Not sure what point you're trying to make here. Some people want drama and arguments which do them and others no good. You are staying out of it. You're achieving your aims, making contributions that you think matter, and living a

At least this can point out some of the cognitive traps that they might not be aware of. Also this might help people around them recognize their problems and then try to find them help. When the awareness of depression is still not high eno

The 9360 might have been more decent but Dell fucked up the keyboard on the newest 9370. You can't type with a normal WPM or characters start getting jumbled up. Just get Carbon X1 or something similar (T480) in that lineup.

Quoting what I read somewhere else, people in both camps just greatly exaggerate the difference between Linux and MacOS. I've been using both for a couple of years and this year I made the full switch to Arch Linux + i3 on a Carbon X1.

That is a way of looking at it. Another perspective is that any attempt to deify a real human being is bound to be nonsensical, and we should always be wary of the complex human nature behind a carefully constructed "public figure&quot

This is also addressed in the original article: > Rosenkranz told the Guardian that although views like Einstein’s were prevalent at the time, they were not universal. “That’s usually the reaction I get – ‘we have to understand, he was o

Don't think that unwinding and freeing oneself of human mortality necessarily have anything to do with each other. I don't have any problem with human morality whatsoever. I doubt many atheists do. But one still needs to have bala

Foxconn and similar manufacturers are always the favorite topic for western media. But the reality is complicated. The bottom line is that in most cases there's no slave labor taking place and nobody forces those workers to stay there.

That has definitely been a commonly deployed trick throughout historical Chinese dynasties. However there are always two sides to it and nothing can be regarded simplistically, especially if you're talking about Xi's anti-corrupti

Does it really mean anything? I'm actually a bit surprised that the claim existed as far back as 100 years ago. The US had absolutely nothing to claim about Hawaii whatsoever, yet just marched in, drove out the original king and occupi

Depends on how you define "great". Haskell intentionally keeps itself off the mainstream. That has always been a deliberate choice. There are now already plenty of more practical functional languages, e.g. OCaml, F#, Julia, Elixir

My two cents is that I currently find Elixir and Julia to combine productivity and all the goodness from functional programming really well. Not sure what sort of backlash they'll get if they go more mainstream in the future (which I b

Not sure many people would think that "Ruby is the only language", and not sure what's your point there. From my impression, if somebody can decently do backend work with Ruby, then they're probably a better programmer t

Startup time has also been the biggest gripe I have with Julia so far. Otherwise it's a truly fantastic language to work in. I wasn't able to put the `__precompile__()` function to good use it seems - the time it takes to execute

IMO it certainly takes some learning curve to get up to speed with the keybindings and concepts. In the beginning anybody would struggle but after the learning efforts you'd find it to be much more productive than the other editors.

The private teaching industry does seem to be able to charge a lot of money, e.g. the coding schools and the (human) language schools. It's the research-oriented/public schools that don't have much extra money for teaching or

The adaptive brightness issue is fixed. But Dell messed up with the keyboard on the latest XPS 9370 and made it unusalbe for any fast typists. See the post at https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/XPS-13-9370-Keyboard

Exactly my case as well. Though I'd say I don't really find the keyboard much better than the MBP keyboard. Maybe it's because I'm used to using a mechanical keyboard in my workspace. But everything else surely is a joy

It's actually quite OK, with just some minor annoyances. Three scenarios for my use case: 1. Use the laptop screen only. This is easy. Just change the DPI value in my ~/.Xprofile and everything is solved. 2. Use external monitors

This is a complicated matter. I guess one important fact to remember is that the western mainstream media is never fair. They ignore horrible countries backed by CIA etc., as long as they are strategic allies of the west, and many articles

Exactly. Glad to see that many people out there still have their cool heads and see through the ideological nonsense and lens of extreme double standards that the mainstream government/media want to force upon their populace. After all
