I agree. To model any complex system, it only really requires that a person or a group of people understand, and are able to codify their knowledge the system for a given period of time. Just think of your average decently sized code base.

I guess I feel the same. I'm very sympathetic to people who, when making decent financial decisions, are unable to meet their basic needs. Poverty / under-earning like that just creates a constant stress that is completely debilit

I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but it would be nice to hear what is eating into their income so much. My thought pattern here is that if you can't manage on $100,000 a year then you'll have the same problem at $200,000

Right, it certainly seems that feelings exist to motivate certain behaviors, if nothing else. Anybody who thinks about their own behaviors should readily confirm this. Yeah, I just don't have a good answer for it other than to bite the

I do agree, but to be fair, Epiphenomenalism makes a slightly stronger point. Not only is consciousness entirely a physical process, but the 'events' of consciousness (any thought, feeling, emotion, sensation you've ever expe

In philosophy of mind this view is broadly construed as 'Epiphenomenalism'. The idea being that consciousness (any mental activity that shows up for us) is like the steam coming off of a locomotive, just a by product of underlying

Good question. I'm in a somewhat similar boat and I've been haphazardly working through the courses on here: https://github.com/ossu/computer-science Since I have a good amount of actual development work, I&#

Gentrification does not benefit lower income earners and native residents in any long term / meaningful way. You can argue that building new high rises in the tenderloin will help meet market demand, but nobody can seriously argue that

Couldn't agree more. Not to mention other mammals, certainly primates, DO seem to have an innate notion of fairness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BYJf2xSONc Anybody who starts in with the 'natural' order

Right, and letting everybody see some lucky person win once in a while sort of perpetuates the delusion that it could be you, the guy standing on the sidelines. Ultimately, it's cheaper for whoever owns the tent to let one person win e

It's important to note that the epidemic that people refer to is the overdose epidemic, often labelled the opiate epidemic for whatever reason. I haven't seen any evidence that actual rates of heroin abuse increasing year over yea

I can only speak to Heroin, not prescription painkillers. 1) I had tried just about every other drug, and I felt at that point like they had been unfairly demonized. A high school friend was doing heroin, and so I wrongfully assumed Heroin

Yeah, I have a similar feeling. At this point I have a repo that I keep somewhat up to date and then fork the repo for any new projects. Every time I start a new express app I feel like I'm working at the 'wrong level of abstracti

I don't know. This trend is potentially interesting, but the stated benefits don't seem to match up to the cognitive overhead involved in an architecture like this. Also not convinced it's worth adopting three different JS fr
