I fear this is a problem that may never be solved. I mean that people of any intelligence fall for the mind’s biases.

There’s just too little to be gained feelings-wise. Yeah, you make better decisions, but you’re also sacrificing “going with the flow”, acting like our nature wants us to act. Going against your own nature is hard and sometimes painful.

Making wrong decisions is objectively worse, leading to worse outcomes, but if it doesn’t feel worse (because you’re not attributing the effects of the wrong decisions to the right cause, i.e. acting irrationally), then why should a person do it. If you follow the mind’s bias towards attributing your problems away from irrationality, it’s basically a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Great article.

This “directly” distinction you’re making is not very relevant.

Usually “direct” would mean that without it, it wouldn’t have happened. Yes, whatever broke the glasses would’ve happened without the glasses as well, but it likely wouldn’t have resulted in a scratched cornea. So yes, the scratched cornea is a direct effect of having worn glasses.

The JIT compiler of Java does the optimization you’re talking about. So that advantage of C++ is not really there.

You can compile C++ for all architectures you want as well. The reason you don’t normally use Java for clients is that the garbage collector runs at undefined times, causing stuttering. This has been rectified through new algorithms though, so the real reason why you don’t wanna use Java is because it simply doesn’t have the best tooling and libraries that C++ has, no Unreal engine and no Godot.

Why the fuck would you go for Backend in C++ and frontend in Java 🤣 just the wrong way around

Of course there’s a best solution… it’s whatever you end up with

Why do you have to reduce it to one? Isn’t it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?

Even with the external mind it’d be irrelevant. As long as we have no way of knowing the future or being able to predict it, having or not having free will is observed in exactly the same way.

I mean I was just giving a simple refute to the guy that said all is good if “no one” is harmed, not really debating perfect systems in society. Basically this

Almost always something “bad” happens though, someone is harmed… Someone rapes, you jail that person -> the rapist is harmed. Is it a bad process? Of course not.

It’s not about not harming anyone, it’s about harming the right people. Who we harm in what case is what almost all political discourse is about.

You can switch the whole program to English in the settings I guess?

Totally fair. Sounds fun :)

I just kinda wonder why when you’re in a browser or node, you wouldn’t just do

const json = {...};
json.friends.filter(f => f.age >= 18);

why learn another language when you already literally got the language to process JavaScript Object Notation right there.

I’ve been using that for all my JSON extraction and processing needs. Let me automate a bunch of my builds for JS stuff for FoundryVTT https://gitlab.com/foundry-azzurite/pings/-/blob/master/build/build.sh

If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.

If all those people that have money to build houses were forced to give it away (taxes), we the people (the government) could just build the houses and not charge exorbitant rent.

From Wikipedia

A landlord is the owner of property such as a house, apartment, condominium, land, or real estate that is rented or leased to an individual or business, known as a tenant.

So, I’d say you’re technically wrong :D

Ok, I guess that’s it then. Just didn’t make sense to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What is a wainwright?

Ja wir haben halt schon ein ziemlich gutes Leben insgesamt noch… Wenn Systeme so bleiben wie sie sind ist das zwar net gut weil Fortschritt geil wäre, aber joa halt auch nicht schrecklich
