It's really instructive to just look through and try to grok Saša's code on github. https://github.com/sasa1977

I don't want to be part of that That's your choice. The importance of Dang and the other moderators to this forum astronomically dwarfs the importance of individuals like yourself or myself. And no one here is solving how to pu

I'm just not understanding your complaint, then. Dang gave the reasons why they're doing this at the top of the post.

That kind of distortion of the importance of politics is the reason why many of us will appreciate taking a break from it here. The reality is that the "latest and greatest JS framework" and how I can use it to make my clients hap

I try to tell people the same thing. I have been involved with RF modeling scientists as a supporting software developer. I also learned that models tend to stink and it's only through painful reality-based tuning that they start to

Might I offer a Neo-like "Woah", in response to that insight? I'll have to think about that.

It's the Internet. Opting out is the easiest thing in the world to do by going to a different web site.

If the concept of States' Rights had been more faithfully adhered to, more states would enjoy a greater feeling of autonomy. Instead, collectivism was embraced. California Democrats were loving it when Obama and the Democrats were in

I'll have to check out spacemacs. I've always been a vim person in that eternal war, but spacemacs looks doable for a vi user and interesting.

How do Sublime users feel about Atom ( https://atom.io/ ) as a replacement? I switched from Sublime 2 to Atom earlier this year and haven't really looked back. I admit, though, that my customization needs in the environ

In hindsight, opposition to innovations such as mechanical farm equipment or recorded music may seem ludicrous. How about if the article talked about the problems with the people who rapidly embraced once "nifty and new" ideas l

"unprecedented within the US" I'm at a loss to see how we disagree on my point. The libertarian party won't be upending our two-party system at the national level. Ever.

Being included in the debates is not winning. I consider myself to be mostly a Libertarian, but I have no illusions. Short of some beyond comprehension post-singularity-ish event, no Libertarian will ever win the Presidency.

If older people make voting decisions based upon a decreased impact in long-term consequences, how does that square with the statistically provable riskier behavior engaged in by younger people? If anything, I find that older people care m

Unless Thiel is actually interested in backing a candidate with a chance of winning - in which case, 5% means nothing.

That's a good point about Brexit because I noted even here on HN a great deal of overt resentment toward people who are older who largely voted #leave - as though their votes were less valid because of their age.

Allow me to meander a ways with extending what I view as your point: Should employers use whatever public records they have available to punish employees who donate money to the wrong party or candidates? Perhaps they should use this infor

There are low-carb alternatives to Soylent. Keto Chow is the one I use. I definitely prefer the taste of Keto Chow to Soylent. It's more like a milk shake. Also, Soylent gave me consistent acid reflux. https://www.thebair

I agree. In any discussion where you have a great deal of difference between positions, you have this problem. The more emotionally charged or wound up in groupthink a person is, the worse it gets because the very language that could be u

In religious discussions, people go around in circles arguing within the narrow space of each person's belief system. When even simple terms like "objective" are used in radically different ways, the conversation is doomed f

Based upon how you used it, I doubt that you and I could even agree on something simple like the meaning of the word "objective".

Some distrust of those in power is not always assuming that everyone with authority is lying. That's the absurd part, although I do admit that approaching it as though lying by authorities is common is a good way to build the system -

"Get rid of all police" is the sort of reductio ad absurdum silliness that brings this discussion down. Don't do that. Fair enough. I felt that I was responding to something that was absurd on the face of it, but I appreci
