Haha oh you're right, was misframing in my head the word countable as meaning finite. I even provide the definition of countable infinity in my counterargument without realising it, though maybe that too is a misunderstanding.

You are right because you can recursively add clauses. 'Buffalo buffalo...' or 'This was my dad's dad's dad's...' If you think you have a full set you can always add one more

I meant here, though I think there is also tendency in general As a side note I think the state of current discourse has shown that anything other than concrete language presents too much opportunity to talk past each other. So I don't

That's kinda the whole point, but noone is framing that situation as the problem. They would rather think that homeless people are innately inferior and thus deserve to suffer, rather than victims of circumstance in one way or another.

It never changed from the single-income household era. And people wonder why the high street is dying.

The government is accountable (in theory). The government is a different kind of entity with different behaviour to a single human, or even a corporation. Your argument is a semantic one and was not made in good faith I think... But if the

Compute shaders from a high-level pipeline perspective. How data moves from CPU and between shaders to accomplish a task.

Thanks. Yes I was thinking more about the (traditionally) CPU side of graphics or games, things like CPU skinning or skeletal animation. I was wondering mostly about the FFI overhead. So the question should really be, is it suitable for rea

Is it possible to use BQN in a high performance context? How much overhead does the runtime, and FFI have? Could it be used for graphics?

How much savings do you have? Is it used for rent-seeking behaviour? I think that's the key issue the country is facing. If you have a little padding no-one will be coming for you. Everyone in power is desparately trying dance around

it’s more about wealth. You need a functioning welfare state to allow people to take risks

by truckerbill 2y ago
I see the logic there, though I think there's more to it. Like quality of work, and reward structures for hard work. Carrots work much better than sticks, with much lower risk of social unrest. I think those on the broad right are also

A guess: If you could ask a (nice) djinn to make rent-seeking businesses disappear - those with net negative real productivity -> happiness generation - society would bounce back. That includes real estate / landlordism, sorry! Many

Cool! Did you just prompt -> copy -> paste or did you come up with some specific workflow?

Sources and sinks - where does the money go? What is it subsequently used for?

The point is it’s easier to just tax wealth a bit more and let everyone get on the bloody train… It’s mostly people just going to work/school, makes sense to be free

Poetic analogy for modern times , short term gain over cooperation inspiration and discovery. Also ironic coming from the company revitalising space tech. But cynically this benefits their business. We shouldn’t let powerful people hold us

Things that annoy me about Figma: - No way to set defaults for new frames etc ( that I know of ) - Some things rely on mouse input (setting width modes etc) which breaks flow - Generally not for power users - No decent code export - No styl

I bet most of the authors and proponents of that hypothesis don't actually think it at all. It's justification aimed at useful idiots.

The downside is you are walking into an inviting mono/duopoly. Things like this and cloudflare are amazing until the wind changes and the entire internet has a failure mode
