Yeah, my thoughts exactly. The author seems to believe that what matters is the per-platform absolute amount of terrorists. Splitting platforms up makes that number go lower. But in exchange, banning terrorists becomes infinitely harder as

AUR has a package for "zoom-firejail" which ships zoom binaries with a ready-made configuration and .desktop for launching it in firejail. Goes to show how little people trust Zoom.

Not if there's no obvious fault anyway. Small planes go down often because they are usually flown VFR, by less trained pilots, or as training aircraft. For an airliner to be able to go down at all is a problem. For a small propeller-dr

But what has Musk innovated in Tesla? All Musk has done personally is talk big and then walk back on that once the engineers who actually need to do the innovation can't reach his pipe dreams. In my opinion it's a company like any

I mean I've heard the infotainment system on Teslas is closer to a cheap Android tablet glued to a car than a computer, kinda like a lot of smart TVs are. True or no? I've heard it has some performance issues.

True, it is computationally worse, though it's O(nm) so applying m at compile time to form a practical use as I used it will turn it into to O(n) in practice. But that much is immediately obvious since it's mapping a filter, that

Only true for nondeterministic systems. Which all computers are as there is physical nondeterminism. However, it can (mostly) be ignored in any practical application of these theories, because the chances of you ending up in a nondeterminis

It's not a "sentiment", really, it's a provable fact from history. Human technology improves exponentially, that much is true. AI has continued to improve at a similar pace, if only because of transistor counts. We have

Yes, exactly. They don't make you pay for it, they offer it for free. So I choose not to pay for it. Besides I don't complain about their ads, I simply don't watch them.

Yeah, I'd much rather have something like congruence_classes m l = map (\x -> ((x ==) . (`mod` m)) l) [0..m-1] than def congruence_classes(m, l): sets = [] for i in range(m): sets += [[]] for v

Exactly, that's not a flaw, that's rational behaviour. Why design an intricate solution for a one-off. Using 15 times the amount of time it would have taken you manually to automate a pretty standard task is just stupid, though we

But that's exactly the deal with it isn't it? Neurologists have not discovered how consciousness works. However, we do know that our brains are probably where consciousness forms, that is, consciousness is a material phenomenon.

But they pretend to be legal. They at least make an attempt to seem kind of legal. And that's what matters. If you only accept a spec like this there is no way to pretend to be legal other than to accept it anymore. Make custom cookie

Well futurists love to talk about stuff like this all the time. Besides, it seems progress is an exponential process. So why not ask the questions now? Hell, why not answer them now. The questions and answers are theoretical, not practical

Well it's always the kind of Kantian idea of seeing machines as means as opposed to ends. When is it right for us to consider a machine simply a means instead of an end in its own right? Just because its end is equivalent to it being o

Oh? Perhaps I need to reconsider my past trust in Rust. In retrospect it makes sense, interop. without leaking memory would be damn near impossible. Still, I expect it to be very hard to do accidentally. In C all you need to do is have your

Rust is far from "one of a kind". There's a similar-ish project for C at https://ziglang.org/ , and to be honest, there have been 20 such projects in the past, 6000 if you count all the total failures, I just

Yes. The answer is to use Patreon and sponsorships for the most part to guarantee an income as opposed to the fidgety monetisation on YT, and to use an adblocker like uBlock Origin to get rid of the YT ads. On Android, check out https:

I mean it sounds reasonable, right, but it just doesn't work that well. Brave's Tor windows might be a better way of using it. Fundamentally, trying to make everyone look exactly similar is going to leave a lot of chances because

Why do you not? No memory leaks, no security issues stemming from such. No random crashes from memory misuse, no issues debugging the issues that exist. It's like a higher level language but lower. You get to do things your way, except

ADT and pattern matching really does it. Older languages certainly have their pull and can do a lot but with many modern coders having an interest or even education in higher level mathematics, easily being able to do that will put you way
