So what? It's an incredibly productive language that CAN DO "complex algorithms for compression or image processing." It's accessible, popular, easy enough to use, and ubiquitous. All the ingredients for success. Does it

By that logic, we should ban humans who have a far more significant impact on the death of the planet.

None of those tweets point to anything close to a "profound abortion of an idea" - in fact, I think these are almost supporting the claim. "we could do BitCoin right" and "it fails as a cypherpunk protocol" cou

Decriminalization is the first step to legalization. So, while we wont see psychedelic stores in CA tomorrow, we could see incremental regulation that eventually leads to literal LSD stores, killing the black market. Like cannabis dispensar

I love this and I aspire to eventually, if I come out of the grinder with any ambition, drive, or passion left, do something similar. I abhor big corpratism, and love the way software can be independent and disconnected from it, if not usua

The writer is from South Africa, as mentioned in the post. "Putter about" is definitely not a USAism, it's an English expression used throughout the anglophone world that can be spelled "putter" or "potter,&quo

Yeah this is just bastardized internet dialect. The word's increasing offensiveness (for good reason of course) in most of the rest of the English speaking world isn't reflected in WSB using it as a term of endearment. I call my d

Location and traffic data still happen over wifi of course, so I wouldn't think that's considered "gone dark"

I'm bothered by this because Vim is free, with only a hopeful plea for a donation to a charity for helping Uganda as the "payment." It feels a tad unethical to be charging for a slightly more fancy, maybe kinda gamified, vimt

Hmm. Maybe these post-grads are on their phone too writing about very complicated mathematics that to a post-grad might seem rudimentary. The beauty is that nothing prevents YOU from adding clarity to these "needlessly contrived"

The thing of opposing same sex marriage itself isn't noteworthy. The fact it was widely discussed in the context of Brendan Eich particularly was noteworthy. Obama opposing that has nothing to do with what Brendan Eich is "known f

So, should it have all the foundational build-ups to get to an understanding of the topic? I think that'd be amazing but quite difficult given it took you however many years to get that degree, and I can barely get a computer to do bas

Fascinating. The most interesting thing of these differences is that they're saying the same thing,but the agenda is clear in that saying the same thing is more positive or negative depending on the language. Russian > Gab is an Eng

You're not alone. What a strange feeling.

Wow... really? This is shocking to me. Where do you typically get information about stuff that everyone else goes to Wikipedia for?

"Fairness" is the enemy of accuracy in cases like this.

by elliotec 6y ago
Any examples?

by elliotec 6y ago
The goal isn't "balance" - it's accuracy. Turns out that's tough for some sides, particularly those that eschew reality, to follow or understand.

by elliotec 6y ago
Why do you say that? Are there examples of inaccuracies in it's mathematics articles? What do you wish were better about it? What IS better than it?

I mean, it's what he's known for. It was a very big deal when it was discovered that he opposed and donated against gay marriage. He resigned as CEO of Mozilla over it. Many people outside of internet communities like HN first lea
