That’s an admission of guilt by the police, right there. If you have nothing to hide… etc.

It matters so that average people have a chance to own their means of production, and that the current hardware-grab by entrenched capital doesn't get to charge such high rent.

When a human learns, they carry that forward into their future ventures. They might use their learning to recreate the original work and profit from it without attribution. In the West we view that badly and have legislation to protect from

Reduce definitely does not reduce character count. It's the loop-hacking that does that. However, I agree it might be less performant, and it's a certain kind of thinking that isn't quickly grokked (and doesn't have to b

(JS/TS is my main language) I love reduce()! It's a hammer/nail method for me. Everything looks like a problem solvable by reduce. (I'm often wrong on that, but I quite enjoy learning why by trying). I really like taking

I'm partially sighted. I've yet to see an AVP demo that made me want to try one out as an access tool. In fact, everything I've seen so far suggested it would be a hinderance. Can you suggest how it could help? What am I miss

Quite the opposite. It looks like a well crafted UI, with care and attention to detail. The kind of thing that takes coordination. Scrum can help with that. The grandparent poster seemed to be claiming the opposite: that scrum makes such th

One advantage to leaving the configs around is that the next time you install the app, yiu get it set up just the way you had it before. Also, AFAIK, this mirrors how command line utils would work.

AI probably should be. The bulk of its efficacy comes from the work of “everyone else” (in loose terms). AI also aims/hope/threatens to replace such a large number and range of jobs that it probabky should be a commons.

Thanks for replying. I think I missed the significance of your narrowed definition of recursion, and didn't apply it the way you intended when I read the article. I admit to my bad reading. I went on to discuss your article with an LLM

I’ll re-read it, because clearly I don’t get it. And I’d like to. My first two attempts made it seem like it was building on a function calling itself, with itself as an argument (so that it can call itself). I’m not sure how that isn’t rec
