Good point. That wasn't my intention. I meant to steelman his argument, to show that even under those conditions, his argument makes absolute no sense.

So it was a different kind of slavery. Still, God seemed okay with the idea that humans could be bought and sold, and said the fellow humans would then become your property. I can't see how that isn't the bible allowing slavery. A

Since you said in another comment that the ten commandments would be a good starting point for moral absolutes, and that lying is sinful, I'm assuming you take your morals from God. I'd like to add that slavery seemed to be okay o

Why would it be a good starting point? And why only some of them? What is the process behind objectively finding out which ones are good and which ones are bad?

Looks like someone just discovered philosophy... I wish the world were as simple as you seem to think it is.

Let's not forget there are actual people behind open source projects. I think it is extremely rude to say those people should SERVE the users of their open source projects for free. The project "serve" the needs of the mainta

Arrogance? Those people are spending their time and effort on an open source project, without asking a penny in return. I think they are entitled to have restrictions on how bugs should be reported.

I think I've been using AI wrong. I can't understand testimonies like this. Most times I try to use AI for a task, it is a shitshow, and I have to rewrite everything anyway.

I don't use a trackpad. I leave my Macbook closed with 2 external monitors and an external mouse/keyboard.

I saw some responses like this. I have zero Adobe apps in my Mac.

My MacOS has this insane bug where the cursor sometimes won't change to a pointer/loading/any other state on my second monitor. This is really bad, but even worse for me who writes websites for a living, and need to check tha

I hate how people talk about type systems as if there were no trade-offs to be considered. A Hindley–Milner style type system would effectively kill half the features that make Elixir amazing, and worse, would break pretty much all existing

Oh boy, I’d trade one(or easily 2/3) major MacOs version for a year worth of bug fixes in a heartbeat.

You use something else like map/filter/reduce or recursion.

I've been working with functional programming languages for the most part of my career now. Mostly Elixir and Clojure, but some OCaml/Haskell too. I believe after FP "clicks", there is no going back. Everything else feel

What Rust has over other languages that makes it better for writing microservices?

"homoiconicity purists" is probably the wrong term, as Clojure is homoiconic. Probably "Lisp purists" would fit better.

That is like saying you can tell straight away if a website is using a separate CSS file or style="..." attributes. Non-sense.

And why is that a bad thing? It might be the case that bgcolor and cellpadding stopped being used because they didn't support media queries for example, not because they were inline styles.

chain is a global variable. It starts with an empty promise. First call to enqueue changes the (global)value of chain to emptyPromise.then(firstJob), second call to enqueue changes it to emptyPromise.then(firstJob).then(secondJob) and so on

This only works if you have the full list of tasks beforehand.

Well, yeah, the same way you can't use the same password because some websites have weird rules about password length and characters. Doesn't change the fact that you will be able to use the same username in MOST websites, given y

by foxygen 1y ago
As if users wouldn't just use the same username everywhere. So now besides telling them to use different passwords for every website, you also need to tell them to use different usernames.

Except they have billions of dollars to make that bet.
