What in the world are you going on about? Continuing to pay for something that you agreed to pay for and didn't cancel is not a "punishment". If it is, that is the silliest definition of punishment I've ever heard. It is

I am 100% against dark patterns and yes, my comment assumed that it is very easy for the individual to cancel the service themselves. I also think Kagi is great for doing this. Punishing companies because they don't do this is anothe

Yes, this is why anything like affirmative action was always a terrible idea. If relevant to who gets hired, you are literally discriminating against candidates on the basis of race. If irrelevant, you still have the "maybe they'r

Both of those questions are relevant.

Seems like a good wake-up call that all of these responsibilities shouldn't be the unilateral purview of the executive branch then.

I don't think you need clearance for this, so not sure how that is relevant.

How has the GOP been disenfranchising voters beyond gerrymandering? And please don't say voter ID, nobody is disenfranchised by voter ID.

No. All of the details about who killed JFK (and why) were already released.

The existence of a pandemic does not require printing an unprecendented amount of currency.

How exactly did Trump attempt a self-coup? What words or actions (on his part) would you say qualify for that description? There were all sorts of bad intentions on the part of the rioters/coupers/whatever on January 6th, but AFAI

1. The baby in this analogy is not defined objectively. Both sides disagree about which is the baby and which is the bathwater. I can see both sides here. For example, I think USAID is doing a lot of good work all over the world, but I also

> The GOP has been.... > Both parties engage... Seems weird to blame the GOP and then immediately point out that this is done by everyone.

I'm glad you've done both and are here to weigh in! Perhaps you should join the cause as you are presumably a subject matter expert in both things?

Somewhat ironic to claim a "limited grasp of morality" and a lack of education when the instutions doing said education have been preaching moral relativism for a while now.

The majority of the currently elected Congress supports this – it is part of the mandate for which they were elected.

The last two admins already "stole" it via inflation. Do you have any idea how many dollars were printed in the last 5 years? Cutting federal spending is obviously not the thing that will lead to more inflation (though tariffs cer

Because they have assets who are still in the field that they don't want to expose or similar. Classified status is somewhat contagious, in that many of those documents aren't from the time period in question, they could be from y

What is the reason Swift compile times are slow?

by fastball 2y ago
Yeah, I think there are definitely parts of the language design / language features that are going to contribute, but when you need to parse to IR and then compile that to machine code, it seems any features you add that are nice for t

Are there any LLVM langs that have fast compile times? I think that just kinda comes with the territory of having that IR step + all the optimizations that happen at compile time to help runtime performance.

Your wishlist seems midly contradictory. Why does Apple need to open-source XCode if they also provide support for 3rd party IDEs (which they already do, btw)? Also what do you not like about cocoapods for package management? Plenty of peop

More like OpenAI is currently charging more. Since R1 is open source / open weight we can actually run it on our own hardware and see what kinda compute it requires. What is definitely true is that there are already other providers off
