be it chocolate, coffee, wine, or [heroin] ensure that those chemicals are available safely and taxed appropriately While I agree that prohibition has proven time and again to be a terrible thing, I'd also argue that…
The article notes "that this is only a thought experiment." And I think it should stay that way. It's very interesting to think about, yet SQLite offers nothing but problems for developers and content creators. While…
Oops, should've specified C# specifically, in which deadlock has become notorious. I don't think there's anything wrong with async/await per se. It looks to me like the linearity of js engine event loops wouldn't…
I think when clicks equal money, there's a lot less room for ethics in journalism. See: https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp Still, as the article points out, efforts to sanitize reporting will fail. But I think that's…
You're right that simulation arguments generally don't rely on QM interpretations. I mention it as potentially detracting from simulation because a common argument includes the need for computational shortcuts. QM as it…
That's true, but such proposed extensions or alternate interpretations are then filling in the gaps that would lead people down the path of the simulated universe in the first place.
It's the most obvious counter-interpretation. I think it's become remarkably successful, but also suffers in its embrace of causality. While the Copenhagen interpretation can skirt the issue completely, Bohm's must…
The appearance that quantum effects might be attributed to 'hacks' probably has more to do with the hackish nature of the Copenhagen interpretation. For instance, there is no stated physical explanation for the collapse…
Looks like it is using the electron framework http://electron.atom.io/ To be sure, JavaScript can sometimes be fairly terrible as the scope of projects grow. The advantage here is how easily rich (or even absurd) UI…
I'd guess the typical overhead of material and contracting could be drastically different between the two markets. Also, it seems the complexity and size are far less in the Indian project. 9m modules on 4700 acres in…
In many ways, the idea of IRC chat has grown significantly beyond the conventional client. From the ubiquity of chat for productivity in applications like HipChat to the hugely successful Twitch.tv platform, IRC has…
I see a lot of beauty in the js ecosystem, but only insomuch as related technologies come together to produce platform-independent, user-facing components. Similarly, I find C# or Java and their related technologies to…
Ah, thanks. This gives me better perspective.
I'm under the impression that the reason we couldn't confirm the Higgs boson before the LHC was that electron-positron colliders could not easily produce the massive particles needed. Proton-proton or Proton-antiproton…
As someone who has implemented all these before, I thought the presentation was great. Yes, there are some holes, but in under 1500 lines, ASCII art and all, a lot was covered. More importantly, the ideas put forward…
