Yes, stopping all work for the next 50 years right now wouldn't be realistic with that. But then again, you're definitely not going to be stopping work while trying to accumulate more wealth either.

What do you need this wealth for? Bear in mind that wealth is relative. The differences in cost of living are dramatic between countries so a much smaller wealth in one country can be much larger in another.

I find category theory empowers my programming in the design step, much more so than when actually writing code. It enables me to find a more elegant design from the outset and be sure of its utility and elegance even before I program it.

It really doesn't, we shouldn't be redefining words. I suspect you actually mean sharing of historical room keys with new room members.

Not really the same since lambda in Python is just a syntactic variant that is restricted. A function defined using `def` can be passed around without restrictions, which you simply cannot do in Ruby.

Your post exemplifies why it is hard to define and discuss. You implicitly take on one particular definition of free will (though you leave it unstated) and then discuss it as if it is the only obvious thing one could consider when they s

I think the commenter meant that the notion that QM is needlessly complex and akin to the Ptolematic system is nothing but conjecture.

It's not very arbitrary. The reasoning (in one of the upstream posts) is that Python is one of the world's most used programming languages. It definitely makes sense for large multi-billion corporations which are the users of this

Why do you assume he isn't paying? The payment should obviously be proportional, though. You can't expect a single individual to finance what a gigantic multibillion corporation could.

I was not contesting that, I was contesting the claim that you have to be a large organization and/or have a lot of money to be able to run Synapse. This is untrue. Stop moving the goalposts.

I'm saying it's not true in the general case either. In fact, taking into account other things I've said, my claim is that Synapse can easily run on a home computer or a relatively cheap/weak VPS. In what sense is it t

The federation is chatting around the clock. Remember, joining a Matrix room means that your server needs to handle all of the room's traffic. And 25 users can easily be in a lot of large rooms. However, each room only needs to be hand
