What's the issue with NAT, if you don't mind me asking?

It is definitely cool to support any kind of software that is useful. What is "not cool" is bumping in a thread about magit to let everybody know: - you're an anti-political correctness warrior. - you didn't bother to le

I don't know how popular the language was, but I distinctly remember it was seen as unfit for "enterprise" work. This was a time where the Serious devs would do SOAP, CORBA and other boilerplate-heavy RPC. Python was always b

But it requires transmission over the internet, right? This is actually very interesting. Am I legally allowed to draw naked kids for my own enjoyment in the comfort of my own home?

Genuinely curious what type of content would be considered illegal here. - the tool is drawing original content. - the tool is executing on my laptop. - the output image is not shared with anyone. In a way, whatever this tool can do, MS Pai

I don't know if you're a good or bad programmer, but I'll tell you this about job interviews: I've given dozens of interviews over the past 3 years. I'm fairly certain everyone got out of the interview with me feeli

Megacorps will get away with keeping their prices this high, as long as the gov keeps funding these "relief" payments. It's using taxpayer money to artificially maintain prices high.

I've spent much more time in sicp on text (and video lecture) than I did exercises. I also read it on my own time, not in class, and it took me many months to go through it. I guess everyone has a different way of approaching this.

I understand now what you are saying. I don't agree or disagree. Honestly I don't know enough about the topic. See, for middle eastern, words like "muslim" or "chrisitans" or "jews" doesn't repre

That's what I get for revealing my identity and sharing my stories. I'm told by strangers hiding behind their anonymous username that my views are "biased". Well, yeah, all views are "biased". Does it mean that

Fair, not Hamas, the Islamic Jihad that came before it. It's not nearly the point of my reply, but good gotcha. As for sources of how the PLO treated non-muslims during the civil war of lebanon, it's tough to find what you want. T

As a Lebanese, I find what you're saying both slightly offensive and slightly true. Lebanon, as a culture distinct from other middle easterners has existed for a very long time. Lebanon as an independent state has been invented in 1920

by babarock 4y ago
While the PLO tried to distinguish itself from Hamas by claiming to be more secular, make no mistake that they were clearly a muslim force. I was too young to remember the civil war, but at least in the collective retelling of the story, it

by babarock 4y ago
Your description of Lebanon is correct, but incomplete. - Lebanon (as an independent state) has been created in 1920, right after WW1 by the French "colonialists" specifically to draw an enclave of non-muslim minority in the cou

If we want to be pedantic, prototypal inheritance is a kind of OOP[1]. What you're talking about is referred to as "classical OOP" (OOP using classes). [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_p

Lua used to fill a niche very similar to Javascript: small lightweight OOP language that focuses on being embedded in a larger C program. Javascript won this war, mostly based on the explosion of the Web and the insane optimization work tha

Then what are foundations like CNCF ( https://www.cncf.io/ ) doing? I'm asking honestly, if there's any difference between CNCF and any other standards governing body.

As long as it's all in memory, that's fair game. Everybody at the high level is using engines for training/preparation. This is balanced by the fact that the sheer number of possible lines is huge. Too big for any human to &q

And, while it is a great game, I wouldn't call it a great story. The whole story can be summed up with "evil dragon captures the princess. Mustachio'ed hero braves danger to save her. Plot twist: our princess is in another ca

Count me as a 2nd person who doesn't see the difference between spam and promotional emails. Any unsolicited email that is detailing product offers and prices is spam. I am not sure what google-shaped worldview has to do with anything.

My role isn't to assess if you're competent or not. My role is to assess if I want you on my team or not. There's a difference. And yes, if I ask you a technical question and you freeze, I don't want you on my team. It d

You're making the assumption that Holmes wronged "commoners" with malicious intent. As far as anyone can tell, this is just an allegation. So either: 1. you have incredible insight into the inner workings of the company. 2. y

What's the point of "open sourcing" if you get annoyed at people redistributing your work? Honest question here. I'm really not interested to know who's in the "right" or in the "wrong". I want t

Is it possible that people licensing things as MIT don't mind that a multi-billion company makes money off their work? I don't mean to make generalities about "open source", but a serious chunk of the community genuinely
