Why would an adversary being able to execute code as root on a personal computer be a bigger threat than their being able to execute code as non-root? Surely just about any of the stuff that a malicious hacker might want to do to someone&#x

From what I've seen it seems to be a very common opinion that the pro 3 is worse than the pro 1 and 2. Hopefully the new tip design is just a temporary indiscretion like the touch bar.

I think it could be made much faster by emulating Linux system calls instead of running a real kernel, and translating x86 binaries to wasm before running (using something like cheerpx).

It's because it's effectively impossible to make a markdown authoring app that meets everyone's needs, and people tend to be picky about what they want in a writing environment. People have strong preferences about WYSIWYG, f

It probably has more to do with the fact that formalizing chess in such a way wouldn't be particularly interesting. Chess is mostly studied because of its historical significance, and if you change the rules then the game no longer is

If the successful people you meet in real life are nice and you see lots of meanness on the internet, it probably just means that anonymity causes meanness.

Learning homological algebra is a long way away from learning about varieties and ideals in any sensible order in which to learn material. You have to do a lot of work in between in order for homological algebra to seem motivated. Sounds
