Thanks, I am not that informed, I don’t know why I even commented.

From what I read, the new pope is much like Francis on human rights and political topics, but a bit more conservative about church doctrine. Perhaps it's to have a counterpoint to Trump in America, to show that not all American-born le

blah blah blah Always quoting the rules to those who care about democracy in America, never allowing this type of discussion because it's "not for HN". Well, when does it get so bad politically that anyone here cares? This pl

I think most people agree on that point, but what are truckers going to do after they lose jobs to the robots? In the USA, there is never any planning for that, they just say "oh well" and in a generation those folks die out, havi

Annapolis smacks you upside your head whenever you start to get an ego about having come from Annapolis, so most of the people I know get along fine with ROTC or other sources of officers. Generally, the political connections come from outs

It really does seem like Congress has wanted a dictatorial executive for a while doesn’t it? I wasn’t aware they had shirked their duty for so long.

I’m with you, let us install programs like on a PC.

In fact, when Congress passes a budget, it’s actually a law that must be executed by the executive. There are actually other laws against impoundment and against the executive changing the budget. Trump is literally breaking the law but no

True, my bad. I apologize. I’m impressed by your grace with this comment.

That’s why I’m a software developer though, because I learned the footguns in the standard library. I use it before third party libraries whenever I can. I can’t understand the fear, just learn your job.

SIPR is easy to access, there are terminals all over. We had SIPR laptops in cabinets no one ever used. TS/SCI not so much, but there are still SCIFs on every military base and there are a lot of those. Not having access to proper faci

Interesting, it just came back up for me, too. I guess they were busy doing stuff this week or something.

It's concerning that this site has a 403, to me. It is one of the (in my opinion at least) foundational things in a free society to have open and transparent document access for laws or proclamations of whatever type.

Do you get a 403 from Federal Register (USA)?(federalregister.gov)

I have been keeping track of new documents that seem interesting (especially Presidential docs, recently) in the Federal Register for a few years now, but it started having a 403 error in the past week or so. Anyone else having issues or ju

I kinda like the idea that people don’t have to pay for public land access.

Foreigners are always good as a target for blame, but much more wealth has been transferred from American workers to the Oligarch class than via trade deficits. What we have here is a class war, not a war against other working class people

You mean like how the CIA flew around doing “extraordinary rendition” during the turn of the millennium? Yea, that’s a shitty thing to do, hopefully all the people of the world can get better governments.

There are thousands of ways to enjoy coffee. I’m not a coffee nerd at all, but getting a whole bean that you like from a reputable (local if possible) roaster and grinding it yourself is pretty easy and you get coffee that’s considerably be

I love “Sailing Alone Around the World” by Joshua Slocum. He was the first to do so. I always wanted to build a replica of his boat (plans are available) and do some solo sailing, but maybe not around the world.

Sorry, I meant to say, "other than the fact that the additional deaths are rich people." I know that the real reason is "because they are rich and powerful and the cops serve them as masters" but I was curious if you had

The social contract was lost when big business and its execs stopped caring about the humans they employ or serve as customers. Eventually, when regular people see that laws and ethics don’t apply to the rich and powerful, they decide they

Why? We have a few thousand murders in the USA each year, why would a few more deaths cause a need for expanded police power when several thousand other deaths didn’t require it?

I can’t use something else, since my job is working with Python, and type linting is a reasonable alternative in this case.

What’s an example complex generic? If you have one, that is, I’m curious what kinds of things people do with types. I’m a fan of using types, myself. Thanks in advance.

Yes some people get rate limited here, I think it’s the default. I’ve edited comments like this simply because I couldn’t respond, even after like an hour. I think I emailed the mods here and they removed the limit, but I still try to conse
