> Hoarding these advantages may make life better for everyone. Ew. What a gross thought. I guess it's convenient to believe for a privileged person, but, ew.

> Sexual violence ... white people ????? Obviously, I was referring to men as the oppressing group on this point. Re. the rest, let me make sure I understand your position. "As long as there is someplace black people are worse off t

Again, these are questions about your ethical framework that are not answerable by me. Personally I find it detestable and anti-social to try to hoard unearned advantages based on race and gender. If you were my friend and admitted this to

Where did I say it was his fault? If I said that, it was an error. It's not relevant whose fault it is. (Except if you're referring to the fault of not knowing that he's privileged. That is his fault.) Why should he care? Tha

It's possible that someone from another race or gender feels that white men have it tough. I've never met such a person.

White men do not understand, any more than I understand what it feels like to be a rabbit. Your comment is a clear example of that failure -- actually, it's worse, because you don't even understand the problem intellectually. Some

So why are you asking that the standards committee do it?

by jamesaguilar 12y ago
It's not really the responsibility of the standard committee, right? C also has no standard ABI.

Yep, although my computer is fairly advanced, so maybe that would not work so well on a slow computer.

Programs might run a third as fast, but most of these games are not so taxing as to even use a third of a modern computer's resources. So they work fine in the browser.

I'm puzzled at why it seems strange to you. I find the differences between cultures interesting, and I am led to believe this is a fairly common fascination.

I find it fascinating that despite not having the house+back yard that many Americans strive for, the Spanish are happier with their housing situations than we are. As a recently minted homeowner myself, I must say I can see the attraction

Not necessarily. You could certainly have some quantifiable metric. For example, you could draw the line at, say, 80% of the works on offer. In this case, that wouldn't be necessary. There may be a fine line somewhere where you could a

I have heard this view, but is it actually supported by the data? That is, do comebacks happen with any significant frequency in high-level DotA? For example, in all of the finals of the recent International, there was a leader at 10m who w

What an odd question. "If the government wants to do a bad thing, shouldn't they do it a good way?" Doesn't the willingness to do a bad thing kind of imply that they will be willing to do it a bad way?

Very interesting. So, at a minimum, you must disclose that a thing is your property to prevent illegal searches of that thing from being admitted in a case against you. That means that if you can be convicted under either of - thing.Be

The airlines are proof that wide profit margins are not necessary for massive gains in customer experience. (In the airline case, this experience is in the realm of vastly lower ticket prices, rather than an actual comfortable flying experi

Yep, and other languages handle that better by only forcing you to use the iterators for subranges when you need them, which at least at my job is the minority of the time.

Personally, I like straight talk. I'm happily employed, but if I weren't, this would increase my desire to work at Reddit, not decrease it.

Why stop there? You should just provide the query opcode program directly to the db! Point being, different folks like to work at different levels of abstraction.

That is probably the weakest Godwin-ing of a thread I've ever seen. Eliminating an unthinking species for good reasons is no no way morally equivalent to massacring an ethnicity for no particular reason.

I don't get it. Why would you think about moving just because you can't wash your car or water your lawn for a couple of months?

I am curious how they will clean the pipeline between beers. You don't want to contaminate one beer with another, and obviously it will be important to keep it free of pathogens as well. This is really cool though.

IMO the real issue is that a competent logging framework doesn't block app code to sync the log to disk. The buffer should be swapped out under lock, and then synced in a separate thread. Yuck.

There's nothing wrong with covering a general rule and leaving the exceptions to another article.
