We shouldn't just repeal it. You abuse it's existence and the appeal to drive investment in property. Have the repeal not affect existing housing... and not affect housing built for some short period afterwards. In places where

read your comment right after I posted mine suggesting something like this wrapping the CLI.

That said, someone could probably code a locally hosted react app that wrapped the CLI, and also indicated/logged what commands were run, output, errors, etc. I love CLI, I live in vim and tmux as much as I can, but I think point and c

You should have a separate output for humans, instead of having a flag for it, and programs which are the last in a chained series should default to it, but you could also redirect stuff to it in the middle of piping. I'd love if the b

No, the main differences are on the upside, with an etf you tend to get a better net expense ratio, and they can help you avoid some cap gain tax because of how they can handle stock exchanges, and on the downside, bid spread when there is

I am actually becoming a bigger fan of etfs. Generally lower fees, can set a limit instead of buying/selling at end of day blind, and you actually get the dividends from the stocks for a dividend etf. I am not at all clear why you wou

This is pretty normal. Remember 90% of code is crappy. Your job is to make something work, and then you can go back and make it work better.

Something about the way the borders around the photos shrink while scrolling bugs me. I guess it feels a little akin to how the paintings change in the Disney land/world Haunted Mansions. It's not horrible, but I'm not sure

Black people being poor is not incidental, but the results of systematic oppression and discrimination, for work, credit, housing, and other resources. Go look at the wikipedia article on redlining. And this is not a past problem, banks wer

given that they have to craft a design for an apparatus based in part on a knowledge of chemistry so they understand the experiment, thermodynamics, as well as material science, etc, I wouldn't be surprised if it's more complex th

Some deep thoughts on what I suspect will be a fairly big issue for medical and insurance databases, especially if polygamy is ever legally recognised. Though if it's medical insurance, you probably can't drop the gender and sex

It is, but occasionally I get thrown a question that I don't expect and I give a suboptimal answer. And occasionally I don't know what their takeaway from different answers are. Like when they ask how hard I'm looking or wh

Why can't we just throw data into a database and have it optimize it? Well I suppose we could. We could probably build a set of tools that optimized a database of separate tables with connections between them. That's not a horri

Free offerings make people devalue what they get. Better to make it cost $99 or something but make it easy to get a free trial.

I'd just note that blind evaluation could be hard because of systematic discrimination biasing how you evaluate a candidate. For example, if you look at who has spoken at conferences before in your blind evaluation, it's blind, b

The number of Western Films allowed in China is limited, and they all tend to do well. It's a soft power Beijing has learned to wield deftly that has led to some marked changes in the film industry.

This is sad, but apt-get and most Linux package managers require sudo to install stuff. Homebrew doesn't. I love Linux, Mint with Cinnamon that was my main desktop environment for 4+ years, but I'm typing this on a mac.

Yes but since they have to be based on probable cause and taken before a judge, there is a higher bar. But really, pain killer abuse should, in a perfect world, be a health matter, not a DEA matter, unless you are getting enough medication

I think if you sell to famous/powerful people, it can be. At least high class prostitution seems to work that way from what I've read.
