Yes, your post does sound "grumpy". If you're aiming for civil discourse, then there's no reason for you to phrase your attacks as condescending rhetorical questions.

"[Sarcastic hyperbole] [Unprovoked insult]" I don't think this type of commentary belongs here.

I know that there's some subtlety to correctly getting meaning out of probability, and I vaguely remember having similar doubts about my approach because of this. That said, this simple model didn't fail to explain any of the concepts I lea

Simpler: probability is about finding the relative size of a shape. When you want to know A|B, that means you want to know what fraction of B is taken up by the intersection A-AND-B. Well, say you happen to know B|A, or how much A-AND-B tak

Honestly, I'd say that there really isn't. I'm sure you're an upstanding guy, but it's a slippery slope. Maybe acknowledging your pithyness might encourage someone else to start a pun thread. And then we may as well pack it up.

You could presumably define "theft" as owning something without paying the price that has been set for it (in this case, infinity). The bottom line is that you're using this word to talk about a type of ownership which you've judged to be a

Also: should the developers be in violation? I imagine it's a little like (sorry) kiddie porn, where, even if you're the kiddie, society doesn't want you supporting a community that it considers to be negative.

In my completely uneducated view of the world, this situation is different because, whichever supermarket you pay at, you're cashing in on the skill and time which you previously contributed to society. You're also "voting with your dollar"

What's so ridiculous about hjkl? I'm actually an emacs user, and I've gone to great lengths to set up hjkl layouts in my editor and browser. It seems like the perfect setup to me. An inverted T would cause you to reposition a finger every t

While I empathize with your aesthetic preferences, I don't think that you're talking about the same thing as the article. Everyone reads the literary masters in school. No one reads Newton.

I've been on Reddit for four years, and I don't think that it's usable for even hardcore users. The people attracted by the front page invariably find their way to the subreddits too. And the overall mood of the place encourages even the be

I don't get what the fuss is about here. I think that the statement you quoted is explicitly saying that for-profit software isn't a charitable act. Instead, in an implicit comparison to charitable acts, it's saying that for-profit software

Hindley-Milner is powerful, but there are usually multiple ways to construct a value of the correct type. Only one of those ways is the correct way, and I'd want to test my functional code to make sure that this was the way that I chose.

What you sound is pleasing to me, but it also makes me anxious. As one of your listed role models might say, I don't know if it's really so helpful to pin such wild hopes to yourself. When I start feeling like a failure, it helps me to stop
