I think GPs “lay” may be like “lay person” which is not the use in the poem.

Have you tried signing a piece of paper with a pen and using Preview’s signature scan feature? It creates a very realistic looking signature in my opinion.

Preview on Mac OS can do this. You hold your signature up to the camera and then it creates an image you can add to any pdf.

You implied the price change wasn’t massive, but it was. This is what you said: > A 52% correction in price would be a dire situation indeed. A 52% correction in multiple feels like a semblance of sanity is returning.

Based on your definition, then any static analyzer is a type system, because type information and the usage of those types is basically all that’s available for static analysis. Types define what operations can be performed. The borrow chec

Rust's borrow checker isn't a type system. It's a static analyzer that tries to determine if it can figure out when to free your allocation.

Sure, but the point is that if you choose to do it, then your behavior is not a disorder, it's just a weird choice that you're making. Just like drinking heavily doesn't automatically make you an alcoholic.

It’s true, but an eating disorder doesn’t mean eating scantly, or even throwing up after every time you eat if that’s a choice you make. Eating disorders are compulsions, and those that suffer from them aren’t able to choose not to do them.

Regarding Kanye West, I think that might just be your social bubble. I know multiple people who seem to randomly start talking about Kanye West songs totally unprompted. And similarly, your dislike of auto tune likely reflects your cultural

This seems equivalent to saying “technology doesn’t change anything,” which obviously has numerous counterexamples over the last 50k years.

We only move a small portion of the 40 billion tons. Most of the mass of CO2 is oxygen, which was already present in the atmosphere before we combined it with carbon.

There are many examples of such phenomenon throughout history. However, there are always economic incentives for those with knowledge to strike out on their own to increase their personal gain. That’s generally why such knowledge-monopolies

I have a young child. I love hanging out with her, but it’s very repetitive. She’s literally entertained by me holding a rubber giraffe in front of her for hours on end. I don’t blame people for getting bored after days / months. But s

They don’t need devices. Parents choose to give them devices because hanging out with kids can be tedious.

But would more density really solve the problem? An inability to produce $800 per household will make anything hard.

I find it hard to believe that building a road is so expensive. Some random website I found claims the cost of a two-lane undivided road costs $3 million per mile in an urban setting. Looking at the satellite imagery of Mississauga linked e

Being able to close an open resource when a function returns is generally useful. It has nothing to do with error handling.

That still doesn’t explain the scam.

It would be nice to know what the scam entails.

Your viewpoint is at a more broad level than mine. I definitely think arts benefit society, which is in line with what you're saying. But at a human level, those who unsuccessfully pursue the arts suffer. With their most productive yea

I prefer to maintain my anonymity. I'm not sure why you're personally attacking me for expressing my opinion. The point of my comment was that the ego of an artist is only self-serving. Obviously not every pursuit can end in succe

I hope so. I’ve created things used by hundreds of millions people, but maybe that’s not a good definition of “better”. But whether or not I’ve made things better is irrelevant. What’s important is that at least I tried.

Why do you think that? I have many friends who have aspired to be artists and musicians. They all do it out of a selfish desire to have others appreciate their work. For every one successful artist, there are tens of thousands of others tha

I disagree. I find all artistry largely a selfish pursuit. Sure, a small percentage of artists touch others' souls, but mostly it's people trying to realize their poorly conceived vision to the ultimate benefit of no one.
