Had to disable IPFS companion for the site because /ipns/davidar.io doesn't resolve (anymore?). It's nice the initial integration was there, though!

The free sample of https://leanpub.com/algebra-driven-design is a much more practical and fulfilling read, compared to the vagueness of the linked promotional material.

> I think the only possible jobs would be some kind of backend-only dev or devops/sysadmin work. I thought that as well, so I became a sysadmin instead of a developer after graduat…

I'm using US-intl (international) right now, supported everywhere I've seen. AltGr+q is ä, AltGr+s is ß, AltGr+y is ü, etc. Might seem weird at first, but it has most of the specia…

I've read both a lot of Less Wrong (and the R:AZ book) and Soviet dialectical materialism (Marx and Lenin), and I've found a surprisingly large amount of overlap in the philosophic…

Same for me, learned Haskell a year ago. I have to note that your options only feel more limited if you refuse to look back and acknowledge the "wrong" ways. Your job options were …

Fully switched to Linux 16 years ago as a schoolkid, now I have a Linux admin job. NixOS is my current most favorite, I'm using it for the last 4 years on my main box at home and m…

10/10, would eat the universe and turn myself into paperclips again.

Nah, 4channers are more numerous and/or have more time on their hands. Edit: besides, we are to collab, not compete.

35 already. 4chan is brilliant and horrifying.

And here I thought that maybe it had to do with bits and powers of 2 (0 and 1 being among them)

For "Roman XV" I've entered "Arabic 15" and got rejected. "15" was accepted, though. Manual password guessing is not much fun - reminds me of school too much.

Online calculator for password strength, what a great idea! I've got to offer one on my website (gimme all your passwords, mwahahaha!)

The Age of Decadence is a great example, if you're on a lookout for such games. It's a non-linear RPG that lets you play a lone, vulnerable person in a brutal, unforgiving world wi…

I suppose if the air is compressed by the bottles, the inlet is on the outer side of the cardboard membrane and discharge is on the inner side. Excessive heat is then released into…

I wonder about America's utility function. "The hunger problem" is clearly someone else's problem, but what would be America's problem? Something about competing with other countri…

Apologies for nitpicking, but I find it rather important: Websockets are not tunneled over HTTP, they are only negotiated over HTTP. Once you are connected, there is no overhead of…

It's Schwifty time today!

I'd say a truly intelligent system doesn't need Lojban, it can learn about the world and its languages from observations and feedback, like children do. A pseudointelligent system,…

Good, the video shows Feynman talking about fire and not Feynman burning. I was a bit worried there.
