Hi @dang, Sorry to hijack this thread with a completely off-topic issue, but I have no idea where else to reach about this. I did a submission yesterday showcasing the work of some of my colleagues at UofT, it's satire but it is backed

Yeah wonder why that is... There is a serious group of University of Toronto researchers behind this project. I thought it was pretty cool! Edit: Genuinely wondering why, I thought it was a good opportunity to talk about some of the less ad

Yeah was going to change that part too for something like "Writing code like this is verbose and spans too many lines", but then I just thought it'd be better if it sounded more like the parent comment. And I understand it do

I do not understand the appeal of non-LISPy languages. I get that most people are used to reading it and that they are efficent, but I believe the developer (of the compiler in this case) should serve the convenience of the user, not the ot

You need to educate yourself some more my friend. You could start with the latest IPCC report's summary. Green cover won't tell you much about loss of insects, marine wildlife, microorganism in the soil, etc... Also I'd be in

Ok, then we don't have the same definition of de-growth. China is very much growth oriented, although in a different way than the collective West. 2. I think that has more to do with eugenics than degrowth, degrowth is asking how many

Who talked about sacrifice? De-growth is not about sacrifice, it's about changing the perspective on what is considered "good" and "desirable". I don't know why people are always so scared of de-growth, what yo

The "solution" you're showcasing only addresses global warming, not climate change, nor any of the other facets of the environmental crisis (e.g. biodiversity collapse, ocean acidification, soil depletion, fresh water polluti

Both of you basically said the same thing to me, our seeking of unbriddled progress is like a moth to a flame, we think it's our guide but it'll just burn us if we don't think properly/rationally about it. Our single mos

Awesome project! I've been on the lookout for such projects ever since discovering uxn, I'll definitely have a look and keep an eye on uvm. >The creator of UXN is a friend of mine and we chat semi-regularly about our VMs. Does

I've used it as my "main driver" for around 6 months last year and I can assure you it's definitely practical, you can also easily interact with the other OSes with ssh and vnc, that way I could even do some remote video
