innovation" needs to involve larges sums of money, especially if we're talking about software, seems strange. Which is what these types of developers want to move away from, talki

Ease of user interoperability trumps nearly everything else. Most users don't care about your conceptual and moral motivations as an engineer. All we need to do is change the tech serving the problem underneath without necessarily

Criticising a technology for it's tech is one thing. Claiming that "X won't work because Y always works" casually but authoritatively isn't really criticism. And you can see a lot of people here getting upset over c

This. If everyone in the tech industry adopted a "X works and many people use it, so we shouldn't try to make Y work" then you can say goodbye to progress. Specifically, some of us don't want the internet to serve as an

If you enjoy The Brothers Karamazov I couldn't recommend one of Dostoevsky's other books enough: Notes from the underground. IMO a must read for any intellectual that has ever struggled with anything from self-deprecating thoughts

I was deeply depressed and anxiety strikken during my entire adolescence. After dropping out of university at 20 I got diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar. While sometimes I wish I'd had a normal life with parents that taught we good life

Recently used it to copy half a terabyte of stuff on my home network. Unsure about the exact specification but it supported the same flags as cp as far as I could tell.

People complaining about memory safety in functions whose man pages explicitly state memory safety is not provided...

Exactly. I think he was missing my point: Cells and biological structures of that size have always been easy to look at, it's not so easy to do the same with smaller structures, like DNA.

Also, we can't zap lazers at living cells to see what their doing because it kills them, so actually making the discoveries is challenging.

This is all optimistic speculation. Being able to remove diseases from our genome is not equivalent to being able to create mega-geniuses with blonde hair. The "spelling-checked" persons DNA is just that, their DNA. It says nothin
