Huh, this is interesting. Great idea for a project. Is there much out there with similar aims? I absolutely don't know the field well enough to say. I think this could really benef…

It's not that new; nearly 10 years old now I think. Go's adoption was faster

Honestly I find it baffling that a competent adult could find the caps annoying or hard to use

"Big words, phrases and memes"? You got this distressed about an article using industry standard terminology for its target audience and assuming that you'd read (or would read) th…

So the EU is bad because you can't learn to screw on a bottle cap that's different than before?

Real names were absolutely used on Usenet especially in the early days, ditto for mailing lists (and still are for that matter), even though technically they are pseudonymous. In a…

Usenet, BBSs, mailing lists etc. are social media

Right, and which particular "fact" was it? Somehow I doubt it's an actual biological "fact" but rather a conservative "alternative fact", which ignores actual biology

You generally need line-of-sight for microwave links and the longest known link is something like 350km, and even using tropospheric scatter you can't go over ~500km, so you'd need…

> If one would like to interconnect various meshes, I can't think of a way to avoid using the Internet to trunk traffic across the Atlantic let's say. Radio links with a regular 'o…

Google used to have superior translation but that hasn't been the case for years now. Based on my experience DeepL ( https://www.deepl.com/ ) is vastly superior, especially for eve…

How are GA144's nodes / "computers" not real cores? They're fully independent, each has its own memory (RAM and ROM), stacks, and registers, its own I/O ports and GPIO pins (some o…

I think they were more meant to minimize power use than be very performant. Honestly no clue how widely the GA144 is used in real-world applications, but I guess that since the com…

Have you run into Viable https://eclecticlight.co/virtualisation-on-apple-silicon/ or VirtualBuddy https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy ? I think at least Viable has some limi…

That description reminds me of GreenArrays' ( https://www.greenarraychips.com ) Forth chips that have 144 cores – although they call them "computers" because they're more independe…

Maybe if one more painfully unfunny person repeats this tired joke that we see every time lupus is mentioned, it'll finally be funny. Let's find out!

> Every one agrees that the Turner Prize is much more than just a display of virtue signalling by the cultural elite, and I have decided to enter the Valve.Computer for the prize. …

Shit, how do I protect myself from evolving AI-based scams? I'm middle-aged and not in the IT industry anymore, and scams like the Booking.com (I think it was?) one where the scamm…

"It may be slow, but it's hard to use!"

Persisting login cookies if the user didn't explicitly consent to data collection is specifically _not_ exempted by ePrivacy. To quote a EU Working Group's opinion on this: 'Persis…

Interesting! Sounds somewhat like what the Cairo programming language & VM does https://www.cairo-lang.org ; Turing-complete provable computation using a fairly funky "arithmetic" …

"strong healthy black man rescues white woman from a bumbling and pathetic white male." Yeah, that… really doesn't sound as common a theme as you imply

Complaining about strawmen is pretty rich coming from someone who said that the person you're arguing with had the attitude that "the only people who can take credit for any kind o…

My entire point was that "personal data" as defined in Article 4 is any data related to you, not just names, photos and so on

I'm not convinced your interpretation is correct. GDPR Article 4[1] states that "personal data" means "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘da…
