Had to disable IPFS companion for the site because /ipns/davidar.io doesn't resolve (anymore?). It's nice the initial integration was there, though!

> I think the only possible jobs would be some kind of backend-only dev or devops/sysadmin work. I thought that as well, so I became a sysadmin instead of a developer after graduating (couldn't help drifting towards DevOps late

I'm using US-intl (international) right now, supported everywhere I've seen. AltGr+q is ä, AltGr+s is ß, AltGr+y is ü, etc. Might seem weird at first, but it has most of the special or combined symbols you might need, not just Ge

I've read both a lot of Less Wrong (and the R:AZ book) and Soviet dialectical materialism (Marx and Lenin), and I've found a surprisingly large amount of overlap in the philosophical foundations. The way the notion of truth is han

Same for me, learned Haskell a year ago. I have to note that your options only feel more limited if you refuse to look back and acknowledge the "wrong" ways. Your job options were always numerous, you just filter out the unattrac

Fully switched to Linux 16 years ago as a schoolkid, now I have a Linux admin job. NixOS is my current most favorite, I'm using it for the last 4 years on my main box at home and my work laptop. Planning to use NixOps for my web proje

Nah, 4channers are more numerous and/or have more time on their hands. Edit: besides, we are to collab, not compete.

For "Roman XV" I've entered "Arabic 15" and got rejected. "15" was accepted, though. Manual password guessing is not much fun - reminds me of school too much.

Online calculator for password strength, what a great idea! I've got to offer one on my website (gimme all your passwords, mwahahaha!)

The Age of Decadence is a great example, if you're on a lookout for such games. It's a non-linear RPG that lets you play a lone, vulnerable person in a brutal, unforgiving world with a rich setting and highly intricate storyline.

I suppose if the air is compressed by the bottles, the inlet is on the outer side of the cardboard membrane and discharge is on the inner side. Excessive heat is then released into the bottle and stored in the plastic until it radiates away

I'd say a truly intelligent system doesn't need Lojban, it can learn about the world and its languages from observations and feedback, like children do. A pseudointelligent system, however, would probably be much more useful if yo

Good, the video shows Feynman talking about fire and not Feynman burning. I was a bit worried there.

It's only an ill-recepted drug usage if it starts remaking your behaviour as to increase consumption. Does the excitement and anticipation of getting mail significantly increase the frequency of your ordering? I assume not at all, but

The Monty Hall problem is actually much better for educating people, as it highlights the bias hidden behind the "50/50" oversimplification. This Sleeping Beauty problem, on the other hand, is phrased to confuse you, so that
