They don’t plow into the ground. They enter it in a perfect vertical akin to top Olympic divers, and to claim any less is libel

There’s no real point to nfts as licenses though. The only party that can authenticate a license, the creator, wouldn’t want to give up their control over licenses, and the wouldn’t want to resell used licenses because… Why? That’s a ton of work to implement when they can just sell a new license.
For sure they know, it’s just cops are lazy and aren’t paid to solve crimes
Some people genetically just don’t smell bad when they sweat
It’s definitely not simple to use but I agree that the conceptual model it represents is straightforward. I think a lot of the problems people have with git come from not understanding the underlying data structure before learning how to manipulate it.
Someone else has a server and their infrastructure is set up so you can upload a zip of some executable and they’ll figure out how to make it run. You don’t worry about any details except your code and whatever API is require to be compatible, and they worry about hosting it, making sure it has memory, CPU time, disk space, DB, etc.
Right tool for the right job. C is a stupid choice for most modern apps but it’s indispensable for embedded stuff
What a grand and intoxicating innocence to presume Marx did not consider these things
I’m sure it was revolutionary back in the day for warlords to learn that keeping your supply lines defended was important and also you shouldn’t fight a battle against an uphill defender with the sun at their back on muddy ground.
It’ll be fine. There’s always some cohort of people who take an actual interest in the magic boxes enough to want to learn compsci.
This was the peak. Every meme since this fella has been “thing good, thing bad”.
Half the user-facing internet broke for a few hours when one guy withdrew a shitty one-liner piece of JavaScript (the whole leftpad thing) because someone somewhere added it as a dependency to a dependency to a dependency until it was pulled into an enormous frontend library. The internet relies more on random open source contributions than a lot of people are aware of.
Gose beers finally arrived in my area after years of waiting. Still fifty IPAs to every gose but it’s something
During WW2, the Allies wanted to armor their planes better so more would survive missions. But armor is expensive and heavy so you’d have to prioritize where to put it.
So they go out and collect data on the returning planes to see where they’d been hit. That picture is basically the data collected: where returning planes had sustained the most damage.
So most of the engineers looked at that and went “Aha, the points with the most damage should be armored, since they get shredded up pretty good.”
And one engineer went “Um actually, if they got shot there and came back, armor doesn’t matter. We need to armor the spots with no bullet holes, since a plane shot there wasn’t able to return.”
And so it was, and they called it Survivor Bias.
In this case, it’s survivor bias about becoming more conservative as you age
Let me be clear, uh, you wanna know how I, uh, ruined Reddit?
It did though? I don’t know what point you think you’re making but the internet did in fact grow from a technology limited to universities and the armed forces to a publicly accessible network, mostly off the back of publicly funded researchers and various techies that started their own neighborhood ISPs.
Just close your eyes. Illusions don’t work if you can’t see them
Does a more recent stack translate to any real benefits?
Nah, meters are very straightforward and easy to work with. How far is a kilofoot? God only knows, but a kilometre is a trivially visualized distance. What’s 1/100 of a foot? Dunno, but with meters it’s a centimeter which is, again intuitively easy to grasp.
If someone lives like a king, but directly because their wealth is earned by the suffering and death of thousands, is it not morally just to stop them? At what point is the life of one billionaire worth more than the life of the, say, five hundred children that starved to death because of that billionaire? Is the system of economics that results in that not utterly reprehensible?
We want capitalism to stop killing people. It cannot stop killing people. So we must dismantle capitalism. But the bourgeoisie will defend, violently, the perpetuation of capitalism. Thus, they are taking on a direct moral responsibility for the deaths capitalism causes.
Revolution is only violent because capitalists wield violence to brutally suppress even peaceful protests, and we must respond in kind to defend ourselves. The violence of self-defense is not the same as the violence of oppressors. If the capitalists saw peaceful protests and willingly put their fortunes aside and returned their means of production to common ownership, there would be no need for revolution. But in all history of this struggle they’ve chosen instead to maim and murder protestors.
As a snapshot, Food Not Bombs are an anarchist group who do nothing but give food to the unhoused. Police will arrest every FNB member to stop them, when what they’re doing is literally just feeding the poor. But if FNB members carry firearms, police leave them alone, and the unhoused receive food.
