Disclaimer, I'm a regular horn tooter for F# but imho this is such a perfect case for the language. It has similar line density to python, but with static type inference. Admittedly you will have to be explicit about using mutables, bu

I would say if an officer has their camera off in line of duty, and something happens they should be charged with obstruction of justice.

I wonder if this violates the CFAA if/when this gets run on a businesses machine.

Links are notoriously complex. One time I had a user whose head exploded when they saw a link to a duplicate.

I think everyone downvoted this because it is advertised as currency, but I think this person actually hit the nail on the head. Bitcoin does have value, but not as a currency because it doesn't actually inflate enough to make it bad t

This amusingly would be solved by having more money.

Bitcoin doesn't inflate enough, so there's no incentive to spend it.

I think this comment shouldn't be downvoted because it's a common misunderstanding rooted in how unintuitive it is that water is so good at blocking radiation.

I think something that consistently deflates is already an absurdly flawed currency. It's not exactly an exchange medium if it's better to hold on to it than do something meaningful with it.

Most westerners don't get cancer, and most westerners don't get Alzheimers, yet most westerners consume all the things you mentioned. Perhaps the problem isn't as simple as consuming the right things.

Just as an aside, milk in the US is a living example of n% fat.

There's another explanation, that they have the capacity to drive price of entry up. That they have enough money saved that they can undercut their competitors and snuff them out before they can gain any market share. So this is true w

No, it's instance by instance. You will see some amount of cooperation, but it's not enforced by any means just a cultural norm created by the twitter refugees to mastodon. GnuSocial has a bit of a libertarian bent, Mastodon insta

You can call it freedom, others call it chaos. The important thing is that you have a choice. Some servers are judicious with who they federate with, others are very open, and I think it's good that you can choose.

You don't have to be paid to be a sucker. For clarification, by sucker I mean someone who is losing something in an exchange without getting anything in return and thinks they somehow got the upper hand in a situation.

Hey meta question here, why do dupes not link to the thing they're a duplicate of. Kinda sounds like it would make navigating to dupes a lot less of a pain. Not meta comment, aren't all flying objects UFOs until you've identi

I think there is a frequent problem where blog posts are written by people who went down a rabbit hole they maybe shouldn't even be down.

I think it's a great feature but I should be the one asking for notifications not them.

That's actually untrue. 3 Blue 1 Brown has an excellent example of how you can use visuals to aid intuition in higher dimensional thinking. It's just not the naive representation.

Yep the verified check was simply a way to impose class distinction. You should hit up Mastodon/GnuSocial.

If asking kills the romance then clearly they don't actually have feelings for you. Speaking as someone who asked, and has had fantastic success.

Is there anything a factory does that currying wouldn't solve?

Frankly the CDC should be able to say whatever they damn well please. I really don't understand how this isn't protected under the first amendment.

Upton Sinclair's "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." still holds true here.

Both of these things can be true?
