I'm not sure how this contradicts, or even has anything to do with the parent post. It seems like you're reading excessively far into a turn-of-phrase.

Sure. That's very much my point (or have I missed yours?) "Natural" is used to mean "in the ontology of Man".

I think people are talking past each other when discussing "unnaturalness". Opponents of homosexuality often use the word "unnatural" in the sense of "not in humankind's nature". This is distinct from &q

I'm seriously thinking about refusing to take meetings on software I don't already have. I strongly suspect it won't actually change anything, but so far I've been too chicken to actually try.

Yes (and yes!) ;)

Zoom is objectively a good software solution but being de facto forced to install yet another piece of software just to take business meetings has left a sour taste in my mouth. It's objectively impressive that they managed to &quo

I haven't been using Go modules, to the point where I only have a vague notion of what they do. I haven't felt the need for them. At what point do they become necessary? Which pain-points should I be on the lookout for?

In practice, it is true. They have a long line of candidates, and will prefer those with experience. Source: am a reserve infantryman at 94th RI, 3rd Company. Regularly train with 2ème REP.

That's largely a thing of the past. You're more likely to be handed over to Interpol than anything else today. Also, HN-ers beware -- the FFL doesn't take people without military experience, anymore.

Cool, thanks for this! I'm happily using Cap'n Proto in a side project, and so far have really enjoyed working with it. It's a really impressive piece of engineering.

If I could upvote this twice, I would. You've managed to put words on something I've been struggling to articulate. Your point about using Go's type system (esp. interfaces) rings particularly true. When I finally figured o

Right, but I'm asking if FlatBuffers' approach to encoding is similar to Cap'n Proto. It seems like the answer is "yes", but I might be missing something.

I use go daily and have come to really like it, however I van completely relate to your pain points. I think there's a lot of confusion over the "go is simple" meme. Go is simple, but it's not easy . The price one pay

Are FlatBuffers essentially Capnproto without the RPC?

>We didn’t exist before birth At the risk of sounding all "woo-woo", this statement bears some qualification. How do you define existence, here? Are you equating it with consciousness? Surely your constituent parts (atoms, mo

In a former life I was a cognitive neuroscience researcher. This reads like a piece written by someone who heard a neuroscientist take issue with the "brain as computer" metaphor, but didn't quite grasp what it was all about.

Ah, I do apologize then. I misinterpreted your post.

This is why European universities are _extremely_ worthwhile, especially if you're a US student.

>18 men and 18 women This very much depends on statistical power. If the effect size is big enough, 36 participants can be plenty . I suspect the effect sizes of sleep deprivation are probably quite large.

And this is completely irrelevant to the point at hand.
