C++ is two and a half decades older than Rust. Come back to this comment in 25 years and see how well the pleasure of Rust's design has held up.

By staying out you are contributing to the spread of a virus that society at large is ill-prepared for. You have no excuse either. This shouldn't be hard for a grown adult to understand. If your behaviour is only responsible on the a

Clickbait title. The conclusion is: > I am fighting an “overlogging” culture. When logs are used just for no good reason. Because developers just do it without analyzing costs and tradeoffs. The article would have been better if it start

> "learn programming well enough and you'll know if some piece of code works as expected without running it." That is 100% true. Obviously the code needs to be self-contained (not calling into other unknown code) but so do

It was, by 1.4 degrees. 1924-25 was similarly warmer than the baseline at that time. The article describes an above-average year on top of a warming trend.

I explained why your number 14 was not comparable with the other numbers in my first comment. If you claim not to understand it, unless you are innumerate, I struggle to see how you are arguing in good faith.

I'm not sure what you consider "hysteria", since you haven't said, but in case you forgot, the comment you replied to was about people staying home and canceling travel plans, and the economic impact of this, not about h

An interesting question! As a guess, there should be some slack and elasticity in the last two gears or so, which you could get out if you used enough force. Beyond that, the effective torque is reduced by 100x or 1000x already, which means

Your argument against caution would have worked just as "well" in China after the first 14 cases, but if you had made that argument then, think how stupid it would sound now with what has already happened in Wuhan. None of the ann

Oh my. That would indeed be interesting, if only the method could even have a hope to show such a thing. From the abstract: > When positive expressions were reduced, people produced fewer positive posts and more negative posts; when nega

Are you saying the paper itself is interesting, or that what the paper says about Facebook is interesting? The actual result (people who see positive or negative messages are more likely to post the same) seems so obvious and uninteresting

"The risky thing" here is a text string. So yes, you should be able to accept an arbitrary string and store it in your database without shooting yourself in the foot, and the same when you read it out of your database and put it i

It's not illegal to mention it. It's illegal to not hire someone for that reason. For that reason, mentioning it would be stupid, whether you are discriminating illegally or not, and so it's a common misconception that mentio

You can use it anywhere you want. Whether it's a good idea or not, like most anything in JS, is a matter of opinion.

I forgot about that when writing my comment but yes, V8 made that change along with "shadow classes" or whatever the object specialization stuff was called. Heady days for JS performance. In retrospect if something was going to be
