My point is simple: Porn companies have a duty to keep their product out of the hands of children. I didn't intend to get into the details of the legislation, but on the surface I think it's perfectly reasonable to require proof-o

There are many things that can be done to protect children, all with varying levels of effectiveness and burdens. Forcing porn distributors to stop providing their content to children and to publish health disclosures is one of the most bas

It's not a perfect analogy, but it goes to show that if you're distributing a product that is harmful to children, then you are responsible for keeping it out of their hands. > I am not sure how well this will work Same. Tobacc

Parents do have a responsibility to ensure their children don't access harmful content, just like they have a responsibility to protect them from drugs and alcohol. But if there's a store down the street where kids can easily get

Sure thing. So, I don't think that was the most important part of the article--he's not claiming SF is a Homeless Mecca because of Prop. 47. He was just asking a rhetorical question to point out that the dysfunctional Democrat-lea

The law mentioned four sentences prior to that sentence (Prop. 47).

Yes, I use one sentence per line for things like latex or markdown, but I mainly do that because of line-based diff tools. For me, reading one sentence per paragraph is fine for short things like comments, but I find it gets exhausting afte

Inflation is just the increase in cost of goods. QE can cause inflation, but QE != inflation. It’s called food inflation because people know inflation is about cost, so you don’t need to specify inflation of food costs. You can just say foo

I always find it fun to look at the etymology of words. The word propaganda has it's roots in Latin--propagare, meaning to spread or disseminate. In Spanish, the word propaganda can be used to describe advertisements. Journalism toda

I think both support the use cases of browsing, sharing, and discussing content pretty well. They just have different ways of categorizing and moderating content.

I'm not overly familiar with Mastodon (hence the typo in my comment), but my understanding is that it's a place to browse, share, and discuss content. The UI does appear to be more like Twitter.

This reminds me of the Great Digg Migration. If there was ever a time to promote Mastadon, it's now.

Okay, I think that jogged my memory. So, the idea is that no matter what mathematical mapping you create from Natural -> Real, it will always be possible to find a Real number that is not in that mapping. Therefore, |Real| > |Natural|

It’s been a while since I took a theoretical math class, so I’m struggling to remember how some infinite sets can be larger than others. The “one-to-one correspondence” definition given in the article is throwing me off. If you have two inf

Thanks. Yeah, that's my point. The naming doesn't make it obvious. Personally, I would have called this a StackAllocator, that way the alloc/free order requirement is obvious. I would have made the default behavior to 'p

by jpcfl 4y ago
What an awful API design choice. It’s a stack allocator that leaks your memory if you don’t free in reverse order. Why would anybody ever want that behavior, let alone as the default?

I tried this when I started my popup restaurant. I rolled taxes into my prices, and didn’t ask for tip when collecting with Square. I did this because I love the simplicity of dining in Europe, where you pay exactly the price you see, and d
