Not as strange an idea as you would think. In fact the ARM instruction set has a instruction for "Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point, rounding toward Zero" FJCVTZS.[0] Considering the ubiquity of JS I expect m

And I’m not defending people who do that. But this also kind of proves the point of the article that we are quick to stereotype folks who do astrology, when it’s likely a very diverse thinking group. I know a few friends into it and for the

I'm sorry but that is likely never going to happen. iOS is a custom version of OS X, which is a fork of FreeBSD. That C is likely never going to be completely replaced. I love Swift, it's a great language, but we shouldn't re

This author is asserting 5 years of lockdown but gives no reasons why specifically 5 years. They talk about the possibility of no vaccine working and herd immunity not working if the immune window is too small, etc. But how does that equate

Nonpaywall link? I checked Google Cache and it's still paywalled. Impossible to have an informed opinion without reading the article. As "saving from capitalism" can mean so many different things.

“Because it’s the law” is not a moral argument, it’s an excuse. All manner of immoral deeds can be justified by legal means. In the words of MLK: “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”. You could argue that the law is just

Not doing something because "you'll be dead before it happens" is pure selfishness. My personal observations from those close to me who don't want to act on climate change seem that their reasons have changed within the

Sorry I did mean cohesion, not coercion. I'm happy that my context mainly made that obvious, but that is quite the typo. (It's too late for me to change it in the original comment.)
