> i still dont get why people on here are so racist.
Because high ingroup preference ("agreeableness") exists and for some people, "us" is a race; increasingly, the "us" is political rather than racial or religious or regional.
The really high agreeableness is also the reason people have difficulty with $ingroup having $outgroup trappings, so you have the nazzihs getting upset over a honkey that thinks they're retarded, etc.
> is it that hard for you to judge people based on their individual merits?
I forget the name of the guy that wrote the major book on sales (and I also haven't read the book), but one of the things he emphasized was likeability, as he observed (correctly) that people will make most decisions based on their emotions and then rationalize after the fact.
> seems like a form of mental retardation
You're not going to wipe out instinct and temperament by reasoning for the most part, and aside from that, you're reasoning from a different set of premises than they are. If you don't understand that and you think that your axioms are the only ones that are reasonable as a basis for your morality, then you will think they're stupid.
Race is a heuristic; it's a bad heuristic but it is a heuristic, and this is the reason for the apparent contradiction: higher IQ people have a greater tendency towards racism. (Another potential explanation is that intelligence and heterodoxy are correlated and the orthodoxy is currently very anti-racist.)
Counter-intuitively, racism is positively correlated with exposure to other cultures. Students that were sent to Mexico as part of their study of Spanish had lower opinions of Mexicans than the other group, which spent an equivalent time learning about Mexican culture. I suspect that this is a matter of temperament and that it just doesn't find expression until exposure to $outgroup occurs.
So, you know, I think the evanglistic racists are annoying as shit and I don't agree with their worldview, but why *shouldn't* they be racist? Different set of premises. Some people (the Hitler-humpers) treat "race good" as an axiom.

Because of the reworking of the on-disk format, garbage collection is going to be trickier (still doable), but the bulk of the data can be dropped without any ill consequences besides it taking a while to retrieve from the network when you need it. The minimum amount of storage is less than a meg; you can run a memory-only.
The point, though, is kind of that you don't need to run a big instance on a server, you can just run a peer. There are going to be a couple of bigger peers to ensure there's some redundancy in the network and there are voluntary self-classifications that are more or less designed to advertise yourself as an archival peer that will take anything and never toss anything versus a machine with no permanent storage and steps between (probably just one step between). -

> its cargo system which is very convenient
I must have been using a different cargo system for Rust. -
pistolero (p@fsebugoutzone.org)'s status on Thursday, 21-Nov-2024 10:06:19 JST pistolero @Yoruka @ins0mniak Only if your model of writing a makefile is based on the GNU toolchain and autotools. Ten or fifteen lines of build targets versus an entire terrible rubygems-like monster, and then dependency hell? I mean, I had to uninstall Rust and reinstall it because the new version couldn't cope with the old version being installed at build-time and if I didn't have the new version, cargo fucked itself, and if I couldn't get cargo to stop fucking itself, then I couldn't get Firefox to build. It's like an ouroboros combined with the human centipede. -
