Define 'encrypted app' in a way that is not just completely arbitrary and internally inconsistent.

If I possess, e.g., a certain quantity of U235, the government can act on the material, e.g., confiscate it because it is a physical entity. Meanwhile, I can arrive at the knowledge required for encryption, and even an encrypted message, a

What an absolute clown literally trying to outlaw math. Are people going to jail every time they apply Fermat's little theorem, or what exactly is the plan here?

Optional::map returns an empty optional if the passed function returns null. This is incorrect and can be especially hurtful in intermediate operations. Allowing Optional::map to return an Optional<void> would have been correct. Alter

Monads are well-defined, though. Monoids in the category of endofunctors, anyone? The problem is when implementations aren’t actually monads at all. The same goes for other functional concepts. I wrote a blog about Java’s Optional::map he

As long as the companies in question aren't monopolies on violence, it's a complete non-issue. So with that in mind, why would any sane person want to impose such an inefficient mechanism to allocate resources and make decisions w

“More charitable than charity” is circular – nothing can be more charitable than charity. Something can however be a lot more valuable than any action by which value is destroyed. Destroying value, by the way, can by definition not be susta

In addition to being unnecessarily aggressive, this is a strawman and whataboutism. Food for thought: Do you think slavery is or was a “service to humanity”? Because that is what you are advocating: Forcing some set of people to work for fr

The entire point of capitalism is that they are not. That is also the reason why there is no real alternative to the price mechanism wrt. resource allocation at scale.

Obviously not true, as explained by other replies. But if it was true, then so what?

If and only if you somehow manage to compromise one secret without compromising the other.

A better service to humanity yet is taking that money and spending it on whatever is valuable to yourself, thus providing more people with the opportunity to sustainably work for a living. Capitalism and all that.

I, too, own a Tesla. And granted, analogous to the way we can achieve fusion today. Edit: Don’t get me wrong btw. I love autopilot. It’s just completely incapable of handling a large number of very common scenarios.

Nice catch. Those passwords-as-usernames got me :)

> I think of it more like self driving cars. Analogous to the way I think of self-driving cars is the way I think of fusion: perpetually a few years away from a 'real' breakthrough. There is currently no reason to believe that

Science is philosophy, though what one might describe as applied philosophy. The point being: science (the scientific method) cannot exist outside the context of some epistemic system. I saw your 'recommendation' to read about H

> No one is experiencing the reality you are. This is a common sentiment, but it is also a declaration of epistemic bankruptcy, thus incompatible with the scientific method.

Separate accounts for work and private. SSO for the work account is perfectly fine for me as a dev and a big advantage for the company. But yes, don't conflate the two use cases.

Same reason. Besides, you can get bleeding edge software through Homebrew.

Why? Regardless of your view of Trump, would you not expect mr. Cook to play the game? His only job is literally and figuratively to navigate hell or high waters to deliver value to the shareholders.

I want to signal boost the following quote from the URL above: > Forgejo was created in October 2022 after a for profit company took over the Gitea project. It exists under the umbrella of a non-profit organization, Codeberg e.V. and is

Asserting ruminants are “irrelevant” tells me nobody should take you seriously on this topic. Replicating their function is the problem to solve if you ever want to make the case you think you are making.

What a weird question, if it was at all genuine. Not only is it not inefficient but, e.g., cows are absolutely unique and amazing for their ability to digest, e.g., grass into something that is highly nutritiously desirable for humans.

(Implied) invalid generalization, or confirmation bias. This is a good reason to not eat that particular meat. In general, however, meat is an S-tier source of nutrition, vitamins, and minerals.

Risk. There is nothing to fight against, but "we" might consider educating ourselves so that we understand why the calculation that happens through the price mechanism benefits all, and moreso than any alternative.

I love Alacritty, but it does not have tabs. You need to use, e.g., tmux for that. ZelliJ if you want the fully oxidized experience.

Furthermore, require dashes over slashes to signal that you are expecting ISO-8601 compatible dates, i.e., YYYY-MM-DD. Most users does not know the standard even exists, but it serves as an affordance that it is different from dd/mm&
