But the delay is specifically so you can internalise the fact that downvoting here is a stronger claim than on, say, reddit.

This isn't premature... the algorithm and performance are understood. That said, I agree that it's not always the best use of time.

But by Sanderson's First Law, if it were in an appendix he wouldn't be able to use consequences of the rules in the story. Imagine I Robot if the laws of robotics were an optional appendix (although not quite that extreme). FWIW,

I think Shallan also isn't as clever as she thinks she is, in-universe. That makes it somewhat more palatable to me.

For what it's worth, I would definitely rather work under Linus than at Google. Google seems, from speaking to people who work there, thoroughly unpleasant.

I can't help reading this as "We'll know we have a healthy workplace culture once people subconsciously realise that any time management makes a space available for internal feedback, you should make sure not to express your

It's not hard to make it work, but for those of us at work it's nice to have a warning that we shouldn't just blindly click it. That said, I wouldn't visit jwz's blog at work anyway.

Me too, and alt with my thumb. It drives me insane when Ctrl is not the outermost key.

Hey cmdrtaco. This isn't entirely related, but I just wanted to say thanks for the chili recipe from your blog. I've been using it for years and it's great. (I also miss the Slashdot that was).

SJWs seem mostly harmless, if mildly annoying. Don't feed the trolls, and move on. It's a solved problem. They have as much right to free speech as anyone else. That said, "Think of the women!" seems to be the new "

My experience with Google is that the claim should probably be "Google doesn't do that at the moment ".

Something about the concept of a crowd-sourced bucket list is just depressing. But I guess it's an apt metaphor for the modern world, hah.

Did those specific demands pretty much total up to "fix the problem in a non-braindead way"?

> The size a device must be to have both a keyboard and usable touchscreen puts it squarely out of the optimal solution category. The Motorola Droid managed to do it, and fit in my pocket. Scale it up a little to keep pace with moder

In my experience swiping keyboards don't really work for unix command strings. Which reminds me, I should buy a Passport. They're probably cheapish now...

I don't really know what to tell you, there. Are you generally familiar with the C build process, and bash? The only "unusual" things I'm seeing there are the $@ (target) and $^ (dependencies) automatic variables, the wi

Maybe they've improved it since I last used it (was two or three years ago now). But you say reinstalled? Is it possible it only reinstalled the VS-proper components and not all of the dependencies that the first-time install pulls in?

Personally I get grumpy when modern IDEs make me wait on them . I don't care that much about CPU/RAM usage until the computer starts wasting my time while I'm trying to work. That's sadly very common these days even o

I guess it depends on your hardware/internet. Last time I tried it it was 4+ hours on my non-devbox (aka <16G RAM, etc) laptop.

That's not how probably works. GP is only implying it's potentially true, presumably because they aren't sure they've fully considered every angle of the question and there may be weird edge cases. Let's not Purity

Do you believe you would get the privilege of choosing what the media reports your argument as?

What a coincidence that English manages fine with just the letters in ASCII. Seriously though, what definition of "special Latin characters" are you using? Italian does just fine with fewer...
