Ya, I've been enjoying it :) I was worried you hadn't based upon your previous comment. I'm sorry I haven't returned to this yet, but will soon I promise. I think we should try to find out where we have agreement and w

Nice, you're back. > I can for example show that a surge in the population of rabbits on a small island 'predicts' a surge of the population of their main predator. That's the island ecosystem predicting a population

I hope you don't mind, but I'm only going to address one thing right now. If the conversation continues, I will continue to discuss more with you. Lets start with (A). You are correct, the way I described it does not explicitly

Thanks so much for responding. I agree that a significant cause of our disagreement is definitional. I'll get back to you either later this evening or tomorrow with a response that your comment deserves. For now, there is billable wor

Every time I start writing a response to this, I can't help but feel it will simply be misinterpreted. I thought my original response was pretty succinct and clear. If you'd like to continue, please select one discrepancy and I&

The problem with building arguments around human nature is that just about everything is human nature. Greed... Altruism... * Edit for clarity * So it can be invoked to justify almost any argument involving human behavior.

AI is just a subset of intelligence. You absolutely can describe capitalism as an intelligent system since it is primarily made up of units (people) which are intelligent. If capitalism didn't have a coherent behavior, then how could

He's not making an argument for less capital. I think he needs to clarify his definition of productivity.

Are you still working at the job that is imposing asp.net web forms on you? If so, maybe you could make an argument to adopt new technologies there while keeping your large pay check. If you make a business focused case for adopting new te

Flex! fantastic. I have no opinion but am curious about why you bailed on Less and committed to Sass. If you see this, can you explain?

What a difficult question. I think it's confusing for the same reason that there are so many options, we don't know what the future will be. All I can tell you, and what most people will be able tell you is, what tech we are expl

Just make sure you get better as you get older and make sure to cultivate relationships based upon mutual respect. Work should be guaranteed provided our economy is strong enough to sustain it.

In its simplest form the internet is just a bunch of computers connected to each other. So, if you are looking for a place where people can express themselves without the fear of repercussions, all you need is anonymity. You don't nee

Oh nice, ya, I didn't address the Lagrange point because I didn't have any knowledge of it.

All you can take away from the moon passing over the sun's reflection is this. The moon crossed over the sunlight reflected from the earth. To create a shadow, the moon must cross through the light emitted from the sun. This image mig

When the moon casts a shadow on the earth we (on the surface) experience it as a solar eclipse. For these images, the moon is not directly between the sun and the earth, so it cannot block sunlight from hitting the earth. So, no shadow.

Front-end is crazy, so I can sympathize with the author's desire to use it minimally. I think if this really is your perspective, and you are waiting for the front-end chaos to settle before investing heavily in front-end development,

Video games can be good. Video games can be bad. Specifically pertaining to minecraft, I've never found a game that has the potential to offer so many educational experiences. You can start off stacking blocks with your kid. Fast forw

The problem is you break the cascading part of CSS. So if you include someone else's react components, you have to do any modifications to the styling either in some config file they provide you, or by extending the component and modi

This is a very elegant and magical solution. My problem is with the react community's position on maintaining css in JS rather than in css files. I'd much prefer to see the problems that the JS managed css solves handled during th

I wish I had a better answer, but I honestly just stumble around it. I typically start by trying to understand how they structured their files, then I'll start diving into the code. I wouldn't try to "understand" it co

It sounds like you are more interested in design than the implementation of it. For great looking buttons/fields you just need to be sensitive to font selection, padding, borders, & colors. 1) Refer to apps / sites that you th

What I have done is to pick milestones that must be met in order for me to continue. I too share your emotional frustrations and depression. For example, my family recently fell apart. So, figure out what would need to happen in order for

Very clean and simple implementation. I like the idea of returning true and not truthy. So anything that !== true should be considered false. Well done!

Ya, it's really not me that has the problem with it. It's more about trying to find out if there is a rational argument to change my partners opinion.

by Sakes 12y ago
My partner and I would need to be on the same page to move forward with an application which is why I was trying to get a better understanding of how that scenario plays out.

What I assume you are implying is so oversimplified, I'm not even sure how to respond.

Many good points. I can't argue for or against you about resource allocation because I have no idea what resources are available. I can't even argue for regulation, because I know so little about the current landscape. But I ca
