The funny thing is that it references Vietnam, while the Afghanistan exit happened just a few months ago.

Or those that stay together stay together?

That's true. I was thinking that hobby goals aren't real goals, because their real purpose is to entertain you, but then realised that all goals are like that at the end of the day.

by dmos62 5y ago
There's no goal in hobbies. To occupy self with a hobby is to be engaged in something for the sake of it.

I fail to see the difference between these two abstractions. Is modeling, as you put it, not drawing something out from a whole? I think if abstraction meant different things in different contexts, the definition would be to blame.
906.
by dmos62 5y ago
I guess that's how abstractions work in general. You start reasoning in them explicitly when the need (or benefit) to do so is sustained for some time. Then you discard them when they're not needed anymore.

That is some blatant corruption.

If you talk about this at any length and don't mention proxy warfare, your view of the situation might be superficial.

Ultimate truth discovery is the ideal, but in reality all science is biased or follows trends to some extent. Scientists aren't less susceptible to faults than the rest of us.

I think we could debate this. > irony (ˈaɪənɪ) adj: of, resembling, or containing iron. In all seriousness, if we want to get nitpicking let's go back to the fact that the word comes from the Greek eirōneia, which means feigned igno

These terms are (or the lack of terms is) pretty horrible: Ubiquity, Argo, Spectrum, Accelerator. Sounds like names given to ironic sci-fi story characters.

It's all about how you define self-interest and whether your pursuit of self-interest is so short-sighted that it's effectively suicidal; which is what the trend has been. I think it's best to drop the term capitalism all tog
913.
by dmos62 5y ago
Nitpick. The principal premise of capitalism is that pursuing self-interest leads to common good. In other words, good will, in the context of capitalism, is self-interest, which is not what you normally mean by good will: usually it implie

> But he was confident that he could best them all. Because he created Mathematica. That's unkind, and that's definitely not what he says.

Not sure why this is being downvoted. My grandfather was the same way. He slowly changed ways after retirement.

In my limited experience, it's natural to learn things by looking at a problem I want to solve, looking at solutions, and then looking at how to adapt solutions. That's pretty much a high-level to low-level progression. Once you r

I think voting is a good analogy for telemetry. You submit your use case to help decide development direction.

I've not come across someone in tech who doesn't pronounce Libre in French (leebr). Libre is necessary, because English is deficient when talking about freedom, since it doesn't distinguish something being free of charge (fre

I haven't kept up to date. Is Chromium hostile towards ad blocking?

by dmos62 5y ago
This could be solved by a lot of transperancy about what collected telemetry is saying. A user can then check if the users that opted-in to telemetry are representative of his own use cases and thus make an informed decision if he should op

Intention, orientation and living "in spite" of society is part and parcel of the social individual. I'm not putting him down; I'm just deflating him. I'm not devaluing individualism either, it's a tool, but, t

The creators are themselves fruit of the society. It's short-sighted to grant them the privilege to withhold their fruit.

You might be in the minority, but not alone. I had same experience with Witcher 3 and AAAs in general. I find that games with good procedural gameplay and an inherently emerging story are the best fit for me. E.g. Kenshi, Dwarf Fortress com

That's cool. The size of this dictionary is pretty intimidating though.

I've not used the tech, but maybe you could reduce some languages to something lower-level than words, but higher-level than letters. Like syllables. A dictionary of syllables might not be useful, if it's a 2-3 letter syllable tha

I'll jump on the band wagon and echo the same sentiment for Web. Imagine using a screen reader.

I've very little respect for intellectual property. I don't see it as much more than a way to stifle culture and innovation in the sake of greed. You could have a sensible implementation of IP where an intellectual product can be
