I'm not sure an entirely separate mechanism is needed to achieve Zulip-style threading, though? Seems like the current thread design could easily be adapted to support named threads. Does Zulip support nested threads?

> It's not outrageous to say that a criteria for being a "general purpose computing device" is that I should be able to run whatever code I want on it. In fact, it is outrageous not to say so.

Oh, wow! That's so neat. Thank you for explaining. It's curious that I missed this for so long.

The bank and the game are far less important than me retaining full control of a general-purpose computing device and sensor that I keep by my side for a majority of the time and trust in the most intimate parts of my home. This is also

by feanaro 4y ago
That is partially my argument, but not entirely. I'm rather arguing that even if you're using upstream services, you still want to have full and total control and ownership of the device you're using the upstream service from

Huh, never heard of `!G`. How is it different from `%!sort`?

The API is called Insertable Streams. It's not actually supposed to be Chrome-specific, others are just lagging in implementing it. Element has native E2EE for 1-to-1 calls, but uses Jitsi for group calls. Native E2EE group calls actua

It has me doubting its accuracy when it calls Element "Riot". I'm also not quite clear why it splits up encrypted vs P2P messaging when encryption and decentralization are two separate concepts.

I'm curious, why don't spaces work for you?

I think that people that dislike monads mostly fall in one of two categories: those that know about a fancier alternative such as algebraic effects and those that are scared off by an alien-looking unfamiliar concept. Those two groups are m

I think you're missing the point. The problem of colour is not a problem of limitations. It is indeed a good idea to limit your functions to the least required amount of power via the type system. One great way of achieving this is usi

Well there is a case to be made that the web should not necessarily be a general computing platform. Or at least that there should be a separate mode in which it assuredly is not because it is a hypertext platform instead. This use case has

Everyone offering "platforms" these days. It's getting really tired and I can't be bothering to pay attention. Tools is where it's at, not platforms.

So don't use the corporation's network but build an open one?

Yeah, I'm confused, isn't "To get help with problems relating to your account, press 4." and similar just par for the course in almost every automated call system?

> add t0, t1, t2 bltu t0, t1 How does this work? Isn't `bltu` simply a branch that is taken if `t0 < t1`? How does that detect addition overflow? EDIT: Ah, because the operands are `t1` and `t2`. `t0` is the result. Quack.

All the topics mentioned in this subthread sound like my kind of thing. It's sad that Discord bans for that. If you ever want to resume your communities elsewhere, perhaps check out Matrix ( https://matrix.org/ )? If you

It's not a black tea, at least in the western sense. Our black tea is actually called hong cha in Chinese, which means red tea. They're simply different types of tea. There are also two different style pf pu'ers which have

I think a partial cause for the loss of importance is due to design patterns being relatively oriented towards OOP. With the move away from OOP and towards functional programming and type theory, the term fell away because the design patter
