I think we probably agree on the core issue, I just kept things a bit too brief. There are people who feel like I described, and there are people who disagree to varying degrees (p…

The issue for particle physics specifically, is that they _hope_ to find something that breaks the theory. But so far, only find confirmations of the current Standard Model. Succes…

You can just fine. The nay-sayers are, frankly, just repeating old-wives tales for the most part. I've been running my own mail server from a VPS (vpsdime) for somewhere around 6-7…

Unless they changed it, small scale bots (10 servers or less, large bots need approval) can see every message event in every channel they have access to using the websocket API. Th…

I use Discord a lot and I agree that it's bad to use it for anything that you can't afford to suddenly lose (though people still use Google and Paypal too). I do think a modern cha…

As someone who was a prolific user of both I'm going to come to the defense of Discord here. First let me say that yes there is some valid critism to be had. Mostly around informat…

> This works fine, because there is still a profit motive at work and the identical evolutionary forces that will kill a particular silo if it's underperforming, and the same compe…

It is possible to maintain the benefits of competition without the level of duplication and profit motives that we struggle with today. Large scale collaborative scientific endavou…

I took a brief look at it and saw nothing to suggest that 'web3' added anything of real value. If you believe there is, then I'd love to hear what it adds that's 1. unique and 2. a…

that's just a thread of paid picrews. What is the value-add that Web3 offers here? That your avatar comes with a digital slip of paper you can use for speculation? In terms of owne…

you replied to a comment saying "[t]he Ponzi hallmarks are getting more obvious by the day" by... reguritating the typical reply given by Ponzi/scam artists when called out as scam…

> Chinese courts did nothing. China does what it wants inside China. Lots of people calling this out as 'a bad thing', but at the end of the day the Chinese government/courts handl…

And facebook also tracks what you browse. (And Amazon lets people die in a storm.)

> which is why it's rare to see a man with breasts who isn't also overweight to some extent. While (assumedly) true, I feel the need to note that the reverse does not hold generall…

For rust it's sometimes useful to split it like that, because it makes it easy to publish small subsets of your project on cargo. Say you develop a custom datastructure, or an exte…

> we are aware of the issue. > We're trying to sort out how to kill the audio behavior now. Are you really aware of the issue? The issue people have here is not the fact that the a…

There is a rather simple way of stopping the ever growing tuition bubble, one that is employed in the Netherland, but I feel like it won't be popular in the US: Cap the tuition a c…

Unfortunately, it's the multi-tenant applications that tend to gain the most from hyperthreading. For HPC it's usually turned off, and I think for gaming and workstations it also h…

True enough, but I personally hit bandwidth limits on occasion for my most heavy processing jobs (data analysis, wouldn't be surprised if the same applied to people doing media edi…

Disappointing that it's still only 2 memory channels. Would have loved for quad channel to become the norm.

And probably (because of that) a very robust codebase-base. Adding a JIT to a 'textual query'->'results' pipeline is a lot easier if you took the effort to silo off each individual…

What's good for manufacturers (the bottom line) is not necessarily good for consumers (or the environment).

Teenagers natural sleeping cycle is markedly later than any other age bracket. When I was one, I wasn't allowed to play any videogames past 20:30, and I would often spend the eveni…
