Can't believe this only got a couple of upvotes!

There is one. Don't destroy the means of error correction. Without that, no further means of moral development can occur. So, that becomes the highest moral imperative. (It's possi…

The reason I dislike the twitter argument is, even if ruby was the root cause, the choice of ruby still launched the business and got them to that first success disaster. The deepe…

I did try ruby-prolog. The deeper issue is that its just not prolog. Writing in actual prolog affords a lot of clarity and concision which would be quite noisy in ruby-prolog. To m…

I've wished for the same kind of 'embed prolog in my ruby' for enumerating all possible cases, all invalid cases, etc in test suites. Interesting to know it's not just me!

I've recently started modeling some of my domains/potential code designs in Prolog. I'm not that advanced. I don't really know Prolog that well. But even just using a couple basic …

One theory I've heard for this, and sorry I don't remember the source, is that Napoleon suspected if he truly did take down the Russian royalty then he expected the rest of Europea…

Regardless of what you might think of Snowden, he has a good quip on this: "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different …

This made me curious. Having never read the gitlab code before, and on mobile, took all of about 30 seconds to find https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/config/ro... …

Suspect 6 minutes being increment has more to do with being 1/10 of an hour (easy to calculate rate) & and as fine-grained as you can get without being so obnoxious you can't track…

If the cost of providing this research is high, who would fund this peer-reviewed research which wouldn't make them any money? For example, who would fund more studies on ginger? h…

I love Kung Fu Panda! It secretly became my favorite movie. Secretly, because it wasn't until years after I'd seen it that I realized how much I liked it compared to... every other…

MMT has seemed to me to be an academic fig leaf over the indirect taxation which occurs when more money is printed. MMT is fundamentally wrong, and everyone smart knows it is, but …

Shoot. I was interested in this track. I'm also not loud on twitter or even aware there was an outcry. Bummer.

Whenever I get in this kind of funk, I notice that the more energy I put into it... the more it grows. What always gets me out of it is to stop focusing on my feelings and start fo…

I'm personally attracted to this investment not because of squeeze potential but because I believe they're going to corner the online used games market & open up new business model…

I can't directly speak for the autonomous groups of people in loose orbit around https://old.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/ who can be labelled the apes (I know for sure there are other …

There's a complex of people in Washington dedicated to defending the mechanisms which allow for the siphoning like FTD's (failure-to-deliver's), asset lending with no return dates,…

This could be interesting. Value is assigned by people, so the fact the credentials for a given work reside somewhere else with 'less legitimacy' would mean yes - you could copy it…

Actually a metaphor just came to mind. Imagine you've been playing on a 60hz refresh rate monitor forever. Then, you play your favorite fps on a 120hz refresh rate monitor. That's …

I hopped in my Tesla for the first time and after a single stop sign where I stopped kind of weird (not honestly that bad), that was it. The Tesla person on the initial lesson assu…

Particularly like the section on "why not invert?" > In light mode, darker colors often communicate distance. Knew this but hadn't consciously realized it.

This should be much further up than where I found it!
