Neurotoxin for insects = terrible evidence of toxicity in humans. We go by evidence of toxicity in humans, and all evidence shows it isn't toxic in the doses people consume it. If you want to say we haven't discovered the secret t

Ehhh... That doesn't sound right. It's more that the perception is someone is stuck up and prudish if they don't drink.

This is pretty lazy reasoning. This argument is so general it could apply to any company doing anything people don't like.

It doesn't sound like they are trying to profit off of Microsoft's design. They're reacting to the reality that Microsoft has a near monopoly in the word processing market, and many users are much more familiar with that inte

Yeah, it's definitely not there yet. And quite a few Star Trek episodes center around ambiguities in this kind of "programming".

I was thinking this originally, but as I read it, it seems the referenced paper is much more narrowly focused. The idea is that the studies involved are easier to do on late-stage patients because mortality is the benchmark and people who a

What's interesting though is that debugging hyperparameters like this is much more at the level of human thought, rather than the nitty-gritty of programming. It's much closer to the Star Trek concept of programming "Computer

> This has changed little 250 years later Surely it's changed more than a little . I think it's possible to say there's still work to do without having to claim that race relations remain essentially unchanged from the 17

The same arguments could be made for digital music, yet somehow they still make it work without DRM

This is called the doctrine of first sale, and it's been fine for physical products since forever. (The maker of the chair only makes money on the first sale of the chair, everyone else plays for "free") If you're going

Now, if only we could get rid of the DRM infesting the games industry like they did with music. It's seriously ridiculous that you can't get a refund for or resell downloaded games. The plastic disk doesn't fundamentally chan

The point is you are supposed to avoid undefined behavior, precisely because these things can be different between compilers. In theory, this lets the compilers optimize better for a specific platform/cpu, while avoiding changing the m

I wasnt taking issue with you giving your opinion, I was taking issue with the reasoning behind your opinion. Your comment amounts to "I have concluded they won't be able to do anything new. My reasoning is that I cant think of an

Not to bag on you, but this is exactly how apple comes out with a product that blows people away and reinvents itself. All the stuff you're thinking of is exactly the shit people said about the ipod and the iphone. Just because you can

Ha, I read "Javascript" at first. I guess my brain has a pretty strong pattern for "New web framework for X" at this point

This isn't a JDBC driver since RethinkDB isn't a SQL database, but it fulfills the same role as a JDBC driver. In addition, RethinkDB doesn't have a textual query language, it's structured data, so the bare driver looks

Django is pretty tightly coupled with its orm. The last time I looked into it, the mongo/django solution was essentially a fork of django with the data layer completely rewritten

The way Haskell and rust solve this is that they constrain the types of the overload. If you want to overload +, you implement the Add trait, which has to be a certain type. The Add trait is googleable, and it provides a hint as to how the
