   Ah, sorry, I completely failed to realize that was the question being asked. :)

   To be honest I do think `== false` is clearer than an inconspicuous exclamation mark but I don't use it.

   I mean, it's the same thing as extracting the boolean expression into a function and calling that in the if statement. It's also easy to imagine a quite long expression that would benefit from breaking into two or three descriptiv

   Because it gives you the opportunity to descriptively name the expression, sparing others from parsing it mentally.

   Why are you quoting a sentence that's not in the article? Nice way to appropriate BBCs credibility to your conspiracy theory.

   What's the degree of backward compatibility with FORTRAN releases? I imagine most FORTRAN codebases as being huge and old, so it makes me wonder how many can adopt the latest versions.

   Thanks, this is the first thing I've seen actually implemented in Nim. Will be interesting too look through some actual code.

   An article about Java's warts written with the same pettyness as the author would probably be the length of a small novel.

    Why don't more people take state subsidized loans then? Seems like a nobrainer.

    As far as I know Youtube Kids is still unavailable outside the US. Anyone aware of a workaround to get it on my iPad?

    Find some sheep as quickly as possible, then you can construct beds and "skip" the night. You won't be bothered by monsters again until you venture into dark caves.

    You blasting the Pixel 2 for having a worse camera seems to indicate that you have no idea what you're talking about (likely on the other points as well). The Pixel 2 has the highest rated camera of all smartphones ( https://

    Tomte is Swedish for "Santa", which seems fitting.

    Gorgeous photo in so many ways. I'm unable to dig up a high-res version. Anyone else having more luck?

    I love Kotlin, it's been such a breath of fresh air at work. I hope it continues to gain adoption in backend services and not only Android, because it definitely shines at both.

    Is this game conditioning me to be rapist? Oh come on. The lengths you took that to, when applied to anything , will result in insane conclusions.

    Yay, finally a Pypy3.5 release with a binary for Windows. This was basically the final thing I've been missing in Python 3 since switching from 2.

    That's complete bunk. I was fluent in English by the age of 7-8 entirely from having watched a ton of TCC (a British kids channel) on my own. I'm sure adult aid helps, but it is in no way necessary. I'm from Sweden btw

    It baffles me how this rebuttal is convincing to anyone. Damore argued group differences are in part responsible for the relatively fewer women in tech. I can't see how that over-arching point has been refuted here, no matter how sna

    You know he must've been giggling as he came up with this. In addition to the uncharacteristic legislative humor, it's also a good idea.

    I'm skeptical about the benefits (and underlying assumptions) of "affirmative action" diversity hires but I certainly wouldn't classify myself as socially conservative. There are so many loaded terms on these subjects th

    You can't know that reliably, but the recruitment process typically involves meeting the team you are being considered for, which is at least something. You do however have excellent intel on your current situation, telling you it&#x27

    I definitely try to take the mantra "never be the smartest person in the room" to heart. It has been a fairly decent indicator of how enjoyable I've found working those particular roles.
