The fact that half the people in this subthread think that your version is less readable and half think it's more is really strange to me. If you have to traverse more lines and scroll down and switch between lines to track variables a

If the results showed people voting normally, spreading their votes across their options, isn't that a failure? What's the point of switching to quadradic voting when you get the same results as the old system of selecting 15 bill

Isn't charging people to use other carriers one of the big things that got Bell broken up? Google seems to tread in a of very dangerous waters. I wonder if they're just not aware of how close they are to being shutdown entirely, s

In my experience at least with lawyers (don't know any judges), I wouldn't trust them with that sort of thing any more than anyone else. They're hyper concerned with convincing arguments, to the point where they often fail to

As an accounting student, the idea that Amazon is using capital leases as way of manipulating their financials is hilarious. That's the exact opposite of what everyone else does. Most companies try to hide debt they incur to buy infr

What do you mean? Feat, fix, etc. Those are all short, instantly understandable explanations of why a change was made. If you're looking for an explanation for why the code itself was coded a certain way, that's not what git messa

This makes me feel good about my life's goal of starting a parody store of Linens 'n Things called Batteries and Shit that just sells random crap that doesn't really go together.

I've always liked the idea of a language that combined syntax level support for functional reactive programming and symbolic programming. So you define z as x + y. Then you change the value of x and that change cascades across your pro

I don't really see the point in using Python syntax and then throwing in a handful of random differences that don't have anything to do with the domain you're working in. Syntax level support for vector operations or for shad

There's always a massive lawsuit when it comes to airplanes. Any crash, ever, they're gonna have to pay out. So that's the safest bet you can make.

Black metal is way sillier than death metal. In the early days, sure, there were a group of people who took the imagery of metal seriously or at least tried to. But black metal is so theatric and cartoonish these days. It'd be like bei
