Well no, Trump was elected by a majority of the Electoral College. The majority of the public vote went to the other candidate. Which is sort of the point, that the US is not actually democratic in some important ways which influence policy

Your post is content-free, and it says much about the value of your thoughts. This is not a problem of emotions, except in that it's a useful tool for others to manipulate your emotions. The only effective solution would be to subsidiz

What you say is impossible, and it's not worth my time to discover whether you're a liar or merely deluded.

Congratulations on successfully distinguishing rainbow capitalism from social justice. I don't think you're making the point you think you're making.

The issue with IE 5 wasn't that the features were useless, it was that they were proprietary.

There are very few situations where you'd need or want ActiveRecord to step out of the way, and in general Rails does a lot more for you.

History is not being re-written, you just don't know the difference between opinion articles and actual scientific papers, and you additionally have no understanding of the relevant science. It's not that AGW hasn't been cont

It's intended to seem like a serious critique of AGW, while not actually having any factual value. It's more effective the less familiar you are with science; if your understanding of the subject ends with the authorities claimed

I loved my eee but I can't imagine going back to that platform these days; it's workable for programming but it struggles with almost every task. You're going to want to run xfce or something rather than gnome or kde, among o

At some point it will be trained on data that describes itself, which will make it self-aware in a way that will probably prompt much argument about what precisely we mean by the concept of self-awareness.

Not sure what you mean by that last bit. That seems like something handled by asdf or some other package management tool.

US troops are already involved simply by being in the same theater. If you're planning a strike on Taiwan, you would be foolish to assume that the US carrier groups are just going to sit around while you do that. Therefore any plan for

Money stress does terrible things to even the best relationships. It doesn't even have to be abject poverty. Most of the people in the US would have a hard time dealing with an unexpected $500-1000 expense[0]. Which of course is a fant

One potential option would be to rewrite those bits in Crystal-lang. The languages are often code-compatible, and it doesn't sound like that task has a lot of external dependencies.
