The initial complaint was that it did not have "good support." I think it is fair to say that having to spend a significant amount of effort to work around a lack of support is not "good support."

How do you think all the complex bit-shifting makes it easier to memorize?

Many posts on this site are barely relevant outside of San Francisco, so this strains credulity as an explanation.

This seems like an is-ought fallacy. What you're describing is not a "you shouldn't," it's a "you can't due to limitations in the language."

That is what we do when we talk, but that is not all we do when we talk. In composing this comment, I am not just stringing together words to create what I think constitutes a maximally appealing response to your comment. I am trying to c

As a demo of how long before it was standardized it was already popular, YAML was modified to be a superset of JSON in 2009.

Absolutely. Sometimes with coworkers I'm relatively close to, we'll have those side conversations in a Slack chat...but then that's just making the argument for Slack.

I don't think they're trying to forcd those people who work better in an office to work from home, are they?

In my experience, those "recommendations" only appear in the algorithmic feed. Are you sure you haven't been using it unknowingly?

That seems like an odd example. The "specific intention" of the word "slave" in computing is unquestionably to draw an analogy to slavery, so if somebody objects to the word on the grounds that it references an actual at

I don't think there's actually any substantial pushback on the word "motherboard" either. That's not a real thing people are mad about. It seems like Google's AI is just not very good at judging what is conside

Yeah, account IDs aren't actually publicly listed, but should be treated as such. No part of your security should rest on an AWS account ID staying secret.

The difference between the person you're replying to and a car salesman is that they're a user and not a salesman.

So what you're saying here is that helping minorities and making them equal members of society is a political antipattern if opponents of civil rights don't like when you do it? I don't see how that's an antipattern. If

You see both white nationalism and civil rights as political antipatterns? What do you consider a healthy political environment? Complete stagnation where people who got theirs are OK but no one else can ever rise to that level? Or do you m

Four achievements in 10 years isn't actually a lot, and two of those are just "they added more monetization."

And so is "We are not companies," but you apparently felt the need to argue with that.

The question you asked is: > why Tim waits 4 minutes to reply to the "Hello!", but instantly replies to "Hello! <question>". What a selfrighteous jackass. As far as I can tell, this question only makes sense if

Setting boundaries that ask people to respect your time is not "staggeringly entitled," it's pretty much the bare minimum of self-respect.

The real question to me is why you expect somebody to drop everything and reply to "hello." It's not about being righteous, it's just not a productive use of your time. If I'm not busy, I'll reply quickly, but

Evidently the point of the manylinux project is to make it easy to distribute Python binary wheels for Linux, so that basically is their use case. Though they're not building for arbitrary old versions — they're building for a c

I'm a little confused by this. I'm on the last Ubuntu LTS version (20.04) and the default GCC version appears to be 9.3, with 10.3 available as an option. So why are they stuck on 6?

It's not, because this conversation is specifically about how much worse it would be to pay all your bills in cash , while you seem to be talking about a digital payment.

Definitely feel free to do all that work if you think there's a case to make. While I agree it's not an exhaustive analysis, I think it's much more rigorous than the comment it was meant to refute.

If that were how it worked, we'd expect Utah (the state with the lowest divorce rate) to have very low levels of depression and anxiety compared to the rest of the US. That is not what we see. I don't think it's realistic to

It's a little hard to informally assign probability in cases like. We wouldn't be hearing about this if it weren't SARS-CoV-2, so what are the odds that (if it is contaminated) the sample we're hearing about in this case

This seems pretty iffy for introducing static/persistent variables to a function. I mean, it can work, but it's semantically very confusing. Parameters are part of a function's interface. A global variable would be much bette
