>Mentally, I think of most Unix utilities as operating on STDIN and producing STDOUT Yeah, that is actually very much the point. You are passing the contents of the file in to grep's STDIN. So why not just do exactly that rather t

And there is no maintained GPL2 gcc, so they need an alternative. Also, the goal of the project is to provide a free operating system, and GPL software does not meet that goal, in either version. So naturally it is desirable to replace it

Selection bias. When you make people sign up first, only people who are really interested are going to bother. Most people will just leave. When you let them try it first, all the people who wouldn't have tried it at all in the sign

That depends on the context. Believe it or not, plenty of kids of all colors have no idea what nigger means or why it is offensive. A white kid calling a black kid a nigger can be racism, or it can be that the kid has no idea what it mean

You can't complain that my evidence isn't an academic citation, and then post even worse as your evidence. You are jumping to a conclusion, and I am saying the hypothesis you should be testing doesn't appear to be true. But

You are welcome to your opinion, but you aren't welcome to try to force me to accept it as fact. I've seen no evidence to support your interpretation, and all my experience has shown the opposite. What wider implications make th

Saying "make me a sandwich" doesn't have power. The environment of "the majority are singling me out" is what has power, the words are quite literally irrelevant. Sexism would be if the boys in the class thought

No, I am not taking responsibility for an imaginary problem. You don't get to tell the world they have to cater to your delusions. Do you know what I hear about this issue from my wife? Variations on "What alternate reality are

Nobody said the original case is OK. In fact, knowing in advance someone would advance that strawman, I preemptively addressed it in the post you replied to. I stated that it is bullying, not sexism. If you try to solve bullying by addre

That's really the only reason I can see to do it. But I can see plenty of cases where I don't care about that, so I don't think "you failed input validation" is at all accurate. The consequences are a more annoyin

Your deliberate misrepresentation of the posts you are replying to is simply dishonest. There is no way for a constructive conversation to come out of that.

Do you know what it was like for the only guy in home ec? It is not a case of sexism, it has nothing to do with programmers (likely none of the students would identify with programmers at all). It is just normal bullying. The same kind t

Any idea if it is feasible/plausible/possible for postgresql to return multiple errors instead of just one? The only reason I can see to have to do validation in the app now is so you can report 5 validation errors at once, rathe

I believe that very small sounding issue has played a huge role in D being as uncommonly used as it is. It seems like a trivial thing, but the ability to just pkg_add languageX is incredibly important for adoption.

HN is not the venue for that kind of garbage. Your personal experiences and biases are not universal objective truths. Grow up.

A strawman can be used to explore their views. That is the point. It is only a fallacy if you create a strawman, then argue against it and claim to have argued against the original point. That has nothing to do with anything that occurre
