It's definitely an improvement to figuring out which "Download" button on the Sourceforge page gets you the code rather than BonziBuddy.

On the surface it doesn't seem like a bad comparison. Out of work for weeks, potentially protracted recovery including possible long term limitations. What's the problem?

I think you're looking for a "gotcha" to call critics of the Trump administration hypocrites, but you will find that 1. people are never logically or morally consistent so this is a weak point in the first place and 2. A lot

It's based on the wording of a 1947 law, maybe it's time to change that law. I can see the need for clarity here though. Should employers pay their workers for time spent commuting to a job site/office? Can I live three hours

I think I've heard "the code is self-documenting" a hundred times in my career and it hasn't been true once.

Well, except at the beginning.

Well, most people don't have a family member who is an expert chef in hundreds of different cuisines and willing to cook up meals to order on a whim.

That must be 80% of people who have insurance and work full time. Something like 30-40% of Americans are on medicare, medicaid, or both.

Self defense is an affirmative defense, so the onus is on him to prove that he was acting in self defense, not the other way around. Anyway, it's a lot more complicated than this. I expect the prosecution to make the argument that he d

There are no gold-standard longitudinal studies on the impact of COVID because it's only been around for a year or so. There is a substantial amount of preliminary research on so-called "long haulers" and on indicators left b

It's not that they can't find new drivers, it's that the business model specifically relies on new drivers to make money so they want as many as they can get. The trucking companies finance the purchase of trucks by these fre

That's not the case. The Nazi party won only 37% of the vote in the last arguably free election (1932). They also didn't win a majority in the 1933 election, which the Communists were barred from and which was post-Reichstag fire

The U.S. actually does do this! The FCC alone spends more than $2bn annually subsidizing telecom infrastructure in rural areas. There are a number of other similar programs, and Ajit Pai (current FCC chairman) recently proposed another $20b

Your web server isn't written in Python either, though.

I'm guessing the problem with airships is that they're too slow. When they were popular (okay, 100 years ago, some things may have changed) it took multiple days to cross the Atlantic ocean. But who knows, if it's cheap and m

What's the evidence of this? Is the theory that there was a meltdown in Siberia or something where there aren't many neighbors to notice?

I'd like to know more about that 79% number. I would guess it's actually the case that PHP backends identify themselves as PHP far more than backends in other language x identify themselves.

Is that actually true? My state has well defined phases of reopening based on infection rates, and I searched for a handful of random states across the political spectrum and found similar plans in place. I don't really buy the power g

I'm skeptical that new retail investors are having such a big impact, but if there's data available then I could be convinced. If it is true though, then I don't see how it can last with so many of these new investor now bein

It's a culture war thing, it usually refers to LGBT or non-trad people/ideas/relationships. It's definitely pejorative.

I'm confused about this feature in general actually. Isn't the whole point of PHP's "simplicity" that each request creates a new interpreter process? So you're always in a "cold" state?

People were pretty worried about this, but so far there isn't any evidence that protests caused spikes in case numbers. Obviously there's a lot about the virus we don't know or can't fully explain, but the prevailing exp

As we used to say, "haters gonna hate". It used to annoy me but now I mostly ignore it. If other people don't see the value in technical novelty that isn't directly in service of making money or having enormous impact ot

The ACA has always hovered around 50% favorability and 40% unfavorability nationally, so "extremely unpopular" isn't accurate. Additionally, support among voters for Medicare for all is about 70%. The Tea Party predates the A

I actually see Ada/SPARK referenced pretty frequently in discussion with other Rust programmers, and I've been to at least one Rust talk in which learning from Ada was the main topic. Anyway, it's hard to blame people for loo
