This is definitely the most straightforward way to go. It is almost certainly not the way he will go. In particular Awk is just great for this job and very easy to learn.

I think he just means that sexual harassment is different from "heat", however you want to define that.

So a picture isn't a picture until you look at it? Whether or not people should care, some people do care. If Debian has to edit what you distribute to remove proprietary parts of it, you're probably not distributing something th

Why do you need to unconditionally download a binary blob? Can't you just download it when "Enable "Ok Google" to start a voice search" is turned on? And also, it's not really open source anymore even though

Sorry, I thought there were antibiotics in US milk.

It's like you're trying to say that something obviously good may have a downside. The important point is that Uber and its drivers are partners in a mutually beneficial relationship. If everybody starts contracting out services

There's definitely more food now. Most of it is lower quality than what was eaten before, when it was eaten of course. For survival reasons, I would choose availability over quality any day. However, we have more than enough food to

It probably would have worked better if I phrased it in the present tense. Every single time a man abducts a child he is not in jail.

Every single time a man has abducted a child he was not in jail. Can you think of a counterexample?

Interesting. Would you choose "three July twenty fifteen", "July third twenty fifteen", or "the third of July twenty fifteen" (substitute "two thousand" for "twenty" if you like)? Assume s

Ok, fair enough. What do you say for non-special dates like July 3rd, 2015?

Are you saying it is commonly referred to as "The 11th of September, 2001" in England?

MM/DD/YYYY is simply a direct transliteration of spoken English, which makes it easy to read and write dates. In other languages, the spoken version is little endian or big endian, and the written version aligns accordingly. (At

I don't know, I wouldn't say the downsides of the old ways were that the food was non-local, low quality, or unhealthy. A lot of the food regulations were necessary because when you try to do things on a large scale you run into

Why is it important not to pick favorites? Are they trying to avoid killing companies they thought were bad but end up good later on?

Oh ok, I missed the connection to monopolies. Thanks for spelling it out.

Why is that playing dirty? I don't get it.

Well, my response certainly was short and snappy, I'll give you that. I know that not taking the time to properly explain myself may come across as naive and can be frustrating to deal with. It's just that I'm not up for a

Well, if it was categorically bad for you, it probably wouldn't be considered food.

Yeah, I think we basically agree. I was just nitpicking.

I think plenty of people would alter their content to avoid warnings, regardless of context. But, I only have data for the MPAA and also maybe recordings with explicit lyrics. I don't necessarily think warnings are bad, I just think

by cactusface 11y ago
I think you're underestimating the effects of content warnings. As an example, studios routinely alter films so as to achieve more favorable ratings from the MPAA.

Ok, I forgot about always_inline. That is a good point. Anyway, it doesn't work for polymorphic (technically non-static) or recursive code. If you've split your program up into lots of pretty little functions, which is fine, yo

Okay, we know that CBT works for depression, yeah? CBT postulates that your thoughts cause your emotions. Part of the therapy is identifying and refuting negative thoughts like, "You're worthless!" Well, if other people ar

Watching an ad is paying a price. If it's possible to get something for free without breaking the law and without other tangible negative consequences for yourself, why would you pay a price? Altruism, right? So watching ads is my a

What do you mean news/classifieds have next to no digital value? They're a delivery vehicle for ads, just like TV. They just can't be sold as their own thing. Then again, Craigslist makes a good chunk of its money by charg

I just feel bad for the guy. Originally, I was just pointing out it was a kind of censorship greater than downvoting that has some unsavory aspects to it. Like I wrote above, it's not clear what a better solution would be, except per
