I still have PTSD from trying to write correct concurrent code in Java. Everything I used to do in Java I now use either Scala/Akka or Go.

Can you be more specific? What do Django, Laravel, or Symfony do right that Rails does so awfully? I have had to use Symfony and everything about it was an inferior/weird Rails.

How on earth can you make such a statement about a fundamental data structure? Please, take CS101 before you you start throwing these kind of assertions around.

Part of the reason for this is that many of the models for Renaissance artists' sculptures of women were actually men.

In my experience time-series is one of the use cases that warrants evaluating a specialized database off the bat. Plenty of databases (mongo ahem) advertise supporting time-series but under fairly pedestrian loads hit a wall and force you t

Well, technically it's a "PHP extension", just one that several distributions include by default.

It means nothing because your argument is fallacious.

I need that stuff to get laid though.

I wouldn't be so quick to call others idiots. Fluoridation has absolutely nothing to do with taste. The reason NYC's water tastes better than NJ's is simply that it comes from a different source.

Are you sure it's not because it's really in sociology?

Ctrl+f "property rights": Phrase not found -- I really don't understand why I'm supposed to slog through such bloviating. https://fee.org/search/?q=protection%20property%20rights seems pretty clear

Like I said, completely invisible to you.

Not trivial at all, just mostly invisible and most of us who've only known modern western societies never give it a second thought.

1) the developer doesn't "bring" business to the area, they are supported by their clients and are responding to economic incentives, same as anyone else. 2) if you do perceive them as "bringing" business, then it&#

No. What you wrote does not make sense.

You contradict yourself. > Advertisers in turn pay Google because it makes them sell more. > Taking the money of the advertisers and not boosting their sales doesn't pay on the long run. Which is it, advertising on Google boosts

I don't understand. You may still pass nil explicitly if the argument defaults to 16?

I don't know exactly what you mean by "art career" with quote marks specifically, but good luck trying. The fact that art majors are baristas and waiters is evidence of my point, not against it. Obtaining an art career is dif

I actually do know what I'm talking about here, and it is true. The art industry has way more supply than demand. This is why art schools can still charge what, purely by the numbers, looks like a bad deal. Some people really want to w

> it is way easier to go to college and get a formal education in science, math, or engineering, and pursue an ongoing adhoc self-directed education in the arts and humanities in your remaining decades of life, than the other way around.

Why not just make the argument default to 16? Is something non-obvious going on?

But you have to ask, why would Google go to all the trouble of being your personal experience curator? Google is not in that business. They are interested in showing you the highest value ad that they can, and obviously that's nail pol

Unless the average of our 2192-strong sample is > $96,857 (doubt it), yes.

It's not a logical argument, and we could go into it blow by blow, but essentially what you're saying is that God doesn't want there to be a logical argument, oh and as to why? That's just a given, which also makes the a

They're doing more volume than the entire taxi industry though. It adds up.
