Depends on the source. I've been doing nogi BJJ (not on the comp team: I am old, we train hard but not competition hard) about ten years or so. People training technique will grey out pretty much routinely as they talk…
If you say so. I think we could agree that when it comes to McCarthy, one has to grade on a curve.
It's funny you mention it; I have a friend who writes books who had trouble with McCarthy and I recently mentioned this same criticism. I suggested ATPH to her and this same character came to mind as a decent piece of…
I don't think so; preserving goodness and decency comes at little personal cost to most of us, but McCarthy's effort in the book is at its core a depiction of these things surviving even the apocalypse, and at an…
I think McCarthy is one of the greatest American writers, but I will say my two main gripes with him are his tendency to drift over the line into overwrought (sometimes the biblical language is incredibly powerful,…
I can't think of a single character in the book for whom nihilism is their defining trait, and certainly not the primary characters. The effort to preserve goodness in the world only really matters when it's hard, when…
The point is that everyone is doomed (even if you imagine we can survive the civilization-murdering tools we've cobbled up, we can't outrun physics), but that even at our most vulnerable, since the book occurs during a…
I hope, at least, you managed to watch the films before you had an opinion on them. Tarantino's, I mean. The Road is not a violent or pessimistic book, tho there is violence and pessimism in it. Don't confuse the set…
"A man's at odds to know his mind cause his mind is aught he has to know it with. He can know his heart, but he dont want to. Rightly so. Best not to look in there. It aint the heart of a creature that is bound in the…
Hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, but thought it might be interesting for you folks who do technical and scientific work: https://nautil.us/the-kekul-problem-236574/ McCarthy's perspective on language is interesting in…
Well that'll do for my dose of weltschmerz today, thanks.
Rational motives can produce irrational actions, and do so somewhat reliably.

Spoken like a religious tenet, detached from everything interesting. Which board? What implementation of capitalism? You don't pretend that the States are running a free market or anything absurd like that, do you? The…
The ever coming year of the linux desktop. Full disclosure: I dual boot, but only to game. Linux been my daily driver since before 7 went eol. I am that linux fanboy. Debian, primarily.
Well, that's the baby out with the bathwater, then. Defense in depth, always.
I know it makes me a terrible asshole, but reading this makes me seethe about the infant who was brought into existence without her consent only to suffer and die (like all of us, but this is a terrible compression of…
Jack Weatherford's book on the history of money was pretty good. Lots of tracing the transitional periods as valuables give way to abstractions give way to further abstractions on the abstraction-- and documenting where…
I think my use of the word 'credit' was a distraction here and that's my bad, but folks absolutely walked around with valuable metals to use as a medium of exchange when moving other valuables was very difficult or…
You're still kinda waving that broad brush. For one, not every consumer is most concerned with primarily with convenience (lots of scams are convenient as hell), especially tech-savvy folks in 2021 who have begun to…
Folks didn't 'enthusiastically abandon' sound money for credit (or even the early IOUs which were a sort of primitive cash) the moment they could. You're retconning a bit there. Folks were extremely reluctant for a long…
This implies the cs agent was able to view the password in plain text. Yikes. Big bank?
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is optics (most of the installed userbase for signal has probably only ever heard of monero in a negative light).
A lot of clever folks in here attempting to tailor the Emperor's new clothes. As to whether church membership slipping below the 50% mark is a good or bad thing for America, I'm agnostic.
No 0-day here, more of a supply chain attack, but your point stands. This actor was determined
