If anything, this has convinced me that public transit and other public services should be funded entirely with property tax.

RAII is necessary for exceptions. Why the hell would you do that to yourself?

I mean it's kind of a smartass answer, but—don't fail during constructors. Move all possible code that can fail into an initialize method; check explicitly for allocation failure and/or put things on the stack instead of heap

RAII is incredibly attractive, especially if you disable exceptions.

So—this means the value of a landlord is directly proportional to the minimization of their profits. Unfortunately, that's also more than you can expect from humans who know they can charge more and find tenants.

Walter, you're always so responsive in these threads! Cheers.

How is D's memory safety without the GC? How does it guarantee you don't use-after-free, de-ref nulls, buffer overflow, etc?

What, exactly, do landlords contribute to society? Their assets ARE their value. Frankly, my landlord could die and the only people who would care would be the banks. All money means is that you convinced someone else to give you money at s

> It's an ale rather than a beer. To be a beer, it would have had to contain hops, which give beer its bitterness and act as a preservative. Unless drunk very quickly, like Lambic it would have also gone sour. It's highly unlik

Mildly related, I really appreciate it when someone puts the effort in to transcribe audio interviews.

Automation doesn't benefit the people when profits flow toward landlords and business owners.

Parametric fonts go back to at least metafont. Pretty sure you can do all the transformations indicated on the page in 'native' metafont.

Harrassment is often entirely one person's word against another. Many of these cases are decided by who the jury believes, if the case even makes it to court—because, remember, most victims don't press charges. Investigations do

Really? Do you have an example? I've never run into this before. Not that it's hard, it's just that other editors haven't done it (that I've seen).

Ehh, I'd say emacs has a minor edge in that tab is a command to indent to the correct level, not to insert characters. I.e., you can also use a single `tab` on an over-indented line to correct indentation. Your point stands, of course.

Right—but clearly they do.

Not to mention, ruining personal relationships over bikeshedding is rightfully considered utterly toxic behavior in the real world.

I despise how little drivers are paid. This is also accepted. What's your point?

More than that, part of silicon valley's diversity is (iirc) an unusually high representation of asian men; an assumption of whiteness wouldn't get you far.

Who are reuters, forbes, and bloomberg to say? They don't know the market; it's not like rescuing yahoo was actually in any way possible. The site was a finance site, a sports site, and a shitty email server stuck to a link farm.

What exactly do you think this will help with? It's not hard to understand why people use/buy guns. People are just terrible at evaluating risk; not much to it.

At best it'd be a stopgap before a reverse proxy or cache, though. For whom is this functionality a problem?

Well, humans have evolved to eat cooked nutrition. We did not evolve to inhale that cooking smoke.

Well, sudoku is a solved problem. This would amount to teaching a neural net graph coloring.

What an odd way to measure harm. It turns out being outside is more dangerous than smoking is! This is also laughable considering how utterly terrible cigarette smoke is—I can't even imagine how I would make a vapor that harmful withou

> discouraging non-smokers is a great idea. Why? If it doesn't have health costs, there's not much reason you should care. This study isn't even on the same planet as measuring health costs.

I don't think disgust implies judgement at all.

by dgfgfdagasdfgfa 9y ago
Is disgust not ultimately subjective? Who are we to choose what disgusts us.

Ehh, acting like these companies need to actively filter isn't a great scenario either. I think we need more visibility into what our neighbors are discussing so we can't echo chamber quite as easily.
