And what about facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube... NATO are losing their control in propaganda and they are afraid because they cannot spread its disinformation through tiktok.. This is not a justification to adictive social media but their hypocrisy is unhideable


You should really read the article first next time, not just the headline.


I have read the entire article, I don't understand your point.


If you had read it, you would know it has nothing to do with content moderation but with the rewards-based activity system.


NATO has nothing to do with technology regulation.


If you don't understand geopolitics, then no


One country with 1400 million people


It seems like a distraction to focus on this problem instead of organizing to reduce carbon emissions from car factories, the food industry, shipping companies, etc. Which are the ones that generate the most emissions on the planet... I read in an article that a Google data center alone consumes about 169 liters of water per second. And are we going to start optimizing our code to stop global warming? Just ridiculous


Is that a lot?

Google states their data center water use in terms of "golf course equivalents" which in my opinion is an excellent way to frame the issue.


That's interesting and clever. Can Google using reclaimed water in their data centers?

edit/ According to a blog post they made [0] they use up to 25% reclaimed water, which is probably better than golf courses, too.

I don't understand why you can't understand it, the 1% are accumulating endless wealth, while the 99% are working for the richest 1% of people. The 1% believe they are a kind of avengers who can solve the world's problems, they even believe that they are above intellectuals and scientists to solve the world's problems, but they only solve their own problems, not the world's problems.


And where is Category Theory and Lambda Calculus?


lambda calculus is one way to describe computable functions. this course chose to focus on Turing machines.

category theory is historically not important to theory of computation, and it has questionable use if you aren't familiar with abstract algebra


Your article made me laugh, it's exactly the process a full-stack programmer goes through when learning new technologies, it's one rabbit hole after another.

At first I was very stressed with each new rabbit hole that appeared, but over time I found a joy in learning new things all the time, but as you gain more experience, the problems become easier to solve.


That is exactly the same thought i has some time ago, i write a very small notes about it:

https://github.com/FabricioTeran/Micro-Nations

This article is much more elaborated.


Why is this article in pdf? The same article in a webpage will make it more accesible and easy to read.

The code listings are not formatted all that well by latex2html, but at least the prose is easier to read

Generally, lots of academic writing is done in LaTeX because it’s nice for managing references. The incentive to develop and use better tooling for this kind of writing is not really there because of the momentum of publishing in journals etc


I hear the term "threadset" in other discussion about structured concurrency, i think "threadset" would be a better name.


regarding search engines, i find andisearch.com as better option for some cases (working as a software engineer)


>better option for some cases

Can you tell us more about the kind of problems for which you receive better search results via andisearch.com?


For general search, andisearch and google gives you the same results... in andysearch i don't need to try 10 different combinations of the same sentence to get the expected results like in google, in andisearch i get the expected results almost at the first try (sometimes at the second one) for very specific searches.
