There's also an argument that developers of new software, including libraries, should consider making an earnest attempt to do The Right Thing instead of re-implementing old, flawe…

It's common enough that there's a well-known term for it: workaholic.

Sure, lambda calculus is math. To call assembly or typical imperative C math, at least in the same sense, is a bit of a stretch.

No, the pathology of Parkinson's Disease is dopaminergic dysfunction (the symptoms coming from this happening in the area relevant to planning movements, separate from areas that i…

No, activity and expression are always local. Exclusively. There are no global levers.

One has to be deliberately obtuse to pretend to not see how ridiculous it is to make having a third-party application that shows little icons in the corner of the screen a hard req…

If 1929 was a minor pain, then what's a major pain?

AGI which will lead to ASI is going to happen before 2030, and the US is going to lose because of tariffs. Thinking in terms of decades rather than years will be a fatal mistake.

One can publish their client/frontend pseudonymously, using Tor if necessary. Not like one is gonna profit off it anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Are witness protection programs a form of "censorship?" We all agree the answer is no, I would hope. It follows that you are not affording this topic a proper level of nuance.

Sure. But how do you write that in a way that is expressive, terse, and readable all at once? Nothing beats x | y | z or (-> x y z). The speed of both writing and reading (and comp…
