Porn.

You can use a local password manager like pwsafe, that way someone would have to hack into your computers first, and then break pwsafe's encryption (which is of course impossible, since it was written by Bruce Schneier).

It's more of a pain to use than web password managers, but less than a piece of paper. I'd still recommend writing down the master password, since if you lose it you're screwed.

Humans have a history of occasionally choosing bad fitness functions that predates computers, for example look at the awful things we've done to persian cats or chihuahua dogs.

Plot twist: you're actually a moderator for Facebook looking at child porn and beheadings all day. Further plot twist: that FB gig was another fake memory to cover up your involvement in a secret government project involving lots of enhanced interrogation, to provide plausible cause for the psychological damage that wasn't entirely fixed by memory replacement.

Surely that won't be the only option, and you'll be able to run, say, Arch Linux on your implant. Just be sure to read the news before a full system upgrade, lest you end up in a coma and need a hard reboot with a live usb image.

>Coming to Go after Python was not only a joy, but I was able to easily implement concurrency and improve the performance of my game of life simulation side project by something like 25x.

Python is notoriously bad at both these things though, so it's not a very high bar. I think a more meaningful comparison would be to languages like Clojure, Erlang/Elixir, Rust, or any other that has concurrency as one of the top priories, but makes different tradeoffs.

On a tangential note, your post reminded me that I should go read "How to talk about books you haven't read", at least for the peace of mind, if not anything else.

I think Zerzan was on to something with his claim that things took a nosedive after the invention of symbolic language.

I don't buy it. Slack is, supposedly, a product for professionals (I think the non-professional lunch was eaten by Discord already). Professionals communicating at work would benefit from RAM and CPU being left alone much more than from animations and other fluff.

>rapid growth, is/was the first priority above all else, including "technical excellence"

That's the modus operandi of many unpleasant things like bacteria or cancer cells, why should it be commendable on its own?

Being awful is Skype's killer feature. You can't carpet-bomb with pings, you can't comfortably copy and paste code or logs into it, half of devs who use linux don't bother running it on a VM and instead use flaky third-party clients, it eats messages randomly, so long story short - people generally avoid it except for trivial shit. And on the odd day when they don't, I get a copy on Outlook anyway.

I've read some horror stories about Slack, and I shudder to think what would happen if my company moved to it.

To each his own, in my opinion consumer market for laptops being a trash fire doesn't excuse putting malware on them.

"We are a totally trustworthy company, we screw only some of our customers."

their headlights.

Whether P=NP.

You mean it's shameful to receive money directly from the users, and respectable people must have an intermediary for it?

Looks like a ritual to protect against nasal demons.

Humans and cats, actually.

I'm not from UK, but having seen the UK plug, I think that the most common injuries it causes would be blunt trauma and possibly stabbings.

Just remember to remove any baobabs you see, these can get nasty real quick.

This is exactly what "quantum teleportation" means and it has never meant anything else. "Beam me up" is pure fantasy.

I'm not sure if I'm not responding seriously to satire, but are you aware of what "burnout" means?

From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/burnout :

"Definition of burnout

1 : the cessation of operation usually of a jet or rocket engine also : the point at which burnout occurs

2a : exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration

b : a person suffering from burnout

3 : a person showing the effects of drug abuse"

I mean, by the looks of the landing page, I guess (3) could fit somewhat?

If you think satire layers cancel out, you clearly haven't spent enough time on the internet.

Finally I can ditch the portable black hole I was using for work hour dilatation.

>What I find somewhat ironic is this: the author mentions working with Stephen Hawking, an amazing man who produced incredible intellectual work and enriched our understanding of reality while being almost incapable of any physicality.

Not from birth though. I wouldn't dismiss the impact of being able to interact with the world during childhood so easily.

If Microsoft considered privilege escalation to be serious, they wouldn't have Windows setup a single privileged account on a fresh install. Or at the very least, they wouldn't make it necessary to jump through two hidden hoops to make a separate admin account without (a) a Microsoft profile and (b) without "secure questions" misfeature.

What do you think about "fabless" semiconductor companies, then?

Sorry then, I guess I have no idea what this discussion was about in the first place. Why would anyone care about the build tools of someone else's site if it doesn't affect the user?

Wouldn't it be easier to just use a static site generator for a simple site like this, though?

It seems to work fine under umatrix set to "kill everything but first-party images and css".
