This is so obviously the actual issue here, that I'm surprised this is coming up so late on this thread. You have to be an American whose nose is rubbed down in violence to not see it.

And lack of concern for the end product. In large enough company, outside of engineering department end product quality or even business long term sustainability is often no one's concern.

Sounds like a normal thing to do, if you ask me, to try a different kind of relationships if you have problems with your current relationship.

Yes it's a common form of abuse, it's common because it's easy, it's easy because the "victim" is asking for it. Self improvement work is a better outcome than witch hunting.

It's also asymmetrical because most often than not, subscribing is one click whereas unsubscribing is an obstacle course.

I used to have one as my only laptop for years and I miss it dearly. Built quality was above average, keyboard was great, mate screen (not as rare back then though), easy to open, lack of hardware shenanigans and usable/open source BIO

I don't think I made my point clear. Less than 5% of what I'm doing is related to typography (namely: only when displaying text for the end user). 95% of the time when I manipulate text, the text is intended for a computer to proc

I too miss the time when computers were meant to be symbolic, and 7bit codes were more than enough to explain ideas, and the small minority of people who actually needed to perform typography had dedicated softwares and as far as I know it

Of course evolution is falsifiable, as are falsifiable the big bang theory and the iron kernel theory. To falsify a theory does not require to reproduce it in a lab. It means that the theory predicts something that you can actually observe,

You convinced me that, as I was already suspecting, there is no more risk in having your dna public than, for instance, having a picture of you on the internet. Arguably, even less.

I don't think your message (or others) does justice to the original blogpost. Yes the pipe runs two subcommands in parallel but that is not why the blogpost is interesting (or its author surprised). It's because 'echo red&#x2

By "pretty much", I meant that the bucket lists are already allocation free thanks to intrusive lists; of course the hash table itself can uses allocation when it's resized, or not, depending on user choice. It's trivial

Could you elaborate on 3? It's easy to envision how AI can be used by $powerful to improve its control of $powerless, even before AGI, but how an AI would grab power from $powerful and then behave even worse is harder to imagine.

Assembler has types : bytes, words, floats, addresses, even strings and "functions". They are easily worked around by design though, in similar ways in assembler and C.

The hash map I'm used to in C uses intrusive lists so it's pretty much allocation free. Would they fit the bill?

If by "random universe" you mean a universe in which all states of every particule are random, then my understanding is that we would probably conclude that entropy is neither increasing nor decreasing. Our universe is not random.
