    Haha oh you're right, was misframing in my head the word countable as meaning finite. I even provide the definition of countable infinity in my counterargument without realising it…

    You are right because you can recursively add clauses. 'Buffalo buffalo...' or 'This was my dad's dad's dad's...' If you think you have a full set you can always add one more

    I meant here, though I think there is also tendency in general As a side note I think the state of current discourse has shown that anything other than concrete language presents t…

    That's kinda the whole point, but noone is framing that situation as the problem. They would rather think that homeless people are innately inferior and thus deserve to suffer, rat…

    Compute shaders from a high-level pipeline perspective. How data moves from CPU and between shaders to accomplish a task.

    Thanks. Yes I was thinking more about the (traditionally) CPU side of graphics or games, things like CPU skinning or skeletal animation. I was wondering mostly about the FFI overhe…

    How much savings do you have? Is it used for rent-seeking behaviour? I think that's the key issue the country is facing. If you have a little padding no-one will be coming for you.…

    it’s more about wealth. You need a functioning welfare state to allow people to take risks

    I see the logic there, though I think there's more to it. Like quality of work, and reward structures for hard work. Carrots work much better than sticks, with much lower risk of s…

    The point is it’s easier to just tax wealth a bit more and let everyone get on the bloody train… It’s mostly people just going to work/school, makes sense to be free
