Yep! Main reason I use emacs is that I can use just about the same workflow when I'm programming in python, C++, etc. in different environments like windows gui, windows WSL, linux GUI, linux terminal, remoting through ssh, ssh into do

Well, your social security money will be coming directly from those kids working. Just one example of non-parents benefiting. In fact, your entire existence as an old person will be completely dependent on those kids working.

Ridiculous argument since, you know, the human race dies out if no one has kids.

If it is possible for a significant period of time, then it is possible. Saying something is impossible because it "only" lasted for 50 years is stupid.

Just guessing but you’d probably have to be in your teens and with plenty of time to kill to really get into it.

Snowden’s leaks were about a conspiracy that involved many more than a 1000 people and it lasted for years. You get reports about one government program or another that’s been kept secret for decades. These are conspiracies. Statistically i

I think lichess has pretty sophisticated techniques to detect cheating. They take it pretty seriously. I’ve played thousands of (non anonymous) games on lichess and I might have played against someone who was cheating once. If you play with

Regardless of your personal feelings on the matter, the systematic forces involved would result the same problematic methods that it has employed in the past. It’s pretty much all the same people running things for the past 30 years.

Pretty sure it’s a cognitive bias. The Array.sort method is obviously in the Array module. While to find the sort method, I’d have to find out what class data is in. Probably slightly harder is sort(data) in a language like Julia. The sort

It's entirely economic. The US didn't care about IP when it was starting out.

Because a volcano destroyed the bases. Not because the Philippines forced the US to leave. Edit: And so what if bases are easy to rebuild? I'm talking about the politics of the matter. The US didn't want to spend money on rebuildi

Yes, it's similar to the situations in Japan and South Korea where the US has what are essentially US supporting puppet governments in power. It's impossible for these countries to kick the US military bases out of their lands.

by newen 6y ago
Instead, they just plant military bases in the country and set up a puppet government that supports the US. Amounts to the same thing.

TikTok is fun because it has funny videos and dances and memes. If a company doesn't want its content to fill up with toxic politics, they shouldn't be forced to.

Python is not technically superior to other languages enough that you can rhetorically ask that question. It’s main advantage is the ecosystem and network effects. If a bunch of people, especially the people who work on numpy, scipy, etc.,

BJP, India’s right wing party, has super majority seats in parliament and looks to be the only relevant party in the foreseeable future. So I think if they want to deal with India, they’d have to deal with BJP regardless of their political

It’s not that different from any other country. Only a small fraction of people from any country cares about what’s actually going on in the intersection of politics and the internet.

Hard to take this comment seriously in a country where about 50% have access to the internet, very likely 100% of influential people have access to the internet, and very likely 100% of people are 1 degree of separation from someone who has
