Rationalism doesn't involve doing math, but _role-playing_ like you're doing math. There's lots of talk about updating priors and bayes; but in practice a lot of stuff isn't that q…

See this is why I once used moon-viewing-ceremony-seperated-values (MVCSV). The Moon Viewing Ceremony emoji was unlikely to show up in my dataset, and not only is the emoji visible…

Bugs: #1 if you spam the "add a new source" button you eventually get a JavaScript exception logged to the screen due to an array with a fixed max size of 128 elements overflowing.…

Steam has supported native Linux games for a decade.

He's using the word as meaning "insert", not the JS function. He is saying he inserted a new row into a database to get admin access to a dashboard. 'splice" means to join two thin…
