To truly understand and appreciate a language, I believe one must write these features first without a framework (that at least let's someone appreciate the point of a framework more). However, in this case, this is our own implementat

I work with Delphi professionally. And we maintain a code base of about 150,000 lines of Pascal and about 300,000 lines of T-SQL (written to work in both Sybase and Microsoft SQL). Delphi may be easy, but it's not simple. Once you ge

I definitely agree that IRC would do well to have improvements, like an IRC/2.0 protocol. But no one is willing to get involved, likely because A) they don't want to develop a standard no one will use, B) get bogged in draft comm

I apologise, I wasn't clear. I primarily use IRC, but I also use Bitleebee, but it isn't my primarily protocol(s). I just meant that I could combine all these protocols in one client. As for Slack's IRC gateway, I think i

I contend that my question was slightly snarky. As someone who moves from computer to computer a lot, having a unified client is quite critical. With IRC and Bitleebee, I can combine a lot of protocols in one client, keep it running in a

If you read the article, it's clear the user limit was a technical limit and not a freemium limit. So even if they did pay, Slack would still not have been able to accommodate all their users. Which leads me to my old-timer question:

I think the main difference is that `mkfile' doesn't exist on Linux? As far as I can gather, it's a Sun OS utility, that BSD has and therefore OS X. I've read that some Linux distributions have `mkfile', but it&#x2

Does the White House Petition website still work? I mean, I am surprised it is still up. Surely the new administration would A) not pay attention to it and B) simply scrap it to avoid maintaining it. As far as I understand, there is no le

Hope is not the same has belief or prediction. Nothing wrong with hoping for the best. I still maintain it's part of the 'complacency' we endure, because a lot of things are 'good enough', and when people are satis

My hope - perhaps naïvely so - is that President Trump will be the kick in our complacency that we so desperately need. Even if for all the wrong reasons. Both in the US and the EU.

That's assuming it has somewhere to go, i.e. escape.

Are you suggesting car manufacturers should forego airbags and seat belts because self-driving cars obviously would not crash? You do realise that someone else could still crash into you? Like getting T-boned in a busy junction.

The Anglo-Saxons lived in England before the Vikings arrived. So no, they are two distinct languages. The Angles and the Saxons came from Northern Germany, long before the Vikings decided to invade. The Viking invasion was significant, h

I am not going to leave the kids at home, hoping they get into the car and off to the daycare centre, so I am assuming you mean before I get to work. So that means I have to wait for the car to get back before I get to work? Wouldn't

Wouldn't people still have to get to work during rush hours? I contend that it would be a smoother experience, but would it really be significantly less cars?

Isn't that because the Tesla can see the brake light on the car two cars ahead? As soon as the red car swerves slightly to the right, and the brake light becomes visible, the Tesla brakes. Moreover, the speed of the cars before it ar

No, tips are not included in the price. I think you are confusing tips with salary. And tips in Denmark seldom tends to have any relation to the price of the meal.

Would it not be possible to start gradually? I am just speculating a plan here, but start by implementing some of these suggestions that can be applied on a state level in some minor states first. It may be easier to lobby those local pol

Good question. But considering that a vote is more likely to matter under a PLPR system, I would assume it does. The system doesn't grant people more votes or less votes for that matter. To summarise quickly: In district 1, parties

No form of government will ever be perfect. But while the coalitions and alliances of a parliament elected by a proportional representation system can change rapidly from election to election, it's actually the same system that ensure

I think Sir Humphrey said it best, 'no government would change a system that put it there'. While your initiative is well meant, abandoning parties is actually a step in the wrong direction. Because while parties won't appea

I think the problem with the US system is that there is too much emphasis on the President. The office is important, but it's not all powerful. It's not that the presidency itself needs to be available to more than two parties,

In the context of Denmark, Danish/Denmark uses the term »økologi« which is closest to 'ecology' in English.

You are saying that we don't do food better because it's more expensive? But it's expensive to you . The local purchasing power in Denmark is higher than it in the US. To Danish people (such as myself), it doesn't fe

There are some problems with this article. For one thing, it's from January 2016, and it mentions Food and Agriculture Minister Dan Jørgensen, but Jørgensen wasn't minister back in January, his government stepped down in June 201

I assume because no one in Ireland was doing it? It's clear Ireland has no interest in taking up the case. And who in Ireland has the time and money to take on both Apple and the Irish state in court?
