Really? I thought it was almost impossible to prove a negative . "You eat babies in your spare time!" "No, no I don't." The 1st can produce a picture of the person eating a baby, how does the 2nd prove that he doesn't eat babies? If the p

Of course every non-moderated service has spam, that was kinda the point of my post... Maybe the part you missed was that they introduced a new way of spamming via forking pages... I don't think I ever made any allusions to something not h

This is very unclear - the database is not the model in the app, it's the storage for the model. (In its own application though, it may be a model...) You've abstracted some application functionality into the data storage, ok. I'm speaking

Converting the display format of data when requested by a view is exactly what a model is supposed to do. However, instructing a contained object to take some action at the user's request that is unrelated to display or management of contai

Somewhat pedantic, but just throwing this out there: cars, bikes, and boats are all forms of transportation which can turn. They should probably inherit the concept of turning left, and then specify the exact meaning in their context. Obvi

Why do there have to be two copies of the file? Could there not be only one copy of the file, with two "begin pointers" that are dated? When a user decides that they no longer need an older version, the older section can be purged. Obvio

Indeed, you either tag from the get-go expecting to have many, many files in the future, or you give up on ever contextually managing those files outside of large containers. How do you tag a file when you can't find it to tag it, and when

To be clear: yes, you can make circuits out of all sorts of cool stuff. But, you can't make the high-speed, high-performance, ultra-compact circuits required to meet the demands of the products out of just anything. I'd love to see one doi

How is that not feasible? What makes Java innately more capable of handling varying form factors than C++ and Qt?

With the exception of iOS, a single Qt app can run on all of those platforms with minimal modification. (Except maybe WinRT, I know little of it at this point, but Qt can be used in applications for Windows, Linux, OSX, and Android.) Of c

This sort of hyperbolic conflation is exactly why it's stupid to relate a business transaction to "free speech." There is exactly zero relationship between what I said and putting people in jail for speech. (FYI: putting people in jail fo

Right now 10-year T-Bills are pulling about 1.65, and inflation is having a nice bounce between 1.7 and 3. Let's even it out at 2 - either way, yes, you're losing money on ultra-low-risk investments. All you can hope for is to reduce the

That is not true at all. Milo and its little brethren have been used for many years, in place and with the actors. In case you missed the notes about it, these systems come with detection, fail-safes, and kill switches to prevent issues.

It's an interesting competitor for Mark Robert's Milo. Smaller slider/dolly and pan/tilt companies come out of the woodworks right now and are very popular accesories, there're even a couple of small open-source shops in the industry. Obv
