This is the equivalent of “If you want this conversation to end, why don’t YOU stop talking?” You already know the solution to the problem you’re having, which is to either make better points or stop inviting more replies.

The free tier is what we already have.

I’m pretty sure that’s only true for Chrome at this point.

That’s a nice number you have there. Here’s another one: 50% of all e-commerce in the entire United States.

With respect to verbosity: Certain, yes. Clear, no. Boilerplate is a thing.

What types of program are you writing?

You change it. Better to change a nice solution than to keep adding small chunks to an already complex one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it

It seems like your problem isn’t with OOP, but with generics. (You would like Go.)

Ah, GoDaddy: a name that is much easier to take seriously.

That’s a pretty big claim. Source?

I love how this conversation is becoming a model of itself! People proposing solutions in contrast to others, some taking their own advice and others falling into the same trap O.P. brought up in the first place!

Not everyone knows how to use non-verbal communication, either. Hopefully most of the people discussing this get that non-verbal is Plan A; and careful re-wording is Plan B, for when Plan A falls through.

Why give anyone the opportunity to wave away your ideas? :) I don’t think the other person should be respected at your own expense.

I mostly agree. But I think making it explicit that sshd is your idea and the implementation is their idea does a lot to make both parties territorial and perhaps oppositional. I also prefer taking the altruistic approach in most cases.

i.e., “Or not?”

But is the contrast between what is “standard” and what is actually used? Or is it between what’s been informed by practice and what’s being suggested in theory? Perhaps presenting the listener as being “out of line” with some form of expec

Totally agreed. I think one important aspect of your suggestion is that it avoids creating a territorial interaction: no association is made between the speakers and their respective ideas. Each is free to consider one idea or the other, wi

Honestly, @carlmr’s answer is the shortest & sweetest of them all. The most important thing is to avoid associating your idea with yourself and their implementation with themselves. As soon as that happens, you’re opening yourself up to

Why are you comparing Emacs to primarily modal editors? This discussion is not about those.

What a coincidence that this article pops up just after a daylong fast for Yom Kippur…

This is really interesting! I was fascinated by the website, joined the Telegram group… and of course got kicked for not sending a message in 60 seconds. Is there any chance I could email you my username and be re-added?

This is millions of “spaces” we’re talking about. Advertisers can’t vet that many videos, and neither can Google. So they demonetize.

Interesting, seems like a worthwhile read in this context. Any particular suggestions?

Wasn’t clear to me at all. A scalar is any kind of singleton number, but it doesn’t exist in contrast to boolean values; rather, it includes them. “Exists on a spectrum/scale” or “is a real number” would be universally understood w

The word you’re looking for is “reflective”, not “homoiconic”.
