If you read the article, you'd know that the problem isn't poaching, it's loss of habitat. The article more specifically calls out farm land. In that case, essentially all eater share blame proportional to the energy and land

English isn't "the" official language, it's one of the official languages. And, by a wide margin, you're better off knowing Cantonese.

Not crazy about them either. For me, the issue is that they're basically gods (level 8 civilisation) and everything just feels like one big deus ex machina. Excession stood out as better than the rest.

Couple spots where I think an inattentive driver could have easily rear-ended the car. ~0:55 mark is a prime example. I understand that whether the driver was paying attention or not, he or she would be at fault, I'm just pointing it o

Not a python developer so I was surprised when the built-in json library has a flag allow_nan which is True by default. Also, not invalid, but surprising / annoying (a while to debug). An empty lua table is the same as an empty lua arr

My non-node specific suggestions: 1 - Don't catch errors unless you can actually handle them (and chances are, you can't handle them). Let them bubble up to a global handler, where you can have centralized logging. There's a

Scaling is about design, not about running on slow, unstable and expensive servers. If you want scale, you need to design software for your own needs. And, unless you're building your own datacenter, chances are infrastructure should b

Yup. I don't know if Trump's a con man. I don't know if he's a sexual predator (doesn't look good though). But he is a racist. Even if you agree with some of what Trump says (audit the fed!), the racism is such an b

It's not an all-or-nothing. It's an extra piece of information. There might be valid reasons to remove it (it hurts the community, it leads to negative behavior, .... I forget why they took it off). But when it comes to trying to

Because there are a lot of topics, even in my professional field, where I don't have the necessary foundation. Because sometimes a comment reaffirms or conflicts with my evaluation and it's useful to have a weight assigned to that

Removing the vote count was a step back. You end up with highly positioned comments that are factually wrong and no way to weigh the corrections made in replies. If you saw that a comment had 20 votes, but a reply had 500, you'd have s

For the jargon: I'm making it clear that I'm responding but I'm not Hondor (aka, the parent comment to your comment). You don't generally have to be explicit, but since your questions were very much directed at him, I di

I understand the spirit of your comment, and it's probably a fair summary for anyone unfamiliar with at-will employment, but (a) a lot of this is state-specific, not US wide as you indicate (b) many states have laws specifically to pro

Your heading down a slippery slope. If they did something wrong, they have a right to face and defend themselves against that crime. It seems like you're advocating against due process. And maybe...maybe, I'd agree that the ends j

Not your parent. This is a complicated situation, but I think you guys are conflating two points. Is superior orders a valid defense? No. [1] And while I'm loosely in the camp that feels that the 2nd Iraq war was a war of aggression,

We have a very poor record. Slavery is old yet still with us (and not isolated to "barbaric" cultures, like we tell ourselves). We treat animals horrifically. If past (and present) action is any indication, it seems inevitable tha

I agree. Quality is improved as developers start to understand, get involved in, and own the operation side of running their system. Ops ought to be an enabling force. But, I do wish that anytime anyone writes about ops or infrastructure, t

Which isn't necessarily a problem. Just put X shard on the same machine. If the largest city can be handled by a single server, I generally agree with your parent. I've thought about this problem before, both for a related problem

Read-heavy APIs, which I like to setup as: A central location to take writes. Writes to this location go into a database and a durable, at-least-once, queue (writing to the queue is as important as writing to the database). Then you put you
