I think TASM, isn't that difficult. I remember learning this in a university course and I actually quite enjoyed it. There are youtube videos out there.

But to be honest, just approach it like any other language.

- Learn the basic constructs (control structure patterns, loop patterns and instructions etc)

- Use it to solve easy problems (something like the easy problems in project euler)

- Just read source code to see how people use it in c/c++ programs.

In general TASM is pretty limited, but the knowledge you gain there can be used in other places which makes it worth it.

So what is the solution in your opinion?

Do we take Facebook away? The same problem will appear again in the next big social media network.

I do not know why people try going after facebook with pitchforks, when it is very much a people problem. One way to solve this would be to take anonymity of the internet away completely, but then people would

Facebook is just a platform, it isn't like there are a bunch of evil people sitting on a computer finding the most vile pieces of content and showing it to you.

It is what people seek, facebook just facilitates it. I am sure if google was to do similar studies on what people search for and how it affects them, it will see similar results.

I meant the article said that the actual disease confers greater immunity than a vaccine.

While that might be true, that immunity would only be good for one particular strain of the virus as opposed to the vaccine which provides you protection against a wider variety of strains.

One can argue that the protection from the vaccine is better in the sense, that it protects you from a wider variety of Covid strains.

Also, just so you know, that while the (mRNA) vaccine replicates protein, it is still your body and immune system which reacts to this protein and creates the antibodies.

So even in case of the vaccine, strictly speaking the immunity is natural.

This sounds conflicting I read somewhere else earlier today, that the immunity you get from the actual disease is tailored towards the specific variant/strain.

Whereas the vaccines (at least the mRNA ones) confer immunity against multiple strains.

Why do you think that the M1 chip isn't interesting enough? Other than that, their apple watches also have some very novel technologies. Also, their newer iPads with the M1 chip are processing power houses.

Why do you think that the existence of Gnome requires blame? I think gnome is one of the better FOSS projects out there.

These number are pretty crazy. Interesting to see people in India being paid so much while people in Pakistan aren't paid that highly, I think the highest I have heard of are around 300,000 - 350,000 PKR per month ( which is like 20$ K p.a)

Oh wow, that seems to be really dark, bordering on blackmail.

And to be very honest, if they were to take down the repo, I would be very surprised if it does have an effect on the immigration status of the author.

This whole saga leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'd be very careful in dealing with this company in the future, and might even consider dropping my subscription to them (or their parent company).

This is the norm in the south asian country I come from.

But ever since I moved to the EU, there have been no nets, then again there are noticeably fewer flies here too.

Of course, I made the comment in jest. But it certainly would be an honor for anyone nonetheless.

(if it did happen for real the most I would do is print out the commit hash with his name next to it :D, because he is one of the people I look up to in CS, others being Knuth and Tarjan among others, I would do the same for them, but then again I don't think they are active open source contributors)

Nonetheless, Carmack is still one of the most impactful programmer of the modern era.

Would absolutely blow my mind, I would even merge it without multiple approves. :D And add a new contributors section in the readme with John Carmack at the top.

> spacetime is quantized.

Doesn't that just adds more evidence for us living in a simulation, and not the nice kind either.

Would be interesting to see when the hardware is upgraded, physcists would suddenly discover that spacetime isn't as quantized as they initially thought.
