Being from N. Ireland, and seeing as US cultural imperialism reaches far and I know about all your stuff, police human rights abuse comes from above. We had the brutal RUC until the Good Friday Agreement. Now the police are completely refor

Even stronger than that - C will remain relevant because Linux (or OS in general) MUST be written in C (or assembly, but good luck with that). C's flaw: memory can fail. C's (necessary) advantage for writing an OS: memory can fail

I absolutely am. It would require others to understand World history in relation to the terms they, and I, are using in this discussion, for them to get that irony. I have absolutely zero faith in the average HN user to understand, but why

The depressive episode I suffered and recovered from was not me thinking realistically. With the way the world is at the minute, if you're not angry then you haven't been paying attention. But anger and realism are not the same as

Yes, because everybody was trying to make Communism work and there were never any extremely powerful opponents to it, working in the background to make sure Communism never worked. It just didn't work and we should forget about it. The

I quit smoking for the vape. I had a cigarette the other day and there was a deeper buzz to it than the usual nicotine from the vape. So, I am inclined to agree.

Growth for who? Interestingly the words poverty, austerity, unemployment, education and health cuts are all missing from this "economics" article. There has been a single trend since Capitalism began centuries ago - the rich have

I'm from the North of Ireland. We had sectarianism and "troubles" with fear of the "others". We should find a common factor <points elbow at British Imperialism>.

Never used perl but I've tinkered with (Neo)vim under the cover, which is close I think? If so, it seems like a real nice language.

>This is a really good example why competition matters for the consumers. Imagine how much quicker the fair pricing would be if there were standards and regulations, like what goes into every other aspect of its design.

Exactly. I, the parent, have probably the same opinions on policy of animal captivity as those who disagreed that I should have said a thing. Those who can't see the point I was making are precisely those who enable the kinds of atroci

So which feature can you not implement? The only I can think of which you'd have real problems are anonymous functions/lambdas. Most other features I think you can implement. It won't look the same, but it will serve the same
