I have no idea why you are being down voted. Everything you said had borne true in many other cases.

Boy, am I glad for your comment. I hadn't even thought of this, but now, I think I will use unique error codes for this reason.

I used it extensively in my bc ( https://git.yzena.com/gavin/bc ) in the math to tell the compiler that the out BigNum is not aliased by any of the in operands. (See https://git.yzena.com/gavin/bc&#x

If you have a blog, make a production version of your comment and post it because what you said is something every developer should at least consider.

Can you put a link to your comment in your original blog post? I am really happy to hear from you what you meant, and adding that to the original might help the message. Also, I was one of the readers that managed to interpret your original

I had some of the same thoughts reading the article, but I could not articulate them as well as you did. A good resource for the details about what constitutes a breaking change is Rich Hickey's talk about Clojure's Spec. [1] [1]:

Ouch. I'm not the GP. I agree with you, but I feel for you. The fact that you are worried is a good sign, though!

Don't know why you are getting downvoted. You and I may disagree on a lot of things, but this is one thing where I have come to see you are correct, and moreso over time.

Rubbish? No, I liked your analogy. :)

I actually found the opposite of you, that GNOME is less keyboard friendly. I guess each person is different...

That last two sentences sum it all up perfectly.

You make great points. However, I still have learned how to pump brakes in rain, and I taught it to my wife. The reason is that the better mechanism, anti-lock braking systems in this case, can always fail. Joel Spolsky had a whole post abo

I disagree. I think this is the same "mechanism, not policy" debate repackaged, and I certainly think mechanism is better than policy, where the author of the post thinks otherwise. That said, I think that going all-in on "me

Got a Keyboardio Model 01 [1], switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout, and started doing exercises, all at the same time. I also recently switched from GNOME to the keyboard-centric awesome window manager [2]. [1]: https://www.ki

Can I just say that I love how transparent Daniel is about curl's security status? I have never gotten good at using curl, nor have I ever used libcurl, but I am tempted to put some time into it, just because of that transparency.

If you are not willing to die for them, you will lose them. We are, in fact, losing them now, so yes, now is the time to be willing to die for them.

Cool. Where does that dispute the fact that those who are vaccinated are still breeding grounds for new variants of the virus?
833.
by ghoward 6y ago
Not the GP, but those laws are unconstitutional. If we don't assert our rights, we will lose them. "Those who will give up liberty for security [from a virus] will lose both."

That article gave no numbers. It made a claim and didn't back it up.

Vaccinated people are still breeding grounds for a virus; they can still be carriers. Vaccines just give people the antibodies to not be affected by a virus.

Not the GP, but I have a question for you: if the vaccine works, why would I be putting others in danger by not getting it? Can't they get vaccinated instead? If they can't, doesn't that just mean the vaccine is defective? As

Thank you for your kind words, but it's actually just habit from the way my parents raised me.

Note that I didn't say Google let businesses pay for reviews; all I said was that "I wouldn't be surprised" if Google let businesses do the spam filtering and flag reviews. What I really meant is that I don't trust

Mine probably got flagged, but not because of curse words or ALL CAPS because, as far as I remember, it didn't have either of them. Edit: I just checked, and the name of the business, which I quoted in my review, is ALL CAPS, so maybe
