I think that's a strong reaction. Corporate damage control and prevention of profit loss will look pretty much the same whether they're covering something up or just correcting the record. If there's a threat to profits, an

It's different in that the JVM is not a compiler. It's a bit like suggesting writing CPython in Python. It's possible only if the interpreter's Python source can be compiled ahead of time, like PyPy.

I'm looking around, and finding that the effects are likely not significant, and may even be nonexistent. Inhaling smoke is entirely a different ballgame than eating brown butter. Any effect from eating browned foods seems to be minus

What's wrong with brown butter?

What's the alternative? A lottery? Sliding scale based on income? Sounds like more logistics for the purpose of intentionally losing money. Maybe people should give up on seeing extremely popular bands and check out more local music in

I came here to say this exactly. There's nothing more stressful to me than when a lot of freshly-written C++ compiles without error or warning on the first try, and then seems to run without issues. I get the distinct feeling that th

Why not just use a guest user for that, and have full isolation?

Busybox is the forefront example of this in my mind. Busybox is a single binary that provides a ton of POSIX utilities (including sh, awk, ls, cp, nc, rm, gzip, and about 300 other common ones), and these can be invoked with `busybox $comm

I'm fine with pursuing other projects, it gets weird when they end up spending huge amounts of their money by giving grants to other organizations. I'd have no problem donating knowing they use it to fund projects, but knowing tha

The G in GTK doesn't mean Gnome, it means GIMP. And XFCE is GTK-based.

Flash was never a web standard, there weren't enough independent implementations, it was proprietary only, and it had mountains of security issues. I agree with trying to not break the web, but the death of Flash on the web was great,

How do you separate which of these are bugs in Firefox and which ones are bugs in the sites that don't test against more than one browser engine? Reminds me of back in the day with the "works best in Internet Explorer" banner

What glitches? Can you be more specific?

It's hard to be sympathetic to a company that operates morally dubious amounts of data harvesting. If a program enables you to gain more privacy while using the internet, it's a moral good. I don't consider it to be stealing

I could actually work on it. Good luck getting any reasonable IDE experience, a compiler, a debugger, etc working on Android or iOS. Real image editing, the Godot editor, Blender, web dev tools, LMMS, etc. The most limiting bit about phones

Depends on the church in question. I know gay people who are accepted by their congregation, and churches that don't have issues with gay people at all. The biggest LGBT youth group in my city is organized by and hosted in a Christia

You should be using prepared statements and variable bindings. You should never have to parse any statement more than once (many dynamic language interfaces even cache statements for you, and many SQLite libraries also offer an interface fo

That doesn't mean that the optimal amount is nonzero. Taken in isolation, the optimal amount is clearly zero. The optimal amount doesn't change based on the cost, the optimal amount of effort to expend is a different answer. It&#x

Me too. I enjoyed weed recreationally for a long time, but I had to quit because it caused full-body muscle aches (and I experimented with many strains, CBD/THC amounts and ratios, edibles, the works). Any pain I have is more acute,

I've spent so long working with both 0-indexed and 1-indexed (I work with Lua a LOT at work) that it makes almost no difference to me, and I can switch between the two with usually no hiccups. Either one is something you get used to wi

Me. On every project that I need to compile for AIX. Not my favorite language by far, but it's pretty nearly the best choice on the platform, if you want cross platform code and don't want to fall into Java.

That's not how "doch" works. It's the German "though" and works to mean effectively "on the contrary" in response to a negative question. It doesn't work in response to a positive question. &quot

There being next to nothing positive so far from cryptocurrencies for the past decade doesn't make it hard for the media to "reprogram" the minds of the masses. It's easy to convince somebody that something is bad when

Yeah. Basically think a C++ alternative by C++ developers who are dissatisfied with the standards committee.

A problem being solved doesn't mean the current solution is inexpensive or optimal.

No. That's a frankly ridiculous strawman. Taking something somebody says to an extreme strawman is not arguing in good faith.

No it's not. Nobody is making a genetic argument at all. It's simple to find statistics that show strong correlation between crime rates and growing up in poverty, though, or between poverty rates and lower rates of correct contra

Yeah, and home cooks do billions of dollars worth of free cooking per year for their friends and family. The fact that something can be valued in dollars doesn't actually mean that it's wrong that it's being done for no mone
