Does that work for you? Meditating? Do you have any more specific advice you'd want to give someone who would like to be at peace with the thought of it?

Ocaml is probably the fastest compiling language I've ever used.

Is it just me, or is that openxcom site down for everyone else, too?

If you were inclined to try again, I'd start here: https://dev.realworldocaml.org/install.html for installing the basic compiler and tools: essentially, use your OS package manager to install opam, and then use opam to

That isn't strictly true of the latest version of Real World Ocaml. Most of the examples in the book use Base instead of Core, which is a lot more lightweight.

Ammonium nitrate does not require fuel to be explosive: it's explosive on its own, fuel just makes it more efficient.

Uh, he was saying they should be used in this instead of C.

That video cuts off the best part, where he says "Godspeed".

In that case, maybe self-insuring needs to be made completely illegal, given the horrible incentives it creates.

> common widespread use of porn from age 10 and upwards This is a thing now? Can you expand on this point? I mean, I shouldn't be surprised due to its widespread availability, but I still am.

Leaks information about the voice stream. It's not inconceivable that a well trained algorithm could recover sentences from the transmission pattern, although I don't know for sure if it could do quite that well.

They have pledge(2) and unveil(2) instead.

What could possibly be considered weird about that? How could anyone consider slow killing to not be worse than sudden death? They're both death, but one is much worse. It's much more weird to be talking about suffering and slow d

There were other options besides just those two. Japan at the time would have accepted any peace agreement with just a single clause: that the Emperor would not be executed. Anyone else could be. This was a reasonable agreement to make sinc

This has already been explained to you, over and over again. The alternative is not to close down the business. It's to make it so the business owner doesn't have to pay anything during the crisis, except supplies for himself, s

> If the landlord defaults, the banks (presumably) will repossess the property As others have pointed out, this is not what any of us are saying. Those debts are paused too. The loans DO NOT work, because most of these businesses are bar

Far, far, far better. In fact, it's the only thing that might actually work . All this talk of loans is just people refusing to admit that a capitalist system (I hate saying that word) simply doesn't function under these conditio

I don't understand how a program like that, paying just the workers, is going to help when the business they work for still goes out of business. It needs to be suspended payments for everybody: the renters, the landlords and homeowner

That's not what he said. He didn't say, "give everyone $1000 towards their rent or mortgage". He said, temporarily suspend all rent and mortgage payments. As in, nobody pays any of it. Recurring expenses are what's

by GeorgeWBasic 7y ago
I think his point is that it's a pittance of an interest rate and the bank paying any less than that is basically stealing your money.

If you're okay with Google tracking libraries, why not just use Chrome instead?

by GeorgeWBasic 7y ago
Almost! But not quite. Extensions work fine on mobile Firefox and battery life and performance are improved when ads are blocked.

They don't typically complain, but when asked, it's common knowledge among all the programmers at work and all the ones I know. Google can't be counted on. Furthermore, it's tech types who make the decision to use GCP or

Did you really feel the need to criticize the poster, instead of the post? It's not just a meme, it's reality, and a result of how Google is run. People create new services to get promotions and then abandon them. With no recognit

Zen 1s are plenty fast. They're just not as fast as Zen 2s. The first generation 32 core Threadripper was the fastest CPU in the world when it was released, and that wasn't that long ago.

I recall reading that discussion when it was first posted. There was something I didn't understand at the time, and now that it's brought up again, I want to ask: He mentions there being a fairly short window in which an ENT physi
