the earth pulls the ball down.

Not in Australia, though

Affecting passage of time looks like a difficult idea to come up with an analogy.

For the better gravity analogy, I think a rubber sheet that has something pulling together at a "gravity well" and lines drawn on it may work better, but I'm not sure ๐Ÿ˜…

If you use phone to carry explosive, and a separate device to direct the explosion you can cause a lot of (directed) destruction.

But maybe not crash the airplane as a result.

Next thing we're going to do is what, not crediting Hitler?

I downvoted because the fact that issues exists doesn't justify the proposed "solutions". It's like saying that bloodletting has a point because patients really were sick, those things are not causally related.

I think that even having no one talk about problems is better than having someone talk about problems to actively do harm and gain power. One part of my reasons is usually this is not the case, and some already talk about the same problems but are not heard. Another reason is that when a problem is widely spread and there is no one exploiting it or raising awareness, there exists a pressure to start doing just that. So even no one is better than Tate.

But now your comment is just "here's 10 hour read that explains everything, I will not elaborate" like in this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/26206134

You can at least leave info about what it should explain, at best you can summarise, but it is possible that you will not persuade people to read that.

From the wiki page, it looks like the idea behind the book is viable, but nothing is scientific about it, no research, no further developments, it's just how the author sees the system work. This may be insightful but should be taken with a large grain of salt

Good point but why "no bowling ball on a trampoline nonsense"? That's not a correct analogy, since it deforms "space" different from how gravity transforms space, but it's good enough to understand how that works, I think

Yeah, this happens way too often "it's all in here (link), but I will not elaborate"

So I who am careful to write readable and safe code

I just want to point out that it's hard to be sure your code is readable if you don't work with a team. More than once I saw people write "readable" code that was not readable. My own code I deemed "readable" was in fact not, as time had shown when I returned to fix something. So, the cited part looks a bit arrogant ๐Ÿ˜…

All heil Rust-toad

Rust is a bunch of great pieces that don't fit together well.

That might change over time.

Down that path C may become somewhat of an intermediate representation language for binary interfaces. No one would write it by hand, and maybe for the better
