Good to know there's a definite measure for that. I for one liked it.

I sometimes wonder if there's an evolutionary purpose to our conscious self not being able to control some subconscious and physical processes.

Fortunately, they'll never happen. How are you supposed to get your connecting regional train if it doesn't stop at the same station? And it's often a huge advantage of rail that your journey starts and ends near the city cen

Probably true, but I suppose it's some sort of cognitive bias rather than a conscious thought out of greed or similar motives.

I once wrote a brainfuck interpreter in Haskell which executes even incomplete programs as far as possible. It was really easy thanks to streaming ByteStrings and lazyness in general.

I'm somehow afraid of a world in which huge amounts of energy can be wasted without having a bad conscience. Probably it would lead to some new problems.

Would a transparent HTTPS proxy be able to intercept traffic (once you install the certificate on the phone), or are the certificates pinned?

How are rootkits possible in Fuchsia? IIUC, drivers run in user space, don't they?

FWIW Celsius and Kelvin have the same scale, they're just shifted.

What if the world is just a dream? Then an individual person's consciousness has a massive influence on the weather. And there would be new arguments for the existence of God.

- Is the lamp still on while blinking? - Is the sun still shining during a nap? - Is the fridge's light still on while it's closed? - Does God exist? Some fundamental questions, but we'll never be able to find an answer.

All formulas and statements are expressed in first-order logic. It has no such phrase as "pick". But picking (in the axiom of choice) means: Finding a function that maps every set to an element of this set. What is a function: It&

Merkel grew up in a country where you could be "banned" for anything. I'm not surprised that she doesn't like the idea of private companies deciding according to their own (not democraticly chosen) rules who should speak

Bad handwriting causes data loss since 5000 years probably. Whether it's an AI or a human reading it, handwriting is sometimes impossible to decipher. To avoid data loss, don't use handwriting or write very neat.

I'm living in Europe, and the situation seems better over here. While going by car is cheaper and faster in most cases, train is not much worse. At least Biden seems to be a supporter of the railway. But it could go faster if you'

We were never talking about costs, we were talking about how visionary Elon Musk is. However, while it's great if money is saved, again: is it really the achievement of Elon Musk, or would any private company be able to hold down costs

Those rockets impress me, but Elon Musk did not construct them. The NASA (and also the soviet union) managed to do equally great things without someone like him in past. > Tesla cars -- truly helping humanity move from fossil fuels It wo

I'm always very sceptical when electronics and chips are used as a solution to problems that nobody had. Reliability seems to suffer most of all. When I hear from my parents how long their products lasted back then ...

It's obvious, but no one seems to notice it: These are not two lists. The list of dreaded programming languages is the list of loved languages reversed. Since the list has only 25 items, 5 languages belong to the top 15 in both directi
