It’s a fair interpretation. A representative’s job is to represent his constituents, not to pass bills on party lines written by oligarchs. The allocation of R/D senators doesn’t factor into this. “What is best for the people of West V

You made an automatic assumption that this bill is in the best interests of the masses. That may not be the case.

China has a President-for-life. That’s not a republic by any measure.

Nothing in these two agreements says anything about respecting Ukrainian sovereignty. How is this not appeasement? “You can have Ukraine, Mr. Putin, but no more.” It didn’t work the last time this was tried in 1939.

I don’t think this is the answer, given that UNIX is from 1970. “man a” would have worked just fine.

I don’t believe it is bad faith interpretation. I used a rhetorical technique where you ask a question which shows where a line of reasoning ends up. The poster said we shouldn’t seek immortality as it goes against evolution. By the exact

So should we gas the elderly as soon as they’re past child rearing age?

There isn’t, so don’t waste your time looking. I spent far too long trying to find the disconnect and came up empty. Don’t waste your time like I did.

Life is very likely to be carbon based (what other element makes 4 bonds, as is necessary for 3D structures?). Where life is carbon-based, decaying life in the absence of oxygen produces hydrocarbons.

My kids love Swift Playgrounds. It is a wonderful way to introduce young kids to programming, in a safe and exciting environment.

Nearly every big fix in an API is technically a breaking change if you want to be pedantic. This kind of collateral damage which requires multiple points of failure doesn’t usually count as a semantic major change.

That wouldn't be large enough a change to warrant a new major SemVer. I'm talking about things like python2 -> python3.

by garmaine 5y ago
Arguably a language should NEVER have breaking changes large enough to warrant a SemVer major version update. Rename or fork the language if you want to do that. Such major language overhauls in the past have been a huge waste of developer

If you dilute the word “nanotechnology” so far as to meaningless, sure.

We’ll I certainly walked away with an understanding that it was all predestined, which annoyed me to no end because it felt like a ridiculous and meaningless cop out. But maybe I misread something that was actually more ambiguous?

That was the conclusion of the movie. I remember because I hated it so much. It destroyed the story imho.
