Those guys were writers, not philosophers in the first place. Unlimited, pure freedom does not exist and hence the absolute Free Will. It is an empty concept. Freedom is bound by the mind, the mind is bound by biology. Biology is bound by p

How a simulation could reveal anything? A simulation has no connection to reality whatsoever. One single major (or even minor) factor missed in the model, and the whole thing is a bullshit. Imaginable factors with real weights - same kind o

It, obviously, depends. If you went through really good courses and extraordinary teachers, like old-school scheme-based Berkeley CS61A, then, perhaps, some AIMA based course with CL code, leave alone original SICP courses at MIT, then it d

It is nice to see a demonstration of the fundamental principle, described in the Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, in contrast to the cascades of bullshit of the Yoga Pradipika. Humans bullshit everything, painting degrade to the modern colorfu

Nonexistence of time is a fundamental principle, which helps to prune out lots of nonsensical dogmatic hipster's pseudo-science. It is like an ancient hack - to see things as they are one have to remove an observer . One could hack ph

Sure. But according to some crummy philosophy, time as phenomena does not exist, because it requires an observer. The simplest example would be how life (at the level of molecular biology, proteins) uses only pattern-matching but no countin

That was a hint on the cause - why this evolutionary adaptation would emerge in the first place. For everything else - think what would happen in any urban area if a few poultry farms would close for a month. India is one single example of

The vegan nonsensealists perhaps should consider the role of hunting and animal husbandry in the ability of humans to inhabit northern and semidesert regions of the planet and to sustain a population. It is also good idea to read about the

Stopped reading after "stocking bitcoin and cryptocurrencies". For the love of god, who will maintain the internet access and enough peers for a transaction to be made? Golden coins sounds better, but a hundred thousand liters of

Is it because of Putin or Trump? If Trump then it should be the Atlas Shrugged instead.

Lets try it one last time. In-memory database is as much a database as a RAM-disk is a disk.

Nope. Old definitions still holds. If some hipsters are re-using the word to bullshit people it does not mean that correct connotations are deprecated.

The word database means transactions committed to a persistent, durable storage (such that the data could survive a reboot).

I do remember that a straightforward C++ rewrite of Cassandra performed ~10 times better. I imagine that a Go implementation would be orders of magnitude less lines of code, resource usage and tree-four times more performant.

Ivy League degree is not about education, but a social status certificate. That is why 1% are paying for it in the first place. No wonder that most of the Ivy Leagues colleges are of liberal arts. There is MIT for education.

looking at some react-todo-demo and its dependencies - complicating? not at all! J2EE will soon look like a reasonable thing.
