i _adore_ matrix! keep up the good work!

best not talk about the price of medicine in USD; people might lose their lives

i’d say that multiprocessing probably covers 90% of “do it in the background” tasks, and asyncio covers 90% of async networking tasks futures, uvloop, tornado, twisted, coros, geve…

a core dump of the brain is pretty damn big... so that’s not really saying much; just that maybe we don’t have a man data to restore from

and i hate that they removed it in the latest generation! i know you can do the hold down on space instead, and i know that you can then tap with a second finger, but there’s so mu…

i’d argue that it’s not “designed to fit our workflow” so much as designed around a subpar, but flexible tool that everyone was using. that don’t make it good; that just makes it i…

who ever said free? they could make a paid service like LE with automated renewals etc that integrates better with enterprise software, or that does better audit logging, or any nu…

advertising yes, but also why they are kind of lax on piracy: the real money is in corporate, so you have to keep people using your ecosystem at home so that’s what they want to us…

i don’t think people were labelling him a nazi; i think they had issue with their own projects, or their name being accidentally associated with nazis

the very point of esperanto is that nothing is of “similar difficulty”, so even comparing to spanish is disingenuous

they did call out scooters and drones, so id guess you’re right

true, and that’s definitely a problem, but government is a bigger issue because they have the ability to force a population: corporations can only influence (we can have a differen…

i tend to agree with the sentiment, however i’d say the important distinction is that a government has the ability to force things on people, a corporation only had the ability to …

because the data on the phone is containing or designed to contain data for use by a phone because a phone isn’t a computer...?

upsetting, yet expected

maybe in america, but in australia we have a huge amount more UV because of the hole in the ozone layer. i was in the US for the first time a few weeks ago, and the first thing i n…

for some people it isn’t, but i think he’s referring to the fact that food is pretty damn far toward the base of maslows hierarchy. many people (myself included) believe that a mea…

then get a new doctor. there is no medical rationale behind this, and they are letting irrational personal feelings get in the way of your good health

there is no other behaviour that you’d want for that situation though... garbage collection is necessary, and if your cryptographically pinned content is deleted, you want somethin…

all concepts you mention aren’t conceptual problems. the world is better with the concepts of technology-assisted taxi hailing, and not having to carry cash (i think you’re basical…

from what i understand (and i could be wrong), you could make biofuels using atmospheric co2, alguae, heat from the grid during low demand... when you burn it, it releases that co2…
