Is there any chance that you can expand on the precise meaning of "free will" in a quantum physics context? My understand of the usual common-sense interpretation is roughly "The actions that I take are supernatural, and are

I've considered this several times before, with similar concerns. The solution that seems like it would mitigate these problems is to have contextual social ratings, rather than global ratings. If I indicate the people that I trust,

It's last-chance life support. It probably won't work, but it's a hell of a lot more likely to help me survive than leaving my corpse to rot in a box underground. It's a long bet, and not very likely, but it's sti

There are absolutely some scenarios that can be adequately (or better) handled by communicating with another process! I completely agree with you. There's still a large volume of use cases where linking code in-process is a very good

The biggest stumbling block there, for me, is that it's impossible to write shared libraries in go. You can't write libraries in go that can be used from anything other than go, so until you've converted everything over to

I just can't agree with your [2] as a problem. The actual problem (an assertion failure in systemd) was fixed, several alternative workarounds are provided in case the user can't or doesn't want to upgrade systemd immediatel

The big difficulty in adopting it in any current codebase is that most current pieces of software are not written in haskell. The huge advantage of projects in C like OpenSSL is that you can produce platform-native shared libraries that ca
