You overestimate people. Most wouldn't care at all, a few would say that's cool and move on. Religious people would just say their favorite god created those too. Unless the aliens were more advanced than us, nothing would change.

Where are all the people telling us about the _new microsoft_ which loves open source now? It's a huge company, don't anthropomorphize it. It hasn't changed, it's a system for maximizing profits, it does what some people

In the minds of smart people, yes. But most people don't think that way - they don't go through the possibilities to realize this.

This is what i've always wanted - moddable languages. Currently if you mostly like a lang, your options are to keep using it and occasionally complain about your frustrations or make your own lang from scratch, never seeing it go anywh

Absolutely. It's probably the best book i've ever read. Describing it as a Harry Potter fanfic is technically accurate but really doesn't do it justice. It's basically a story of what would happen if an extremely smart,

This is naive. Even if you can make yourself immune, you can't influence those around you. I barely care about words like "shit" and "fuck" but I can't stand lying because there will always be somebody who fa

"truth doesn't matter, only victory" is offensive in any political context. It doesn't matter if somebody is lying about genocide or bribes or abusing position to trade favors. One is worse than the other but it's s

Wow, so much talk about how "shit" and "fuck" can be used unoffensively but almost no talk about how lots of "polite" speech without slurs can be incredibly offensive. For example lying is toxic and no ML model

I find this attitude misguided. More descriptive names are more ergonomic for things you only use rarely but they need to be combined with much better autocompletion than most shells provide by default.

There is also https://liberapay.com/mrDIMAS - see the right panel on the rg3d repo. AFAIK it should be better than patreon because it doesn't take any cut but for some reason people are not using it.

I really like this engine, it looks promising. It's not the most popular rust engine and for some reason doesn't get as much attention as others but from what i've seen, it has the most advanced 3D support. The video says the

Incompetence is a source of extreme inefficiency in modern society. People making decisions don't understand the things they're deciding. This is broken. And there's nobody sane in a position where they can say "STOP,

Most people are reactive, not proactive. Proactive people look at the big picture, search for facts instead of opinions, watch for trends in data and make decisions based on those. Reactive people just go with the flow until some big event

I came here to say the same thing. Yet somehow people don't seem to question it. I think everything governments do should be public by default, unless there's strong justification why to keep something secret. Then that justificat

People could still accidentally use []. I think langs should also support forbidding certain constructs to avoid pitfalls.

Is it? Your personality (how others view it) is simplified to its most defining traits and then that perception is gradually reinforced by how people treat you (consciously or not). Seems pretty similar to me.

The writers do this because people sometimes do this to real people too. Are you kinda smart and look/dress/talk the part? You're now "the smart guy" in many people's perception. Do you know how to sound author

I'd like to point out the previous version written in C might have multiple vulnerabilities. The author has shown complete disregard for security, closed issues reporting them [1-3] and tried to make fuzzing harder [4]. [1]: https:&#x

Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. You wouldn't need to customize anything, it would look good at all tab widths and people who prefer 2 space sized indents would be able to use that in their editors. Actually, it could be eve

The reason is Stéphane Ducasse is using his students as unpaid testers[0]. I can't see any other reason he'd make us use the latest technologies as you mentioned. I also don't like the approach "let's write some cod

Pharo devs are not inventing new stuff, they're reimplementing existing stuff, poorly, in their favorite language because said language is incapable of interfacing with the existing mature tools. Whoever designed the GUI also probably

Except the pain in pharo doesn't come from the difficulty of learning new things or self-improvement but from the buggy environment itself. Learning to save your work every 5 minutes because it might crash any time doesn't make yo
