wildduck | 6 years ago | on: Memories Can Be Injected and Survive Amputation and Metamorphosis

There are many cases of people who get organ transplant inherit the memory of the donor. I have heard in more than one places or another. A simple search on the web will yield this:

Here is a link: https://www.medicaldaily.com/can-organ-transplant-change-rec...

We still don't know squats about how memory are stored. And cases like that can be a valid argument for memory and consciousness being a non-local phenomenon. Kinda like how client-server model in CS. ;-) . Are our brain just a browser?

>I know the choice to do business with China is complex and nuanced. But I suggest prioritizing the moral implications--both to the world and to China's citizens--of a Chinese government with ever-increasing power when considering to what extent one should do business with China.

There is a book by Stephen Roach "Unbalanced: The Codependency of America and China" that take a good stab of explains this issue.

> I will never ask end users for financial support. FUSE will always be free. However, what I'm asking for is for companies, that are selling FUSE-based products or rebrand FUSE and bundle it with their apps, to re-invest some of the profits in the continued development of FUSE on macOS, if they can afford it. I don't think that is unreasonable.

Sounds like he should have released it under GPL type of licensing.

While this is valid view. It is a view. Language can be used to describe reality or to create it.

>That seems reasonable to me. I've often found optimism in others to be foolish.

"Stay hungry, stay foolish",- Steve Job's commencement speech at Stanford.

Sometime foolishness is what make a difference. It is really all about timing and context.

I have being using PHP since it was call PHP - Personal Home Page. The best part of the PHP is the templating! It makes a lot more sense then Perl at the time. Now days templating can easily be replaced by EJS.

Personally I wouldn't want to use any language that does not have closure and function as a first class citizen. It makes programming fun and productive.

BTW, the 2 + 0.3 thing you are mentioning are all fixed by ES15 and ES6.
