you missed the most important one: there is no alternative. and another relevant one: don't have the resources to switch. (cost of research and moving) and: depend on other people whose mind you are unable to change. i haven't fou

i recommend you look at the demo scene for a counter argument.

doesn't the recent bun controversy tell a different story?

learning lots of different games would achieve the same objective.

by em-bee 3mo ago
i think video games are to abstract to connect them to learning to think like a computer. the most useful thing i learned about computers is to create logic gates by hand. nothing gave me a deeper insight into how a computer works than that

DMARC demands extra DNS entries that SMTP doesn't need, so there is no reason why DMARC could not also demand an explicit MX record even if plain SMPT doesn't

right, and for all to be able to say no requires education.

i didn't say that there is no other possible future. it's just that this is what i believe is the most likely. science fiction presents plenty of other ideas. if you believe any of those are more likely, please share. here is my

the fact that it as about a space toilet made it immediately clear to me that this was not your average cleaning job because space toilets are only used in space. so no clickbait at all, in my opinion, but rather a pun on the rags to riches

i believe that in the future technology will be so advanced that protection of privacy is impossible. the only way to counter that is education to respect peoples privacy and very harsh punishments for violations. i also believe that we wil

it works for me without login or subscription. no idea. but at least i an confirm that the youtube video is the same one. you also want to open the slides and run them in parallel because the video doesn't show them very well. the slid

your scope of interest seems to have a lot of overlap with mine. though i may be am aiming in a slightly different direction. i am also coming from the MUD world (for my websites i use a platform that has a MUD like architecture underneath

i suspect the community disappeared and moved to red already before rebol3 opened its license. but if rebol is still being developed then someone (evidently that's you) eventually did take on the responsibility of maintaining it. i hav

when i read the article i thought that maybe this is where german ingenuity comes from. but then germany hasn't been doing so well lately, and people who do most of their work outside should also be doing better...

by em-bee 3mo ago
sorry, i wasn't clear. i am specifically talking about excess that needs to be destroyed in order to keep prices up. meaning, artificially reducing the supply by creating waste.
258.
by em-bee 3mo ago
the german approach to this is weird. i agree with your understanding of funding, and so does germany, but at the same time they outlaw state funded press, precisely because it has been abused for propaganda in the past. that seems schizoph

they should sell the fruits. and if can't sell all the fruit then yes, eventually they will need to reduce production.
260.
by em-bee 3mo ago
true. but there is a difference between discarding food that has gone bad because you could not sell it, and discarding it without even trying to sell it because some exclusive contract prevents you from selling, or because you want to keep
261.
by em-bee 3mo ago
sure, but the market consequence to overproduction is that the price goes down. if you are not allowed to destroy products just to keep the price up then you will self correct in time.
262.
by em-bee 3mo ago
yes, there should be no excess that needs to be disposed. if you produce excess you should reduce production.
263.
by em-bee 3mo ago
that's the same thing. if you can't throw it away you need to be allowed to sell it. the point here is sustainable production. the EU is implementing laws around that. if you produce more than what you can sell, then you need to r

ah, good catch. the question now is whether giumarra accepted the termination or not. i could not find that detail in the article. if they accepted it, then my argument holds (note that i am arguing how things should be, not what the actual

by em-bee 3mo ago
regardless of how the contract is structured, no contract should allow or force a producer to throw products away. this is similar to a law in the EU that forbids producers or distributors of clothing to destroy products they don't wan

same, i didn't catch the satire and eventually got tired of the stupidity. the thing is, a lot of people around me are using AI like the person in the story. and they are entirely serious. they are not scientists but they could be writ

wow, i guess you got hooked :-) i looked through that chat log. unfortunately over my slow connection it is painful to read. i had to manually copy it one section at a time because it would not load the whole thing at once and kept discardi

thank you. as far as i can see you did everything right and your feelings are consistent and justified. they come from experience and not lack of knowledge. i don't believe there is much i could add or respond to. anything i would say

i never needed the ability to create a self-contained binary for myself, but when it comes to distributing software to other people it makes a big difference. it was always an issue with languages like python, ruby or pike for example. so i

that was kind of a rhetoric question. i was already pretty sure it would work. so the real question is what is actually needed. i found the call documentation. that's a good start, but that is pretty much what every other language also
