> You paid $0 and contributed nothing
I think investing into integrating a tool into your infrastructure is not exactly "paying $0".
warvariuc | 1 year ago | on: Complex life forms existed 1.5B years earlier than believed, study finds
> Complex life forms existed 1.5B years earlier than believed
I think it would be more correct to say "It's now believed that complex life forms existed 1.5B years earlier than believed earlier"

Should textbooks and science related articles stop saying "we know" then, if every now and then statements change?
warvariuc | 1 year ago | on: Rye: Homoiconic dynamic programming language with some new ideas
The blog entry titled "Less variables, more flows example vs Python" is strange. ( https://ryelang.blogspot.com/2021/11/less-variables-more-flo... )
The Python version uses intermediate variables so the author of the code is to blame for verbosity, not the language.

Shouldn't it be 64 times?
x + x * 6300% == 64 * xwarvariuc | 2 years ago | on: All PyCon 2023 talks sorted by the view count
I think if the page included descriptions of the videos (from YT) it would have been much better.

So, there is hope that in 10 years this bug in LibreOffice is fixed :(

I am happily running Nginx + supervisord + several Python apps in a single Docker container.

It's very snappy. I run Firefox to work with my Internet banking site in an isolated environment.
I installed KDE -- I am very satisfied.

I use Ubuntu in UTM, but I installed the ARM64 server version, then the desktop packages.

> The Universe doesn’t just expand uniformly, but has tiny density imperfections within it, which enable us to form stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies as time goes on.
"which enable us to form" -- huh?

I really miss Winamp visualisation plugins. I've seen some very good versions.

Rupert Sheldrake also performed similar experiments:

A fairer title would be "Researches Reduced a 100,000-Equation Quantum Physics Problem to Only Four Equations using Machine learning"

> I can solve any problem. I've created more than $1B value for companies I worked for in my career.
That sounds suspicious. I don't know anyone who "can solve any problem". And in order to deliver larger value you need to work in a team. How can you be an effective team member with a fear of video calls?

Are they? Taxpayers don't decide where their taxes go.
