From my understanding, DID is not a well accepted diagnosis my psychologists. I can't comment about this person specifically, but in many cases people diagnosed with DID actually have borderline personality disorder. It's a condit

Sure it's hard to design GMOs, but testing their safety is much easier: feed the GMO to some lab rats and see what happens. Or am I missing something?

by openasocket 11y ago
If you want me to believe GMOs are harmful, you need a better argument than "biology is hard." Sorry if that comes off as harsh. I'll admit that the misuse of genetic modification could have big consequences, but the regulati

By that logic you can assume anything is true. It is certainly _possible_ that GMOs are harmful, but without any evidence you have nothing to go on. I could use your exact same argument to argue against evolution or gravity.

Two pieces of feedback: First, at the end of this I'm still rather confused about what molds are for, and it's implied that all will be explained in the next chapter. This is a tutorial, not the next great American novel: do not e

It sounds a lot like google protocol buffers, or one of the many java serialization frameworks. This "jam" thing may be better integrated into the urbit architecture, but without any portability/interop with other systems&#x2

I have no idea about the OP's system, but I can see some advantages to breaking components up across a network, at least for vertical scaling. First is that server prices do not scale linearly: four 10-core machines will generally be c

Our current evolutionary situation is not completely without precedent. A somewhat similar case is the birds of paradise. These birds have virtually no natural predators and need to only forage a few hours a day for food. With few other f

I still don't understand why this thing was chosen to be the basis for all of Urbit. What advantages do you get from building on top of Nock vs. lambda calculus or SKI combinators or anything else?

Nock just seems deliberately obtuse. The website boasts that "Nock is also the easiest thing in the world to learn" and that the spec "gzips to 340 bytes", but I can't seem to make heads or tails of it. Sure, you ca

people who regularly get seizures are not allowed to drive. The laws vary a lot by country and state and can be looked up here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy_and_driving Most of the time the law is of the form

by openasocket 11y ago
there's a balance there: people are less likely to tip if they are driving dangerously as well. Of course, this is all assuming people's tips are really based on better service. I'm sure tips are like that in some cases, but

I don't know about the borrowing system, but I believe there are several Lisps that avoid mark-sweep garbage collection. NewLisp is one such example, though I think they sidestep the issue by copying everything by default and using eff

They could almost certainly get you for interfering with an investigation, though.

This seems to just seems to be replicating the functionality of C++ in C. The only reason he gives for not using C++ is lack of C++ compilers for embedded CPUs. I think a better approach for the long term would be to use a C++ -> C trans

All you're arguing is that very bad legal systems are about as bad as a vigilante system, which I agree with. The solution should be to try and reform the legal system, as a vigilante system will never be viable. Even in the interim, i

I trust the legal system a hell of a lot more than a lynch mob. In court, I get representation and evidence is considered in a rational and impartial way. The legal system is not perfect, but its way better than being subject to the whims o

If you're dead set on using JSON, note that RAML seems to be a subset of YAML, which can be easily converted to JSON. You could do that on the server side, or just use one of the many YAML parsers written in javascript on the client si

FYI, detecting deadlocks in the general case is in-computable, whether at run time or compile time.

In what conditions could Rust code leak memory, excluding the use of unsafe code? What are the technical reasons you can't guarantee an absence of leaks?

I'm not at all associated with the Cockroach folks, but I'm pretty sure they actually do use MVCC, and the description they gave in this post is a simplification of the actual implementation. At least, there are a bunch of referen

I agree that the situation you describe is slavery. But I think your definition of slavery is far too narrow. By your argument, a country in which slavery has been banned and law enforcement agents are enforcing this ban, by definition ha

I'm far from an expert on economics, but I thought a large part of the value of a currency is the country backing it. If you are a business in the US, you are required to accept payment in the form of US legal tender. i.e. Walmart can&

If you think it is CP you should report it, period. It's law enforcement's job to determine whether it is for sure, not you. Better to raise a false alarm or two than to let a child predator get away.

Producers and consumers of CP are not prosecuted for their thoughts, they are prosecuted for their actions . The subjects of these images suffer real and lasting psychological and physical damage.
