At least one podcast I listen to (If Books Could Kill) seems to place The Atlantic in the "reactionary center" or at least sympathetic to it. I don't fully grok the term, but it mainly seems to include people who sit near the

In all honesty, I don't see that sort of thing posted except maybe the overly naive excited "omg I love rust" post in /r/rust from someone just learning it which no one should be taking as credible. I do, however, s

Out of curiousity, why would that be considered offensive to Australian aboriginals?

Tomatoes took awhile to take hold, with it not really taking off until the 19th century. I've heard it explained as due to a general distrust of 'exotic' foods and vegetables generally at that time and a belief that it was po

If Rust style editions can work across modules, why couldn't they work across binary libraries and so forth? The whole point is to allow the language to progress while maintaining backward compatability.

I use it to generate art when building new characters in the Pathfinder group I'm in. In the past, I'd build a backstory for a character, but it would still take a while for them to become more well-defined and for me to have a cl

I suspect you're being downvoted because you are demonstrating a lack of understanding of the political situation in Israel. The governing party in Israel has been propped up by ultra-orthodox parties that have no skin in the game beca

I use a daily diary notebook [1] with each page a todo for that day. First thing every day is reviewing the todo for that day, adding stuff that I didn't get done previously to today's or future day's todo. I try to be delibe

I think the Windows Phone was the first from Microsoft with the flat UI. While it didn't take off, I remember a friend who had a Windows phone and thinking how radical and different its UI was.

From what I can tell, the rules of masonry layout result in irregular sorting since, from what I can understand, it fills by row the highest available slot first, but the result visually appears as though it's sorted in columns. So if

While the great oxidation event happened over a prolonged period of time, evidence points to a significant decrease in the size of the earth's biosphere over that time [1]. It's hard to say exactly what happened that early in the

I don't think that's the interesting philosophical point. The interesting part is that out of such a devastating event emerged a much more diverse ecosystem that couldn't have existed otherwise.

Scientists have, in fact, investigated it [1] and concluded it is a natural feature. Reading up on ancient-origins.net seems to suggest that it lets a lot of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories (ancient aliens and so on) creep in alongsid

The article delivers what it promises. While it may not be concise, that doesn't make it clickbait.

I've found the same, although I still remain subscribed. For me, their episode last year "Born This Way" was a low point of their reporting, but there have been a lot of others that I feel really miss the mark on scientific r

I definitely relate with you about the technology bit. My favourite way to play is on a table with dice and a dry-erase grid in front of us to play on. That said, technology has meant that my group of friends who've been playing togeth

I wonder if they've misapplied the Youtube algorithm to searching. Other people who liked the pictures of red flowers also liked green flowers and purple flowers, so let's include that in the results, since that will probably gene

I think you'd need to support your statement that Rust programs are almost universally more complicated to write than C, given equivalent high-level libraries. I'd argue that ADTs, const-by-default, and being expression-based are

I think their point is that this incident and the incident in Japan aren't comparable as that one was caused by a runway incursion and this was caused by some sort of failure in the aircraft itself.

My understanding is that it's a bit of a roll of the dice exactly when the kill screen appears, so in theory you could continue playing longer. I suppose the significance, then, is that it's the first time that someone has played

I got one after I noticed how much my cat liked to jump up to the sink and try to drink from the tap while I was using it. He loves it, and anecdotally seems to drink more than he did without.

I just bought a Taos this past July and the general familiarity of the interior controls (pretty much all buttons) coming from a Mk7 Golf was a big factor in going with it.

I've heard this argument before, but I think it's pretty clear that humans and machines are not equal before the law and the fact that you have the right to make a derivative work doesn't necessarily mean that you can make a

I'm not disputing his complicated legacy, but it seems strange and unjust to me that if he had committed some straight-forward crime, like murdering his wife, we probably wouldn't be talking about his complicated legacy. He would
