This is the company that named its web framework "MVC". At least this time they're not eternally polluting search results for an industry standard term.
Sure, you can consider the issue in isolation: If you accept the axiom that there is either no god or the Pauline Christian god, then Pascal's wager makes sense (assuming that that god doesn't care about sincerity,…
True, but I believe Pascal was specifically talking about the Christian god, was he not? Ironically, Jesus clearly claims that what truly matters to god is your intentions, as in the goodness of your heart. I would…
> But Pascal's wager was anchored to specific attested propositions: specifically, the gospel of Jesus Right, but that's the problem with it. It assumes that there are only two possibilities: no god, or the god of the…
I've always thought that surely an all-knowing god would consider Pascal's Wager to be rather mercenary and insincere, and it wouldn't count.
As a kid in the 90s, the ultimate fate of all appliances and electronic devices in my house was to be disassembled and stripped by me, their components buried in deep drawers for use in some imagined future invention,…
This thing apparently has an integration with 1Password. Am I hopelessly out of touch in this brave new AI world, or is giving an LLM access to your password manager the mother of all bad ideas?

That's not the same thing at all. Loco is an actual framework. This project apparently contains no code at all. It's just a bunch of markdown files that tell an LLM how to implement a web app from scratch following…

Do all those toggle switches and dials and sliders actually help discovery for people who grew up with iPads? Maybe their function is only obvious to us dinosaurs.

Show me one single word where anyone has objected to your topic. You are trying so hard to make this conversation about that, but you can't, because it is not your topic, but your shitty attitude that puts people off.…
Ah I see. Not my cup of tea at all, unfortunately. One of the perks of being an employee is that the company pays somebody else to do all that door-knocking.
1. Is that a serious question? Your entire comment embodies that sentiment. Read it again. 2. Your "shift from capitalism". Seriously? Do you not know what you wrote? 3. Buddy, there was no "utterance". If you want…
Except nobody was trying to discuss a shift from capitalism. We were discussing how it might adapt to such a wild shift as people suddenly living 500 years. You know, because it's a fun thought experiment. People do…
I reckon this would be self-correcting. If the average person could reach retirement in such a small fraction of their lifespan, then the vast majority of the population at any given time would be non-productive…
> despite the myth that Big Pharma invests in a lot of research. It doesn't. That's the first time I've heard this. Can you elaborate? How do they produce new drugs without heavy investment in research?
Ok. Still reminds me of it.
I actually laughed out loud when I reached the end of the article decrying "bulky" headsets and finally saw their alternative. Reminds me of the giant egg thing that Darth Vader lives in.
Do you mind if I ask how you find customers? I've freelanced before and always ended going back to a "real job" because I either couldn't find clients, or when I did, they didn't know what they wanted and weren't…
No worries. I actually have been impressed with Oxide's work for a long time, even if I may think your hiring process is a bit on the onerous side. Keep up the good work!
Great, I'm glad to hear it. > You do know No, I did not know when I posted that comment. steveklabnik's comment was posted concurrently with mine, and I did not feel the need to scour the whole thread in case there…
