Be that as it may, the question itself seemed interesting, despite coming from some quite fundamental considerations.

I dislike the details of JMAP’s design. While I appreciate the value it brings, I can see the 5 years of struggle in the sheer size of the multiple specs needed to define some pretty rudimentary mail client/server functionality (retrie

Perhaps that’s why we don’t find this paper itself interesting — it merely affirms our intuition that we find information interesting when it goes against our previous assumptions.

Most of the sites that index torrents no longer host their own trackers. They stay “once removed” that way I presume. This tracker started in 2009 and has gone offline twice since, returning from the ashes most recently in 2018. It runs on

I learned about it via a political science professor at the University of Virginia. Even the Wikipedia on Dugin's older book says, "The book has had a large influence within the Russian military, police, and foreign policy elites[

In my case I basically just transliterated RFC XXXX grammars from ABNF to code. I ended up really enjoying it. I have seen problems that probably do merit a special DSL or language, though I find it somewhat unfortunate if you need such a t

Thanks to your book I overcame my fear of formal grammars and wrote three essential LL(1) parsers for my latest project. Where before I haphazardly ignored features like quoted strings or escaped characters, I now have extremely high confid

From Wikipedia... > Unlike CFGs, PEGs cannot be ambiguous; if a string parses, it has exactly one valid parse tree. It is conjectured that there exist context-free languages that cannot be recognized by a PEG, but this is not yet proven.

It seems clear that theories of software should continue to develop this level of formalism if we ever hope to trust it with our lives (eg software-piloted automobiles, safety mechanisms, nuclear technology, etc). Imagine if car manufacture

The government covers a big part of the cost iirc. In 2010 (dated I know), the US paid 30% and North Carolina would also chip in 30%. Also I did see some arguments against solar since they have negative environmental impact over time due to

reCAPTCHA apparently doesn't stop bots well at all. When I published a brand new site, I got thousands of bot sign-ups in the first couple weeks. reCAPTCHA apparently had no effect on stopping them. The bots signed-up with real user em

I agree. The problem seems to be the word “Universe”. As soon as you assign a word to a thing, it gains boundaries that separate it from nothing and everything else. My favorite description of origins of things comes from Spencer G. Brown i
