Notre Dame du Haut looks nice, but it's also the worst looking religious building I've seen in France aside from a few other "modern churches".

I really like how they do their cookie banner. It's visible, very clear, but not too distracting, and if you just scroll down it disappears.

I would argue that it's ordered by a mix between popularity, need for those packages and ease of installing packages. JS and Python are around the same order of magnitude of popularity, installing packages is way easier in JS than in P

I think it's still widely accepted. What's not is trying to apply these traits to a single person, and saying that the differences are only biological rather than cultural.

Not really. Let's say you're sharing chores. It would make sense to ask if your partner is okay with doing a bit more chores while you prepare for a better paying job.

On the other hand, isn't it evil too to ask people to sell time of their life for less than they could have? Nobody has unlimited time on this planet. At some point you have to sell hours of your life.

Cheating works for me, because the addiction is not directly to the game but to the sense of accomplishment that I derive from the game, and often the anticipation too. Cheating removes that accomplishment and allows me to lose interest in

To be more precise, this is one of the thing we call "tacos", usually sold by small shops that will also do doner kebabs. But we also have "regular" tacos, sold by shops that are focused on mexican/tex-mex cuisine.

Your example is oversimplifying the problem, I don't think you're proving anything here. I've used tools that calculate cyclomatic complexity, and sometimes they're a good indicator, and sometimes they aren't at all

That is basically what is said in the introduction of the article: > Buddhism saw life as bitter, dominated by pain and suffering due to attaching possessions and material desires The "due to" seems to be saying the same thing

That depends on where it's used. For example, Rust's traits bounds are structurally typed, for exemple making a function that accepts a type that's Summary + Display. This "Summary + Display" type doesn't need

That is indeed another way to see things. What would be your suggestion instead, keep being exploited by assholes all my life? Unfortunately I can't run solely on moral high ground, so this is not really possible for me.

The "horrendous cookie banner by the EU"? I'm not aware of the EU making that much banners on the web. I'm aware of rules about cookies, and companies making horrendous banners to try to get around it, but that's it

Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't it make more sense to use data from older companies that had a few years to develop instead of only data from this batch? This model seems to extrapolate based on how you judge the compani

People in the workforce that get handed over a laptop with Windows usually don't have any control on it due to company policies, so this is a non-argument. For the rest, I doubt 99% of people actually "need" Windows. 50%? Pro
