Using this line of reasoning, nothing really collapses, it just gradually morphs into something else and keeps going. But looking at everything through an entropic POV, isn’t very helpful. Civilizations exist in the consensual system of abs

Because GTK3 is so great on Linux, we should run it on macOS and Windows too... I don't know what they were thinking. As far as I can tell, Pharo UI history has been one bad (as in not pragmatic) decision after another.

I don’t see what problems this solves, but I do see plenty of problems it could introduce. There are tremendous benefits to sticking with the tried and tested approach supported by git rather than introducing yet more tooling.

You spent three years trying to get someone else to first understand you and then use him as a go-between for "you" to better understand yourself. That's like debugging a program running on your own computer by using a 3rd pe

I'm not talking about the Greeks, undoubtedly they also have their own concerns. But from a historical, scholarly or researcher perspective, you can't deny that this situation is very confusing. As an American who is interested in

The ancient kingdom of Macedon is geographically located in Greece: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia_(ancient_kingdom)#/m... That region is still called Macedon and the modern inhabitants of that region are

Not to mention the blatant usurpation of the greek word "macedonia" without any linguistic, ethnic connection to it (ancient macedonians were greeks, not slavs). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Macedonia

In any capable administration, a strong degree of pragmatism is required. The difficulty level should not be used as an "excuse" but it should be strongly considered as part of planning. That way, a connection with reality is main

Your argument holds no water and is exposing you as indulging in binary thinking. Educating women is one possible way to deal with the issue, that doesn't mean it is the _only_ way. Like someone else said, it will take at least a gener

There are absolutely no guarantees with mushrooms, regardless of set, setting, sitters, professionals or not. To say nothing about the persistent hallucinatory disorder you are risking ever time you imbibe. Even McKenna swore off mushrooms

As someone else said, you get the results you vote for. Change needs to happen from the bottom-up starting with the people who keep voting for these failed policies and the politicians behind them.

I suggest you familiarize yourself with some of that eyewitness testimony because everything you wrote simply does not apply: https://youtu.be/ZBtMbBPzqHY?t=459 If you have more to say that you'd also want me to addres

Besides, acts like this normalize moral and ethical rot. Do you want your kids to witness this behavior week in / week out? What do you think this does to their development? I took my family out of that cesspit years ago, when my littl

You are already seeing the result of this multi-year experiment. At what point does one lift the veil from his/her eyes? Does the entire city need to become a no-go zone? It won't take long.

Maybe not as dysfunctional as SF, but clearly there is severe social dysfunction in a lot of the cities run by liberals: Oakland, Seattle, Portland, NYC, Detroit, DC, Minneapolis. Allowing for some variation, at what point does one begin to

Sensor artifacts don't account for first-person eyewitness testimony from airforce pilots so they're out. Either the pilots are telling the truth or they're lying. Sensor artifacts are totally implausible in both cases.

Chuck Moore wouldn't consider ANS Forth a .. Forth. There is something to be said about the spirit of Forth as expressed through Moore and his ideas versus the sterilized, industrial or more elaborate offshoots. For us loyal Moore acol

Forth in C++ ... sacrilege! Other than that looks like you had fun but I can't stress how much more fun bootstrapping a Forth directly on bare metal is.

1. Why do you assume that all the data that was made public is all the data there is? It's highly likely the government has additional classified information of much higher fidelity. 2. These phenomena are concentrated around military

GPG isn't going anywhere and Debian is not abandoning it. EasyPG is very mature in Emacs, makes using GPG a breeze and is integrated really well. Age doesn't even support signing and has no Emacs integration.

Decisions should be made and laws passed based on real-world projected efficacy and data-driven feedback, not wishful thinking.

I spent ~6.5 years at Google working an hour a day at the most (cue Office Space, meeting with the Bobs) with nobody being the wiser. I met or exceeded all performance review expectations. When I left, my colleagues complimented me on my &q

I find these superficial debunkers even more tedious than the aliens are here crowd, since they selectively focus only on evidence that supports their POV whilst conveniently ignoring everything else. Given eye-witness testimony by trained

I'll be surprised if it's still around (as in not killed by Google) in a few years. Besides, I don't see it ever becoming popular enough to be an alternative to Linux outside of Google.

Freenode is dead, as far as opensource communities go. Almost everyone I know left for libera.chat and FSF today hammered the nails on the coffin by announcing a move to libera too. The Freenode mess should be a case study on how not to do

Signal and veracrypt are not PGP replacements, not even remotely close. Regarding age, one reason is that it only supports a small fraction of PGP functionality thus useless for many real world applications. Another is that it operates on t
