Yes, I am claiming that saving 5 seconds out of 86400 in a day does not matter to any healthy person. As a web developer I generally prefer things being faster and/or smaller too, but I would not change a working field-tested library f

I don't have a horse in this race, but I am a bit bothered by two arguments, because I see variations on them so often (so this is less of a reply to you personally). > Chalk is downloaded 15 millions per day. > We probably can m

That was exactly my reading. I watched 75 films so far this year, most of them obscure at least in a sense that I had to make an effort to get them and while not all of them were great, a lot of them were interesting and that's after f

Yes, that's often neglected. However this paper states that the lack of severe reactions may be down to the age of participants (around 30 years) so it is basically unknown if it reduces those.

You don't, but connecting them to a WiFi won't solve that problem because they can (and probably do) switch to radio if they can't reach their servers through Wifi connection.

Claims that the last US election was fair were stated well before it was clear Biden won.

You could make this same slippery-slope argument for any lawful restriction, but it seems mainly popular for speech and gun rights. As with many other arguments it is far less persuasive to those who were not already persuaded.

At this point I can't understand people for whom the answer isn't hopefully never. People never had better tools to promote their views in human history so it's odd to me to worry about that more than clearly damaging effects

I think it is the wrong thing to choose, but he is obviously free to take it as we all are. I don't expect him to do anything though and I don't think my take was cynical either. If problems we are facing in 2020 are not big enoug

No, what he said is that no issue is big enough to distract him and Coinbase from making as much money as possible (setting aside how truthful he was). It's also not a question of us against them. What we decide to do or not do all has

I assume I wasn't the only early reader of blogs who thought they point at this being possible, but I admit I did not expect to see it so soon.

We both seem to have direct experience of working with a publisher, but I think you are overstating the effort of most publishers these days. Too many books, even from reputable publishers, are of fairly low quality, which as a reader bothe

Nice try? Look, mate, I intentionally only provided a reference to show that the idea of commonality between hard-left and hard-right is not a new one without going into the correctness of it or if it is the same as what you feel. My point

I do, each bill or bank transaction being its own entry. I'm sure I belong in minority of people who do this. It's all manual labour too without any imports from banks etc. (never tried). I do it for two reasons. Occasionally I fo

Thanks, I wasn't aware of it. Sadly I get square when I try to use it so less reliable than emoji.

Maybe, but this is not linear growth. It's still exponential, albeit not as steep as ours (Slovenia), but you are still on course to double number of cases every 5 days. Linear growth would have a declining rate for daily percentage ch

You are probably joking, but I am seriously annoyed there's no donkey emoji.

I agree that exact rates are difficult to determine, will change over time and one should not overreact, but there is plenty of evidence for what I said. If this virus would be just like flu, then Wuhan wouldn't have much problem copin

Yes, because it infects so many millions. Covid-19 right now looks a magnitude more deadly with significant long term health consequences for many who survive.

The real reason, I think, for quarantines is to buy time for preparations and spread out infections to prevent overwhelming the health system. PR is certainly important for government as well, but I don't think it is much for experts w

I agree even though I haven't switched yet because some of my apps would not work properly (or at all). Decade should be enough. But hey, I also think switch to Python 3 gave enough time to everyone to switch too and there's no sh

I bet ones view on this really depends on personal experiences both as an interviewee and an interviewer. I work for a small start-up and recently went through hiring another developer to our team. I know how awful it is as a candidate to g

We already eat too much fish as it is and stocks all over the world in dire state, plastic or no plastic. Millions depend on them for their survival, but many of us don't and could eat less.
