  • Would you say learning a programming language is easier or harder than learning a natural language?

    Jump

  • Way easier, learning a language to be able to read, listen and be understood when speaking is very hard, learning a language to be able to speak and also sound normal doing it is years worth of everyday practice

    In contrast, if you really try you can have a good understanding of a programming language within a month, maybe sooner if it's not your first programming language

    Not my rice, but I'm loving this shell [Hyprland]

  • Why do they call it a shell though? It looks more like a WM or DE

  • You can't play d4+ as black at that point, because then white queen would be taking the king since she's on Qc5

  • Tricky, this can be played in two ways by black:

    1. Qc5 Rc3+ 2. dxc3 b2 3. Qd4#

  • Oh ok, seems really cool though!

  • Is it related at all to the Helix editor, same shortcuts etc, or is it just a naming coincidence?

  • What do you think is the worst human invention?

    Jump

  • Not sure why you have a snarky tone about it, but there definitely have been times in human history that were not using war as a means of carving out resources and spheres of influence. Comparing tribes fighting to today's reasons for war is pretty pointless, and so is defining a immutable "human nature". If anything, the nature of humans is to change their nature.

    Jump

  • Still, there have been really close calls historically which were only avoided because of some good decisions by individuals (e.g. Vasily Arkhipov. These could happen again with less wise decisions made. Not saying that any countries having them today could be getting rid of them realistically without the US waiting outside their door, but one day when we will hopefully be living in more peaceful times without imperialists, we should be putting them in the time capsule of history along with the system that made them necessary in the first place.

  • Wish I could see a society that uses AI resources with respect to the resources, and not having multiple companies compete over who makes the best slop flinging machine, but instead diverting all that extra workforce to actual research that advances this technology instead of leaving it at the 'produces decent codes sometimes' and 'good for generating targeted ads' level

  • I absolutely hate those, I feel such a strong need to clear them even if I know that I'll waste my time by clicking them. They are useful when there's something you actually want to read behind those notifications, but it's ridiculously abused by all mainstream software.

  • What do you think is the worst human invention?

    Jump

  • I'd say nukes, as they are the only human invention so far that can end all of life as we know it in an instant. I still can't blame the countries who built them as a response to the US wanting to use them to become world ruler, which they absolutely would have done if the other countries didn't also build nukes. But simply as an invention leaving politics aside, fuck nukes.

  • How does a zero click hack even work? Let's assume the ISPs and phone companies are all willing to collaborate on an attack against you, your Signal chats are still local and encrypted, how do they get in?
