Heh so it seems because the Pascal arrays and strings were so atrocious, Mr.Kernighan avoided them completely in C. Everyone is supposed to roll their own, with quite disastrous consequences.

So you refuse to learn from the history, because that's basically the UNIX model. That you string together simple text processing programs and any misbehaving program gets sigsegv without endangering anything, you don't have to wo

Talk is cheap. If noone has so far succeeded to build any industrial process capable of sitting around most of the time waiting for cheap energy that had economical sense...what makes this different? Every industrial process has huge overhe

Being able to precisely calculate movement of planets in Solar system and also calculate their mass was a huge triumph of physics. The problem is the same math doesn't work with visible stars orbiting in galaxies nor galaxy clusters. S

Not easy either but they have less of "the reward for work done is more work more learning".

Hard to believe IQ can be gene edited by 60 points simply like we can increase weight of chicken. And that without side effects. Is there any supporting evidence? The fluorescent spunk made me chuckle. But I'd be wary of having such un

If you're doing mutations, you're supposed to explicitly use transactions anyway, with well defined logical units of work. "DELETE FROM table LIMIT 10" does not look like anything well defined. In case of connection issu

Arguing by bygone "rightly ordered sexuality" has not anything to do with truth. It was always carefully tabuized and repressed to look nice and orderly.

There were too many cheap accusations of hypocrisy "you say X is bad so why do you use it yourself". So everyone is now preempting it.

It isn't something completely new, there are many cases of unwarranted trust in machines even before computers existed. AI just adds persuasion. The "Pray Mr. Babbage..." anecdote comes to mind: https://www.azquote

LOL what is he supposed to do instead? And if the maintainers are dragging their feet because they hate emoji(my guess, it's common enough), what else do they expect than to be constantly nagged by users.

You conveniently omitted the 25% tax on European light trucks and SUVs in the US. Which is the biggest car market segment.

Sometimes I wonder whether I can really achieve that or I die first. My mind seems to actively resist attempts to keep its attention to the present, it's exhausting and futile. Maybe neurodivergence, hard to say, did not get any diagno

There's middle ground between bolting same parts all day and completely avoiding anything difficult. Both body and mind atrophy when they aren't used and that necessarily includes some repetition.

Even if you self-host on own domain using libre software, you have to trust the registrar and certificate authorities. Thinking you can cut out all trusted third parties is naive,too.

In theory. In practice it does stop being public because it is either sold or used as a leverage as a whole, public and private parts together.

Nothing is 100% safe. Incineration is still safer and less polluting than putting lightly processed sludge into the environment.
