Am I especially dumb, or is IPFS messaging really flaky? For example, I still don't understand how to access their resources. Do I need a special client? And this is coming from a person who LOVES torrents...

I've been using Truecrypt + syncthing since forever. Serious question: why would I move to veracrypt? It seems just a risk that something breaks.

Ok just found on wiki. Paul-Michel Foucault. Never heard of him. Thanks for the correction.

Come on, Choamsky is the ultimate "america bad" man. He practically invented it. "America bad" people are also "Russia not so bad" people. These are highly valuable people for Russia propaganda, of course. They

So you're saying that the only two alternatives are you either call it 50-50 or you're a zealot? Weird take.

Serious question - do you have experience to EB? You mentioned SERP and I thought - doesn't matter to me, I have a custom search for Wikipedia that I use instead of google when I know there's a wikipedia for something (I've d

Why? Wikipedia is beating AI in every respect as far as I can tell.

I wish our industry would adopt the custom that to pitch your product you need to compare yourself to the best competitor, or no one will even look at you. There's only one thing I wanna hear from Bitwarden: What do you do that KeePass

It has NEVER been the case that you have to compile a function every time you run it.

> like most economists I think we shouldn’t have them Isn't that basically just scamming? I can tell you I have a box full of gold, sell it to you, and then it's not. You think this is ok?

But.... if you're trading options you're not stealing from the shareholders, right? The person on the other side is also trading options, not a shareholder.

LOL no, it's not a little faster than python :D I just showed you that it's possible to generate native code ahead of time but you ignored that. Now you've moved on to the "next" objection. Anyway, good luck with yo

> contrived benchmarks Why is doing actual science more of a contrived benchmark than parsing and printing a json? I think this says more about what you personally do than anything else.

You compile your code every time you run it? Yikes. Sorry to hear that.

"gradual typing" is exactly how I code Julia. Disclaimer: this is not how to the strengths of Julia are normally described by most people, it's just how I think about it. You might have heard that Julia solves the two langu

Frankly I can't tell you anyone off the top of my mind, since this isn't a subject I find interesting enough to bother keeping a list. There also aren't that many "celebrities" that I'm aware of. I guess you&#x
