Multiocular O (ꙮ) is a unique glyph variant found in a single 15th-century manuscript (thereby a hapax legomenon), in the Old Church Slavonic phrase серафими многоꙮчитїи (abbreviat…

Robert Sopolsky's Behavioral Biology at Stanford https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL848F2368C90DDC3D Absolutely brilliant and engaging explanations of some difficult to unders…

If the law is nonsense then breaking the law is a very good use case.

Would help to have an easy toggle between the different ones.

What engineers mean by debt toughly falls into two buckets. The first is actual debt, coding done on borrowed time, either consciously or unconsciously. The second is when a lack o…

True, but why do people think they need validation to collaborate?

At the end of the day, it's either proof of work or proof of force. You can't have a good society build on force, implicit or explicit. In a perfect world we could go with proof of…

All this causes is a massive amount of busywork just to have a shot at maintaining the value of your previous work. This is not necessary for a good economy, not to mention all the…

Don't want to sound mean or anything, but you should read more in depth on these "nation" states before taking that position.

To me it seems like we haven't reinvented the same thing, but semi-adapted an existing process of communication to the technology available. It's almost like emoji's are the next s…

With companies like that, at the end of the day they only really answer to shareholders so every problem is a nail.

Some quick advice, move from FOMO (fear of missing out) to JOMO (joy of missing out).

Seems like it's a crypto secret society.

Not exactly, it's a service with unpredictable output. This isn't like a knife where you know what will happen depending on how you use it.

CDPR doesn't iterate and test their code in the optimal way. Most of the time they just go at it full on and patch things up at the end. This was (un)fortunately for them a project…

That's because everyone fell for the systems fallacy. Blockchain was designed for bitcoin to function, for that purpose alone. Then because it worked for that one use case of a dec…

Depends on what you mean by bad. And which era of Soviet architecture. The block flats look like prisons and feel like the budget ran out 1/3 of the way building them. The early st…

Full transparency of how the system classifies a given person, person is fully annonymous and it's based on reputation alone. Then let ME decide the parameters of what I want to se…

Sigh, so how much money do they want?

https://web.archive.org/web/20201109014700/https://www.chron... Recommend to quickly switch to reader view since after a while, even on wayback, it puts up a popup.

The way I see it it's like building a house or buying one. People should do what they want. I'd like more of us to build our houses, but to each his own.

I think the proliferation of it made people aware and learn quickly to proceed with caution on many fronts.

Can anyone offer a mirror?

Fine, but at least make it consistent then. GitHub uses "main" and now this uses "primary", next someone will use "base" and I'm not sure at all how this is better in any way.
