To me that sounds like I should do math and figure things out on paper instead of writing a program to do it for me. Fuck that noise. I'm no artist, have no skill, little manual dexterity. I basically suck in every physical way. But I

Better libraries and loosing static boilerplate is 90% of what dynamic languages offer. Kind of like saying other than the higher horsepower and aerodynamics Porshe Boxter has very little in the way of speed over a Ford Taurus.

It's strange to me that anyone believes humans are rational and that logic can be applied to their behavior. Esp in the face of innumerable studies showing that we are exceptionally irrational. It simply is not logical.

I would bet a large part (or all of it) is that anime and cartoons and toys aren't seen as toys, as things just for children, it is normal adult interest. Much anime is very adult and dark. Other anime is war filled. It's no diffe

Duh. Very few people die from terrorists, or mass-murderers, or even guns in general (even in war more people die of disease and starvation than guns. And artillery kills more soldiers (at least in 20th cent)). Lung disease, heart disease,

Mathematicians vs engineer. Mathematicians talk, engineers actually try to build stuff. They are both needed. They shouldn't be compared.

That's because people don't generally make shittier things. It happens, rarely, on accident. But by and large (for computer languages) newer == better.

I think there is way less "anti" python 3 attitude than there appears. A few haters, a few blog spam/click baiters, a few people who never even looked at python3. Vast majority of people using Python3 (me included), just us

Terrorists don't randomly spawn. They are made. Much terrorism is an externality of Western foreign policy and a nation's abuse of it's citizens (domestic). Whether Snowden or encryption enabled terrorism or not is TOTALLY mi

If B < X then B is not a basic income. It's like you said, an salary subsidy. If B >= X then employees can walk away from any job for any reason. It inverts the labor market. Instead of employees competing for jobs, employers c

How come the choice to keep my sauce secret is less than any other choice? All trade secret laws do is if you make efforts to keep secret and some one steals it, you can punish them.
