Tangentially, E. W. Dijkstra's handwriting is the cleanest I've seen, and I had the same feeling you did when I came across his papers in his archive. I later came across this blog post: https://joshldavis.com/2013

He specifically references the last page of the last issue, and concludes his commencement speech with its words "Stay hungry. Stay foolish." [1] Pretty nice to see it context, next to all the other editions. > I wonder what ob

Unlearning OOP does not necessarily involve forgetting abstraction and the concept of an object. "Unlearning OOP" involves freeing yourself from the notion that all programming should be designed as an object hierarchy. There is&#

I have no knowledge of DANE but its reliance on DNSSEC makes me worried that it would be difficult for people to adopt it. Also, I think it solves a different problem: it prevents spoofing/MITM but what about legitimate certificates? W

Why should curation be centralized? We do not need a "decentralized dictatorship" (what would that even be? that's antithetical) and we certainly do not need a centralized one. It seems crazy that your solutions to AI, spam,

Well it did have to change its name from GAIM to Pidgin at some point because it infringed on "AIM" by AOL. And whether or not Pidgin was fully "TOS-compliant" (which it might have been depending on the service we'd

How so? Where are the bugs you speak of? I don't find the UI to be nightmarish either. Can you point to specific issues the site maintainer can look at? If this is the worst modern website you've seen, you're very lucky.

It's like exercise: if you can withstand more training, you will get better results. The most important thing is not how hard you train, but how consistent you are at training. The advice given here can be dangerous to some people: one

Even if we did manage to achieve such an upgrade, we would still have to successfully manage to secure the rare earths required for electronics manufacturing. Extracting and processing these resources is becoming more and more complex. Espe

The initial sale never has and never will be the issue with non free software; in fact, they can sometimes be acquired free of charge. I get your sentiment and I agree with you that some software can indeed be proprietary without being pred

What exactly does your diet consist in? What other adjustments have you made, e.g. in sleep or exercise? From what I've read[1] the risk with a long-term keto diet is an increase in cholesterol (LDL and total), which can be attributed

Thank you for your input. I was familiar with proper noun capitalization (e.g. Moon/moon and Earth/earth). French (my first language) is different in that it differentiates language, adjective and demonym through capitalization (l

Can you elaborate on using "folks" instead of "people"? I'm unfamiliar with the difference as english is not my first language. For reference, to my knowledge these words are pretty much interchangeable with "f

Exactly, I completely agree with you. This is what baffled me about the parent comment: " Unlike other human rights, the right to privacy has always been a bit fuzzy with a ton of exceptions and caveats ". Compare the right to pri

What would pass "clear and succinct" in your opinion? I don't see how it is less clearly defined than any other human right. Let's take international law[1]. Right to privacy is defined as protection from arbitrary inter

Again, I don't see the problem with new regulation disabling old design. And I don't see how your points make the game impossible to morph into a playable state. For one thing, that's not what the campaign advocates for anywa

How is this problematic? New law impedes on previous practices and renders them unfeasible all the time. In the specific case of Pokemon Go, and with end-of-life plans in mind, you could probably design the game around that expectation. GDP

Opening the website with Firefox 123.0.1 on Windows 10 x64, the webpage slowed my browser to a crawl. After a quick look into it, it seems it didn't play well with the Angular Devtools extension[1]; you might want to look into it. Inte
