AFAICT it's been rigged since the beginning. I'm just glad someone took the time to finally understand / document what's actually happening.

In my experience, most people have good intentions when it comes down to it. I think the place for you to start is trying to engage people who you think totally disagree with you, or you think are too stupid / low EQ to know any better

I mean, try to fix the underlying problem. Why are people acting in this way you don't like, what's causing that? Answer that and you'll either get more sympathy for people, or discover something great to help them.

What are you doing about it besides complaining? If the answer is nothing, that might be a good place to start. Trying to fix the problem usually either results in a) fixing the problem b) a deeper understanding of the problem.

And I wager everyone commenting otherwise knows that. Not really. If it happens once, it can / will happen again. In my opinion a bug is a bug and should be fixed. But I do agree this attitude does seem prevalent.

Runit is / was awesome but how is this news?

You also take a performance hit, which however subtle, can be hard to justify when making a relatively big 'upgrade'.

Not really, browsers still provide native JSON parsing ability - which is faster (and easier to implement) than most other parsing you would write inside JavaScript.

I stopped drinking the REST cool aid years ago, for pretty much the same reasons. It's not that HTTP APIs aren't useful - of course they are - it's the religious adherence to REST doctrine that is harmful. I take the author&#

As far as I understand, chips are designed with many redundant pathways for exactly this reason. I think its a rather important part of the design process, but someone who knows better should probably say.

This is the first time I've read about it, but I too was impressed by the leadership. I also must say that I'm pleased with the outcome of this election.

Yes. I keep trying to like Atom because I want to have native WebView buffers while I'm editing. Every time I try it, I end up wondering how anyone can be comfortable using it. I'm not sure how much of that is due to instability t

Would you still object if the tables had the heading 'ANSI C Equivalent', for example, instead of 'C Equivalent'? They are clearly defined relative to C, so is your problem with the lack of explicit version? Or do you ob
