A sizable portion of the audience here considers selling ads morally reprehensible in itself. This, on the other hand: >The guy is monetizing a certain base. Probably doing pretty …

I'm not trying to redefine rationality. I'm referring to [Rationalism]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalism ), a system of values which is fundamental to the modern Western w…

>a more intelligent person is inherently superior I also disagree with this statement. >a "more intelligent" person is defined as "having more consciousness" which, in a system tha…

> It's not a moral judgment or a be-all-and-end-all of a person's value. But it is, even though it actually means nothing at all. Let me try and explain. Our society prides itself …

>My holy grail-- how do I use DOM methods to create a CDATA element to shove my style into? If I could know this then I can jump my Dodge Charger back and forth into XHTML without …

Most likely a project manager.

I see your point. The short answer is that it would quickly become uneconomical to hand people $10 notes IRL. Subjectively, I would consider a single interaction that merits a $10 …

On the contrary, my criterion for distinguishing between organic and artificial interactions is exceedingly simple: you either got paid for the interaction, or you didn't. This dis…

Agreed. Interesting nonetheless. I keep waiting for someone to make one of these with BPM sync and the capability to jump to pre-set cue points in response to MIDI or OSC control m…

Dhall looks lovely. Just enough programmability to avoid repetition, but not Turing complete so it can't evolve all the way to reading mail. Or at least, that's the promise - it's …

Pure alarmism. "Help keep X free of charge" is just an apology for the existing business model; incidentally, that's the same business model that keeps clickbait commentators like …

Now this is a use-case for blockchain. Kinda like the USA has legalized some forms of corruption as "lobbying". Put all likes (and dislikes!) on a public append-only ledger, and al…

Agree with your general sentiment, however your wording invites one to play devil's advocate. >Have loyalty for individuals, and sometimes even teams, but never ever ever ever feel…

If the author of this site happens to be reading this - can you please add the URL in my bio to your list of sketchy .org sites?

The converse is also true: students are relatively less fettered by today's "best practices", less constrained by non-academical pursuits, and thus would be more capable of dreamin…

Reading some of the comments here, it feels like one needs to lay out a lot of context before being able to describe their Nix experience. (Is that Conway's law in reverse, or just…

So does that mean I can just hack together my own derivations in, say, Python, and bypass the whole nix-shell vs. nix-env, overlays vs overrides, home-manager, flakes, etc. menager…

This person isn't doing anything wrong. He's appealing to what he perceives as universal principles to attract attention to a technical matter of importance to him. Yes, he's being…

Can't upgrade Deno from 1.3.3 to 1.8.3 by updating the sources and hashes in the derivation, as is normal procedure. `fetchFromGitHub` and friends fail to recursively fetch commits…

But self-host only, unless there's also a free remark42-as-a-Service?

@amelius: there's a bunch of RPi-based laptops, but at those price points you might as well go with a T60. https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/the-best-raspberry-pi... A 7" disp…

> Let's say you want to use xmonad on top of Plasma. NixOS doesn't have any simple way to configure that. You have the mutually exclusive options for one or the other, basically. I…
