I'm confused, how does "serverless" play into this? I opened this expecting something about p2p architecture

Last I tried there were a couple of issues with autoindentation with the fsharp plugin for emacs, but they're well aware of the issue and have been working on it last I checked.

I don't see why you dragged minimum wage into this? The above poster is correct. Employee productivity has increased immensely the past 40 years, while wages have remained practica…

I mean that's only if you have some over arching entity that does all of the planning that commands from the top down. Some people argue for planning at a regional level and cooper…

Wow, it really is a small world, I can't believe you replied to my comment. You're one of the only aliases I still recognize from those days as I was about 12 at the time. SCAR and…

Definitely have to agree with you. I do believe it possible to have a functional capitalist society, however it will always devolve into something like the present day as groups na…

Note: I'm not an advocate of central planning. However, I do believe that technology could make it viable. Our purchases in markets are used as inputs to companies so they can plan…

Income inequality is just the symptom, capitalism is at the heart of the problem. This is what happens when you get a saturated labor market and employers have all of the bargainin…

Reminded me of the SCAR tool many of us used to use back in the day for botting on Runescape. Will have to look into this for QA automation, as Selenium isn't always too fun when y…

Great empty platitude there. Socialism is about economic democracy and worker self management + ownership, although the term has become increasingly nebulous in recent years. Class…

Agreed. It does not address the high concentrations of wealth which allow a small minorty of people to be in direct control of the majority of our resources and economic activity.

Fair enough, I'm definitely with you on the point of people not giving themselves enough credit. Unfortunately society tends to beat independent thinking out of us, and where I gre…

"I did it, so anyone else can"

Do you have sources on this? Because from what I've learned in my cognitive psychology / neuroscience classes and talks, the brain works very much like a processing machine. Incred…

I'm probably getting this wrong since I haven't looked into it, but I think they're talking about the idea of an infinite number of universes that contain the totality of all that …

I wonder if a software shop structured as a co-operative would be good for this. Let the employees themselves control the workplace and set it up as they see fit. I know I'd person…

Because they're an ancap. From what I've gathered they seem to believe markets should essentially determine everything

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you explain?

I don't think it's so much goal post moving as a lot of us never claimed it buys elections. My assertion has always been that generally speaking if you want to be competitive polit…

Are you sure it wasn't a mental issue? How were you measuring fat? 5'9 and 148lb isn't close to being overweight. I'm just under 140lb at 5'9 and I'm quite thin. It looks like I ha…

I imagine this would be a non-starter for a lot of people, it definitely is for me

This could very well be it. I was about to comment that I've been using OS X for about 10 years and I'm pretty sure I can count the number of kernel panics I've had on my fingers. …

I haven't extended my use of org-mode outside of simple outlines for taking notes and todos, but for that it's been wonderful. Something always irked me about Microsoft Word, it di…

Thanks for clarifying, this makes a lot of sense.

Reviewing the common nature of the disagreement in replies is also a good way to practice presenting unpopular opinions. There's a lot of pitfalls I've learned to avoid when being …
