I'm not sure I agree with the author here. I do understand the point, but it seems like a rather rigid and reductive understanding. Sure, if you're only ever responding with sarcasm it's going to have an effect similar to wha

This is how I've always understood it as well. It's probably not quite this simple, but for a couple of sentences, I can't imagine having a much clearer picture. Part of me wants to replace "post-Kantian" with some

Yeah, this is a good point. I still have a lot of friends from my youth that are pretty serious southern baptists/calvinists, and many of them genuinely believe that aborted babies may actually go to hell. They understand it's a s

I've wanted to try something like this (on a smaller scale), but haven't had time. It's good to hear of an implementation that reflects my expectations. How long did it take you to migrate over?

you definitely make some good points. i realized a few things i didn't think about after posting as well. i guess i was thinking more along the lines of, most of the time i personally don't think you should be choosing a preside

really though, what tangible value do polls provide anyway? i get that the polling over the last few years hasn't been great, but i don't really understand why everyone's so upset about it. did anyone actually make or change

I agree. Grid seemed great in theory, but in practice I almost never find myself using it. The number of use cases that flexbox doesn't satisfy is quite small, and the Grid syntax is a bit more tedious. It's just not worth the tro

So, anecdotally, my degree was in philosophy and math, but I now work as a programmer. Yes, semi-related, but coincidentally, really. And I think this is probably the case for you as well (at least, I would guess). This forms what I think i

I attended a private college. Not only did I have to live on campus for all four years, but additionally, they forced you to purchase the meal plan. I made most of my meals myself; nonetheless, I had no choice but to pay for the meal plan.

they are restricted from lowing their rates per the same 2006 bill cited above. in addition, they have to pre-fund their pension benefits well into the future in ways that other privatized companies would never do. the obligation is overwhe

for whatever reason (also probably a bad one), i hate the syntax of switch statements, and for that reason i almost never use them. the match expression though, i'm actually very excited about. i quite like the mapped look; it seems mo

I tend to agree with this. I found a lot of the arguments from the article for her being "African-American" unconvincing. From one perspective, I suppose one could make the argument that most "African-Jamaicans" would ho
