I've written my own programming language. IMO, "good architecture" exists outside of specific language choices - SOLID, various design patterns, etc.. I've always felt like I'm implementing the same high level desig

You’d be well served to stop the political name calling, it’s childish. I view the dynamic from the opposite direction. You might think that that the EU is starting to view America the same way it views china, but in actuality the EU is sta

We can have a more detailed discussion around political alignments in America, but you've already agreed that your original statement was false. I mention the 30% figure specifically because you said "nearly 50% of Americans voted

Maybe 30% of Americans voted for Donald Trump. This response reeks of ignorance and hubris. > Do you genuinely believe you are superior to the rest of the world? This assertion wasn't made, in any way, by the person you're repl

Not going to engage in a discussion about valuing human lives, but what are you suggesting? The attacks on ships should be allowed to continue because the conflict? I was pretty young when I was taught that two wrongs don't make a righ

If you read through the decision, the reasoning is all there, it's absolutely rational. What's _not_ rational is preferring personal anecdotal experience over the aggregate analysis.

Nevermind, as someone else pointed out, it is used as a noun. Still, it's the correct usage in the possessive context.

You and the person you're replying to are using the word "Sales" differently. GP is using it as "Sales Representative", a la Jim Halpert, whereas you're using it as "Outbound Sales", like Glengarry Gl

I don't disagree with this. I'm saying that your original reply relies on nothing but insinuation.

This is the exact same response you'd get if it had everything to do with ~censorship~ attempting push back on anything that reduces a propaganda vector. Do you see?

This line of reasoning, presented without evidence, can be used to undermine virtually any statement; it doesn't contribute to discourse in any way.
