You're right - socialism is much worse than racism. Socialism (actual socialism, not "social democracy" aka capitalist welfare state) destroys countries (eg North Korea), while racism is merely a moderate problem (eg South Ko

git doesn't necessarily handle large binaries well (less true in recent versions). Also, when using Maven (etc) you can upgrade libraries just by bumping up the version # rather than hunting down the new jar manually. You can also use

With Maven you specify the versions of libraries, jars are cached locally, and you can run your own local Maven server if you need to.

You can get a vigorous chaotic motion going with a high top mass, low bottom mass, and high angles.

In Resistance you're essentially forced to lie if you're one of the spies, so people are less likely to take it personally.

Amusing how modern the guy in the last image looks - demonstrates the (partly) cyclical nature of fashion.

I can't find an example on Google right now, but I've seen demonstrations that it's possible to visualize the intermediate layers of a neural network - for example you can see how an image recognition network is first breakin

There's also been a fall in other Western countries that don't have the same level of incarceration.

Looks cool, but I'm a bit confused about the colorized examples. It seems like in some of the examples, there are blocks that are colored red that are further away in maze-distance than other blocks that are green, etc. Do the colors r

Those are tactical considerations and have nothing to do with the general liberal attempt to make the entire line of consideration verboten. Liberals would have it that we should pretend that such considerations don't even exist, which

Ah, good old Whig history. Well, as we can see from the rise of the Right world-wide and of neo-Reaction among thoughtful people online (hey, I used to be liberal too, you know), you may not be on the 'winning' side forever. So tr

What substance? What you posted didn't deserve anything beyond a simple, "that's not true", but it was transparently bullshit.

You explained why it's illegal, but I don't agree with the reasoning. I don't believe the government should be interfering in this kind of thing at all to begin with, but this is a particularly stupid example where something

It's obviously a reasonable question and the fact that it's illegal to ask is outrageous.

I agree - for me, immutability is much more about making code easy to reason about than it is about making it parallelizable.

Idiomatic Scala uses a lot more RAM than idiomatic Java, at least in my experience.

I love(d) Adventure Time but it's (IMO) suffering from the same problem as many good American shows, which is that as long as it's profitable the network keeps it going even after it's run out of creative steam. I'm sure

I'm sick of all these software engineering articles which are so vague and give no numbers, no hard evidence, and not even any very specific anecdotes.

I agree - in particular, for advanced Scala libraries it can be hard to understand the source, which can make them hard to use without thorough documentation which is often lacking.

Java hate is overblown, but compared to say Scala (I have professional experience with both) it makes a lot of relatively trivial things (like basic data-holding classes and operations upon them) more painful and verbose than they need to b

User game reviews are pretty worthless due to the trend of angry users spamming bad reviews to punish the developer whenever they're upset about some small thing.

This seems more like a test of mouse movement speed than vision. Probably depends heavily on monitor calibration though.

The predictive test wasn't replicated - that doesn't sat anything about the original observation.

You realize you can define your own types, right?
