Can't we get the same result by declaring data warehouses neutral territories for the purposes of data storage? I.e. if you run into one, you're still in whatever country the warehouse is in, but the servers themselves and the dat

Okay, but why the weird syntax and not the standard C style int main() { sleep(1); printf("Hello World"); return 0; } And then you can say "pure functions can be evaluated in any order". Maybe impure functions c

Because the Disney corporation doesn't want Mickey Mouse to fall in the public domain. I've said before that it may behoove us to simply amend copyright in a way that gives Disney infinite copyright, while everything else gets ten

It's frankly disgusting and terrifying in equal measure. When I say something, I want to tell you that thing. I don't want my words to be misunderstood as your feelings. It's already extremely hard to communicate with people.

You don't need to look that far. Fahrenheit 451, which nearly everyone interprets as anti-government censorship, was written by Bradbury as anti-TV, i.e. "television is rotting people's minds". It's literally an old

This enters into highly philosophical territory. Can meaning exist only for one person? That is, can you decide for yourself the meaning of words and if yes, what sense does it make to tell your made-up meaning to others? I can decide for m

This is an often-seen case, I think. People have a concept in their head they want to see attached to a popular saying and when along comes something that kind of fits the bill, it gets used as the bearer of the message, regardless of its a

Simply predicting it is one thing and doesn't detract from your subjective experience of free will. You maintain control of your fate in so far as that the Mind will not change things to get a certain outcome.

English people should give up on making new and weird rules for pluralising words in their language. We (a certain slavic country) just use consistent rules on almost all words, and never have a problem. Why the hell does it matter how the

Oh boy, if you thought drivers hated you when you were on a motorbike, just wait until they see you on a bicycle. It's like waving a giant red flag in front of a bull, while someone is sticking it in the balls with a hot poker. It does

As a vehicle for entertainment, sure. As a professional sport, yes. Grandparent meant it more as "what's the point of owning a car if you have 5 vacation days per year and never leave the city and all your commute each day is home

If the road outside your house doesn't have a sidewalk, like in most of America, then you live in a place where it's illegal to walk, since you cannot legally walk on the road. Though technically, you can still do laps around your

Also, I don't know how it's in Germany, but in other parts of Europe, your employer can force you to take your vacation days. Most do it at the end of the year, because if you have unused vacation days and you quit, they have to

I wonder how well this meshes with the fact that a lot of cities aren't built for walking. Walking is in general good, but is it responsible for your doctor to prescribe you an activity that is actually illegal in the area where you li

To me, as a C++ programmer, none of this really matters. I'm working on a very compute-intensive program with a lot of modules, used in professional settings. It has to go fast. If using C++ means we can go faster than someone using

I used to be with "it". Then they redefined what "it" was and it wasn't what I was with. Now I can't be with what I used to be, because it's "it", but "it" is now different. In other wo

After investing in a Truly Ergonomic[0] keyboard, I personally don't want ever again to use a keyboard with asymmetrically staggered keys. Having a perfectly mirrored layout is much nicer to use. The 6 on it is on the right, if that ma

Any European country. I think Germany is pretty strong on the IT front, together with the UK. In every single country in the EU, you're guaranteed a minimum vacation of 4 weeks, and I think in Germany it's a minimum of 6 weeks. Ju
