Fun fact: People born in 2004 are all turning 18 this year :) And still, 2004 feels "a few years ago" to me. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it.

Human learning itself is a little like copying the work of hundreds of other artists at once.

This is so awesome :)

That's a hard question, like any other question concerning human freedom. I suppose a good rule of thumb is "if you're not forced to subject yourself to it, you don't get a say in …

> Yes. That's were we disagree. I believe there are some human freedoms that nobody has the right to deny. I suppose I'm just an idealist. > The current form of government in the U…

I think the point of that statement was that we should assume the worst case, for the sake of making code easier to deal with for everyone. If the code is easy to deal with for the…

Personally, I love 60fps+ videos. They just seem more "realistic" to me, as if the person moving on the screen was right in front of me. Ordinary 24fps is okay, but there's a certa…

Would you care to elaborate? I always thought npm was open-source-centric. If npm somehow ran opaque binaries, I'd really like to know about that.

> Life is hard. Individuals consistently fail to act with everyone’s best interests in mind. Yes, but Christianity gives people the excuse not to question their core beliefs - they…

This seems like a good tool to turn <60fps videos into 60fps videos.

Please go full Richard Stallman. Control of computing is an all-or-nothing business - even a single compromised component can lead to compromise of the complete system. Don't trust…

Linux also used to be a "hobby" OS. Now it powers the internet. Things change.

I'm not saying they can't try, and succeed for a while. But eventually, we will always break free. Pixel exists (but apparently doesn't count because it's not perfect yet). Librem …

> how can I ensure my economic status will not be affected? You cannot. It sucks, but it's inevitable. The same thing has been happening ever since the industrial revolution. Old s…

Technology gatekeeping is completely antithetical to the hacker spirit. Hackers built all this technology. There's no way a handful of megacorps are going to take it all for themse…

You can say that about any kind of life philosophy. However, children are born as life-loving creatures. It seems reasonable that it's easier to keep them that way while teaching t…

Regulation is like violence. If it isn't working, you aren't using enough of it!

Functional programming languages often work that way. E.g., in Erlang, if you've already bound a variable X to a value, and want to compute another value of X, you cannot use the s…

Regret serves a purpose - it makes things memorable and makes them affect your decision-making. If you regret wasting time on pointless things, hold onto that regret and use it as …

I figure it's easier when your main goal is raising your child as a life-loving person, instead of a good Catholic.
