I'm not a physicist and barely understand some of the things I'm reading in this thread, but your question reminded me that I did hear about a relativistic MOND a few months back (called TeVeS): https://en.wikipedia.org

Corporate censorship and state censorship are completely different beasts, and this false equivalence you're trying to paint is obvious FUD.

Do we live in an alternate reality where open state censorship of media and the Great Firewall are somehow not a thing in China any more?

They are definitely the biggest change in the past century and on par with those big innovations I mentioned, so I wouldn’t want to undersell them as they’ve been a major disruptive change to most / all fields. However, they wouldn’t e

Do any of those even come close to 1822-1922 changes of aviation, global telecommumications, ubiquitous electricity, cars, Quantum Mechanics, and so on? Space exploration, nuclear propulsion and satellites are great, but their impact on peo

Please explain why you think a company should provide goods for people outside their target market? Is market segmentation frowned upon these days?

According to the latest Stack Overflow developer survey, neovim is used by almost as many people as Emacs is[1]. By your own definition, Emacs is a “huge success”, therefore I’d expect you to extend that description to nvim, too. [1]: http

Agreed, but there’d probably be an uproar from the content providers, and neither Apple nor Google has an incentive to be on the users side on this one :/

The OS probably doesn’t disallow any such thing, but several apps have found workarounds such as briefly setting the screen dark when it detects a screenshot, or various other forms of trickery. The result is that the screenshot still gets

Isn't there some evidence to suggest earlier, pre-Christian European religions did sometimes make use of psychedelic substances in group rituals?

I think my psychedelic experiences mirror yours quite well, and it has led to me reaching much the same conclusion, though you've put it into words much better than I've ever been able to. Have you ever experienced your sense of t

The Wikipedia iOS app is just about the most amazing free app I have installed on my iPhone. It's the one app that actually feels like a native platform experience, while retaining everything I like about the original on the web. Truly

You make a fair point, I guess I’m just used to it now. My IDE (PyCharm) adds indentation lines, so it’s never been particularly confusing for me. I do think F# is very interesting and quite pretty, though I’ve never used it.

You're simply admitting to not using a formatter. Both Black or PyCharm's Ctrl+Alt+L format should be able to handle that scenario. You can enable it to run automatically on file save in either (n)vim, VSCode, or PyCharm. Or as a

Isn't the problem, though, that you don't really know what is, and isn't, achievable until you actually get there and have the benefit of hindsight?

I think you're underselling just how much slower and clunkier Teams is. It genuinely overshadows every supposed UX improvement for me, and it's nigh unusable on Linux / Firefox.

In case there’s someone else like me who could use an introductory video on the topic, Sabine Hossenfelder has recently made one: https://youtu.be/yhJWAdZl-Ck It includes some commentary on this discovery, as well.
