It doesn't have to be supernatural. We know, for example, that dogs can smell various diseases. Also, someone pointed out that as people age and become ill, they tend to do less outside the house, and shy animals will start to come out

While I appreciate any experiments in making CLI more approachable to the public, I do disagree with the author's assertion that CLI has "low" discoverability and interactivity. Many modern CLI environments have excellent d

Not just PowerShell, but also zsh and even (tricked-out) bash to some extent. Not to mention REPLs such as ipython and others.

In a discussion about new police techniques, I agree that it's far more appropriate to compare Newark's current homocide rate with its historic rate.

Why don't you at least look into the study methodology before answering with such certainty? Since Pew Research uses the same questions, there's no shifting of the "Overton Window" (I'm well aware of the concept). S

by monoideism 5y ago
Agreed. It would likely take a half-a-dozen full-time devs several years to fully re-implement Rust, if they're highly skilled. A gcc rustc backend is the way to go, clearly. That company would have been better off paying for that.
