> Thanks to capitalism, I don't have to toil in the fields. No, that's thanks to commerce not to capitalism. Capitalism benefits those those who hold capital, which is not me. The fact that there are more than enough resource

That's because your question is silly. I'll spell it out for you: Just because all modern states are capitalist does not mean that all states must be capitalist, as evidenced by the many erstwhile states that were not capitalist

This quote has nothing to do with capitalism. Please note that "commerce" and "capitalism" are not synonymous, and that the former does not imply the latter. Capitalism is in no way a prerequisite for technological devel

Why do you think "oldest untouched file" is a good metric for relevance? Do you know what is the oldest untouched file in gcc or Python?

TESCREAL and similar boogeyman is just an ideology tying together the current batch of anti-democratic billionaires. Without the money, TESCREAL wouldn't be a problem. But it is a problem.

I would like a standardized API for local AI to exist outside of the Apple ecosystem. The Prompt API is Chrome is halfway there. * What is the answer to local AI for native apps on Windows? * What is the answer to local AI for Linux? This i

You can't take the Japanese criminal justice system out of Japan. It's part of a larger whole. The Western mentality, especially in the USA, focuses on independent will. The government is not supposed to stop people from making ch

Society can be optimized for the law-abiding without being needlessly cruel. Jail's job is to keep you around during your legal process. You're not supposed to enjoy jail but it's not supposed to be torture, either. Torture d

How reductionist and a straw man as well. No one here asked for a "detailed report." They asked you to name one (1) feature of an application that you claim to have intimate knowledge of; the original question was "What compo

Everything you say is true, and yet it's clear you've never used Canvas. Canvas is decidedly, not fast, fails to display even trivial files (such as source code) as well as more complex files that should just be handled by the b

"Look at the code" is not a reasonable response to "Is this app CRUD or not?" You've already been asked to provide specifics about which componenent(s) of Canvas are allegedly non-CRUD, and simply repeating your cla

I think you are confusing the reality of Canvas with a different, theoretical learning management system. In reality, Canvas does not have workflow and does not prevent race conditions in grading. I can certainly imagine an LMS that does

by hackyhacky 4mo ago
I've been using Canvas for years and it's some of the worst written software I've ever used. It's slow, buggy, with an atrocious 2001-era UI. It's a CRUD app that has no excuse for being so cumbersome. I'm not

I think you missed my sarcasm. Sorry if I was being too subtle. My intent was to point out that "just a browser" is a meaningless phrase as the functionality of browsers changes.

The sibling comment proposed a possible scoring mechanism which might result in enjoyable gameplay, but I think the bigger point (for me, at least) is the Mind Chess represents a reducto ad absurdum of the strategy game genre. It eschews
