there are some things that clearly exist that are really hard to nail down with definitions; once we get into anything social, we are kinda playing with that territory. everything is so fuzzy that our normal way of…
sorry, is this in response to my post? in which case, this is exactly the distinction i'm making. the entire argument is whether or not there _is_ a distinction; my point is that this guy just, a priori, decides gender…
yeah, the argument is ridiculous; like, formally, it is ridiculous. i also disagree with the sentiment and conclusions of the argument, but the actual form of the argument is garbage: "i introduce an axiom that says…
the first post was a swipe, i'll grant you. probably shouldn't have said it. it was a knee-jerk reaction to a structurally fallacious argument that leaves no room for discussion: "i reject your stance not based on…

wait this is kinda brilliant tho
Thank. Too much word, me try read but no more tokens.
this is true, "black" has been used in racist ways, but it got rehabbed and reclaimed in the 60s and 70s. but more to the point, it is not currently used in a racist manner by the vast majority of the US, and certainly…
"yellowsky" sounds racist because calling asians "yellow" is racist. "whitesky" sounds racist because...well, i don't know if you're a big history buff but in the US white-people-only gatherings were always suuuuper…
agreed...i think it's fine to keep up with what the corporate world is doing, but these projects bring me real joy
This isn't really a metric. It's a description to help the reader understand the magnitude of effort that went into this project. SLoC is a bad metric for plenty of things, but I think it's fine for quickly conveying…
Followed closely by "The Breadboard Has Been Drinking"
chill, be nice
You're presuming that every phrase was worded _just so_. This could very well have been from the author refactoring their sentence and not simplifying everything. They probably were thinking in these terms (the author…
Meh, it's usable w/out github but you'll be reading raw markdown files (unless you get your own markdown renderer which isn't that big of a deal). But yeah, it's either an incomplete git-based wiki or a complete github…
I found In My Room to be an incredibly moving album. Djesse left me feeling far less after a first listen, but when I returned a few days later I started to notice things I had missed and now I really enjoy that album…
This is going on all of my homeworks (submitted electronically, of course)
I don't know, I might push back here. While fake news can certainly be interpreted as news that is false, that is not how it is usually used. There is definitely an insinuation, and while the vanilla reading of the…
Do what?
Look into the Coq language, it is under active development and there is a lot of work going into it. Voevodsky was working in Coq, if I recall. As to how hard it is to learn, you will have to learn a pretty decent…
Oh cool, this is from Allen Hatcher. I've worked through some of his algebraic topology and it was very well written. I'm excited to look through this
rolls up sleeves alright, folks, let's get to it
Ahhhh, but then they will ask how to print things and you'll have to explain monads :)
