But then there's the opposite in maths where there's an overload on "plain" terminology. "Normal" means a billion different things. Same as "regular" or "simple". Omitting the huma…

Are 99.99% convinced that normal voting is secure?

Why not have controls in your program to do these immediate, non-logic changing modifications? It can report the ideal value through a debug interface. No recompiles needed. I'd al…

Assuming you can learn anything from the experience. What you might learn is weird idiosyncrasies and futile tactics playing from desperation. You might learn to not lose so quickl…

Do you have a reference for that first point? I couldn't find it on Google, but would be interested to learn about it.

That's one way of looking at it. Another is that they provide products with consistently high margins, and encourage vendor lock in.

Wasn't Ingress an augmented-reality social network? It's been around for years.

I think it's more a password manager that doesn't manage passwords. You can't set an expiry date on a password. You can't change a password if it's compromised. You don't know when…

The problem with extracting org-mode into its own application is that a lot of the magic of org-mode comes from emacs. It's not so much being tied up in emacs as sharing and extend…

Not bad. Not sure it'd come close to replacing org-habits for me.

Such a scenario is not so far fetched. Except that it is. This is not a discussion about self-driving cars because they don't work that way and are a long way off potentially worki…
