The economy is predominantly private: it is the sanctions hurting the economy. I refuse to defend Maduro, but he is the peoples’ choice. Yes there are anti-Maduro rallies, but there are also pro-Maduro rallies the media conveniently ignores

The world could always halt sanctions: the source of the problems.

I think you’re right, but tables in scroll views are tricky in every context—if my understanding of the problem is correct, optimal rendering of this requires both an understanding of the backing data store and estimation of rows before loa

It's generally the linker you need to worry about, but it depends on what you're doing with the assembly.

I still don't see that as a materially useful definition but I'll admit I recognize the usage. However, in the current context of discussing congestion—i.e. who gets to use the thing we all pay for—and other externalities like pol

You're begging the question—you didn't quote a justification for the term, you quoted an argument that requires the same justification. Taxis are absolutely antagonistic to public transit, as demonstrated by the ratio of human lab

That's a hell of a claim to back up. Any kind of argument for this idea? Ownership is meaningful. What is access—is my local McDonalds a public service? This smells very similar to "access to affordable" housing and healthcar

by drb91 8y ago
I'm not a cop and my job is not to be violent on behalf of the state. Additionally, monitoring can also be exonerating if you are confident in the justice system, so I don't buy this idea that cops are uniformly against monitoring

The runtime behavior I was alluding to with C++ would be exceptions, which dramatically changed the language compared to c—I'd peg the demise of C++-as-a-superset-of-C with the death of cfront in 93: https://en.wikipedia.org

Yea sure, I suppose you could compare typescript to C++ from 1983. That's certainly not the original comparison (or one anyone would assume), though.

by drb91 8y ago
Well, neither are comparable to typescript/js, so I'm not sure what your point is. Both add heavy language features and runtimes that are completely absent from Typescript's additions. Typescript truly is javascript with type
