As someone who has been happy with both Arch and Gentoo for non-gaming purposes, my hot take in 2025 is that I cannot recommend good old Debian enough. Homebrew/cargo for bleeding edge software, but since that lives in my home folder i

Coincidentally that’s about when we discovered god-given rights (John Locke died in 1704), so that makes sense.

Yes it is. In every sense of the phrase, except the literal.

Creative work, i.e. intellectual property. Much can be said about the state of copyright law in 2025, but the basic idea that you own what you create is the fundamental reason we (able to) prosper.

To the second half: If some other party seeks to hurt you, it is in your best interest to prevent them from doing so. Especially if the cost is less than the harm they would inflict. Presuming peaceful coexistence, then it is not in anyone&

A reduction in the space of possible allocations of resources isn’t good. It is good for any particular set of parties insofar as it hurts some other set of parties more than themselves. This is neither complicated nor controversial.

Mail causes me to procrastinate so much, and I have no idea why. I use icloud everything, so I wanted my mail there as well, but after 12-13 months I switched back to FastMail because their UX is subtly better suited to quickly sorting thro

See, the basic presumption needs to be that random statements are false, otherwise you would have to disprove an infinite amount of random statements t arrive at the truth. Hence the asymetric requirements, and why David simply concedes the

What part of their claim specifically requires (or would even benefit from) a source? As far as I am concerned you are conceding the argument by doubling down here. And in spite of potentially being right.

The initial premise is that the universe/nature imposes a requirement upon you to sustain life. Nature can not be a forceful actor by virtue of not being an actor. Same problem with several of the replies sibling to yours.

Tyranny can only be enacted through force. Your example (while definitely unpleasant) is not an example of force. Find another word.

It’s difficult in the sense that somebody consuming your class will sooner or later start relying on reflection to do something with it they shouldn’t (because they can), and then when you make a change in the future it will cause breakage

And Java doesn’t properly support immutability :( Encapsulation is a whole other issue, to which the ‘solution’ is almost always more encapsulation. The nice thing about immutability is that it is not really compatible with how we do encaps

Utterly absurd premise that doesn't even make sense as a dystopian thought experiment. 1. Supply drives demand. If nobody produces anything with which to buy the factory output, then the factories will not be valuable. 2. If most peopl

What about the credentials used to access AWS credentials? I think there's a good case for centralised credentials where they are shared across applications, though I would seriously question the need to share them across applications.

Examine your definitions of politics and morality. Morality encompasses all actions made by actors with (presumed) free will. "God given" means "natural". [Natural rights does not require a god]( https://en.wik

If you think for more than a few seconds on the matter, you quickly realise that intellectual property is a moral necessity, because intellectual expropriation (which is what you are really talking about) would destroy a major incentive f

Don't get hung up in the 6am meme. Most people are stronger in the afternoon (due to the nervous system being fully online), besides you can be both healthy and productive with a routine that involves sleeping a little longer.
