    I'm currently looking for somewhere to park some forwarded addresses since gandi decided to start making money. I don't see any mention of address forwarding on the website, is thi…

    imagine... TTD applied to laws. Or take it a step further, write a test suite and automatically generate a range of possible laws that satisfy the tests.

    This thread is like group therapy. On my current device I'd estimate ~100 chrome tabs open over 10 desktops. I try to keep them organized at least.

    I wonder if it's a violation of Google's ToS to use their services to commit war crimes?

    Reminds me of when it seemed like a reasonable thing to do to host a website on the world wide web from my home network. The web was always decentralised, but various motivations a…

    Humanity as a whole is qualitatively different than anything else I can think of. I think this is obvious. But how different are humans? If you take a homo sapien in isolation and …

    I built something like this once for defining form validation rules. It was fun. I was very proud of it. I'd probably just use JSONSchema now though.
