Technically you could use the same application (as in, same UI and features) across the three major OSs. (Although you could make the same argument for something written, say, in Java)

Just my two cents, as humor is as personal as any other topic, and just as dependent of the audience than as the author. I mostly had the same reaction when reading the books some 15 years ago. I won't go as far as saying that I didn&#

I have been living in countries where it's perfectly normal to live with your parents until you are married, which are no different in terms of sexual freedom (of freedom in general) or quality of life than the US. It sucks if it not t

I think he meant that in this context does not make sense for more than one value to be true at the same time , which is the reason you define enums this way, usually.

Thanks, I knew about the Gambler's Fallacy, but I really didn't make the connection (also since they are not really uncorrelated... :) )

How is this a logical fallacy ? Technically you would see the effect of your shot (i.e. too much to the left) and adjust your aim (more to the right).

It's a good point, and I don't really see an issue. After all, to this day gaming is distributed already between console/desktop/mobile, with each audience being large enough to ensure good profitability in every environ

Sorry to sound so negative, but it seems something halfway between an April Fool and some Kickstarter "scam" (possibly in good conscience, but still). Both voice recognition and translation are HARD problems, for which even compan

I agree completely, I'm just saying it's a factor that should be considered, like many others, when making a comparisons with other shells.

To be fair, the flattering comparison table should come with things like "Natively supported by the OS" or "Large community support", for which xonsh would obviously be at a disadvantage compared to other shells.

I find somewhat hilarious that the supposed harbingers of this "collapse" are staunch members of said "oligarchy" (an elitist billionaire and a career politician). Revolutions are not as they once were...

In general, "art" had a different meaning in past times compared to today. It was the subject of this very interesting excerpt by Knuth, recently posted by pg. http://www.paulgraham.com/knuth.html

That's one of the most level-headed and succinct description of the differences between Waterfall and Agile I have read. I would also add that, in my completely personal and anecdotal experience, they are not one-fits-all methods: in g

Maybe you should choose meetups for those of your hobbies that are not directly related to your career. I mean, it is likely that if you are a programmer you'll end up talking about work in a programming or startup meetup. It will be m
