It doesn't feel like an effective use of space; what is it about McDonald's that makes it a better focal point than a community center or a space built specifically as a gathering point for the community?

No one is free from criticism, what they're free from is being forced to listen to it. No one's making anyone else here participate in the discussion. Performing hard work doesn't make you immune from doing that work poorly,

What kind of attitude is this, really? Is parenting some sacred thing, immune from analysis or criticism? Does parenting happen outside the realm of logic or reason, where all decisions are good, and any attempt at measurement or objectivi

I'm honestly having a hard time understanding what you're talking about because Netflix is not bringing fiber to Comcast's regional NOC, nor is Comcast performing any traffic shaping whatsoever on Netflix traffic when the

You're speaking in general, I'm being specific. The way Netflix has implemented peering is by literally building servers containing their content library, and racking them in ISP datacenters. And there is a very real difference

by dimino 10y ago
There's a difference between "not throttling" and "allowing a peering agreement". This ruling doesn't mean Comcast must allow Netflix to put servers in Comcast's datacenters. Peering agreements have nev

This would be great , if you're right, because this is how we get to a place where we maintain our resumé in one place (LinkedIn) and don't have to play the whole "Please upload your resumé. Now please enter in all the deta

Not only is this a contentious idea, it's positively absurd on its face. Your logic dictates that every tool with similar goals cannot be maintained separately, and that a single person or group should hold a complete monopoly on

Well no, it assumes what I said, what you said, and a bunch of other things. Why are you being weirdly insistent that there only exist exactly one tool for making HTTP requests on the command line?

Doesn't this assume the maintainers of both projects would be amenable to such a thing, and otherwise be perfectly in unison with regard to vision and goals?
371.
by dimino 10y ago
It's literally meant to mean the opposite of that.

by dimino 10y ago
Can you restate your thesis? Is is that HTTPie should be merged into the cURL project?
373.
by dimino 10y ago
By that logic, if Firefox were implemented with libcurl and bundled with cURL, it would no longer need to exist as a separate project. I'm not sure I understand your point.
374.
by dimino 10y ago
A minor logical point, but no one said cURL was not for humans. More than one thing can be "for humans".

I can sell the share if I own it, right? So it's like $43 bucks for free.

Pseudo-intellectual I mean to be a position taken for the sake of having a prepared argument, without understanding the reasons for holding the position (or it's opposite). Paranoid I mean to be an unjustified concern for the actions o

The "TV in the refrigerator" IoT is definitely a fad, but you're right, there's a fundamental need to connect devices together and to a central managing/monitoring service.

It's strange, because while I don't typically agree with the decisions made to remove those distasteful subreddits, I find voat's obsession with them to be even more distasteful.

There's a lot wrong with what you wrote, but I'll summarize into one point; this isn't a conversation between you and me, it's a discussion in a group. Your replies are not congruent with that, and it ruins my experienc

Yeah, you did. > FB's decision just pushed me and all other similar users (users that already are on the fringes of FB usage, using it only rarely) even further away.

I use Messenger mostly because it's the only app that's actually achieved quorum amongst people who I talk to. If that weren't true, I wouldn't use Messenger, and if that's not true for you, I can understand not usi

This is great! I tended to favor this technique for testing during my time in QA automation. People gravitate towards Selenium too quickly, when you really only need Selenium to test rendering.

Breaking up a comment into isolated parts removes context and is intellectually dishonest, please don't do it. What you're doing now is invoking moral outrage, which is completely useless in any real conversation, so what you&#x27

Neither does Windows 10, but the fact that this comment actually "offends" you tells me we're not playing on a level field.

You don't have a cell phone but for you the Windows breaking point was when Win10 came out? I think you're either not being very honest, or you don't know about the myriad of privacy issues Microsoft has had over its entire l
