I know our engineering discipline is in shambles, but there are probably better ways to argue against hype without ourselves using hyperbole.

Gödel gave an example of this by making a system of arithmetic generate statements about itself, and proved that it can't generate all possible truth statements (completeness) without generating some false ones (inconsistency). So, log

Could you write it for me as a one-liner? I’d like to learn more Perl and this would help.

Can you write a Perl program to replace the content of anything found inside double-quotes with the result of piping it to the command `fmt`?

I’ll second this. A philosophy for engineering is nestled I think in the larger “philosophy of technology”, but this field of philosophy has traditionally been a lot more critical of technology than most of us can stomach today. This is a

I’m fairly new to macOS development, but I’ve been messing with this a lot lately. Here’s my Swift project[1] for showing macOS trackpad data, which you might be able to adapt to your needs. [1] https://github.com/shaunlebro

Well I’m still the technologist I was when I found this site. I’m not sure of the religious make-up of people here, but I was atheist and materialist when I found it— and only changed recently, but honestly I’m still shedding it.

If by “extra spatial dimensions” you mean the parts of reality beyond our access, then I think I can follow what you’re suggesting. I see matter as reality’s “tip of the iceberg” that consciousness sees. But the stuff beyond matter is proba

What part of your thinking did David Chapman influence? Hard to imagine enjoying his tech criticisms while still throwing caution to the wind with AI. I remember enjoying his breakdown of Technological Determinism back when I was looking in

It might only appear arbitrary to us. The Amish actually periodically try out and evaluate new stuff. Then the elders decide whether it is a net good or bad for them. (Imagine if we did that with smart phones.)

Good points! I think decimal64 doesn’t normalize the significand also. But I can’t assess what I haven’t used. Mine is a snap judgment in favor of understanding more of dec64 vs the wiki article. My general feeling is that it’s time for t

Somehow, your comment has convinced me to just learn native development. Cross-platform work feels like an absolute slog, with or without portable code. I guess I’ll find out which one is less tolerable.

I was frustrated by this back in covid when data was almost never linked. I resolved that it was probably a weird market effect where the data collectors have to be funded by those willing to buy access to it (i.e. news publishers not read
