I have some sympathy for the roman method.

If they actually believe you're killing babies, and thinly veiling it by calling them a 'foetus', their actions make more sense.

I wasn't talking about optimization! I was talking about non-pessimization, which includes not prematurely abstracting/generalizing your code. I've seen people making poor decisions at the outset, and having code philosophie

You should, however, not pessimize. People make cargo-cult architecture choices that bloat their codebase, make itnless readable, and make it 100x slower.

On the other hand, to non-webdevs, webdevs are like an obese american woman trundling down the road on her mobility scooter, giving the evil eye to people overtaking her on foot as she takes a bite out of a hunk of RAMcheese.

The idea is that you've already dismantled the stars and stockpiled all the energy in the universe, to use at your leisure. (i.e. everyone lives around black holes they can throw mass into to reap the bawking radiation). Since you ha

I reckon the real reason people (specifically men) are angry at folks like Asimov is that they're jealous.

MLK would've had his bank account frozen. If I want to send somebody money, I want to send them money; no matter what you call them. Crypto seems like a convenient way to do this, and the more repressive governments get, the more of a

They aren't wrong because the science proves them wrong, though- they're wrong because they happen to not be right. Sometimes, the scientific or quasi-scientific institutions we have just aren't sufficiently uncentivised to

How do you decide who cleans the toilets?

Or when all the experts are saying the same thing, and they're all wrong.

Then who's talking 'arbitrarkily' is decided arbitrarily by a board at twitter.

Your rhetoric, and the practices you're advocating for, rightfully hurt the public's trust in scientific and public health institutions. As a layperson, I don't trust someone who lies to me, no matter that they say it's

Governments are extremely inefficient, and taxes are mostly wasted; higher taxes disincentivise people from making things. You might say taxes are necessary, but they're an evil. Obama blew up a bunch of middle-eastern kids. A lot of

In many regions, local society as a whole disagreed with the mandates of the distant government. That was my experience- people trying to go about their lives and being hassled by the police for having friends over.

Soft foods cause crooked teeth. Ancestral humans ate raw tubers and other very chewy things that exercised their jaws, and the growing human body needs this resistance/exercise. If you look at modern hunter-gatherer tribes with tradi

Isn't the joy of life what makes its end scary?

Hm. Lol and dota are the same, overwatch is TF2 meets lol+dota, and tf2 is CS with classes. There's a spectrum connecting everything you've mentioned, but dota and cs are definitely different enough.

How do you swuare this with the wide-scale infantilization of westerners in the last 30 years? What do you think changed?

Well, he's mistaken in his assumption others will act the same way as him. That's a kind of 'wrong', too- towards himself.

Tattoos, piercings, and a quirky style signal you're the right kind of (cultural) drone. (A corporate wageslave could run away and integrate somewhere else; better to brand them with distinctive, permanent markers.)

How would you know whether one thing id better than the other without testing them- having them compete against each other? Most e.g. products you could make are a waste, and figuring out what should be made and how much of it is a very no
