The baggage is assumed, whether or not it exists, and regardless of whether you bring it. Of course, that’s true for any argument held between strangers, for both participants.

I’m not making the case that one being better than the other, or really trying to say anything about custom vs enterprise. My main point is simply that there’s a significant gap between “it can be used” and “it can be used well” — and a de

Branding is bit subtler than that — you’re not going to really say anything about Target’s consistent styling, versus Walmart’s fairly austere aesthetic, but you definitely get a different “feel” from each, before looking at their actual co

I’m not claiming I can do so, and asking me to do so is a cop-out — I’m simply reasoning about whether it’s possible to qualify a language at all — to do better than “they’re all the best” — because we know how to define something downright

Sure, but if they can be effectively compared in theory they should also be comparable in reality. And given that languages were developed over different histories and constraints (and lengths of time), it seems to me that a “terrible” re

That doesn’t seem to me inevitable from syndication. If all movies are competing simultaneously, there’s pretty good incentive to not be derivative of one another. And if all theaters play all movies, there’s pretty good incentive for the

What’s the point of this ask? A blockchain’s dataset isn’t arbitrarily editable by its users — there’s a very specific set of actions you can do, which are well defined, that modify the chain in a very structured manner… just as any API sit

You’re referring to Unix time, which is generally acceptable (if too small). The GP I think is referring to the art of storing Jan 1, 1970 8:11 as the number 197001010811 —- YYDDMMhhmm format, but as a number rather than a string. Which isn

I think the usual method is to do a few things: 1. Different generators for different "environments" -- e.g. cellular automata for more open areas / caves, BSP for rooms, etc 2. Smash them together to create the map, with the

For projects like React Native, which claim production-ready and are presumably quite stable in practice, you’re back to version numbers being meaningless, except with the added bonus it’s not even useful for marketing..

IMO it’s a generally good mentality — the fact that dropbox is not that hard for your average programmer to replicate (by plumbing with existing tech) is exactly why you have so much variety in the software space. Of course, turning a fun

Part of the problem however is the theater’s solution is too naive — ideally they should be defaulting to 7, and then modifying for the exceptional cases, and then returning to default for the next movie. What they’re apparently doing is

Goes the other way too — CRPGs are faithful renditions of DnD 5 rulesets and are generally a painful slog to go through; their only saving grace being the writing. All the variables and rules and none of the flexibility to act on it. Wherea
