   Drat - that issue (Feb 88, according to Sussman's CV at https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/gjs.html ) doesn't seem to be in the archive.

   In another universe I’m mining these for ideas for retrofuture/cyberpunk rpg and short fiction ideas.

   This thread is making me realize that proponents of the "dweb" for conventional, popular use will probably want to figure out messaging for it that doesn't activate someone's strongly-held opinions on [hate|free] speech.

   Interesting. I don't have any opinion on the incidence rate of low-quality technical tutorials, but I think this is the first time I've seen Google search results analogized as a fragile public good we all have a more-or-less mora

   We have a wiki, but I personally keep everything in an Org-mode file.

   Easy recommendation, esp if they're into Loony Toons: Toon, the RPG, by Steve Jackson. It's super simple, super fun, and since characters don't (can't) die, it rewards extreme silliness and imagination. http:/&#x2F

    Thanks for the detailed recommendations! I've read the documentation on virtual accounts but haven't wrapped my mind around them yet. I'll have another go at it.

    Thanks. I've had a hard time understanding the documentation on virtual accounts, but I'll have another look at it.

    I have recently learned a technical term for the scenario you're describing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_equilibrium "Informally, a strategy profile is a Nash equilibrium if no player can do better by

    Thanks for this outline. I've been a happy user of Ledger for several months now, but have been stymied about how to model a scenario in which several family members pay me in advance for a bill we collectively owe that's payable

    I've favorited more comments in this thread than anything else on HN ever. Thanks for the great thoughts. I can add tangentially that these questions, these considerations, were pursued almost maniacally by David Foster Wallace, especi

    I suppose GP's implication is that that known condition won't be permissible.

    Maybe, but the second person plural possessive is way easier with the former. Y'all's vs, what, you guys'? When I lived in the midwest I frequently heard "your guys's", which doesn't exactly roll off the t

    I think I know why you say that, but I didn't communicate that something can't be equally oriented toward both knowledge and affect; in fact I'd say that's exactly what people are experiencing when they characterize a th

    I like science as the orientation toward the creation of knowledge and art as the orientation toward the creation of affects [0]. [0] OED 5b: "A feeling or subjective experience accompanying a thought or action or occurring in response

    I wish I'd read this book when I was in my teens. It's transformative even now; but I'm now so firmly entrenched in exigencies, attitudes, and ancient habits that I feel like I need near-daily reminders and affirmations to be

    I got excited about Scuttlebutt but was troubled by my inability to remove old content. It created a chilling effect. I hope I just misunderstood that.

    Solid questions, thanks for the thoughtful response. I can try to speculate. I should observe that I haven't studied developmental psychology or philosophy above an undergrad level, so I'm likely to misstep with both logic and ter

    As tempting as it is, I don't see it as useful to compare Socrates' Athens to any of our modern nations. IMO this is what's wonderful and exasperating about Plato: all of his arguments are based on a bulletproof ideal, a ment

    All kinds of edge cases are possible. That doesn't in any way address, let alone refute, the widespread concerns.

    We also went with option 1, but sidestepped the OP's problem by not requiring the index to be unique. I guess our naive approach was pretty expensive, but in two steps, we first incremented all values from the target position, then ins

    You're saying you don't mind being profiled and don't see the harm in it, but in several places downthread you describe in detail how little you use the platform, how poorly it understands you, and how little exposure you get

    If that's true, that's a pretty handy description of what many US leftists call "privilege." There are many marginalized people, including in developed western nations, for whom the politics you're able to ignore ca
