Do you know how in school, if you cool and you got a funny haircut people thought you were a trend-setter; but if you were a dork, it just make you even more dorky? This is how it is with adults as well. People already thought Trump was xen

The complaint was that it's the people who own the equipment (or shares in it), and not the people who do the work, who are reaping the profit. When the working class had this problem a couple centuries ago, it was solved by building g

Yeah, but those rules are set by the communities that use them.

High quality source? No. But if you're looking at famous European musicians before the 1800s, almost all of them were employees by sort of church or powerful aristocrat.

You're right that German naming rules are overbearing, but you'd have trouble naming a baby "X Æ A-Ⅻ" in a lot of places, including many US states, I believe.

> But why have dense urban cities in the 2020's? Why can't suburbs actually live up to the urb part? A suburb living up to the urb part is really just a town or a small city. As for why you have suburbs, I think the primary rea

One of the most salient thing about rights is that people constantly disagree about them and they often disagree with each other. For example * My right to speak freely and say cruel things vs the right of someone else to live a peaceful li

Some of those issues can be remedied by linting rules (preventing unsafe use of any), but typing of dependencies can be a headache. Even 1st party typing and Typescript dependencies can regularly be wrong if type safety was not important to

Yes, but none of those "experts" were calling it "a normal seasonal virus", they just didn't believe such measures were necessary. SARS-COV-1 didn't require widespread border closures or masking, and it very mu

I don't get how that would solve you problem at all. You can implement a bitcoin miner using functional code then just add an http client as a dependency for getting data to/from the blockchain.

My impression are the prices are pretty similar with exception to dairy, where Canada has more stringent regulations and therefore prices are slightly higher.

True, though most collisions aren't head on, and even when they are, usually only a fraction of the velocity is absorbed because the objects deflect from each other.

Regardless of what you think the motivation is, these things should be debated on their own merits, otherwise you run commit the other ad hominem fallacy where you reject criticism of an idea because of where the idea came from.

> And if CamelCase is so hard to read, why is it the norm for "high level languages" That's over-selling it a bit. It's more common, but not dramatically so. Outside of class names, CamelCase isn't the norm for P

Having used a lot of all the formats, it's argue it's a lot easier to read an a tiny bit harder to type. For typing it's basically just an extra `-` because unless your alternative is nocase. For reading, CamelCase has 2 sign

I don't think you disagreed at all with rjbwork at all, it's just you're using words differently. The article, and rjbwork, use slower to mean "slower when the CPU isn't regularly idling". In this context, Node

Only vaguely. If the DNA was to be compared with our programming languages, it would be like INTERCAL, but a million times worse. Sections of the genome interact not only with the code right around them, but also with code far away, as a re

The problem here is not that "fireman" couldn't in theory be used to refer to both men and women; but that in English it doesn't, or at least not anymore. Historically, the masculine noun class has been used in gender-in

Mild disagree. Emoji aren't that bad, and certainly have their uses; however, most of the time they look dramatically different than the surrounding text, and can be quite distracting. If they're trying to communicate something im

This would be the domain of linguistics, and my understanding is that there's really no clear consensus on anything. Folk etymologies are rarely any better than a "just-so" story, and often they're an entirely fabricated

Looks like you're right. I edited my comment. It looks like there's a couple fairly different changes that are happening: - There's a system to catch CSAM that is either PhotoDNA or something that works similarly. - There&#x2

I guess it sort of depends on what you mean by the algorithm. I'm not an expert on this either, but the general idea is that you pick some sort of thing you want to promote (e.g. engagement), and then you use a really large data set wi

In this case though the algorithm is an "AI" which is short for "complex algorithm that's too obtuse for anyone to really understand". Obviously, if you build a killer robot, it's totally okay as long as you ha
