That is definitely not what "Socialists" want. I apologise on behalf of any Socialist that gave you that impression.

If he did it on purpose, he's a supervillain, if he did it due to negligence, he's a hypocrite. No need to split hairs.

Pray tell, which part is it that you find fault with?

You could say that to GP who just dismissed a published study without actually taking on any of the claims made therein.

Is this bait? Of course it's just about profit... the point is that he should be aware of its environmental impact and the hypocrisy of his investment therein.

How is it the fault of an ideology that decentralised solutions are required? Is there something inherent in Socialist ideology that you can point me to?

No I took you to mean "country" as I'm also not American, I just don't understand how you expect governments to foresee and restrict every possible new technology that affects energy consumption to such a large degree. I

There is a subtheme about crypto, in that he kind of argues it isn't really useful enough as a financial instrument to warrant the ecological cost (my words, not his). That's an opinion - one I tend to share - so feel free to disa

Why is that a failure of the state? Which state?

The article has a strong focus on the environmental impact, but a subtheme exists questioning the real value in cryptocurrencies at all. The author addresses the existence of Po[X]: """ I’m sure you’re seeing the problem here

No they certainly need solving, that is, if we are able to justify them causing any environmental impact at all. If can start on the agreement that we need to curb our environmental impact, then any new technology we embrace surely needs to

I understand, believe me, I do, I guess I just brought it up as a warning not to do what every new vegetarian (including myself) has done: Use moral arguments to try to convince people that being a vegetarian is a more ethical choice. I thi

I'll skip right over the conversation about how the world is run. I read some of the article you sent (it's quite long), and let's just say that so far I'm not convinced. > I don't believe mobile games are any w

I'm aware Godot doesn't actually use ECS, it doesn't make your joke any more coherent though. If you want to go down the route that everything is subjective, we're not going to be very productive here. The mention of &qu

Sorry, one can read "just that" in two ways there, "it at all" or "only". To carry on with your intended meaning, what is the problem if the technical documentation is more than just technical documentation? We

Not sure why you're being down-voted, you're spot on. Hope one of the down voters will come and explain.

That is such a huge stretch, wow.

The weirdest thing for me here, is that most of the noise against the piece seems to have been made on twitter by people who probably identify as "leftists", solely because it punches down on some demographic. I'm still tryin

No, it doesn't "stop being that". You're going to have to provide some sort of justification for that statement.

And he's not arguing whether the joke is funny, he's saying the joke is relevant. The content of your joke isn't as relevant (which also makes it less funny). You used an anti-science sentiment and threw in ECS to try to make

Why are you making normative claims about technical documentation? That seems to me more preposterous than anything written in the mentioned piece.

I'm not trying to criticise you here at all, but since you don't eat meat mainly to reduce animal suffering, why are you okay with dairy? The dairy industry arguably abuses and mistreats animals far worse than the meat industry.

The dairy industry is arguably worse with regard to animal abuse and mistreatment than the meat industry.

I've been really enjoying SpreeCommerce (based on Rails). You can get away with very little coding if you're happy with the current feature set (which really covers all the basics and then some) and your Payment Gateway of choice

Although I understand what we're trying to achieve here is easier code navigation and manipulation on a much broader scale with preferably a single tool, I couldn't shake the feeling that some of the examples you gave have existin
