This is true, in the left circles I'm in, Esperanto is a popular suggestion for language learning.

Despite what happened to his software, which is clearly unfortunate, it's a shame to see it turn closed source. I would have thought that projects would be hopefully moving toward more free licenses.

How is an error differentiated from a panic? Can a panic as is caused by the OOB situation I described be recovered from, or is it necessarily fatal?

If by "bounds-checks indexes" you mean "panics when given an out of bounds index, even if it's a compile time constant" then sure. I'm not sure why people talk about Rust being safe when this sort of thing happ

Your "bi-cultural" point is interesting, and I don't know how much it is seriously explored. Do you think it's possible for someone with no prior connection to a place to "adopt" the culture by living there? Ju

Low carbs and high fat/protein is the essence of the keto diet, which I've heard has worked out well for some people.

Is there any evidence for this? Some prominent Socialists would disagree with you, especially anarchist ones, such as Bakunin, Kropotkin and probably even Marx and Engels themselves.

> Norway a socialist society. This is literally false. Socialism entails worker ownership of the means of production. Norway is a social democracy, not a Socialist society. It's worth remembering that in Marx's time, Socialism

Sort of similar how in political discussions, there's always someone around to dismiss grievances with "left and right both suck, I'm in the center". I've taken to calling these people "enlightened centrists&qu

That's interesting. I regularly drink soft drinks, and written on the can is the government-mandated notice of how much of my "daily recommended intake" is in the can. For sugar, it says 40%. How does that figure relate to yo

Perhaps it's also worth talking about imageboards. Imageboards also suffer from newcomers asking the same questions, though this is mitigated by third party archive sites and encouragement to use them, to the point in which a common re

I've seen people frequently say that they don't use Firefox because Chrome is faster, and despite being a Firefox user myself, it's close to what I've noticed. In Chrome (on GNU/Linux and mobile at least), pages see

Why would that make it more secure? Couldn't I simply make a lot of fraudelent transactions and append them, having a long chain, but a false one?

Thanks for the response. Out of interest, what are the smaller currencies that may still be profitable to mine with a 2012ish GPU, aside from Etherum? I've read that LTC is unprofitable, for example.

How does "the network" decide this? And what's stopping me from setting the constant to something lower in my own mining code? Does it follow that if most people in the network are duped into a ridiculously high difficulty, t

In my opinion, there's a lot of talk about how Japan or Asia is different, perhaps with truth and perhaps also with the idea of orientalism. In my view, the different cultures have different expressions of the individual, and likewise

I can't really see a reason why source files should only be logic. For a long time we've operated on the principle that they ought to be readable too, because humans write them. So there are comments, formatting, and styles of pro

I broadly agree that intellecutal property isn't really property at all, and that copyright laws are unjust indeed, though I think it is hyperbolic to say that we'd have world peace and abundance just by their abandonment. More br

I don't understand this. Surely it's up to me to accept whatever I want? If I tell you in advance that I want 5 apples in return for my 10 potatoes, that's all I'll accept. I don't want money, I want apples. Why is

And by extension the price system in general, the mode of production we live in prioritising the maximisation of short term profit over care for the environment in future or even presently.

To be fair, static blog generators have been around for years, and their use is hardly a fad, considering the number of blogs that people host on github etc. It hasn't caught on as much among non-tech types, but it's certainly not

What about mounting devices that use common filesystems? This is probably one of my biggest gripes with obsd. Mounting a regular msdos for read/write ought to work, but many times it just doesn't. There's no ext4 read/wr
