There are plenty of states where that's basically the system that are a mess, if not as bad as in California. The devil is in the details of how the post-privitization market is regulated.

The number one thing you can do to help them is talk to them about being conned / scammed. That's by far the most likely way for them to get victimized online, and the only way that's seriously affected anyone I know. Since t

So why haven't you done that, one of the times in the past you've thought this? All the reasons you haven't are why everyone else doesn't either, so that's why it's the proper exchange rate.

This is awesome! I've been near a few of these spots. However, some, at least, of their data is out of date. For the Adirondack High Peaks complex, much of the Tahawus Tract, which bounds the circle on the southeast side, has been offi

I don't disagree with this at all -- but the value there has very little to do with the tool, Slack. An IRC channel is at least as functional. It's been years since I used Stack Overflow chat, but I always felt if it had been a bi

My experience with these communities is that they are very close to non-functional, for several reasons. I use paid Slack, to pretty good effect, every day at work. First of all, they have to rely heavily on hacks to store information long-

It seems to me like the advantage to focus on here is the improved error / `None` handling, which will speed debugging and make handling expected edge cases easier. I've seen a lot of inexperienced developers tripped up entirely b

A lot of this article is a mix of a little bit of truth with a lot of what is just bad management. But the first few and final example are good warnings that can be applied anywhere, Scrum or not. Paraphrasing / quoting the article: &q

While I know the parent comment is a positive one, it's really underselling the breadth of games ScummVM supports these days. There are many games (or versions of games) supported by ScummVM that you can't run in DosBox for the si

What? 1+2+3+4+5+6+7 = 28. 28 / 7 = 4. So 4 is both the midpoint and the mean?

While civil disobedience etc. are useful forms of protest, we haven't exhausted other avenues, like actually showing up to vote. And the parent post is talking about violence, not just civil disobedience. The act you describe at the en

They're not all what people traditionally mean when they say protest, but the parent was talking about violence -- which I consider a separate category from protest. Definitionally, any act that registers disapproval or objection is pr

Real protest means going to your local government to fight the internet access monopolies and duopolies. It means voting with your wallet and not supporting the companies pushing for this. It means showing up to vote next time instead of st

No, this is incorrect. You can map the set of rational numbers to the set of natural numbers. The set of reals in that range is shown to be uncountably infinite by Cantor diagonalization. https://www.reddit.com/r/expl

I agree about not doxxing, but the article points out that there is a link from this person's personal website to the "scam" site. So it's not just someone who's name was randomly used to register the domain.

Why do you think the `for` loop form loads the whole stream? That shouldn't be true, since `for` just calls `iter` on the object internally, and normal file-like objects by default are iterated line-by-line. If you saw the migration gu
