We are partly constructed through society. This is the nature vs nurture debate all over again, many decades after psychologists moved on.

Increased availability of information. It is far harder now to control the flow of information, as some Middle Eastern leaders discovered in 2011, and a short while later the various democracies of the world. Consider a little the meaning o

Given that I have wrestled with 2) in a different context, I'm quite interested in hearing the various (hopefully realistic) methods to address it. Actually serious.

Some old versions of Opera from over a decade ago supported downloading torrents. It sadly didn't catch on.

All code is compiled to its final machine-code form at start-up, so there's no warm-up. It's closer to an AOT compiler than most JITs.

The question was regarding N+1. If you're not careful with ActiveRecord, you get that. With Ecto, it's impossible. Ecto has its own drawbacks, but its strong suit is predictability.

No doubt, but that is tangential to what the S-400 is claimed to do, and if you don't mind me being blunt: neither us, nor any Russian forum goers, know if the S-400 is actually reasonably effective against LO aircraft. Maybe not even

As I recall, it was the "atheism+" schism that killed that movement. So: probably, yes.

The S-500 is meant more for ICBMs and cruise missiles. The S-400 variant is claimed to be effective against LO aircraft, but since only Russia, China and Turkey operate the things, we cannot say either way. We definitely cannot claim it&#x2

That's one reason why search and targeting radars are not the same thing. Missiles are fired (and aircraft are sent) in the general area of the detected aircraft, where they'll pick up the enemy aircraft on X-band more easily. And

> that would imply No, it would not. There are more alternatives than "racist policy" and "racial superiority". Also, we're most likely dealing with continuums between many variables, not discrete buckets.

Delaying the onset of puberty appears to have long-term effects. More importantly, this is very early and the science is still coming in, and therefore such treatment is effectively criminally negligent; our children should not be walking e

Except now we are discussing treatment for children too, not just consenting adults. The moment our children are involved, most of us will not allow this to be brushed off with appeals to authority. Not to mention that authorities are regul

Schizophrenics are also "wired in a particular way". Why should one be classified as a mental illness, yet the other is not?

One nice perk of journalists doing much of their research on Google nowadays is that a layman can too -- there is little moat around journalism anymore. So a couple years back I decided to take an informal random sampling of news articles f

I do not know what Nx is doing, but BEAM has "dirty NIF"s: long-running native functions that are scheduled differently so that they do not impact regular BEAM processes. They're transparent from the user space.

Saying Hotwire is the latest iteration of Turbolinks is like saying C++ is the latest iteration of C.

You're making it sound like Hotwire is some novel thing the RoR guys have come up with. It's actually a copy of Phoenix LiveView, and not the only one either.
