Thank you for the reasonable discussion. To clarify, there's no need to tip-toe around politely. I am absolutely asserting a conspiracy! This assertion is on strong ground because academics get caught so frequently putting in writing t

They attempt to deal with it, but there are still massive problems with their simulations of it. Go read the papers, the model authors talk about the issues themselves. Nothing right wing about climatological papers, is there, far from it

I made that term up on the spot, but you seem pretty sure I must just be mentally Xeroxing things I heard elsewhere. But it's not the case. I reached my conclusions based on my own research and by discovering things like the AP story,

You are right, thank you for the detailed answer.

I think modern science rides off the back of the good reputation developed by earlier researchers. In modern fields of "science" it's common to find failure to replicate rates of more than 50%, or even higher. Other fields do

No it isn't. It's more akin to denying phrenology, phlogiston, leeches or almost anything that psychology has claimed in the past 20 years. Bad science is everywhere and has always existed throughout history. You can't just p

The check is just enforcing the legal interpretation of the rights holders, the check code itself doesn't matter legally. Just like how stripping some DRM doesn't mean you now own the copyright to the video.

Luckily both law and politics can distinguish between conventional internet abuse like spam or hacking, and ordinary political speech.

The Nazi Bar "problem" is just a way to justify imposing censorship universally: 1. We ban people we don't like. They aren't actually Nazis, but we don't like them so we pretend they are. 2. They go to some other pl

Sure they ban books (or punish authors for writing them, which amounts to the same thing). https://www.racket.news/p/madness-american-satirist-cj-hopki... Just when you may have thought things couldn’t get any crazier

The AfD isn't a Nazi or Communist party, so that's pretty irrelevant.

The EU itself stopped pushing the "just a trading zone" lie a long time ago, back when they renamed from the EEC to the EC and then the EU. It literally advertises itself as a project to unify Europe into a single country ("e

Lol, no they won't. The cost of developing their software stack is massive. They'd either resort to more technical hacks like running more of the driver in userspace, or if push comes to shove just develop a Linux compatible kerne

Presumably they actually can't, because the forked kernel would still be GPL.

Michael Mann is the most conflicted person you could possibly find on this issue. He's one of the climatologists the 1,609 signatories are publicly disagreeing with. He's also the "expert" whose famous hockey stick paper

Wouldn't that be extremely bad, given that 2021 was a year with many lockdowns and COVID related disruption especially in China? Surely 2023 should have experienced a rebound?

It's not 10x but GraalPy can speed up unmodified Python by 3.4x on average: https://www.graalvm.org/python/ And they've not been going at it that long. A few years at most.

Most famous in Silicon Valley, maybe? Kotlin is similar to Swift but arguably compiles much faster despite a suboptimal initial architecture, and avoids weird language/compiler specific problems never before seen, like expressions that

Probably not. D's lack of adoption predates the surge in radical wokeness and I never saw it brought up before. Who the hell even knows what Walter Bright personally believes, that's super obscure. I was enthusiastic when D first

I'm struggling with this distinction between workers and capital, when it seems to me that almost always there's no actual difference. Even if we take pure shareholders who aren't also employees, in practice, basically all of

by nvm0n2 3y ago
But then you're trying to draw a binary distinction when some (many) people are both. The CEO is neither capital nor a worker in this scheme, or they could be both.

by nvm0n2 3y ago
But anyone can get laid off. CEOs get fired all the time, self employed contractors get fired from contracts. So then nobody is "capital". This is correct: the distinction between workers and capital doesn't exist outside of

And I've seen support and sales staff bully software engineers, often for being too white or male for their liking. So they should unionize on our behalf, for fairness and justice?

But nothing forces Disney to continue to fund this studio, or for other companies to give them VFX work to do. The reason for poor conditions in the VFX industry is always identified as the fact that, put bluntly, they are willing to take i

Doubt it's that. They have a normal amount of real estate for a software company. From what I've seen of their culture (at least some parts) it's just more relaxed. Maybe not in cloud but in other areas. They also seem to go

Why would they? The direction for safer JVM research is to implement JVMs in Java, which has the advantage of being both memory safe outside a few tiny core areas (same as rust) whilst having cleaner code than the Rust impl (none of these p
