Weird romanization, wouldn't it be "suika"? There's no "ca" grapheme in common Japanese romanization systems iirc.

Yeah, some people only assign value to things in terms of money and economics. I will never understand these people. You are the art.

I have always thought that there are two kinds of programmer, the tinker and the mathematician. The tinker likes to code operating systems and shells, the mathematician likes to code Haskell and Agda. You've updated my belief that ther

Can't the same thing be said about literature and music?

And if you can’t see the difference between those things, you’ll probably never know.

Bad counterexample, c.f. the current obesity epidemic and the popularity of GLP-1s. I get what you're saying, it's just that I think what you're saying is not overlooked, it's simply insignificant to the debate about the

Videos aren’t books, and ereaders aren’t TVs. The book/written word is also a technology that has preferences on how it’s used and transformations that it imposes on its users, and they’re much different than those of TV or computers.

If being a Luddite means I'm the only one who cares to understand anything, I'll accept the label gladly. You: I think it’s good to understand some things. This guy: If you don’t understand everything then you might as well not un

And you can use a TV to read books, but nobody does. Every technology has ways it can be used, and ways it wants to be used. This one wants to be used in a way that produces outcomes we won't like.

I think there's a fallacy where someone points out one instance of a larger trend which will, when taken to its logical progression, lead to an undesired effect; and then someone attempts to rebut the claim by pointing out that the tre

People use the word "determinism" when they really mean something akin to "linearity", i.e. the predictability of a change in input on a change in output. Compilers for example are both deterministic and "more linea

Sure, I don't have a problem with unions being restricted from political donations either. Just like corporations can be regulated for monopoly (which by the logic that "corporations, as mere groups of people, have all the same ri

by tines 3mo ago
The flaw in this reasoning is that corporations are not merely associations of people; they are a special kind of association of people, which can be regulated specially. Hence, I think, why some have stripped away this motivated language a

by tines 3mo ago
I thought that the "corporations are people" meme was the actual rationale for why corpos "should" be allowed to spend money on elections: spending money for political purposes is free speech, and people have the right t

This is making it sound way more complicated than it is. Sibling comment is much better. Thing changes over time -> thing experiences time -> it's not going the speed of light -> it has mass.

It seems human beings spend a significant portion of their lives trying to figure out how to live as little as possible.

Sure, but if you take that view, everything above assembly is a QOL improvement and we really don't need anything. That definition is pretty useless though.
