As a zoomer, I'd rather not receive emails that sound like they're written by a moron.

Or you could take long breaths. 20 breaths per minute is only four seconds per breath which doesn't seem terribly long if it's both in- and out-breath.

I wouldn't recommend boasting about owning bitcoin either but why couldn't you involve the legal system? They can go after the criminals who beat you with the pipe just as they could if they beat you to get to your cash/luxur

I personally (using Arch, btw) definitely prefer Arch's behaviour. If I update or install a daemon, I generally want to configure it before (re)starting it.

Is that necessarily a bad thing? If the average person doesn't understand a law, shouldn't that law be reworked?

I think the general idea isn't that they can't but that they either won't, because they're not executing JS, or that it would slow them down enough to effectively cripple them.

This doesn't really work for projects that want to be closed source, as they can just not publish the source. After the 10 years, people can copy the binary, but that doesn't really give you a whole lot of benefit. And if a projec

I assume GP meant that a lot of compilers also interpret and interpreters also compile. For compilers, constant folding is a pretty obvious optimization. Instead of compiling constant expressions, like 1+2, to code that evaluates those expr

Calling someone petty for wanting to keep the workflow they're used to hardly seems good-faith to me.

Actually, Schadenfreude can be neatly translated into a single English word: schadenfreude. English just adopts words that it lacks and (from a German perspective) it's not really special in that regard: We, too, have adopted words, li

I've never heard a fanny pack called a body bag in German. It's a Bauchtasche in my family.

Can't you just use a semicolon to do the same in English? And even if not, just because an idea is split over several sentences doesn't mean you can't communicate it. That's what paragraphs are for.

Yes, I suppose that would actually be a way around the consciousness problem. I really like the memory blocker idea—if we assume that it's not 100% accurate and one or two memories can still bleed through, that would be a third explana

I think the last part is the problem with this argument. We can already simulate worlds (Minecraft), they're just very different from our own. It has to be possible to actually simulate our universe. Not just theoretically, but also pr

Are better cell phones making everyone's life better? I am doing nothing on my current smartphone that I didn't do on my first. I'm not even sure if I'm charging it less often. I guess the camera is a little better.

Why do you need to detect Zalgo-isms and why is it so important that you want to force people to misspell their names?
