A huge amount of Linux users use rolling release distributions now (Arch, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, etc). I prefer it as well because I find it less disruptive than occasional big-bang versioned releases. Where versioning matters, we have bette

The scale at which manufacturers and insurers like Tesla can use real-time location data in actuarial models (and whatever else they like) is quite new, though. The important distinction is that the same entity tracking your real-time locat

I've seen multiple instances of Google failing to correctly triage critical security issues. I can only conclude from these organizational failures that Google leadership doesn't really take security seriously. Here's another

Their ability to deal with the real world develops over time, gradually. Some mature topics just can't be evaluated ( yet ) by immature children, who lack a sense of self identity, sexuality, etc. to fully understand what they're

To some degree, I agree with you. There's a continuum--you can't just leave children completely alone to choose everything, they lack the maturity and ethical decision-making frameworks to do that. On the other extreme, you should

Nope. Children have a reduced set of rights, that doesn't mean they have no rights. (I am not going to dispute this further with you unless you want to provide something more than a shallow dismissal.)

It is about the "liberty" for parents to instill their values in their children, on their terms. This is a perfectly reasonable desire from parents, but removing books from libraries is certainly too heavy-handed. Responsible pa

IMO code should be messy to some degree. If it's not, then I'm moving too slowly. Probably over-refactoring and over-analyzing. And usually that's a symptom of something deeper, like too much ambiguity leading to procrastin

This was around the time that libraries--with armies of scribes--became popular as political tools to help govern and disseminate Hellenistic culture, so this seems like a reasonable thing for a Greek general to do in that context.

Seems like it's buffering output, which Python also does. Python is much slower if you flush every write (I get 2.6 MiB/s default, 600 KiB/s with flush=True). Interestingly, Go is very fast with a 8 KiB buffer (same as Python

A major contributing factor is whether or not the language buffers output by default, and how big the buffer is. I don't think NodeJS buffers, whereas Python does. Here's some comparisons with Go (does not buffer by default): - No

Relax, broad social discourse has never been particularly nuanced or long-form, and has always been partially driven by catch phrases, headlines, and incisive, memorable quotes.
