This is what makes me skeptical about the possibility of the virus offering general protection. We have this immune system that provides us with protection from infection if we've already had measles, to the point that it will protect

I would love to see someone try this experiment: let's say we pay teachers $200K/year, gave them huge discretionary budgets, and put a lot of performance pressure on them. What would happen in place like Newark? I'm not sayin

Sorry, yes, I meant "foos.foos='value'", which AR writes because the code generating it doesn't pay attention to what joins you've attached (or in this case, haven't) and what ambiguities that might create

People pick their tools per-project, so I would put it as "if you need to build a database with multiple consumers, AR will be a less valuable choice for any of them, and you are thus much less likely to use it for that project".

In the absence of instructions telling it to do something different, AR relies on the convention that instances of a class Foo are stored in a table called "foos", regardless of what database system you're using. That cuts do

I thought this discussion was whether it's reasonable to expect Comcast to peer for free, which it is. (AnthonyMouse's answer is exactly right.) But now somehow this discussion is about the distribution of costs across Comcast&#x2

How so?

Your question confuses me. If your website is cached on a CDN, Comcast users still have to connect to the network that hosts that CDN, and Comcast accomplishes that by using a peering or transit relationship. The CDN won't magically sp

> Comcast wanting Cogent to pay more to transit all that Netflix data That doesn't make sense to me. Comcast's customer isn't Cogent; Comcast's customer is the end user who sends them a check every month for access to

For the curious, the request was to share pictures under the hashtag #MyNYPD [1]. The hashtag now mostly consists of meta discussion and news coverage, but there have been a lot of police brutality pictures with that tag. [1] https:/&

I was hoping you could give a source not because I was questioning the veracity of your statement, but because I wanted to learn more about it, specifically what kind of data that would be and what you do with it. I bet there are a lot of i

I agree you should learn the rules, because that will make the software work better. But if a rule turns out to be easy to accidentally break, we should change the rules. (And we don't have to change the rules of C per se; we can just

I don't agree with almost any of this. To begin with, I think the reason you don't see this as a real language problem is because of status quo bias. Here's one way to think about it: your compiler (or interpreter or on-the-f

"Don't try this at home" is good practical advice for building real systems that have real users. It's terrible pedagogy, though. You have to learn somehow, and trying it at home is actually how you do that.

Leave. Seriously, walk away. Here are some thoughts: 1. The situation is poisoned. If you stay and force a battle of wills, it will be hugely distracting in a way that adds no value to the company (and remember, building a great company is

I was curious about that. Is multiplying a string by a boolean idiomatic Python? I don't write nearly enough Python to know, but it strikes me that this might be more like writing French using lots of obscure words.

I suspect you're being downvoted for having a dismissive tone in the same breath as you admit to not understanding the problem space. My guess is that the marketing copy on the site isn't targeted towards you, so it shouldn't

Strongly disagree, though I'd never downvote you for that. Why did the US go to such great lengths to hide its involvement? You might answer that the US's checkered past in foreign policy (coups, assassinations, drug wars, oil war
