Obviously I commented because I think otherwise, based on my interest in history and semantics of the subject, I explained why. Just telling me I'm wrong hasn't changed my opinion, but thanks.

It's unfortunate hyperbolic use of 'revolution' has kind of muddied and made the term less relevant. A revolution should mean a fundamental change of political system, not change of political power. Going from monarchy to soc

Fortunately, the impact is not major enough to prevent me from being a happy MBP user.

Your experience could be fact, but in about 10 years of using MacBooks for work, it has effected me about 2 times, yet I had way more issues with sound/graphics/sleep/projection/skype/internationalization on the Lin

I realized that after the other comment. So, to me, at least, t's better to just explain the error, regardless of how banal it is.

I don't understand, why are people downvoting comments like yours without any explanation for those without the background on this :\

Every time I start using a d3 library I get stuck and end up rewriting with my own code, without stuff that I don't even need, and with all the particulars that I want. Even in react. But, I often search for examples, so thanks for sha

Why would they be stating the number? How can they know if they intimidated or prevented attacks by mere existence? Statistically, mere police patrol presence reduces crime, which is not directly related to detective work. But, TSA is kind

Do you think they would actually be doing a good job if you (public) knew about the instances surveillance helped? If you were tasked with catching terrorist, what would you do?

This is a correct approach from a developers point of view, however, it is out of scope from the operators point of view. You can always improve your software stack as a developer. These are not exclusive, and are different, should not be c

A former spy switched sides and worked for the other side exposing agents and whatever else MI6 deemed worth paying for. What would be your (or anyones) decision as head of state? Of course if a country being attacked, a leader is disliked

Thanks for stoking the fire of my curiosity.

Depends on whether you think better precision with worse accuracy due to highly exaggerated lows is better than worse precision but better accuracy.

Looks like an interesting paper, but I can't find any source code.

Well, that would be kind of hostile of PyPy, I really don't see that happening. I'm still quite curious what is your use case for PyPy where it is such a god send? I don't enjoy C, but it's just been so rare that I had t

>That's the point to PyPy. You get fast speed of development and fast CPU performance. Best of every world. That's why we use it and not CPython. It's already bigger than you think. What you use it for, where you need the

I wish this was updated. I thought I'd check some things in python, and slide 37 about Python not treating characters as smallest units does not apply anymore. This seems valid: Python 3.5.0 (default, Sep 22 2015, 12:32:59) [GCC

Yes. Even part of my pretty standard CS curriculum included electrical engineering (breadboard to ALU), assembly (self hosted interpreter/vm) and language theory (C clone) courses. With a bit of time I or my classmates could build a co

With the growth of any science and industry, there is depth of specialization. The overall expertise is not decreasing, it is increasing, and the breadth has to give.

This very reasonable. Movies, music, art, can't be reduced to a single numerical score. In this sense no rating 'should' be trusted, but instead we need to make choices based on entirety of context. Seems trivial, yet we alwa

Yeah, I understand they choose symmetry and geometric simplicity over ergonomics, and the mouse isn't intended to fit into the hand and be comfortable to hold. It's still amusing that they tell everyone that the beautiful log is a

I do love my Apple keyboards, trackpads, but I could never hold their mice.

I'm not missing that point. What I find highly amusing is that no one I know, including myself, will be able to hold the mouse long enough to appreciate the new sound. I could be in an isolated world of DeathAdders and Zowie addicts, b

This is very important to establish every time there is a discussion, in that there are politically convenient labels, and there are what we can consider terms that are useful to further the argument. The terms capital-ism and commun-ism re
