   Good analogy! Funny, but in fact there’s even a whole class of self-replicating biomachines named after computer viruses! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_viruses The similarities are eerie .

   Asking for a “compression slider” with a 0-100 range, when zlib already had compression levels 0-9 , is not reasonable. It simply does not make any difference in compression/speed, and needlessly complicates the storage format. The f

   And it's our moral imperative to tell them why the thing they're asking for doesn't make any sense. If I were to ask a plastic surgeon to put wheels on my butt, the reasonable thing to do for him would be to reject my request

   That’s not how evolution works. That’s like saying that a dog could easily kill a velociraptor because dogs are 65 million years “more evolved”.

    I can, if said laws cannot be enforced. Thaf’s the whole premise of cryptocurrencies. Not that they don’t need to be regulated, but that they cannot be regulated.

    My government takes a 20% cut from my salary for the exact same reason. Nevertheless, our public health care is so shitty that every self-respecting employer includes private healthcare in their package. So the government is basically forci

    No, it was a single line of code. We should ban codes like this.

    That's not exactly true. E.g. -1 is also a "factor" of 3: -3 * -1 = 3 In number theory we define primes as a subset of the natural numbers, which excludes negative integers. But when you move on to abstract algebra, the def
