on: AMA: I'm Dave Greene, an accidental expert on Conway's Game of Life
It's a cellular automaton showing complex behavior emerging from very simple rules.
Through especially crafted inputs you can simulate a Turing machine or Conway's Game of Life inside itself.

What an absurd comparison by you. I've always been pro covid vaccine but comparing vaccine criticism to the Nazi Holocaust is absolutely ridiculous.

on: Apple's Vision Pro headset deserves to be ridiculed
This is true, but on the other hand the previous VR/AR headsets confine their usage themselves, especially in social situations because they are not accepted by other people. Blurring that boundary might cause less isolation compared to other headsets - but might cause more isolation in the long run as an indirect effect due to more widespread usage.

on: Why do ships use “port” and “starboard” instead of “left” and “right?”
I think this is due to the bilateral symmetry of most animals. But imagine being non-symmetric yourself (or the alien race being non-symmetric). The concepts of left and right seem to become much more communicable now.

The whole point of female leagues is, that females don't become overpowered by males. So the decision you are talking about is already made. If one starts to introduce biologically males back into the female league one could arguably instead remove the female league and introduce a unisex one. This would be more coherent with your reasoning in my eyes.

on: Sunlight through glass does not provide Vitamin D
Well, when you get sunburn i.e. high UVB exposure, you get high UVA exposure, too. My understanding is, that UVA radiation causes cancer.
But I would like to see some clarification on this topic, too.

on: Python: Avoid master/slave terms
Well this change implies that it is not OK to use terms like master and slave. The criticism is founded in fears, that this is used as a precedent to control speech.
An Idea that is not fully unfounded.
