Thanks. I got confused because the parent post mentioned the "downfall" of "the Atheist community in the US" as opposed to an outspoken atheist who said something stupid online and got publicly ridiculed for it.

conservapedia.com seems mildly biased on this subject, in the sense that it's entirely biased from a creationist perspective. For instance: http://www.conservapedia.com/God > "Other than creation itself, God is

Looks interesting. I'd recommend packaging some installation options instead of just source. I plan to check it out later, but it would sit higher on my queue if it were easier to try out.

It seems reasonable to me that indexing and search could be decentralized just as well as the documents themselves.

I'm not sure how to interpret the fact that you just typed this message into a textbox.

That was fun! Look forward to more... PS: I went down a rabbit hole on @. Then I felt silly.

The aesthetic would be awesome if it weren't for those giant ads on the side. It throws off my days-till-Halloween vibe.

Most of the issues seem to revolve around accessing clearnet resources through Tor. Hidden services within Tor still seem secure (whatever that word means these days).

There's no reason that the history couldn't be encrypted in a way that's only accessible to the client. There are even techniques for encrypted indexing and keyword search.

Not only do they have to communicate the shared measurement (classically) but they also need to have a shared EPR pair to begin with.

If you're using valueOf like that then you already did something wrong. Reevaluate your life choices.

Are you suggesting that it's better to not educate a child because in Africa kids just know not to fall into holes? Education isn't "sheltering". Proper education allows children to avoid or resolve hostility without res

You're just trolling, right?

Hmm. All I'm saying is that when encouraging violent reactions to things you should do so carefully and explain the difference. But I'd also explain why you shouldn't play on tall staircases or leave serious wounds untreated.

What I'm saying is that you should be careful when teaching retaliation. A bullied and frightened child might resort to using a weapon. The lines between which types of violence "bring you respect" and which don't might

You'd have to be careful not to encourage excessive retaliation. If someone isn't physically capable of overthrowing a bully (or thinks that they aren't) you don't want them resorting to weapons when they "snap&quot

There are even some non-ruin places in the US that are at-least equally as striking as the big tourist spots. Last year I went to see the black canyon of the gunnison, which was new to me, and was totally awe-struck.

It's a neat concept. I also agree that the lambda statement in Python is ugly, but actually using this in a Python project feels wrong. Not that you couldn't call it a "transpiler" and consider it a new dialect of Python

by wybiral 10y ago
Agreed. Python has also pushed the mantra: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it". Don't get me wrong, I love lisp, but it gives you the power to essentially create your own domain-specific lan

Thank you. My back-button reflex to those ads and teaser text pages has never allowed me to subscribe.
