MIT alum here. The orange clownstick better think twice if he thinks he can use our school as a bargaining chip. Not yours, Trump.

And if your gambit for getting in is this kind of cynical move, MIT will spit you right back out in short order.

Given that Steve Bannon actively wants us in a shooting war with China, I'd say your friend should make up Plans B,C,D and E immediately.

What I'm not clear on is why these mods had to look at all at some of these pictures and videos. There are published hashes of files known to contain child porn and the like. sha1sum matches? Bit length matches? Contact LEOs with relev

Not just scientists. Engineers should to, and for the same reason If you're a civil engineer, chemical engineer, electrical engineer, or a software engineer, you can find far too many examples of Republican politicians offering rhetori

Today they are. In 1990, it was a very different picture.

Or a chemist. Republican stances on pollution are at this point directly at odds with high school chemistry.

> Hardcore libertarianism is the exception, not the norm in tech. Tech tends to float in big cities and as such is naturally liberal. Wow, do I see a generation gap here. Close your eyes and picture the nation in 1990. As you pointed out

Key words: past two decades. I remember the days before their descent to this insanity.

Because even pro-science republicans, if they win election, are going to be under pressure to caucus with and cooperate with the anti-science damn-near-Khmer-Rouge GOP. I actually contacted 314 offering to run as a pro-science republican ag

OOh. That does cover it. Where I need safety assurance: rust. Where I need resilience for crashes: BEAM. This does fill in the gaps.

Heh. So, I'm doing smart grid stuff, and looking to see just what tools the sector really, really needs. For some things: Rust. For other things: BEAM/OTP

So besides Elixir and Erlang, is anyone using any other language in this family in production?

If they wrote software that does something wrong, then there is so much premeditation in this that jail time is a must.

No, you don't. Your city would look very, very different if you had parking minimums like in the US. A parking spot is about 30 square meters. 300 square feet. My house is on a footprint of 900 square feet. When you add driveway length

Well, IIUC, he didn't go out of his way. He was asked by the customer to recover deleted files, so he stumbled where otherwise he would not have looked at all. Which makes me wonder why he was paid at all. Normal people don't need

One of his demons was Carmen Ortiz. Step out of line and she can be your demon too. Or mine.

Meanwhile, we're stuck with a ruling party that is absolutely against anything involving steel tracks, so we have to spend similar amounts just to maintain our roads.

It's not the altos themselves. The better hedge funds are full of PhDs because it takes that level of education to avoid the Dunning Krueger effect, and in this market niche, DK can bankrupt you fast.

Then you're liable to live where fire department coverage is nominal (as in, it exists, but the drive to your house is so far there's no point.)

A city shouldn't strive to maximize tax revenue, but they should definitely strive to make sure the revenue is at least a few cents higher than the cost of maintaining the roads, water and sewer hookups, police & fire, et cetera. F

Well, that was written more to say that municipal governments should allow more apartment complexes, than to say you should move in to them. That said, if you prefer your 2 acres far out of town, be aware that the bill for sprawl can come d

I have to deal with a pre-REST, pre-SOAP XML API, which I would love, love, to be able to handle in Rust. But until Serde-XML is able to deserialize more of that stuff and preferably handle XSDs, I'm stuck too.

I appreciate how GitHub's software platform makes migration elsewhere much easier, making me less leveraged by GitHub the company. That, ironically, makes me REALLY not want them to go under: they don't deserve to.

The issue with suspension of disbelief is that while smart people do it, weaker minds on the left hand of the bell curve just internalize the notion that the fiction they're watching is an accurate reflection of life. So when the movie
