your statement was thus: > I'd wager that people making these claims probably _do_ have this as a risk, for good reason. why do you think they have this as a risk? why for good reason? why do you wager this situation? your phrasin

not everyone shares this aggressive need for touching that you seem to be describing. if human beings matter to you, hopefully you can see this.

this mindset seems a bit like a 'if you have nothing to hide...' view on privacy. they're only concerned because they're villains?

> Basically, it's irrational to try to cover up or ignore harassment in the vast majority of cases. how did you reach that assessment? this would seem to only apply to behavior that was openly visible and recurring.

how does one become 'cleared of accusations'?
306.
by abiox 9y ago
presumably, the rate of male v male harassment accusations is very low (at least relatively), and as such doesn't much play into risk aversion.

i think that to many this is almost comically reductive, if not an outright red herring. (not that 'the feminists' is a super useful term.)

i suppose it depends on there being a similar circumstance. if accusations of interpersonal 'racial harassment' became more regular, you would probably see a shift in behavior with some people going out of their way to avoid &#x2

it could be some combination of planned obsolescence and worse-is-better at play.

generally, asking "why am i paying for X if it doesn't..." is effectively saying "the value proposition seems poor to me". it's colloquial and generally rhetorical (or semi-rhetorical).

> Uhh, because paying several hundred people for the 2-3 years to make a AAA game costs money i took "why am i paying" to be a question about the value proposition. in that case the "business model" isn't terrib

seems to me that google cultivates a relationship with whoever they see has influence. same as everyone.

are you suggesting it's similar, or that it's a fork, or something else?

One does not simply "just use Rust".

if you read your link, even the wikipedia article authors do not restrict the notion to hard realtime computing. it's not really how "everyone" uses it. it's a narrowing that a subset of vocal people have been trying to

sure, for a closed-source language that you have to pay for, you need to have a very high confidence in the source. for a closed-source closed-specification language, it seems quite a tall ask, imo. it would have to be something really am

by abiox 9y ago
this is a narrow and arbitrary definition of "systems programming". you seem to be describing something closer to hard realtime computing, which is not the same thing.

how should i interpret this information?

by abiox 9y ago
how much of this would you attribute to the stdlib and popular libraries, vs the language itself?

it's unfortunate how bad some tooling is in the c++ world.

are there insurmountable technical constraints there, or could it be resuscitated?

i don't think it does. as the gp said, nobody is forcing you to use something with square wheels. the problem isn't electron, or electron developers. it's much larger than that.

by abiox 9y ago
personally, i feel that "X is cancer" is a gross and callous sort of language to use. i agree that electron is a suboptimal choice for a variety of reasons. however, one should probably ask a) why aren't these electron-based

if you want "50/50 fair coverage" wouldn't that require "50/50 fair source material"?
