This paper introduced me to a new concept in system architecture. Thanks for posting it!

Does this imply that if we knew the total state of the universe, we could calculate its future state?

Basically, does this imply the universe is deterministic, or that we're living in a simulation?

Ah, I see. That wasn't explicitly stated in your original comment, so I was just wanted to clarify.

I think these are valid concerns about Svelte's future. However, you should give it a try and see if you like it regardless. Its got some neat ideas.

So are you saying that you're concerned by the lack of a detailed vision for Svelte, or that you're concerned with the behavior of the primary maintainer of Svelte?

Does it bother you the same way when grown women use the word "yummy"?

"How will people know the mannequin is female?"

"Put heels on it."

"Brilliant."

IMO, Bitcoin won't become a viable currency until it stabilizes, at which point it's no longer a viable investment vehicle.

There's a reason people don't keep the bulk of their assets in fiat current, but they also don't buy pizza with Microsoft stock.

> If you are under the panopticon, you are not you any longer. You respond to please others, not yourself. You are in fact a slave.

Under this line of reasoning, any level of societal participation is tantamount to slavery. I understand the what you're angling at and I agree to some extent; however, can you provide a viable alternative?

> Anything that enforces the hierarchical system, making it ever more restrictive, has blood on their hands in my view.

Society in and of itself is a hierarchy. Anything that contributes to society is therefore something that enforces the 'hierarchical system.'

You don't have to participate in society if you wish otherwise. The world could always use more mountaintop hermits.

TLDR: Opportunity is the most important factor in determining success.

I suppose any Turing complete language could. You could run DOOM in PowerPoint if you were masochistic enough.

Comedy? In MY serious thread? Not on my watch.
