It irks me that Javascript didn't just adopt the best parts of JQuery.

It is fact, not a feeling. How many of the roughly 1 million people dead in the last 15 years of the "War of Terror" ever directly attacked the US or US citizens?

Yes, this is true. War has been a constant for all of human history, so practically any technological advance can be attributed to warfare. Anyone who thinks that war is necessary for technological progress in 2018 has been drinking too muc

It's odd how a word can feel "on the tip of your tongue" and intuitions about its number of sounds and their characteristics can be remarkably accurate, especially if you consider the interposition of linguistically similar s

It doesn't load in Firefox or an older Chromium install. I guess programming isn't obsolete yet?

My ideal syntax for that expression is very close to yours, something like str.join(1..10, ', ') . Looking at our two approaches I noticed something -- yours has no space after the comma, and mine does, so how would Avail express

Yes, entrance to Angkor Wat could be considered a valid example of a foreigner tax (for those that don't know, entrance is free for Cambodian citizens). But I was more referring to drunken old men who think that their pineapple was ove

I live in Cambodia and I see this all the time from tourists and expats. It's actually stunning how nearly all of them parrot the same stereotypes about the country, even though they've barely spent any time here and have only rea

And if you're half way around the world and can't meet in person, people are really hesitant to work with you. I started out remotely with neither a compsci degree nor any prior experience at a tech company, and I definitely advis

It is known that Prince Bandar is one of the individuals who directly funded the hijackers. He was the Saudi Ambassador for 20 years and close friends with the Bush family.

I've noticed that too, is it only a Firefox thing? It's very annoying.

English text would be slightly more machine-readable (sentence segmentation) if everyone followed the period + two spaces approach, but alas. I personally think it looks better.

Yeah, but it's so easy! Why is that considered a hard problem? Just because most people are unfamiliar with tiebreakers in tennis?

It is a really obnoxious article, both in tone and content, and I have flagged it accordingly :)

By "debiasing" do you mean word sense disambiguation?

Wow, I have been in Southdale Mall in Edina, Minnesota many times throughout my early life but never knew of Victor Gruen. It does feel comfortable in a way, and I don't even like malls. Southdale is still a very high-end mall.

You're right actually. There were a lot of absolute statements being made, most of them contrary to what the actual evidence is. Ants pass the mirror test with flying colors -- 30 out of 30 scratched a colored dot off their heads when

Ants pass the mirror test, which is something very few animals are capable of.

Like always on HN when the topic is US militarism. This one immediately got 40+ upvotes and managed to last what, 30 minutes? What a disgrace. EDIT: same fate for this submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1683536

Tell them that it is completely impossible to set up rigorous controls in a study of ethnicity and intelligence anyway. The bigger question is why do some people care so much and why are they so focused on ethnicity among many other data po

There is TMSU for Linux among others. That's the only semantic file system I've tried, and around 10 years ago, but it was easy to use then.

Does a more accurate weapon really kill fewer people in every case? Even if the US government doesn't misuse it, the technology can always be sold to or hacked by some third party. It's also possible that when a weapon is deemed

Definitely, as do most of us. But that IMO is mostly attributable to the network effect and not to anything particularly special about Facebook as an application. An incumbent social network with mostly identical software, minus the spying

Huh, are you really this dense? Yes, they're criminals, because sex work is currently illegal (in the US at least). If it were not illegal, they would no longer be criminals. So how about we legalize it, then they won't be "s
