What do natural and unnatural mean? Are human activities not part of nature, the same way the activitiy of other creatures like spiders and elephants are? Why or why not, and if a distinction between human and non-human activities is drawn,

Cicero might have a good point, but the curt words saying "Read Cicero" by themselves aren't very helpful. It's going to take more time commitment than people reading random forum posts will give to do that. It would be

This is such an uninformed response. Inter-sex people (different from those who identify as trans whose body isn't ambiguous) have existed throughout history. Religions have had various stances on categorising them. It's a non-iss

That's fair. I believe in selective usage for some things too, but the thought came to me that what happened with Eich getting ousted is probably a very early instance of what people call "cancel culture" these days.

Why “boo, hiss” next to Eich’s name? He’s had massive influence on the web as the creator of JS (which I’m not actually fond of for its dynamic typing), and as the once-head of Mozilla.

Why, if not for the person's morals, would they want to avoid the .io domain? What benefit would they have through that action?

I believe it’s a way to reward the person for going above and beyond of what is expected of them, and for caring enough to do a good job.

A cost of living crisis started after that war (ordinary people having trouble with bills), showing how much effort had been exerted in solidarity with Ukraine (whose people are the victims and underdogs in the war). That makes the results

The problem now is that AI generated content, because of how easy it is for humans to generate, poisons the well of information further than previously. There are more lies spread online now and these additional lies make a bad situation wo

We can be against those past misdeeds and against these current misdeeds as well. Please don't divert attention to other examples right now, because this current one is ongoing and we can appeal to our representatives to do something a

It might also partially be that the activity and movements of writing by hand put you in the zone better than using a keyboard. When you have a pen/pencil in hand, your body may feel "it's prose/whatever writing time&quo

I like having greater content area by default, and the text next to an icon in the Gmail Android app is nice too. (The spam button, with its explanation mark, could easily be mistaken for an important button otherwise.) It's one of the

SQLite adopted The Rule of St. Benedict as their code of conduct relatedly which I think is nice (although the project's history with use in military is really not to my liking). So some coders do express overt Catholicism in their car

That's actually pretty amazing. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the answer! Appreciate it. I didn't catch the use of "including Hamas" until you mentioned it either.

What's your point? With the sentence you quoted, I was expressing doubt that someone would be fired by Instagram for deliberately mistranslating that. (A different company wouldn't get the same assessment.)

How did it know the answer when the cutoff date is meant to January 2022? (I just found another instance at [0] so maybe "cutoff" doesn't mean exactly what it seems.) https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT&#x2F

I have a couple of things to say about this comment. 1. Instagram (and Facebook) are well known to suppress pro-Palestine voices (can pull up many examples but [0] should work because of that person being named by Time magazine as one of th

That’s reasonable-ish. It is inconsiderate to bring that up to someone whose innocent relative died (not that he can/will see that). However, the complexity of the situation doesn’t make it any less clear who was the aggressor and who

Thank you @jacooper. Absolutely agree. I wasn’t a teen yet when the Iraq war and WMD propaganda happened, but the shameless lying and misinformation I’ve seen about the alleged misdeeds of Hamas is repulsive and abhorrent. These hypocrites

This is an interesting article. Not 100% sure about the implementation of JumpRope, but I think it combines a gap buffer together with a rope. Ropey (and I think Crop too?) also support cheap persistence.
