Sometimes this is useful, though. Other times it’s infuriating 😅

Connection to the state sounds like a much better reason than ‘being Russian or using Russian email address’. I understand why the internet ‘discussion’ mostly fails to notice this difference

You don’t need to use and learn everything, just pick what you need.

I used to think the same, but now I think you should at least skim through everything. Reason being otherwise you may reinvent the wheel a lot, and there are many use-cases where you really don’t want to do that (but C++ makes it so easy, I was constantly tempted to just do what I want and not look for it being already available)

A lot of computational heavy tasks for science were done in Fortran at least ten years ago (and I think still are). I was told that’s mainly because Fortran has a good deal of libraries for just that, and it was widely taught in academia so this is a common ground between the older and newer generations.

I think it may be gradually superseded by Python, but I don’t know if it is

I’m unfamiliar with bitwarden’s licence and skimmed through the issue and my understanding is:

1. To use bitwarden API you must use SDK
2. To use SDK you are obligated to be the official application, otherwise you violate the licence
3. The official application is GPL but since SDK is somehow ‘separate program’ it is considered OK to couple with a more restrictive license

However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

This is something I completely fail to understand other that mental gymnastics to bend the truth enough to not look like they are not quite right

Edit: is my understanding correct? It looks like this is not the first project that becomes ‘source available’ after being FOSS in the past, as of lately

However you define it, a central nervous system or other type of similar central unit would have to be a requirement, because that is what would actually be sentient

Without CNS there would be something else sophisticated enough to show sentience that would have been sentient. So to me it looks like this is not really a requirement, albeit it’s simpler to say that it is.

As a side note, I think that given how human-centric humans are (which is to be expected, really) even if we were living with another sentient species on the same planet we would argue they are not sentient for whatever reason we could come up with, and change sentience definition accordingly

lectured on semantics rather than responding to the meaning

this is ironic

not even all vegans who don’t use honey agree on whether or not a vegan can use honey

Exactly this, veganism is ethical choice, and ethics is not science. You can’t ‘prove’ that something is acceptable, nor vice versa. There are guidelines and discussions but that’s pretty much it.

So this is really not about whether bees are animals or not.

But you can ignore the response if you decide to not deal with it

How do you make sure you understood the idea if the word choice is incorrect? You may assume from context what the idea was, but you may as well assume wrong. And the more such assumptions exist in one dialogue, the further it is from information exchange, and the closer it is to not listening at all because you already knew the context before the dialogue

Perhaps some forks still exist…

No, that’s impossible, because they didn’t allow it 😭

I just think that they are pretty much same interest-wise, and LibreWolf at least tries to convey some meaning

No, I don’t, does that also prove your point?

everyone could do it

…proceeds to not do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d disagree, Kafka has a specific not-quite-nightmare but a very unpleasant dream air to many of his works, and that is what I perceive as Kafkaesque. Meaningless requirements, broken logic, ill-advised actors and some such.

If anything, I find The Trial to be better reflecting Kafka’s style, and be less unpleasant than The Metamorphosis maybe because it doesn’t depict family members that dream of getting rid of main character.

Saber toothed shit is a serious reason

I think the hate is a bit unwarranted, but be wary that it does sometimes fail anything

And after this guys are poking fun on Europeans for not caring about work out of work hours. Man I would prefer the European attitude more, if it’s not an emergency response team (which also should only work during the work hours, it just has those at odd times)

the earth pulls the ball down.

Not in Australia, though

Affecting passage of time looks like a difficult idea to come up with an analogy.

For the better gravity analogy, I think a rubber sheet that has something pulling together at a “gravity well” and lines drawn on it may work better, but I’m not sure 😅
