This is an absolutely horrendous claim. Every person is different, there is absolutely no replacement for face to face talk for me and my current co-workers. I need it, if my company decides it'll be replaced with written-only communic

Turkey was also (briefly) a functioning democracy but it also never had a "realistic" path to membership, even though it was one of the older member candidates. Turkey still is a democracy on paper, and no one knows what will happ

There is also no mechanism to leave under e.g. US Constitution (i.e. US States can never legally leave the Union). Similarly, no way to leave NATO, or any federal sovereignty that I know of. So, this seems hardly odd; given UK was able to

Wouldn't that be insecure? (using an old version of OpenSSL). Why don't you modify the hard-coded `no-ssl3` config and try re-compiling?

I remember reading this as a child (maybe in elementary school) and it affecting my writing. I have to admit, especially when writing something technical, forgetting about this and focusing on making small, easily-understandable sentences c

Exactly, it means nothing to me when some workers say they're ok with their job when I see evidence dozens upon dozens of their coworkers are abused. It means nothing because I have no reason to assume they won't turn back on thei

I mean, it depends on the accent, but some people use "kinda" as a filler word without any strong meaning. I didn't perceive "kinda" to qualify "slow" in that sentence to imply it's "a little slo

Hmm, I guess this is merely semantics and some would disagree with me, but I suppose I wouldn't consider that "employment". I don't say this as a value judgement, merely as a legal status. The same way someone would be &

Isn't this a bit backwards? I expect a new hire to understand that they can't put all their initiatives into the product, certainly not a joke, unless they're explicitly told otherwise. I'd expect a new hire to understan

Unelaborated nihilism is the most useless of all arguments. If we were to take your point to extreme, we wouldn't get out of bed because everything will disappear one day. So, for a claim like this to contribute something to the conver

Rust type system has primitive traits Send and Sync that formalize behavior expected for safe multithreaded concurrency. This way compiler can statically analyze the program and determine if it's safe.

You can recognize that cars are going nowhere and it's best if we embrace this fact in our own ways (either by being a car owner, or working around car-designed cities the way we prefer), but still note that our cities could have been

Sometimes I'm exactly likes this too. Even some of my dreams are just purely arrays of words. I just experience it serially throughout the night, almost like reading a book, and then wake up. And when I get into deep thought mode, I&#x

Almost always in terms words. I talk to myself (in the head) all the time. That's my way of thinking. If I don't talk, I don't think. I do however think certain things in terms of images, for example graph theory (in math and

I want to note here that throughout the internet and HN there is this ongoing wisdom that although Rust is very useful, valuable etc writing code in it is very hard because it constantly feels like you're wrestling the compiler. Well,

I am a proud print debugger. I think the key is to be sure you know how to debug using a debugger and know situations where that'll be more efficient. If the trade-off is small, I think sticking to your preferred method is ok. I writ

In a big application, wouldn't rounding to a random direction (a feature GNU MP supports) be the most accurate probabilistically? If you round up or down all your numbers and you perform a lot of arithmetic operations, you create a lot
