Well the implication is that the parent assumed that the officer was racist against [ethnic group]. It's not a fact that that's who was stealing, it's an observation filtered through the man's biases. Not that I think it

If the parent didn't want to associate a group of people with stealing, they could have just started the quote at "gangs" and it would have worked just as well... But really, any reader who doesn't already have racial pr

It's hard to say that the majority of native speakers' usage is wrong, since right/wrong, to the extent that it's meaningful at all, is defined by popular usage. The argument that's the traditional usage is more use

Beta blockers aren't particularly bad for you, and as for the effects, from what I've heard, it's probably slightly more comfortable to be on them than not. As for the botox, that can be removed whenever, although removing yo

Because this is looking at median score. Lots of people submit PG links as soon as they show up, but only one or two of those submissions will make it to the front page. If more than half of PG links have a score of 0–5, then the median wil

I'm not sure I'm understanding your setup correctly, but is this what you mean http://i.imgur.com/dlheReA.png ? The browser area is tabbed, and only shows one page at a time, the terminals tile. Since my i3 isn&#x

If you want to use linux on the desktop, you have to buy your hardware with linux in mind. You don't have that concern with Windows because mainstream PC manufacturers need to support Windows to be profitable, but there's the exac

Vi is a standard not a specific implementation. There was an original Vi, but since it's a standard unix tool, it got cloned by everyone who ever made a unix clone after it was added to BSD. Vim can be invoked to conform to the vi stan

Yes, but you can't choose to use them exclusively. Neither Chrome nor Firefox make it possible to disable tabbed browsing completely, or even to hide the tab bar. There's currently no extensions that do it either.

Well I, for one, wish that my editor didn't have built-in window management functionality and relied on an external window manager. And I don't use the window management features of multiplexers, although I did before I used a til

Why would anyone want to pay to put an article on medium? They had better offer quite an impressive array of discovery features if I'm paying them to use a service that gives me less control over my own content than I would otherwise h

Honestly when you already have to keep track of JavaScript's other gotchas, having to remember to look for likes that start with ( or [ and precede then with a semicolon is not that much to ask. It seems silly anyway, but not particula

What the parent was describing isn't HPPD, which involves sensory disturbances, usually minor optical hallucinations, and is mostly limited to people who used psychedelics heavily over a long period. The parent probably experienced the

The rich are just suspicious of the poor. They trust people from similar backgrounds as themselves. Employers irrationally think they can gauge a person's trustworthiness just by interacting with them for a few hours during an intervie

It doesn't matter if the mutations were there to begin with. Even when the mutation occurs after a change in the environment, it's not the change in the environment that caused the mutation, mutations are random. What matters is i

I don't know if live reload is widely used or not, but the other features of erlang allow you to create systems that see decades of uptime. But without code hot swapping your uptime is limited by how often you ship new code. Typically

Well obviously threads aren't always running at the same time since each cpu can do only one thing at a time (or a finite number, if we're counting hardware threads) and you can have more threads than cpus. It's the fact th

You can't really achieve Erlang's goals with a statically typed language, at least it would be very hard to make it easy to intuit whether a live reload will be sound. A language that allows mutable state aside from at process sco

I know you weren't aiming for maximum accuracy in your definitions, but I think this is worth bringing up. Parallelism and Concurrency are not mutually exclusive terms. All parallelism is concurrent. Concurrency is whenever more than o

I think you might be underestimating Erlang's performance. Running on the same single machine, Erlang's perfomance is comparable to python on benchmarks [1] [2]. Its performance obstacles aren't really that different from sch

There are more concerns than performance. The choice of C here is a philosophical one. Vis seems to come from the same school of thought as the Suckless projects, where the unix design principles are worshipped. People who are interested in

I'm a little concerned that this experiment could attract the wrong kind of behavior on HN, and bring in new users for the wrong reasons. I'm excited to see how this goes, but it will be quite a shame if the quality of regular con

Most windows users who know how the filesystem hierarchy works probably never see a file path. Windows explorer doesn't show the slashes, it shows some kind of graphical blocks by default. They do see slashes in their web browser thoug

That's what mutt is. You can compile it with support for imap and smtp, and most packaged versions of it are built that way, but the traditional way of using it is just as way of reading and sorting emails. Fetching emails from the ser

You'd think, but the shift from desktop apps to web apps happened concurrently with the rise of mobile apps. It doesn't seem that users think of mobile and desktop apps the same way.
