This is a major point of contention between myself and my kith. We are all in agreement over climate change, broadly on social issues, economic issues, etc. The moment we start talking about specifics, the conversations get contentious: - E

I don't think they will be salvaged actually. I think we'll have a combination of less city friendly states not assisting at all leading to companies wanting to force office work in some "spilled milk" style fallacy. The

I'm sorry but you are betraying a myopic view here. Concurrency as a computer science concept has existed at least since the existence of co-routines which have been around for 60+ years. Parallelism as a concept has also existed for a

Rob Pike has a discussion on the distinctions between parallelism and concurrency. Concurrency is closely related to co-routines which are a distinct invention from threads/processes which are more related to parallelism.

Honestly though, you see a strong movement, especially on the right, to privatize and have those perks "pay for themselves" all the time. I've been to many state parks that require an entry fee, many city parks that require a

If Ted's ideas lead to the destruction of human lives, I think invoking the victims' experience is a valid point in the discussion.

I've found that the "reborn" person only lasts as long as you put into practice the new relevations. This requires thinking of actionable items, or behaviors to think on, but otherwise it's worked. This of course may jus

Given there are enough property owners, this is expected. But in the presence of a few property owners, the opportunity for collusion is higher because the opportunity cost of defecting is higher than the opportunity cost of not defecting.

I'll second hledger (well I use ledger but essentially same thing). To add on for others, importing the data can be done with CSV, but the software itself has a lot of tools that let you automate your imports so you can categorize expe

Thing is, North American cities are so spread out that even 3 stories would be close to an order of magnitude of improvement. Imagine if no zoning code could prevent a developer from creating up to 3 story, multi-unit buildings on standard

If Chile is undergoing a drought, are there not ethical considerations for prioritizing water for the benefit of the public rather than for manufacturing?

The important part is the "complete ownership of those rights". In the Soviet Union, a community had no rights and little power by ways of representative government to defend themselves. It's little different in the case of C

Once of the major lifts at my last job was going from Oracle to post Fred's. The speed procedures were the worst part of it all.

I think the comparison is totally apt and illustrates why Rust and Go get compared very often. They are both languages that compile to a binary, rather than running in a managed environment.

I fail to see how trying to eliminate race as a barrier to employment for a capitalist firm is neo-marxist. Saying black people are systemically oppressed doesn't lead to the democratization of ownership of capital. If anything, I see

Would just like to correct a common misconception: Houston technically has no zoning laws, but it has a combination of other laws that end up behaving similarly to exactly how zoning laws work. Giving you a link to City Beautiful which work

In some sense you have a race condition. By taking the item and misplacing it, you've caused a deadlock. Solutions are kinda the same: have a copy of the item for every person that might use it, or be strict about freeing all locked re

Why is the opposition to blame on this? There were dozens of articles written to explain the effect. Contrary-wise, why didn't their leaders explain the "unprecedented anomalies" themselves?

Unrelated, but I'm wishing to learn lisp myself. I started with Cloture since I have experience with the Java ecosystem. What resources do you recommend for learning Lisp?

One of the stated goals is to make html a true hypermedia language right? That's really pretty much it. A lot of these objections sound like "why bring these functions into JavaScript if JQuery already exists? Why do we need CSS G

I actually find that Go has the qualities of C that I like. Namely, simpler language constructs and no classes.

Just a small thing on my part, but LSD has helped me enjoy music much more in my daily life. Basically, listening to it while high helped me notice the patterns, rythms, lyrics, etc. much easier and I've been able to transfer that to m

For me it's simple. My hands are already on my keyboard, and I already have my terminal open. For most of my programming I use whatever Jet Beans IDE my company has licenses for.
