laws are changed by recognizing that people are unhappy with the current ones. people show that by being alarmed about things they are unhappy with.

i'd be curious if red can be used as a commandline shell. the syntax should work well with it. it may just need some wrapper functions to be able to call external programs, pass arguments to them and capture the output.

i think the holdup is the lack of self-hosting. probably the rebol compiler they use can only build 32bit binaries so self-hosting and 64bit support go together. it's on the milestone for 1.0. and according to the roadmap 1.0 is a soli

your response doesn't help you make your case. instead of complaining and namecalling the commenter, how about engaging with the comment as the others are doing. if you don't want this place to turn into reddit, then you should no

that is an often repeated claim that has not been verified. it could be a selection effect, or it could be that it actually works. montessori was originally developed for handicapped children, that is precisely the kind of children that str

unlikely. friendliness is experienced from the first moment you meet someone. my personality can hardly influence that. asians and americans are simply more polite and friendly in their approach to people they have never met. of course if y

my apologies for assuming ignorance. stating your actual experience does make a big difference (and just a hint that you have been in the middle east for some time would have made that obvious). it does change my understanding. you also add

I feel uncomfortable when I [...] see Muslim families where the men are dressed in Western clothing and the women are niqabis, because it's an outward signal to me that they follow an interpretation of religion that is sexist and homo

clearly state the premises that motivate their beliefs thank you for recognizing that. i believe this helps us have a reasonable discussion about this topic. let me also add that neither my beliefs nor any premises they are based on are s

not my experience. sure, wherever i go i will always be an outsider. the difference is whether i am welcome or not. even as a german i have not felt welcome anywhere in germany (i grew up im austria). i have been around the world and lived

the score should include how many bonus words you found (out of how many there were in total) and instead of time it should count how many tries you made because technically you could brute force this and try all combinations. counting each

the burden should always be on the ones who are stronger to accommodate those who are weaker. the majority needs to welcome and support the minority. and it's not that there is no burden on the immigrants. they still have to learn to u

exactly this. the point is the message, that you need to experience things to really understand them. that is true regardless of how the message is delivered or who delivers it. if robin williams actually experienced all these things doesn&

compared to the rest of the world europe is absolutely not welcoming. heck, even as a native german if you move from one region in germany to another you are treated as an unwelcome outsider. less so in big cities where you are more anonymo

yeah good catch, my response was incomplete. QUERY is a POST that is not only idempotent but also safe (it does not change anything at all on the server) (and it's cacheable of course) PUT is idempotent but not safe.

here is a product idea: a public service where you can submit urls for public content which will then be analyzed. the result can then be shared. the platform can allow a number of free submissions, but importantly if the same url is submit

yes, but according to the car you'd be crashing right into a barrier no matter the speed. the car needs to ignore that and allow you to break the barrier.

eron/FUTO are not trying to dilute the term Open Source, they are trying to address a real problem that Free Software and Open Source face, and that we do need to find a solution for. their initial wording may not have been ideal, but

you don't want your car to refuse to move when you are stuck on a railroad crossing despite the gate in front of the car being down. there must always be a way to override the autopilot.

no, a POST that is idempotent. caching is an optional side benefit.

everyone talking about this topic (me included) assumes that this is the case. i have yet to find anyone who is actually hiring people to fix problems the AI created. so far the solution to AI problems seems to be more AI.

they don't have to give explicit permission though, they just have to not disallow it (which an EULA could do, in the US at least)
