This assumes that you have enough space to go biking, that the area is safe for biking, that the temperature is comfortable for biking, and several other factors that could all tilt the scale away from "riding a bike would be more enjo

It's not. You can test it on your system. In every case I've seen, Python starts up faster than PyPy. Neither takes a super long time. PyPy has some great performance characteristics, but startup time isn't one of them.

I suppose you could set it up so things that are still under development and not being sold (and hence the creators can't have extracted any value) don't need copyright protection and are instead treated like trade secrets.

I don't see what guarantees of due process and other human rights have to do with libertarianism. I'm pretty sure that (just to use a politically distant example) your average socialist would also view this as something the govern

That seems pretty likely to be true of Github. But for Stack Overflow, I would be really surprised. Stack Overflow has had a huge and thriving C# community from the start, and it's got so much page rank that questions about any languag

Ruby's 1.9/2.0 upgrade had pretty similar changes to Python 3. For example, in Ruby 1.8.7, 'hello'[1] returned 101, whereas now it returns 'e', and String#each doesn't even exist anymore. Similarly, string

The TIOBE index has always been a bit weird. If you read their note about their methodology, you'll see that it's measuring something kind of interesting, but not really what you'd call "the most used languages." Fo

I think you're a super anomalous member of any programming language's community. I doubt even one programmer in a thousand has written F# professionally (not being hipster here — I haven't done it myself).

You can't just take up any horrible position you feel like and require everyone to help you spread it or else they're radically left-wing. For example, I don't think YouTube is going to ban someone for suggesting that we priv

In my experience, a lot of interviewers will ask questions along the lines of "What's the trickiest problem you've had to deal with?" I feel like those kinds of questions are excellent for bringing up this sort of thing

But of course the IRS probably isn't the only entity to which you owe taxes (states and the federal government are separate entities), so the IRS's forms only get you part of the way. What services like Credit Karma do is let you

This appears to be about people who filed taxes through Credit Karma, not normal users. You need to file your taxes somewhere, and Credit Karma is probably the best free option available.

It actually can do both. It depends on the specifics of the person and the strain. In particular, I think Indica strains are supposed to be less likely to create or exacerbate anxiety.

I think the point is not that they are being disingenuous, but that even people who are deliberately trying to like obscure things nowadays are primarily just consuming what Netflix shows them.

F-Script was really interesting. It was basically array programming welded onto Smalltalk welded onto Cocoa. It had a whole Smalltalky object browser, and the array programming features felt surprisingly natural.

If you look back a bit in the thread, the idea that I was disagreeing with is that this proves people were wrong when they said Backpage made many sex workers safer. I'm not saying we should let the Backpage people slide, but that the

You're drawing a false dilemma here. The question isn't "Was it possible for pimps to go on Backpage?" but "How easy was it to work without a pimp on Backpage versus on the street?" That's the argument peo

Do you think backpage is actually less safe than working with a pimp? A place can be pretty bad and still preferable to the alternative if that alternative is bad enough.

I don't think the distinction is as artificial as all that. It wasn't even possible for writers to decide on presentation until DTP came onto the scene. They just typed up their articles and then the person doing paste-up created

I'd be surprised if they did. It is extremely normal for forum software to only soft-delete posts — for one reason among many, it means somebody can't harass you while they know you're here but delete it before the mods can h

On a typewriter from around the time of the first Macs, the return key normally moves back to the beginning and moves down a line, so that's probably why they picked it. They also called the key "return" rather than "e

It suggests "any of the scripting languages," of which Ruby is one. Are you saying it should specifically recommend Ruby over all the other scripting languages? Because, I mean, I like Ruby a lot, but I can't see any reason w
