It's not reflexive to critisize US foreign meddling. It IS reflective because it requires considerable consideration to puncture the fabric of US internal propaganda and reach thes…

So i guess that means any university with a religous foundation is not a university? Last i checked there are quite a few christian universities. Also common schooling in christian…

I think it is a good idea considering the temporal frame of reference. Payback on projects like these take decades. Furthermore the objectives of whichever local official with any …

I know this is kind of out in left field, but some people also mentioned query result history. I've been using phind since it was in beta as sayhello and encountered similar a faux…

the -s command lists metadata, but from my explorations with the bytecode using ruby std tools and grep I've found there is likely a lot more than is shown from this command. How m…

Gattaca is a good movie. I can't wait to read this. I'd also suggest William Gibson (of neuromancer fame)'s Alien script. Lots of good suggestions in this thread. Dark City's aesth…

I'll still be in Sao Paulo over the next few days.

Nature ecologies are so full of examples of mutual aid across all types of life that we are still discovering new relationships everyday. I'd like to see an updated collation of al…

Collectively held norms and expectations are commonplace across cultures, otherwise how would we effectively cooperate? They are kinda like protocols. There are many ways to raise …

The discussion is in the chat history of the ruby channel in matrix chat. (lol) Alas, logs aren't easily accessible in the element android app (which is what i've got).

most of the posts here are criticisms of the OPs efforts. they seem misplaced. Ruby lacks accessible, consistent, example-based explorations that cover the breadth of the language …

X-post from lainchan /lit/ : "english is my native language. At 23 I moved to Brazil and started teaching english a fews years in. Today, after 13 years, I am considerably more exp…

I spent around a decade as a dedicated professional in the area of second-language acquisition of adults. I haven't read through this in its entirety yet (I'm cooking dinner). I'll…

Page volume in scientific reporting is not at all an indicator of quality or validity. Disclaimer: I haven't read the report yet. Just sayin'

I agree. Establishing communication and seeking understanding them are nice approaches. I like what his guy has started doing recently in his parent's basement https://fungimancy.n…

I havent managed to get my hands on the sequel =(

Gobekli Tepi is a megalithic archeological site from (going on memory) 11,900 years ago. Are you aware of when the last ice age occurred? The level of sophisticated engineering cap…

There is so much to love about this book. I read it twice, back to back. It's probably one of the more concept-dense books you'll read from the period, but unlike lots of scifi lit…

It'd be neat to build a device that can interface with the electrochemical signal layer of mycellium networks in an attempt to understand the nature of their awareness, if it can b…

The technical word for this is chelation / chelating. I've seen it used with respect to iron, lead, mercury and cadmium. When a substance can render one inert it generally does wit…
