I was surprised to discover the same thing i Australia, where people pay tuition. I think we should be critical for this as an argument for tuition.

You can do the math and calculate risk of collisions. And then put that in relation to the context: It is a single repository, probably with very few commits since it is research and not a highly active commercial product. You could probabl

I think this is an elegant point. The URL is clickable and if you clone the repo you are still able to find that exact file from the link alone. Actually, I would use this argument that people should refrain from using url shorteners in pap

I think this comment very well encompasses the modern discourse on sustainability: With a complete lack of a principle of proportionality. The problem by elevating the seriousness of flushing a toilet, is that it dilutes more severe cases w

I'd probably rather drink this than most brackish water out there. I am quite sure there are more naturally occurring reservoirs of water that is strictly more lethal; also non-diluted.

They should hire more people to do things they have not successfully automated! Oh, maybe that would carve too much into the profit margin? Luckily we do have governance that can make companies comply with doing ethical business -- even tho

Absolutely not. Proposing that just because something mimics something then it equates it is so absurd.

This is a good reminder that book writing should not be for the income it generates, but for the joy of writing! To me, this is truly inspiring and I certainly need to get back into my writing habbit!

Boeing, isn't that the investment company with a side hustle on air plane manufacturing?

It should be OK. It says "10Gb" not "10GB", ie. it is a 10 giga bit file. (while it is untraditional to measure file size in bits, it should be perfectly fine)

I do use Office365 on linux, I even develop Office plugins under Linux. So it would seem like a transition to cloud software would be the enabler of Linux based operating systems?

Those are not extensible enough as they are bound to the transport layer.

Can you provide an alternative toothbrush with easily exchangeable batteries as easily obtainable a the one in question? Markets are not efficient nor complete. And telling ourselves that is a lie.

I am quite sure the discourse on "rent seeking activities" come with a negative connotation in the wealth of nations. (forgive me if I am wrong, it is some years ago I read it)

What you are running into is the pureness of Haskell. The `head` function in Haskell is only partially defined. What you see as an exception is a case where a function is not defined. This is all by intent. defining a `head :: [a] -> May

I got a bit confused here. It appears the author talks about explicit imports vs. implicit imports. Ofcause it would be alright to not import anything in a module meaning that it would have no external dependencies.

I guess, when you curate your own consumption you pick what speaks to you? Music is not like a new phone. There are no "upgrades". Maybe it is futile to conceptualize old / new music? We have music, and then just an expansion

Governments are quite good at managing the financial system with the tools currently in use. But there is a chance that we will see change to those tools. Like we previously abandoned the gold standard to get to the current system, there is

In that case it would be bad to b cut corners, ey? Though these were not the cases I talked about. I talked about implementing features that are not necessary for the product because of dogmatic reasons.

One would say that static types has grown out of research in formal methods, and hence, is a consequence of formal methods.

There are plenty of solutions to authentication. But really, don't implement a user system if it is not needed. There are plenty of other ways to secure on applications, which are way out of scope for this discussion. The main point is

Not so much snarky as a commentary on the diligence. Yes, if there is mission critical software that affects millions of people, do all that stuff. If your pdf -> stardust service is more a convenience then don't spend hundreds of t

Op never mentioned Linux as an alternative. The original post was not about a comparison.

I recently had to develop a small application for the MS ecosystem (An Office add-in) and as I use Pop OS as my daily driver, I had to switch to my Windows partition. While this was considerably simpler than what you describe, it was a very
