Afghanistan used to be a normal country in the 70s by Middle Eastern standard. Not too different from Iran, Iraq, or Syria of those days. It hasn't recovered for over 40 years. Iraq doesn't seem like it will recover any time soon.

It might be higher in volume because the data size for a single illegal movie is several orders of magnitude the size of text based media.

According to several people I'd consider authorities on the subject matter, yes it is really a thing. You can measure any aspect of intelligence you want, but in the end all aspects correlate strongly together, and they have predictive

Survival bias. Look it up. Also worth looking up: wishful thinking.

I find it hard to take seriously someone who uses phrases like "non-woman" non-ironically. > Tell that to the literally millions of single parents who do a great job raising kids while millions of two parent households fail at

It's not about being capable. Women get pregnant; men don't. Women have to nurse children (as in breast feed), men don't. When a woman it's pregnant or nursing, she needs support. That's the whole reason why there i

At work you are also a slave to your boss, in a sense. If your boss started to abuse you, wouldn't you rather be a home maker so that your partner deals with the day to day shittiness of having to be in a job? The way to not be afraid

How does it pay less? You get to have a place to live, eat, sleep, all for free, without having to stay away from your children for an extended part of the day.

I really hope there will not be cars flying around that some self proclaimed 1337 hacked in their spare time.

They still transmitted light, they just called it a wave instead of a particle. Am I missing something?

I think unit testing makes sense when you have a function doing some math that can't be easily verified to be sensible by merely glancing at the code for two minutes. I'm not sure there's much use for it in other scenarios.

I think the point of the question was that in Python errors can still happen but they tend to get ignored when writing small scripts. So if one were to explicitly ignore errors in Rust how would the resulting program's behavior differ

That sounds like an excuse for not doing proper intellisence in a text editor. Intellisence never gets in the way in my experience. Rather the lack of it gets in the way.

It would crash but would print an error message along with a stack trace. The rust version will probably just crash with a confusing error.

After years of using vim, I switched to visual studio code because it feels like a plain text editor but has all the features of IDEs that matter to me: intellisence.

It's not just the passion but the ability to excel at it. I believe it's correlated with IQ. Most people want to believe it's teachable, because stating otherwise sounds cruel and elitist, but I see no reason to believe that

It's all nice and everything, but I have few "questions" Is asking people about how they "felt"about the course really a good method of evaluating the course's effectiveness? It sounds like people would always

_My_ main objection to lisp is that it's confusing. I don't mean the syntax is hard to grasp. I mean the way it looks. It becomes very confusing when the program grows in size. This is not unique to Lisp. It applies to all dynamic

Think about that history affected our biology (due to evolution). Consider the case with food. We now have an abundance of food rich with carbs and fats, but if we eat too much of them we get sick, because our bodies were designed with cert

How is it not stereotyping to assume that women are weaker than men?

Of course, I suspect that's what he means, but I also suspect that what he sees as "detrimental" effects on women are actually not. But this is all a bit too abstract. Could you be specific of what these determintal effects a

This kind of thinking bothers me, but I'm not sure how to put my finger on what exactly it is that bothers me, or how to put it into words. The thing with these abstract architecture principles is they are not always practical if you t

It might be interesting to you, but I would challenge you to find a large audience for it. And if this audience exists, why aren't there more mainstream stories catering to them? Surely, this could be an untapped market worth millions

Not _your_ definition of sexism, apparently. If you define sexism in such broad terms that it includes both bad and neutral things, the word will lose its meaning.
