The article points out how homeless people aren't popular or often defended. This reality is probably the biggest force against homeless people. Most people don't even want to consider their existence at all, especially if you see

This seems like the most obvious answer but social dynamics make it hard to suggest.

Corruption definitely exists as people are periodically convicted for it, but outside of those convictions the majority of talk about it seems to be a cope for the failures of systems we create freely. This writer references a corruption co

an important thing to realize with this analogy is the difference in purpose between code and writing. Writing is meant to be read whereas code is meant to specify a program. For people who read code like writing this makes sense but when t

Is this some kind of marketing for the mentioned movie? The article mentions documents that are supposed to substantiate it's claims but then it just goes into speculation and only linking to other articles the author wrote. The mentio

Is there any evidence for this or is this just trendy and shallow politician hate?

what were the first protocols? are these really comparable situations in your mind or are you grasping at straws here? genuinely curious if you can make an argument that they're similar

well that's a start, kudos for the probability and evidence that would shift it. Like most people I haven't looked into any of this much before the last year so I'm far from knowledgeable here but: .5 is a surprising number w

A lot of the discussion I see on this hinges on possibility and not strongly believing the claim is false. Sure, this theory is "possible" in some sense but I rarely see anyone presenting concrete evidence for it and I don't

Is that tweet really "extremely negative" towards Linux? All he says is that he doesn't want to abandon Windows but instead push back on changes to it he doesn't like; he doesn't make any judgements about Linux. The

I don't think it's a preference issue. The problem you have when you split up functions is you're making decisions that have consequences in a fairly arbitrary way(not backed by an understanding of the system, just how you fe

you're probably not alone but the issue here is forcing it on the user. that the option exists means they understand some people want a raw timeline which makes repeatedly changing the display that much worse

I agree that there should be action taken to push things like this in a better direction but I think the obvious things to do can easily back fire and just make the situation worse. AFAIK in china there is a lot (not necessarily universal)

I don't claim to be an authority on this by any means and it's a very complex space but... the approach of "forcing" a foreign country to take on social/political beliefs seems like a very difficult task when the lo

It would help your argument if you could cite that number and show that it's part of a significant trend.

The curve isn't necessarily implicit or explicit; multiple forms exist. Think of the standard form of a line versus a parametric form. For beziers you might explicitly evaluate them at time t if you're doing animation of implicitl

the surface normals don't change when the mask rotates from the front to the back so the lighting appears to "change direction". I think looking at the edges gives you more cues to see that the mask is rotating vs only having

the problem is that "ugly" isn't precise and can get translated from other reactions that aren't based on experience but are instead just cargo cutting. it's great to use the faster parts of our brains to reason but

This article is poorly researched (the only "visual" tool it mentions is scratch???) and pretty lazy in considering the merits of extratextual programming. It's worrying that something of this quality resonates with people.

metaprogramming is useful (for the same reason programming is, computers are great at transforming data. your program is data and it can be much faster to write it with this in mind) and templates are an existing, portable way to do metapro
