Not at all. It's about attacks on rationality and free enquiry at a US public university. The modern tendency to use the word "politics" to mean "people disagreeing" is lazy, and allows people to avoid confronting,

Yes, this story is about a mainstream US academic quitting his post, making serious allegations of anti-intellectual behavior against a mainstream US public university. That appears to be obviously appropriate for HN, and is not about &quot

Moderators: would you mind taking this opportunity to explain to us what it means when we see "[flagged]" in a title? Is it an automated title edit triggered by many people clicking the "flag" link? Or does it show that

Can you link to some examples of transphobia on HN? I read HN a lot and don't think you're correct to make that claim.

Taking away configuration options from most Jira project managers I’ve come across would be a very helpful first step.

I think you may be confusing me for someone who believes in 50:50 ratios for their own sake. I do not. > Would you apply the same reasoning to prisons then? In prisons I expect more male inmates for biological reasons: men are on average

In the culture's that I'm familiar (western anglophone) it's entirely unacceptable to use the word "him" for a putative technical cofounder that does not exist. I've flagged this thread to give the moderators a

Might be nice to see major airlines, and airbnb (and competitors) offering free travel and accommodation to texan women traveling to other states for abortion-related procedures, and similar legal protection for participating airbnb hosts.

Could I please ask for some explanation of the multiple downvotes I've received here? I note the following: 1. I made my point politely, and constructively. 2. I did also offer an answer. 3. My point was not related to "preferred

I understand that English may be your second language, but note that you are using a male pronoun (“him”), whereas presumably you would consider female technical cofounders. You could write that as “ask them to code”. If it’s a web site you

No, that's not good. If condition() is true, x shouldn't take the value 5, even temporarily. The combination of (x = 5, condition()) is inconsistent state (using the word "consistent" in the same sense as the C in

Thanks! My searches completely failed to find that. I can’t use it as a ruby library, but perhaps I can pull out the heuristics.yml and the naive bayes classifier weights to use in another language.

I was recently looking for a library that takes a few lines of source code as input, and predicts the programming language as output. That seems like a very tractable machine learning problem, yet all I could find was a single python librar

OK cool. I'm certainly a huge terminal user myself and no advocate of increasing mouse usage in general, but for working through things like compiler errors / stack traces etc, wouldn't you agree that, seeing as all the file

Your comment explains why the variance is high; it doesn't explain why the mean should be low. In other words, there flipside of what you said is that sometimes you'll excel and be offered the job on very attractive terms.

That's completely irrelevant to the discussion. We're talking about positions for which many people will apply. You're not going to be able to eliminate enough with a 30 minute informal "chat". Honestly, I think you

So if you issue a compile command in a terminal, outside vim, and the compiler emits something like `myfile:17:7` to stdout, how do you then open vim on line 17 of myfile?
743.
by da39a3ee 5y ago
If I'm understanding you correctly that means you have to do your compilation from within vim. Isn't that constraining at times?

If you run your editor in a terminal, how do you do things like ctrl+click on a compiler error in the terminal and have the file opened in your editor at the correct line?

by da39a3ee 5y ago
> the terminal where I typed `nvui` Maybe you'll find some advantages in having a long-running editor process, rather than starting one from the terminal whenever you want to edit? For example, ctr+click on a compiler error message

Yup. It's just a cliché of modern life. You hear it at train stations: "For security reasons, <anything>". It's the same in medium-size and large companies with "legal". All you need say is "Oh that&

Thanks yes I have learned to use the WITH statement, and I agree it gives more composability. But still, a half way house wouldn't you say?
