This is a very, very annoying strawman. Nobody believes that life, or even humanity will be wiped off the face of the earth. It's the tremendous amount suffering it'll have to endure that we'd rather avoid.

Just because you are forced to interact with immoral things that doesn't mean they suddenly become moral. Libertarians who think taxation is theft still pay taxes. The local restaurant owner will pay the local goons their protection mo

Following a convention already established in the local ecosystem, presumably. Though in this case I think previous posters are mistaken. My GNU implementation of head supports -c and not -b. Perhaps it's the fact that the longopt is

No, that's exactly how it works. Why would you write such a thing when you're clearly just guessing? A shell script is interpreted one line at the time. Very simple proof: $ while true; do printf 'date\n' &&amp

Please, the phrasing is obviously meant to make the reader jump to conclusions. The headline wasn't "El Salvador expected to default as Hacker News readers bicker about wording", even if that would have been equally true (a

Not that it matters much, since few programming languages will have date and IPv4 literals, but the form you propose does collide with IPv4 notation. IPv4 addresses in numbers-and-dots notation can contain one, two or three dots. 10.11.12

This can be done with regular shell redirection, even though I wouldn't recommend it. Easy to get wrong, and fairly opaque: $ cat foo foo bar baz $ ( rm foo && grep ba > foo ) < foo $ cat foo

If by "already" you mean "eight years later" :) ⍼ (U+237C) is in Unicode 3.2 (from 2002), (U+1F4C9) is from Unicode 6.0 (from 2010). [edit]: HN ate my 1F4C9 glyph. Use your imagination :)

Is that so odd? The creators have a background that predate the (relatively recent - even more so when golang was created) GNU convention. A convention that is (or at least was) mostly prevalent on Linux anyway. Personally, I'm puzzl

Absolutely, I agree. My comment was written in the context of Shadowrun as an approximation of Bladerunner though. I'd say Shadowrun is strictly further away from Bladerunner than Cyberpunk, given that it's essentially just Cyberp

The world is quite different, in that the Shadowrun is full of magic and fantasy creatures, creating a very different feel. Also, Free League might perhaps create a rules system that doesn't suck ;-) A better question would possibly be

So now you "just" need to memorize a lookup table holding information about time when your clocks was first set. And share said lookup table with any visitors. It sounds super convenient :-)

They are - objectively - wrong. There's a spec, and they're violating it. This gets even more absurd given that they most likely produce the user agent as well, so they can't really blame "it's too hard for users
