You paid $0 and contributed nothing

I think investing into integrating a tool into your infrastructure is not exactly "paying $0".

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?

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 * x

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 :( https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46429

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

Interesting, this results in a fully functional desktop version?

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 often recommend this video to Juniors in IT: [The Myth of the Genius Programmer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SARbwvhupQ)

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

Oh, my!

Rupert Sheldrake also performed similar experiments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnA8GUtXpXY

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.

Works as usual for me (I am on a Mac). shift+up/down selects lines. shift+fn+right -- selects till the end of the line.

Since I discovered micro[1], it's my go to editor.

As of Python 3.7, this is no longer an implementation detail and instead becomes a language feature.

It means that Edge is less used within Mobile device type.

I've used a dozen of todo apps over the last 10 years. This is the best I found: https://tasks.org/

It allows you to snooze recurring tasks (unlike Google Keep), can hide a task from the list until its time comes, and a lot more!

And it's free. But not available for iPhone and this prevents me from switching to iPhone.

However I found his last point a betrayal of his life and intelligence.

Sounds a lot like "he betrayed his faith".

Or

I guess, if your statement wasn't researched and peer reviewed, it'll be considered misinformation...

Similar logic applies to the case when we would use laser robots to get rid of weeds. It's artificial selection. Are you suggesting we should stop fighting weeds/insects to get better crops?

I like that they used term "Machine learning" instead of the hyped "AI".
