Type out the question in full in a text editor, then paste it after the greeting if you're worried about delay. Although if you're posting in a channel, I don't even think it's an issue; people will see that you are typi

"Ask" as a noun - "What is the ask?" "Build out" instead of just build. "Actionable" - although it is a real word, it is a legal term, not a synonym of practical.

Not all are dealt with "unceremoniously." See Alexander Litvinenko[0], who was not only poisoned but in such a way that there was no plausible deniability for FSB. More than anything they appeared to be making a spectacle of their

Not OP, but I think there are two main reasons for this. Firstly if you are a professional you probably only had time to teach yourself what you needed for the job at hand. This is a great skill in and of itself but by definition it favors

Fair enough. In my understanding "smut" is typically a synonym for pornography, and pornography is generally only valued for its ability to arouse or titillate.

Incorrect. It's erotic art, but art nonetheless. Otherwise we wouldn't be discussing it.

Interesting that most of the visible damage seems to be confined to the area west of the highway irrespective of distance from the epicenter - is that just because warehouses are constructed differently to the commercial/residential bu

In the very first reply, dang explains that the account was banned for repeated violations, so it's not just the content of that particular comment that got it flagged, but rather the account itself was banned so the comment was marked

Do companies not have any kind of onboarding process that involves pairing and training? Even if someone knows how to code every project has its own tools and conventions that fresh hires cannot be expected to know. This is really on the co

This isn't a dump, this is a forum specifically meant for sharing code publicly.

Does that really make it any better? It's in the commit history and now it's there for all of us to see. Why on earth anybody would write something like that is beyond me, but doing it in public is mind-bogglingly fucked up and st

Of course it's easy to show declines when you had much higher numbers to start with. The implication here that lockdowns were a mistake is totally specious.

Note the word "probably." This is not a hard and fast rule and there is always room for exceptions, by design. As others have stated, we live in unprecedented times and interesting new phenomena are occurring in the political sphe

I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted here - you have given concrete examples of comments that are bad. Whether one agrees with you or not, this is exactly the kind of answer that OP was looking for.

Probably part of the reason people downvote is that the button is one click away, whereas the flag button for comments is two clicks away and probably many people aren't even aware of it.

They are true simultaneously only if we allow two definitions of "framework" to exist simultaneously. As someone who prefers precise language, I think there should only be one such definition, namely the inversion of control defin
