It’s similar to if someone in public who is a non-famous figure said something and it was recorded on a phone but not posted elsewhere. You can’t use the phone recording on the article. Now, let’s talk about why that’s stupid. are you happ

You’re being a numpty at best. When someone is trying to illustrate a point, I can say something like “he was so drunk he saw pink elephants !”, and if you are stupid enough to confuse the illustration with the point that’s on you. “Why n

It’s extremely good for science and maths where there’s little room for argument or interpretation. History, or current events tend to be Abysmal. Literature tends to be underrepresented and the arts in general are not well-curated, either

It’s just an example. Shall I craft another example for you? Or should we talk about the point the example is trying to make? :)

I appreciate your response! I wish you had written this comment instead of the other one or at least explained why. I think the internet at large encourages people to be snooty/witty/sarcastic in order to be the “winner” of the co

The real stinker of a rule is that they prefer media sources to first-hand accounts or direct sources. For example: an article about Linux CANNOT link to posts Linus himself has made on forums, but CAN link to media articles that get his

Can I ask why you wrote this comment? It’s a dig at the other person and it’s not terribly funny, just sarcastic. I didn’t think he meant to allow kids to do anything they want, just not to tell them what’s impossible before they have a sho

Wikipedia has gone from being an encyclopedia to “here is generally what the media has said about this and if you say otherwise fuck you ” Most espouse the claim that they appreciate science, but I think really people appreciate James Bond

What do you call someone who thinks they’re smart enough to understand the human body but have trouble understanding a joke? Doctor.

That’s not how it works. Not even remotely. That’s how your brain has decided things function and your explanation has merely been good or functional for you . It’s not logical.

I’m open-minded about the subject. Here are some concerns I have with your claim: is the proof provided by either the Russians or the Germans? If so, it’s only as meaningful as any other story during that time. The Germans are smart enough

That’s awful logic. I believe X, therefore I also believe Y and Z because some people who believe in Y believe in Z. See how that doesn’t make any sense?

Personally I think yoga is a form of blood magic. Beyond that, it has a religious (Hindu) slant to it that I believe most completely gloss over. Also I’m pretty sure every culture has stretches, normally it’s just something you do on your o

The optimistic side of me was briefly elated that, perhaps, since all modems had since become good, there were no longer any bad modems ! Alas, reality.

The current issues people are running into are the ones who went for the cloud hosting option. Some do run it onsite which is similar to running Trac but with two major differences: 1. Contributing bugs to Atlassian helps only Atlassian. 2

You won’t like it: But yes, I do. That said I’m an outlier in most all cases and that’s not really a pro for my argument nor a detraction from yours.

I think that’s a fair point to make. What would you say about something like Trac, which is also open-source, includes a wiki and rolls in git along with subversion. Really I guess the ask is this: Why even bother trusting someone else with

You want to go to sleep but the final paper is due in 8 hours and you haven’t started. You are going to write this paper and nothing stops the paper from being written . As you find yourself at hour 4 or 5, well past any joy of ideation,

Linus has integrated more than a few questionable things into the kernel so that’s not a ringing endorsement for me. Perhaps it’s a good implementation for the new standard, perhaps not. Regardless, I want to say to you that I appreciate y

It’s even more simple: I don’t care about being appealing to you. Edit: also you saying something like “you’re wrong” and then not giving reasons is actually what trolling is. Go look in the mirror my friend.

Yeah like I said, if you like him that’s great! If you like The Beatles or The Rolling Stones I will happily listen with you! Because that’s just taste and I think in general most people make pretty good music. It’s all these really weird

If you never engage with anything that’s bizarre, intellectual, or can be more polarizing to the audience then you’re never really stressed out by the tension of learning or confronting new ideas. It has always been the case that humans sel
