It's absolutely possible to continue doing squats + bench + deadlifts in the same workout for a very long time. After about 6 months I moved to deadlifting only once per week, but it was still done on my "heavy day" after set

Riposte doesn't look all that useful outside of a test framework. I want to be able to use REST APIs in a full Racket program, which seems impossible in a DSL without control flow or functions.

Does Racket have a nice DSL for wrapping web APIs? I have a hard time believing it doesn't, but I can't find it. I'm thinking of something like API-Wrap.el ( https://github.com/vermiculus/apiwrap.el ), but

That sounds a lot like the patch theory stuff from darcs and pijul.

My understanding is that shred hasn't been reliable for many years now due to smarter and less predictable firmware in modern storage devices. Basically, you can't trust that your SSD deleted the data it said it did, or that it wr

Scroll to the bottom of the SuperMemo homepage ( https://www.supermemo.com/en ) and look at the list of articles. Some of them are rather informal, others are more academic, although I'm unsure if they were peer reviewed

I'm in the middle of switching from webmail to mu4e. I have a decent mutt setup that I never use, but I switched to Emacs this year and mu4e-conversation ( https://gitlab.com/ambrevar/mu4e-conversation ) looks like

I think it's relatively new, and their data was only recently made publicly available.

OK, but you just switched use cases from a "static blog" to interactive web page with untrusted inputs.

Legal rights are things that society decides you're entitled to. Natural rights are basically theological in origin. Violating them transgresses the natural law regardless of what society decides (or even whether society exists, I gues

I agree with you that there are at least 2 classes of "wants," but I would say the distinction is way more subtle than you think. For one thing, when it comes to my own motivations it's usually completely unreasonable to take

What hope does constitutional free speech have for the future if its citizenry doesn't hold the principle dear? The public must actually practice something that approximates the free speech protections they want from the government or

If you use a custom domain with those services you can still place a file anywhere you want.

That doesn't really prevent anyone from attacking a hosting service like GitHub Pages or Netlify, though.

Most scientific methodology tries very hard to exclude subjective experience by design. Well, if you do that then of course there will be a lack of evidence for subjective phenomena! Just in case you're tempted to downplay science&#x27

That new HP laptop commercial featuring the fingerprint reader makes me facepalm every time. They advertise it as "reinventing passwords" WHILE ILLUSTRATING EXACTLY HOW INSECURE IT IS. https://www.youtube.com/watch

Also keep in mind that when you stack abstractions on top of each other, the whole stack gets more brittle. So if you want me to use your better idea, it shouldn't abstract over the thing you're trying to replace. To give an examp

Correct me if I'm mischaracterizing you, but it seems like our deepest disagreement comes down to this: You think of misgendering as someone imposing a false identity on you. This is an injustice because you have a right to determine y

To be clear, if I met a transgender person I wouldn't know what to make of their gender. So if they told me which pronouns to use I would just use them. (Well, provided they weren't made up words...) But what if someone strongly b

> How am I making them falsify their opinions? If I believe you're female, but call you male because that's what you prefer, in what way is that not speaking contrary to my beliefs (i.e. lying)?

Expecting people to say things they don't believe strikes me as a bad idea.

Why exactly can't you explain that you're male? Why would you be defined by other people? I don't see how these points follow from mine in the slightest. And how did bodily autonomy enter into the conversation? EDIT: At least

Well the principle isn't to avoid singular they at all costs. Although there are contexts that call for a gendered pronoun and where it's difficult to interpret they in the singular ("Alice isn't here, they are over th

This just happens to be where pronouns clash with free speech, which I consider a sacred value. You don't get to choose the words that other people speak. It's invasive and destructive to a person's integrity, and potentially
