I like the Chain Baker. He has a quite scientific approach, for example he bakes the same bread with salt before yeast, yeast before salt, and two other variations, to explore the difference it makes. In the next video he tries something el

How different would it really be though? Different name of the conpany, but I think it otherwise would not be that different today.

For how long have Microsoft been about selling me to advertisers, and not only selling me software? For a company that is so much about selling licenses and services, it disgusts me to have to deal with this crap. I understand companies th

Sweden is nowadays a low-trust society living in the shell of a former high-trust society. So many processes that are not adapted to the times we live in.

I think people care, to the extent they are familiar with the idioms. But what I think matters equally is that new idioms born outside of the natively spoken English should be seen as equally valuable, when they get a meaningful reach. I a

With English as a true lingua franca, I think us non-native speakers should feel some ownership too. It is the language we are required to speak when communicating with foreigners in a globalized world. I think we should see it as our langu

I don't understand why everything needs to be an app. Why not a webpage? And always these user agreements that require approval..

I don't think there is an upper limit.

That's a good point. But I am curious how special this Classic offering was, compared to what came after. Would migration have been hard?

JSON seems to have established itself for this to a large extent already. I can imagine a binary format like MsgPack to work well for this too but I think JSON is good enough and popular enough that it could actually be embraced widely.

There is an overlap. I often write for-loops in bash interactively for example. The ideal shell works well for both, but bridging this gap is a challenge.

I tried it briefly and the fact that find means grep and so on will be a tough nut for me to crack, learning-wise. I understand that if you start from a clean slate, you want to make the experience internally consistent. But how do you as a

As usual, the truth is somewhere in between. To say it is cancer is to exaggregate to say the least. But it is certainly no miracle pill either. Like most things, it works best in moderation. If you apply it keeping in mind the agile mani

I don't understand why Mearsheimer doesn't move to Russia. He seems very impressed by it and have nothing negative to say.

I don't think bug means the computer is at fault.

Makes sense. I can imagine future AI can perform unprecedented detectice work to connect the dots also between anonymous social activity on the internet.

I don't remember exactly, this is more than 25 years ago, but I think in the dream they were easier than they ever were when awake. In the dream I was some kind of calculus-ninja. I know this sounds ridiculus but personally I believe t

How did you dig? With a shovel? Or some other equipment? How many rings did it take?

What kind of "clocks" existed in the early universe? Can we for example compare the half life of some isotopes between then and now and say something about how they differed?

Argue a ton of your free time? Infinisil's post was about the same length as the one you just wrote, and considering you are engaging in more of an argument in this thread than he did in the posted thread, you better look yourself in

Hello Infinisil! Your contributions to Nix are very appreciated. I am sorry you had to defend yourself against baseless speculation like above.

Your comments are so far from the reality as it evolves in Sweden in recent years that it is pointless to respond. It is obvious you have no idea what is going on here. You can't apply US liberal glasses to fix a situation caused by mo
