Ah, I'm sorry to see this answer so late, but I find this interesting so I'll respond anyway. I find "reductionism" to be a very vague and often unclear term. When used correctly (at least how I understand it), it is mea

When the recent Github v. youtube-dl fiasco happened, I remember reading similarly strongly-worded but dismissive comments regarding fair use, stating how it is quite obvious that youtube-dl's test code could never be fair use and

Many people professing to be materialists are actually physicalists. The claim is not that everything that matters is matter. Rather it's that everything that matters is physical state.

For a nicely documented and clean Matrix client implementation in Python, see weechat-matrix[1] and the matrix-nio[2] library it's based on. There's also Mirage[3] which is also based on matrix-nio and is a GUI client. [1]: https

But as far as I understand the source article, MDN Plus is not a paywall to the type of content that is already on MDN. What's going to be behind a paywall are a kind of technical essays which are not currently on MDN and some convenie

You don't really need equations, you just need missing elements, or debt. Do I have extra bricks, just enough (0 extra) of them or am I missing some? The case of missing bricks is naturally modelled with negative numbers.

zzstructures are both graphs where you can have many edges (of different types) between any two nodes and a method of visual presentation and navigation of that structure.

I agree. There has been some discussion regarding this and I think it's likely Spaces will get their own sigil (but not sure whether it will be +).

I wasn't arguing not to investigate. I don't think there's a good reason to say with certainty that it shouldn't be looked into. What happened is that (I think) I misinterpreted this statement: > Or would you take i

I disagree with this. I think it's very important what tech people think about tech laws and, more generally, what people think about laws. After all, laws are here to protect what the people consider important. Credentials are not n

Sure, I acknowledge this as a (small) downside, but it is at least no larger a downside than not having control over your conversations or being part of a dragnet to be spied upon by corporations and governments alike. I would however have

I think Denite doesn't get as much attention because it doesn't have sane defaults and instead requires you to configure everything yourself using a somewhat... peculiar configuration system. It's also known for sometimes bre

But then grandma is using WhatsApp, which is what we're trying to avoid. The point is not that it's possible to make her use WhatsApp. The point is that it's possible to make her use a better alternative.

Yes, that's what I observe in my locale as well. HR people are usually trained psychologists. Administering and interpreting psychological tests properly is one of the major topics of the profession.

It depends on what you mean by a "full personality profile". I think a skillfully chosen selection of tests, which may sometimes include personality tests, can aid in the selection of the proper candidate. I agree that the battery
