You clearly did not watch the video. I don't care what your cohort of "alt-right" kids are up to or what outmoded lessons you vainly try to impress upon them. There are real, living, breathing, human beings who now feel empow

I think it's a great tutorial for setting up multi-platform cross-compilation. I'm just not sold on Rust as a 'scripting' language :)

>Writing it in Rust means I can compile it and hand it to him, and he can run it. And that’s it. As wonderful as they are, the fact that languages like Python, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. require having the runtime bundled up with them

Many universities are private property, and students have a say in how they are used, hence school-sanction safe spaces existing in the first place.

by fnovd 10y ago
That's a pretty one-sided view of safe spaces. I don't think "safe spaces" are meant to be so radically exclusionary, though it's obvious why they can end up that way. It's to give people an opportunity to talk

I think that's exactly what they were supposed to be. As for "taking over someone else's area," to me that's just politics. There are ebbs and flows of power and control. Trump's victory is going to legitimize

I don't have a problem with safe spaces. To me, they're like office break rooms. Sometimes you just need a minute to disengage. But, if you're spending your whole day in there, I'm going to question why you show up to wo

Waiting for your turn to speak isn't the same as being silenced. Being asked to listen to the opinions of others isn't the same as being asked not to have an opinion. 'Entitlement' is the relevant buzzword here.

Both games are made by the same company and have a similar feel. EUIV has a high learning curve but is very fun once you get a hang of it. There are play-throughs you can watch on YouTube or Twitch, which I'd argue are more informative

An anonymous source is vetted by the news agency which reports on the story. You're trusting the news agency to do their due diligence and think critically about the information they are given. The source is rarely completely anonymous

It's not saying that intelligent organisms have no sense of reality, rather that they only see as much of reality as is advantageous to their reproduction and continued existence.

\u000A\u002F\u002A is the unicode for the beginning of a multi-line comment (\u000A\u002A\u002F being the end of one). The Java compiler will translate it as a comment while the PHP interpreter will ignore it (see https://www.red

What if your government voted for a lifetime stipend of $10000/month for everyone over 65, to be paid for by higher taxes on renters, students, and earners? I think there is a breaking point where it is unacceptable to support the want

In this analogy, they're not looking for the code to "work". They simply want it to compile.
