@rauschma I have multiple ideas for small articles about the subject. The problem is to find time.

@rauschma I think, we can show how to infer all other subjects, like calculus, probability theory, statistics, trigonometry, complex numbers, geometry, classical and quantum physics from discrete mathematics, algebra, set theory and informatics. Then it would be much easier to learn because we can understand the foundation (informatics).

Should we start to write a book?

About content-addressable Internet https://medium.com/@sergeyshandar/what-the-heck-is-content-addressable-internet-55963c328b68

If I get just $0.01 for each download of my open-source software, I would work on different OSS projects full-time.

Boost NuGet package >6M.

@KirillOsenkov I use Copilot only to break my code, as a "find a bug" challenge.

@rauschma @thomasfuchs I think, that Mozilla should look one step forward into the future and provide infrastructure and services for the content-addressable internet. Unfortunately, most likely, it will not happen and we will have yet another boring platform with location-based proprietary services with vendor lock-in of user's data.

@TCatInReality @rbreich including social security tax. Also, social security tax should have no cap.

I saw Cybertruck today. Such a fantastic car is my Mazda.

@rauschma omitting parentheses is one of the nice syntax sugar I use in my JS code:

```js
const add = a => b => a+b
```

@timbray I'm afraid that we will have another organization that taxpayers will pay for. And the main beneficiaries are big corporations. It means, less support for independent developers. For example, if your OS project can get enough users, it will not be supported by the institution, and if it's not supported by the institution then it will not get used. In the same time, corporations can lobby their preferred OS projects to be approved by the institution.

IMHO, what we need, if corporations/companies/uses would like better quality support for OS projects they are using, then they should sponsor QA of these projects.

It's fascinating what I can do instead of what I have to do.

@rauschma I'm so tired of the platform-dependent EOL that I decided that all the files that I use are only `\n,` everywhere, on any platform (Git, text editors, my applications). My applications can read `\r\n` but they write only with `\n`.

The biggest problem for me is that files with `\r\n` have different hashes/checksums.

One of the mistakes I sometimes make when making a decision is to consider only the consequences of one choice.
For example, if I do 'A,' then I lose some money. And then I decide not to do 'A'. This's a mistake because I didn't consider how much I lose if don't do 'A'. #life #decision #gametheory #comparison

It was amazing! Thank you, #DakhaBrakha! #Seattle

@shivelysanders @oleksandr I need it so much! Thank you!

@mcc sorry, I'm guilty of not writing documentation of my open source JS libraries. Sadly, the writing documentation for the projects doesn't pay my bills.

@Hunterrules0_o asymmetric encryption. How is asymmetric encryption worse than passwords in privacy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

A very popular trillion dollar mistake is using passwords for user authentication.

@KirillOsenkov yeah, Boeing just needs more executives and managers with MBA in finance and less engineers...
