I think you must be thinking of some other word — maybe the fact that "ice" doesn't necessarily refer to water ice. If a science article says "water," they generally mean water unless the author's phrasing is e

I'm kind of surprised to see Google brought back the + operator. I remember they prominently changed its meaning when they made it the @ of Google+, and I never bothered to check again after it died.

It has both modes. At the top of your feed, there's an icon that looks like three sparkles. If you click it, you can set your feed to "Home" (the Facebook-ish option where an algorithm creates your feed) or "Latest Tweet

What you're describing just sounds like a more labor-intensive method of following those people. The purpose of following people is so you can see that same content aggregated into a feed.

That second source goes on to point out that its major concern (in terms of "uncertainties and critical risks") is healthy people using medical masks in places where there isn't enough supply and depriving healthcare workers

The messaging regarding masks was "They don't keep you from getting it, and everyone should be inside right now to avoid spreading it if they have it, so avoid buying a mask to make sure there are enough for people who need them.&

State taxes don't go toward aircraft carriers. Looking at the state's budget, it looks like California spends most of its budget on education, then healthcare and welfare programs, then prisons(‽).

I mean, the most obvious solution would just be to unify Ruby's basic syntax with the RBS syntax shown in the OP. This format already looks like a Ruby class definition with the method bodies omitted and some simple "-> type&qu

I think whatever company you were working at was a few years behind the curve, because JSON was already pretty much the standard for SPAs by 2010. For example, that's the year AngularJS came out, with JSON/JSONP as the only built-

A lot of modern web technology is inefficient for the sake of being ergonomic. Here's what Hacker News looks like: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/master/apps/news/...

It seems like you're conflating accurate diagnoses with misdiagnoses here. Nobody thinks being medicated based on a misdiagnosis is a good thing, and especially not as a substitute for parenting.

Not really. It's not like there's a certain amount of smoking you can do and then you max out on the damage you can do to yourself, and any smoking after that point is "free" in terms of health consequences. It's cu

Are you offering insurance to every C2H prospect? Otherwise, this seems like it basically works for healthy people without families.

"We're hearing one side of the story" seems to be functioning as a thought-terminating cliche here. Everyone knows we're only hearing one side of the story. The comment you're responding to is asking Github to join

Does Rust give you compile-time guarantees around not crashing? I thought any function could panic without so much as a peep from the compiler.

"Indians" in the sense you're using are not an actual thing. To my understanding, if you want to be a member of the Muscogee Nation, then you need to show legal proof of a bloodline going back to at least one specific person

To be clear, I think it's mainly nonexistent if you haven't worked in more powerful languages than Go before. All those people complaining about lack of generics and stuff probably are experiencing that feeling. Go is simple eno

Are trolls a problem to solve at all if your goal is to promote free speech? Trolling is one of the most commonly censored forms of speech. It seems like trolls are a core feature, not a bug, in that scenario. If you actually want to solve

I think you might be viewing the situation at too low a resolution. Do you not see any salient differences between a Senator running an inquisition to root out political adversaries, and a social platform forbidding people from threatening

We've already been there a long time in terms to "What you can do on Xbox Live." You'd be insane to put a German swastika on your Forza car and expect not to get banned.

It's been regularly mentioned on Twitter since pretty much forever, so I guess that was just when somebody saw a tweet and decided to post it here.

I'm not intimately familiar with the internals of rustc, but my impression was that everything gets compiled and dead code is later eliminated. In order to avoid compiling unnecessary stuff, you generally need to use feature flags (e.g

People always say this, but it kind of seems like superstition to me — I haven't seen much evidence to support it. After the last wave of subreddit bans, it was "Well, obviously they'll all just go to Voat." But the corr

Yep. At the time, it was kind of a controversial decision. Now it seems obvious.

This is true, but it's also something the Rust community discusses all the time, along with what they can do about it. It seems like a huge leap to the conclusion that the Rust community is an echo chamber because some middlebrow dismi

I don't think it's just a filter bubble. Look at any programming jobs site. Count how many listings you see for Rust versus any language you'd consider commonly used.

Eh, I don't think there's much of a selection of legal audiobooks on YouTube other than public domain stuff, so it's not a great substitute for Audible.

It would support the parent comment if the point of the parent comment had been something like "The state of the web has changed a lot since 2005," but it wasn't. The parent comment was specifically castigating the JavaScript

I think "a few years" is a bit of an understatement. CoffeeScript came out one year after Google Chrome, in the heyday of Ruby on Rails. The entire web development landscape has shifted a lot since then.

Aren't many gas stations in cities located in places where you could get out, sit in a cafe, do some shopping or whatever?
