Pro tip: if your substantive argument requires gaslighting people about the literal definitions of words, maybe you should take a step back.

Yes. Agreed. Did you intend to respond to someone else?

Those comments may be fair. Defamation is not.

It appears you're calling something a scam because an early alpha version was early alpha quality. If so, that would be unprofessional and inflammatory. I'm open to being wrong. So again, can you explain what you mean?

Can you explain what you mean by this? They haven't had a first release yet. They're still in beta.

If you're not going to engage in good faith then don't engage. My post is right there for anyone to read.

Flatly incorrect. In 2020, the iPhone SE sold over 24 million units. In 2022, sales of iPhone mini 13, iPhone mini 12, and iPhone SE made up 12% of total iPhone sales. Thats despite intentionally nerfing every one of those models. If you lo

In what way is the fundamental idea of wxWidgets not sound? It works very well, and is pretty much the only toolkit to do what it does.

What? How exactly would you make that work in practice? Are you going to release the source on day one? Because good luck trying to convince the board to pay for source escrow. And if you don't do any of those things then you will, in

Prior to that date, presumably it would be under some proprietary license, right? That means two things: (1) It'll be difficult to manage community changes and proprietary changes (they might even be mutually exclusive or get on differ

An absolute statement cannot be "mostly true." The definition of political is irrelevant. The result is supertrue. "If even one example of software is not political, then 'all software is political' is false" i

To be fair, Objective C uses message passing, which doesn't have the same performance characteristics as C++ (worse initially dealing with the selector pool rather than a vtable offset; much better later when maintaining stability in y

Incorrect. "all software is political" is a proposition; it can be true or false. If any minimal counterexample exists, then "all software is political" must necessarily be false.

A minimal counterexample is a valid proof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_counterexample Please don't make personal attacks on other posters.

The government choosing not to engage in or endorse certain speech does not suppress others engaging in that speech. What is your argument here?
25.
by torstenvl 1mo ago
This is a decent point but still falls flat for now. Their proposals are just that: proposals for government-funded speech. That said, it's plausible it could have a chilling effect on their independent research, which is of concern.

That string of words is nonsensical. Literally nothing in the OP is talking about "your grant." If you want to start your own grant, either personally or through a foundation you start, nothing in the OP pertains to you. The OP is

True. And a lot of examples from the previous administration, for example, where you weren't allowed to say "gay" or "equality" or "equal opportunity."

No... that's not what minimalism means.

If it's minimalist and written in C why does it have such specific system requirements?
