It's more nuanced, because the shadowing is block-local, so when the lexical scope exits the prior bindings are restored. I think in practice this is the ideal middle ground of convenience (putting version numbers at the end of variabl

I had completely forgot about Nim. It was trending a while back, but now it seems all the fanfare is around Zig instead.

True, but I'm not sure if that's such a problem? Rectangle is great, Ghostty is great, I too install something to tweak the mouse speed/acceleration curve (don't remember which one). Do we need all these bundled in? Gene

I have Kagi and love it. But it's once you click on any links and are taken to another website, that website too is ad infested, slow loading, unoptimized, stretches the information so you stay on the page and have to scroll more, etc.

That's a bad example, because here you're explicitly looking for links to websites that offer apartments in Seville. But if you were looking for any information about anything? Say, what's the average cost of an apartment in

You'd need to pay a lot more, because advertisers pay way more than 10$ per month per user, you'd have to outpay the advertisers.

One reason I now often go to ChatGPT instead of many Google queries is that the experience is ads free, quick and responsive. That said, don't be lured, you know they're already working on ways to put ads and trackers and what not

I don't know, I was using WSL2 on Windows before I switched to MacOS, WSL2 gets annoying to be honest. You're better off using MacOS built native unix binaries and a VM or docker. I never noticed ads in notifications, unlike with

How much innovation is there to do in the OS at this point? You can install applications and they can innovate. Maybe you need AI, but maybe you just need some AI agent app that uses AppleScript under the hood. I'd rather buttery smoot

These do seem like things that could be solved eventually. But really I'd say my take is that you're not putting the same effort, and probably since you have more knowledge of the digital side, have a bias, towards seeing its flaw

You’re arguing against a position I didn’t take. "Give everyone what they need to max out their potential" is not "give everyone every opportunity". That’s a strawman. Floor, not ceiling. We set a floor of real opportuni

The issue is more complex. If groups of people are disadvantaged from birth and then throughout their life, it's unlikely they will be the best at anything. But you could imagine that the person with the best potential was part of that

I find this loses the point, because agriculture is essential. If we preserve water it's because we want to keep enough of it for essentials like agriculture and such. Not that agricultural practices shouldn't better conserve wate

These type of studies trot the line of cargo cult though. Incredibly small effects, weak causation, full of possible confounders. I'm not going to say being in a class where you are trying to pay attention and others are being very dis

I don't think a game changes anything. You can fully reload everything in Clojure as well. The only limitation is an existing object instance cannot hook into the reload cycle and upgrade itself at runtime. You need to re-create the in

Clojure is practically just as interactive, I don't feel that difference will be note worthy. I will say, all the warts in Clojure will be due to the constraints of the Java host and some of it leaking through. In that sense, Common Li

That's not what was proposed though, what was proposed was to have kids move up as their ability develops. It's pure hypothesis that this would coincide with less disruption in classes, even more that it would be causative. I also

Kind of surprising, I could see why, but I find Zig more difficult than Rust, so ya, YMMV.

With zero-knowledge proofs and a trusted decentralized ledger, you can prevent double-counting and make the vote untraceable back to the voter. You can also guarantee that the voter was authorized to vote as per the authority, but the autho

I think you're restricting your thinking to Bitcoin. The question is, can cryptography methods solve the problem, not can Bitcoin solve it. I'm not a super expert, but from the little I know, I think it's possible to issue a

Ballot papers != Human either. We'd still have an old fashioned government employed person validate you can vote and are human.

by didibus 1y ago
Well it would still be the government that gives you a "voter id". That part wouldn't change. It would still be a manual verification of your IDs and what not. But once you have a "voter ID" you actually vote online

Yes and no. Confirmation takes time. But it heavily depends on the crypto. Some can be pretty fast. Once confirmed it's guaranteed, it won't drop off. Assuming you can vote from the comfort of your phone or home, that's kind
