Ok well here's what I actually said. It's right up there if you want to take another look.

> At best they're just prettier versions of :) and :( and I don't see how they allow people to convey ideas they couldn't do just as well via text.

Never did I say "These are dumb get off my lawn!" I said they don't meaningfully impact or improve communication, which is in direct response to the person I replied to who said that they have "opened a whole new way to communicate."

That's a serious claim, I'd like to see a single coherent argument to show it's actually the case. But, no, all I get are mischaracterizations of what I said.

The debate is not "are pretty things nice", it's "have emoji's fundamentally improved communication".
Here's a bylined piece in Foreign Policy quoting Hersh directly. I assume you just weren't aware of it, when you claimed that what I wrote about his Opus Dei (CORRECTION! Knights of Malta! HUGE difference.) conspiracy theory was all second- and third-hand. I had to do serious research --- I literally spelled out Hersh's name and then typed "Opus Dei" after it into the Google search bar --- to find it.

Thanks, truly, for letting me off the hook as "some automatic spy/asset/plant". That definitely doesn't at all come across as the personal attack it clearly, obviously is.
The wrong thing about combining not-very-related things is that you're wasting your ire and offending ethical people at the same time. Great for starting an argument, not so great for convincing people.

BTW, your construction example is terrible. Unsafe construction worksites are illegal, and continuous integration and deployment of software is not.

> (And personally speaking on the subject of emoji vs common text shorthand, if I never see “lol” again it’ll be too soon.)

Funny, I feel the same way about emoji. I dunno, maybe I'm too autistic to get it, but when people use emoji it makes me feel like I'm talking to a child who hasn't learned express themselves like an adult yet.
> emoji generally does not require translation to different languages

Really good point. I don't find watching a keynote speeches about emoji at all exciting, either. But I work on a mixed-language engineering team with a lot of (extremely smart, highly literate) people, and we use emoji all the time.

Whether it's cold-sweat-face or thinking-face really helps me understand the nuance of my colleague's Japanese comments (which, btw, as a native English speaker with only fair Japanese ability, gives me a free opportunity to experience 'basic or lower literacy').

I know that adding emoji characters helps them in the same way, so I use them frequently.

Some of the puppeteer notes are effectively in the docs and quick starts. I've found puppeteer to be an absolute joy to use after years of phantom, custom scrapers, common scraper libraries, etc.

At a certain scale things obviously get harder but making your "sessions" ephemeral handles a lot of the resource issues.

The cat and mouse with people looking to block puppeteer access may heat up a bit too. But for the most part puppeteer makes doing this stuff 100x easier.

But only if it's the case that we end up with more than one theory which explains the phenomena equally well. That doesn't seem to be what ends up happening. We don't have an equivalent to GR, QM, Evolution, or any other well established, large scale theory.

Positivism sounds closer to math than it does science. And that's because nature is a certain way, which means you probably can't have equivalent theories at sufficiently granular levels.
This is a really great idea, but I wouldn’t have really got from the app listing and screenshots that this is what the app does.

I am not saying "full nodes don't validate the blockchain". I am explaining that full nodes (on both Bitcoin as well as Bitcoin Cash) don't validate historical blocks. This would take way too much time, and as I explain in the article doesn't really reduce trust in the software.

The debate is not "are emojis widely used". Yes, of course they are. The question is "opened a whole new way to communicate with each other", which is what I responded to.

I say, no, they haven't. I can convey the same emotions with ascii. I can convey the same emotions with written text. If you want to prove me wrong then fine, but don't re-frame the discussion.

I am all for Congress removing this as a benefit of S corps and simultaneously removing or significantly lifting the Social Security wage cap. That’s a thing I would vote for. Until it happens, though, people are going to continue doing this. Congress removed a similar dodge for C corps almost 80 years ago, so it can certainly be done.

S corps aren’t just used by consultants, FWIW. The structure makes a lot of sense for companies with lots of profit and more than owner employees, where the owners can justifiably claim they don’t generate all the profit from their personal services.

Really?

Pet rocks were wildly popular. Unhealthy foods are wildly popular. Cocaine is wildly popular (well maybe that's a stretch).

I think there's a correlation problem here. However, I think you're missing the point again; _what can I convey via an emoji that I cannot convey in ascii_? I have yet to see a single example, and that's what started the entire debate.
As somebody who actually bought the car, I love it. Originally I was in the market to get bmw x3 but i got rav4 instead 3 years back. Now after 3 years i wanted a self driving car but model s didnt make much sense but model 3 did.
The whole idea of "profit not generated from personal services" that are exempt from Medicare taxes is what's problematic. If you own a company and make six figures in income from it, you should be paying taxes on it as regular income. Medicare and Social Security already have a break for high-income earners --- the income limit you previously mentioned.

I don't know that we really disagree about any of this; I'm just ranting. It upsets me that people think this is legitimate and exploit it, or that "Mr. Money Mustache" would promote it.

Law of physics implies a casual relationship in nature. Saying there are no laws of physics is saying nature is acausal. B always follows A for no reason other than it just happens to do so in our universe. This is the Humean view of causation, which is constant conjunction instead of there being a reason that A results in B.

The plus side is that you don't have to deal with causality, which is a tricky concept. Hume persuasively argued that causality is neither empirical nor a result of logic. The downside is that all necessity is totally arbitrary. It just so happens ... As such, there is no reason for anything we observe. Just descriptions.
It's not fear. It's experience. Having to keep an extra OS and software patched and up-to-date (often times different to the rest of your SoE because it's different software) and keep it safe from real-world threats takes a lot of time and context-switching to do well.

Hosting anything well takes up a lot more effort than the $100+/month we pay to GitHub and even the $7/month I pay personally.
It's not obvious on its face, as it must be "properly understood" as you say. It takes years of education before people realize that the known laws of physics are just approximations or historically refined by discovering new details.

"conservation of mass" is either utterly trivial ("Nothing comes from nothing... except stuff that does") or has grown its asterisks over time.

All good points. I think brand marketers aren’t held to standards often because it’s incredibly difficult and expensive to do so. It’s not like you can’t just calculate a quick roas from your tv spot. I’d love for an easier way to measure branding. All I know of are brand lift studies (expensive), PSAs (waste of money at low spend levels), and attempting to segment other ways which is difficult long term with view through conversions.

Really? Because I can't see any real difference between any of those examples. Does the wink mean you're being sarcastic? Or that you're coming on to me? What purpose does the smiley serve? you already said it was fun, one could presume that would leave you in a positive emotional state.

> the kappa emoji [1] which originates from Twitch can be used on an English stream

I hate those stupid things so much, probably because I have no context for understanding their meaning and, since its already an english stream, you could just use words! And if you're not speaking the same language as the rest of the stream, you can't express anything meaningful enough to be worth saying anyway.
AFAIK some states have such laws, but apartment 120V charging will still likely be the mainstream in the short term. Especially as apartment dwellers are likely to live closer to work for example, not to mention the cost if every parking spot had it (there is even power sharing with EVSEs).
I find this an interesting point - in a lot of markets (i.e. I'm in Australia) you have to wait for an optioned vehicle to be delivered, and some have waiting lists. I believe some people waited 6+ months for their Subaru BRZ here..

except you don't really need that many. There are a few common emotions that people use... and then there are winky T-Rex emoji's that are completely unnecessary.
Causality is separate. Laws of physics (conservation/symmetry) are constraints, not causality.

"a+b=7" implies that "a=3 implies b=4", and "b=4 implies a=3", without regard to what causes the other, or what caused the law to be true.

Nope, glVertex3f was deprecated years ago by OpenGL itself. That is not the way the API works any more. [1]

Look into what it takes to write the minimum viable OpenGL program, written using non-deprecated routines, that puts a textured triangle on the screen. It sucks. On top of that, OpenGL is slow and gives you no way to create programs with smooth performance -- for example, it will randomly recompile shaders behind your back while you are trying to have a smooth frame rate.

1990s-style OpenGL was good for the time. In 2018, OpenGL is a pile of poop.

Microsoft might contribute to open source now and again, but their business model is actually worse than it was when everyone hated them. Now Microsoft is a surveillance machine like Google and Facebook, but they've also got enterprise captive audiences using their telemetry packed cloud and OS.

All this good will because they developed a telemetry packed browser-based text editor or finally started providing a not-dog-crap shell environment is stupid. Their binary editor is licensed like Chrome, who builds VSCode from source?

Both Google and Microsoft are doing a hell of a lot of embrace and extinguishing and I think that pattern will continue unnoticed as long as they keep devs happy with silly gimmicky pro-developer products.
What? You really imagine that they would delete private repositories belonging to competitors, to attempt to gain an advantage? If Microsoft did that they would be sued so quickly, and for so much it would be unreal. Additionally, there would probably be criminal charges. I just can't imagine a world where this is a possibility...
> glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); glVertex3f(x, y, z)...; glEnd();

That's fine for a "hello triangle" program, but quickly becomes ridiculous for anything approaching a serious engine. There's a reason that glDrawArrays() has been around since 1995 (and part of the core specification since 1997).

What else could be? The universe is outside our language(s) to describe it, so there's no reason to have only one isomorphic theory. The only alternative is to have two (or more) incomplete theories, but then combining them makes one "unified" theory.
Even in pure math, outside of physics, the same applies.

The only other possible alternative would be , what, one tiny theory that is essentially simple and minimal in every possible way, yet somehow models everything, in the spirit of ANKOS?
