> From the perspective of someone who is not living in a large city I think you are primarily talking about the properties of large cities, not about assimilation in general... No, I am talking about assimilation. I'm only concern

There is a very clear difference between "Arrested for disagreeing with Donald Trump" and "Arrested for participation in an illegal act". You know what the difference is. Everyone knows China's crackdown on dissiden

I'm using WebTorrent Desktop to seed PeerTube videos. I'm really glad I can do this to help support my favorite content creators.

Yes. Surely it's about Chapo. I'd certainly not call them as 'greedy' or 'unprincipled' as the people they criticise. However I'll not waste this opportunity to call them bland, effete and ignorant.

I'm absolutely convinced that the world would be a better, smarter, more civil place if Twitter simply didn't exist at all. The tragedy for me is that whoever hacked Twitter wasted the opportunity to do something that permanently

It's worth noting that Linus Torvalds does not write life-critical software. Take his opinions with a pinch of salt. He's made some of the most incredibly valuable contributions to computing, however this does not make him an auth

Not a single one of the claims in your post is factually correct.

I don't think so. Despite its ubiquity, the Linux kernel is not actually the golden standard for safety or performance. Not even for code quality. Ada remains the language of choice in areas where safety is actually crucial. Rust isn

That's not what I got from LeCun's comment. I read it more like: LeCun - "ML is biased when datasets are biased. It's not the responsibility of researchers to ensure that ML is used responsibly in all cases, but the resp

Can you provide a source for this claim that Soros employed nuclear physicists? After spending a few minutes searching online I can find no evidence of such a thing happening.

I hope you're able to work through the issues you feel that you have and enjoy a happy life. Being single at 31 isn't terribly unusual in 2020, nor is it a terminal condition. There are plenty of other single people out there to w

I can't account for why you think the way you do. I had an early life typical of some of these places. My area was not as bad as the one you describe FYI. I made so many mistakes in my own early life that really set me back, some of wh

I grew up in a bad neighborhood and was the victim of violence on multiple occasions. I have what the academics call "lived experience". It wasn't any kind of weird fluke, it was exactly the kind of violence you would expect

Does someone know the source for this? Is there a Wikileaks page available authenticating this? I can't find one.

What part of it couldn't you comprehend? I understand what the article is saying. I'm talking about the dysfunctional Node.js ecosystem, which includes Typescript. In response to your personal experience, I'll share my own: I

At what point are people going to just admit that implementing applications in Javascript outside the browser is a poor idea? The ecosystem has been in this poor state for years. It's not like the ecosystem is getting worse. This is th

For me this is a case of "too little, too late". I've been burned too much over the years by the Node ecosystem to risk investing any further interest in it now, even if it has marginally improved. I have worked extensively w
