Tangential question but hoping someone knows how to do this : Is there a setting in Firefox that allows me to invert colors without a plugin or javascript? The default Black on white is too painful for eyes.

I get what you're saying but I wouldn't discount all other forms of knowledge besides science. For example, mathematics is not mystical. Philosophy is also well argued. And secondly, not everything might be definable with data. Fo

Can I ask a really basic question? I understand that transistors amplify current but how do they amplify voltage (like in CMOS)? Isn't voltage going to amplify current also? I never understood this.

Yeah dude, I think so too. Some of the ideas I liked though we're about prescription, and then him saying it's all about destination. And trying to look beyond words and towards an understanding. And I agree, most of it can be sum

Is there a cloud provider that doesn't require a credit card for free tier?

I see. My only contention would be that abuse is stopped but use is also equally degraded (due to randomness). But I see what you're saying. Some combination of voting and randomness might br worth it. Also, another thing is maybe some

That plugin is for desktop browser. My biggest distraction is the phone actually. And firefox for phone doesn't support it yet. Somebody should really port it. Grease monkey also doesn't work on mobile browsers. What a great idea.

I didn't mean celebrity but more like knowledgeable people. A random system, just like random election, does not guarantee best or betterness in any form. It's not important however, because I agree it's unlikely and I do see

Could you share the plugin?

Let me chime in on the voting issue (or I think what you mean is mob voting issue?) Imagine a discussion on Linux and Torvalds comments on it. But due to randomisation, it doesn't get enough traction. Note that this problem will become

Well, no matter how fast a single server is, it can't keep getting faster. You might shoot yourself in the foot by optimizing only for single servers because eventually you'll need horizontal scaling and it's better to think

+1 I realized this one day when I was drawing some nice sequence diagrams and presenting it to a senior and he said "But who's ensuring the sequence?". You'll never ask this question in a single threaded system. Having s

Sounds like you're saying "Don't do distributed work" if possible (considering tradeoffs of course, but I guess people just don't even consider this option is your contention). And secondly, if you do end up with q

Correct. That doesn't make monolithic systems "not distributed". Secondly, I don't know why you say "distributed systems are an active area of research" and use this as some sort of retort. If I say "Is a

Monoliths are also distributed systems and will run on multiple hosts, most probably co-ordinating on some sort of state (and that state management will need to take care of concurrency, consistency). Some hosts will go down. Service traffi

I mean, you can always deploy your microsevices on the same host, it would just be a service mesh. Adding network is not a limitation. And frankly, I don't understand why you say things like understanding network. Like reliability is t

I know we should not judge person and only ideas but it seems like all of Pinker's ideas are tok shallow for an academic. For example, Also, Pinker wrote a book on how the mind works, which is very very wrong (my wife, who's a psy

Exactly. So let's not exaggerate the role of learned helplessness in Google's monopoly.

Hmm. Don't like your planet? Terraform a new planet. Don't like End of Universe? Create your own big bang. What do you mean it's impossible? Stop this learned helplessness.
