Your problem was in environment which didn't embrace the ways you like, not that language was multi-paradigm. "I love Python cooked functionally, but my colleagues do only OO" is equivalent to "I love Clojure, but my col

Seriously, "I know a guy who didn't think" is not an argument for prohibition (and probably not an argument for anything at all).

No neutral point of view. It's just whomever shouts the loudest and gets there first. And that's exactly how news industry worked always , since invention of press (actually even before, though it wasn't industry back then

The idea that the internet transmorphed media from oracles of truth to professional manipulators is taking the whole situation inside out. The fact that people used to trust media more is not an indicator that media used to say more truth i

Sounds like a milder type of conspiracy theory to me. Compared to coal, crude oil has higher energy density, provides better fuel to operate machines, and was less labor intensive to extract - isn't it quite enough for oil to expand in

True, but having it in your Constitution is an important starting point. Dissidents in USSR weaponized Soviet C. against Soviet administration, just by asking "Where's all the stuff promised here?" And Soviet Union did a lot

No foolishness. Such features intended to enhance handling of sensitive data when users' laziness, or lack of understanding is the problem - and it works well in this way. Malicious recipient can do anything, of course, but usually you

How's it better, really? Besides being exclusively one-sided, it tries hard to make up a very strange connection between the fact that the guy was treated mildly for hacking into his university network, and the death which essentially

We don't, except in some narrow contexts, like "Large quantities of E.c. found in bottled water". Looking at pristine lake far in woods one wouldn't say "Look, such a contaminated water!" just because there are

Changing the point of reference will change your mathematical model, sure, but it will still describe a movement around a barycenter, and the statement remains true whatever your philosophy. Numerous ways to model a phenomenon don't de

Absolutely, but establishing routine means overwriting your natural signals with acquired habit, not following them.

You need to sleep at the time and duration that your feelings indicate to you It's oversimplification. Those signals are dependent on light, among other things. And unless you live with no electricity they may fool you.

I found the need for a plenty of RAM a little overblown for ZFS. My anecdotal experience: I repaired my home file server replacing faulty RAM with 2G stick (because that was only spare piece I had) as a temporary solution. But as it often h

Not sure I clearly see your position. If platforms should abstain from censorship unless proper legal process forces them to do so is what you mean - I would not argue. But it's not the point of my comment. Pro-cesorship movement never

I do not sympathize with Google, but Boingboing looks ridiculous here. Its contributors have been advocating for modern pro-censorship movement, which pushes for filtering of content because of a ever growing list of allegedly offensive thi

You just don't have the right to tell a private company what content they must allow. That would be true for some other private company, but I'm not sure this libertarian attitude is applicable to Google/Alphabet - it holds

Yes, I admit, backups alone is too narrow a solution. Still, it's a terminal program, apparently not targeted towards general mouse-and-click user. Here, you probably can assign a key(combination) to 'mv Trash' instead of de

Trash bin (for messages, or files) is a poor man's replacement for making backup copies.

Anyone with ADHD: is there a difference between writing a hundred of lines in Twitter, and writing the same amount of text, but published in one piece? Just curious.

The parent correctly notes that theming is a valid feature of the platform, and asking essentially for ignoring the feature because of brand issues sounds ridiculous. It maybe 'unhelpful', but sometimes we just express our opinion

I dislike immediacy of chats, so one may imagine I'm the perfect match for the product. But no, for people like me, I think, email works just fine. Level.app webpage says about its alleged superiority above Slack which looks a lot like

It's better to keep in mind that promises of unlimited traffic usually countered by fine text provisions, which your hosting company will invoke once your website starts to be a nuisance for them. Various companies have different level

But the article didn't lay down a lot of evidence: there's an observation by two sociologists limited by frames of Chicago's soul asylum in 1930s, and vague estimation of some Urban Design whatever, and finally a paper by a m
