I am with him on this issue but I have strong doubts about him being able to find a resolution. When I look at the North Korea situation, his health care “plan” and other issues he seems to like going in and talk tough but in the end he get

She talks exactly like PR people for fast food, soda, opioids, guns and cigarettes talk. “Let’s be rational”, “only a small number”, “responsibility”. They will never admit that they are engineering their products to be as addictive as poss

I think that’s nonsense. Cars have much more power than they used to have. They are also much heavier due to all the luxury equipment they are carrying around. If you want responsive then reduce the weight.

Turbocharged engined still need a ton of cooling but yes I think they are more efficient overall .

I think part of it is that Apple doesn’t have many interesting new products. I used it be excited about iPhones or iPads but now they just release variations if the same thing I know already pretty well. Why go to a store? And the wait tim

“The insane software developer in me wants to just smear the time across the US uniformly and do away with timezones all together.” I think China has that. Why not do it world wide? The math would be much easier. Also let’s get a 10 hour da

The US is big enough for the wealthier people to move away to nicer areas.

I tend to agree. It’s an issue where people with less money and hence less power get screwed. Stuff like this happens in West VA all the time with the coal mines.

Even on more than a dozen devices when you think about it.

It’s kind of ironic that cars and power plants work hard on getting rid of that energy.

For example the rider with the yellow jersey won’t try to win a stage if other drivers are around that are not a threat in the overall standing. You see that often in mountain stages.

Read about Schumacher. He made a point of shaking hands with every mechanic, he knew about their personal lives. Pretty much like a politician. He also was also able to take the best people with him. Like Ross Brawn and others.

An F1 driver is also part of team leadership and responsible for building the team. That was schumacher’s strength and a weakness of Alonso from what I have read.

I would like to know more too. Not being able to call java libraries is one of the biggest problems with .NET. There are a ton of java libraries that don’t have good .NET equivalents.

Promotion of alcohol makes as much or little sense as prohibition of marijuana or mushrooms. I guess you can pick your side. But banning one while allowing the other doesn’t make sense.

“It would be kind of dumb on their part. ” Agreed. However they have a long tradition of doing the right thing and then killing it immediately with stupidness and arrogance

I don’t think consistency is a hobgoblin (I hope I understand the meaning correctly). When you are new to a project you should follow the style of what’s already there and not do something completely different. Obviously there may be good r

Sounds good. Let’s hope they won’t change their mind until release in 11/2020.

That’s my point. When you look around you can clearly see that some food items have very negative consequences but we don’t prohibit them. So we shouldn’t prohibit other substances that may have the same or less level of risk.

I hear similar things about Marijuana but I have seen people who smoked way too much until their personal and professional lives suffered. One thing is physical dependency but there is also psychological dependency. All I m trying to say is

I meant “use in a way that’s detrimental to them or others “. How is abuse defined anyway?
713.
by maxxxxx 7y ago
Abuse is possible with almost anything. People abuse food, cars, social media, politics and a lot of other things. I agree that mushrooms are probably not as addictive as other drugs but declaring that nobody will abuse them makes no sense.
714.
by maxxxxx 7y ago
You will always find people who will abuse something. Happened with alcohol, TV, internet and will happen with mushrooms. The question is whether it’s more costly and damaging to prohibit something vs controlling it. I think people are slow

“If you don't put the same type on each return sides of your ternary, you might be in for a nasty surprise.” Definitely true for JavaScript and PHP. I am always surprised what expressions can evaluate to true or false.
716.
by maxxxxx 7y ago
I know ternary operators very well but I still have to think twice when I see them nested “You can't say don't use specific language features because some devs can't be bothered to learn them.” Would you say the same about C+
717.
by maxxxxx 7y ago
I actually prefer the long version. But I think the real trick is to be consistent in style. Parsing ternary operators is a learned skill and so is parsing long if statements. You can get used to both.

Maybe you should tell us who isn't part of the class you are describing. I think it will be a pretty small group.

I see that all the time with internal systems. Let's say the devs didn't add an option to export data a file. This omission can later on trigger other departments to create very expensive workarounds but due to internal organizati

In Buddhism anger is one of the five poisons. It clouds your ability to see the world as it is so you actions probably won't be wise.
