Like I told the other moron, I was homeless, on my own early, and an alcoholic. You're making excuses for people that aren't proactive. I'm not disparaging the poor, I was poor for…

I'm speaking from three years of homelessness after being independent and nearly homeless at 17 and recovering from several years of alcohol abuse. Don't assume, because it only co…

You're absolutely right, but in the scientific autismverse, this is a very hot topic, and there are often flame wars and arguments. This is the equivalent of a psychologist using t…

You know what? Honestly? A person who has made that 3-job and 8-kid decision in their life has deliberately compromised their own health. It's not the fault of the world that they …

I didn't diagnose anything. Don't take my personal opinion and make it accountable to a professional one. I'm not a doctor. But before doing finance I used to do some basic tutorin…

That's not practical, the high sea can be incredibly dangerous, even with modern nautical technology. Most tech out there is informational, there's very little you can actually do …

I have one of those """smart" "" keyboards on my phone It even fucked that up

Guix uses it extensively. I'm away from a computer now but I'm sure there are some gifted minds working on it. Andy Wingo, others. And anyways, isn't that the case with most softwa…

It was time ten years ago. Autism is one of the most complex moving-parts mental disorders that I know of. I'm speaking about kids mainly, because that's what I'm familiar with, bu…

R7RS large is underway now! CL also has unhygienic macros, non-lispy loop grossness, lots of cruft, lots of poorly named functions that are named two different ways in two differen…

Gosh, I want to spend some time with rust and ggez, and then some guy shows me this awesome haxe engine! I hadnt seen this! That's a pretty high-powered kit though, it's got consol…

But you knew what I meant. In hindsight I should've clarified that my opinion originates from a layman. I am not a doctor or psychiatrist or anything of the sort. Thanks for the co…

I don't understand what you're asking. Python is completely unlike scheme. The type situation irks me because I do ocaml for a living, so I rely on the type system a lot. Scheme re…

I love that GNU loves Guile. There are few Scheme implementations as well polished as guile is, and what a breath of fresh air it can be to sit down to some '() stew after a few ro…

I hope rust community gets more interested in openfl. There's some good libraries already, opengl support, vulkan, there's ggez which mimics the LOVE api, but OpenFL is a fully equ…

Most of these patients are likely exhibiting some spectrum of antisocial behavior, which means staying indoors or generally away from other people. I don't think it's as interestin…

No, but CERN Is known to be careful with their PR. Presumably, and this is just my intuition speaking, a big enough cluster of computers would solve this, but they're taking an opp…

Isn't that what a line of credit is? Or a debit card? It's got a history of spending, it's very hard to double spend, and its completely traceable? Sometimes I think fed has learne…

Maybe not as an individual, but as a society or as a species, there are few absolutes for us to pursue. History and Math are the only absolutes we really have. What I'm meaning to …

Thanks for these! Proton is interesting, I think the space has a lot of potential. I'm concerned that someday html might be the standard for gui system markups, that could go wrong…

So what electron developers appreciate is an easily accessible markup+canvas? Text editors are a great example, they're very difficult to get right. I wonder why more desktop GUI p…

I understand your frustration, but in a world with a dozen different languages to choose from for cross platform native desktop apps, there's very rarely a case to be made for elec…

I found it online, looks fascinating! Thanks so much! That's the best kind of book to read, the kind someone wrote after reading a bunch of other books.

The language in GEB can be a bit much, but I find it to be a consistently effective took for opening someone's eyes to the vast universe of computer science. There should be a GEB …

There's a headline from ten years ago...
