only suggest improvements, and provide reasons if possible, never tell anyone they should do something in a certain way unless it’s an obvious bug. I fucking hate know it alls that confuse their opinions and preferences with some absolute truth.

In think both of these legends / geniuses deserved all of the pussy that has presented itself in front of them. Pussy doesn’t present itself without reason, which I think we can all agree on. Takes a lot of hard work and talent to get pussy through writing. Presentation of the aforementioned pussy and subsequent utilization of said pussy is just a nice bonus. Think RSU, only much more fun.

what an absolute chad. good for him.

Can we build a Black Hole Bomb?

A man can be made to say or do anything, with enough conditioning; we are animals after all. I'm not arguing the irrelevance of context here, but I am saying that people have natural tendencies which amount to an implicit innate moral compass. People want to be good and chill.

Most people want to be nice to their neighbors / tribe.

Most people find violence disturbing.

That they live in circumstance that encourages, requires, them to kill, to manipulate, to be an asshole - is just circumstance. That's why being a Good Person is Hard. You need to remain true to yourself, and fight against all kinds of external forces that seek to corrupt you.

Yes.

The notion that humanity would be morally lost without the guidance of religious belief is laughable. For sake of gaining some perspective and widening one's thoughts I'd suggest reading the works of any of the number of major philosophers.

And if you need to read in some book that oppression is bad, that murdering people is bad, that basic human rights are a good idea, etc. - if you need to read that in a book and have these concepts crystalized for you as capital T True by dogma fed to you by a church of some kind... then, my friend, you're just a bad person. And we do have bad people and will continue to have bad people but religion has done nothing to abate this. Moral compass is innate to human nature, not something you learn from a book.

But what if you really are crazy? Not a dysfunctional schizo type of crazy, but just talking to invisible deities in the sky and sincerely believing they are there type of crazy? Which is literally what the author (proudly) claims to be, no? Are we supposed to take such beliefs seriously? Being unable to tell people they're full of shit, in a respectful manner, is much more of a serious problem here. You want to hold certain beliefs and to express them, then you should be ready to be challenged. The more peculiar the beliefs the stronger and more immediate the challenges. Alternatively, you can, you know, just shut the fuck up and keep working on those wonderful products of yours and not pollute your social surroundings with religion that has oppressed and killed millions of people throughout history.

sheeeesh

You sound like a fun teacher.

It’s symmetrical. Enough of an upgrade for me.

Cool story bruh

you can write a diff tool that talks to an LSP server

Wolfram isn't open source because Wolfram (the man) is an ego maniac and a control freak. This isn't an adhominem - some men are just that way.

China poses a significant threat on basic human freedoms of all people. We need to aggressively fight back against any and all influences that are Chinese in origin.

Don't do business with Chinese companies, or companies that are even affiliated with Chinese companies. Don't accept funding with ties to China. Etc etc.

And more importantly, we need programs for Chinese citizens that allow them to immigrate and live in Western countries provided they renounce their Chinese citizenship. The people aren't at fault here, naturally, it's the system that is corrupt and is using the population to further its own corrupt ideology.

What a trainwreck.

Excited to see space developments take place

agreed, this is a terrible idea.
