Do you have examples?

There were no real examples of when long functions helped. I can come up with 30 or examples of long functions being bad in the codebase I am working in now. I stopped reading about halfway through as the contrived DRY twitter post. I did s

The reason an arrow, airplane or a rocket in atmosphere stays in one orientation during flight is unequal drag. The feathers/fletching on an arrow produce more drag and the the arrowhead is dense and moves the center of mass really fa

It turns out the LD50 of Anvils is way less than a typical persons body weight when applied topically to the cranium via a 20 foot drop.

I didn't see any evidence in this, it is heresay with numbers. Even if the numbers are accurate maybe there was just an algorithm update in Google's search. They have no evidence there was malice and the numbers they have aren&#x2

I think a slim profile and large ablative shield are two good ideas. that largely solve both of these issues. Build something like the TransAmerica Pyramid (without the two white flanges) and put the motor(s) where the foundation would be a

A nuclear explosion in space wouldn't push against the air and would expand spherically unless somehow contained. Because it doesn't use conventional chemistry the presence or absence of chemicals, like ambient oxygen wouldn'

I am not saying that isn't the case, but the article made mo such indication. What is your source for this?

And traffic accidents are far more common in all western countries than terrorist attacks. But you would never know that reading our newspapers or watching our TV.

I want to agree that languages are squishy and hard to define things. Some things are well known, but undefinable. I have yet to read a satisfactory definition of "cookie", I mean the little (except when they are big) baked good (

I agree with this. We also need to understand that some people are too easy to offend and not worry about offending them while keeping in mind some people are legitimately the victims of racism. It should not be something we make a knee-jer

by sqeaky 9y ago
Calling someone out for being racist or bigoted in some other should be acceptable, because that behavior is not acceptable. Preventing people from being called out on their bigotry is tolerating intolerance, and we shouldn't have any

Does this affect only BSDs then? I have a Ryzen machine I bought and put into a Jenkins cluster. It does builds on a bunch of VMs occasionally and pegs the CPUs. I have had no issue so far.

I totally agree. (I only disagreed with the tiniest detail of his point and meant only to rebut that). I would like to point that with pair of tongs you will still have force feedback. Even though is will be reduced in precision it will sti

Force feedback provides humans constant information on how our hands are doing. Reliable force feedback data at our hand's level of detail would provide a wealth of data to those making the control software and that better software cou

Instead of doubt, can you give us concrete reasons?

Putting people like Shkreli into prison for a long time is vital to the long term stability of society. I wish money didn't buy options to avoid prison and I wish that people with his behaviors didn't so often accrue large amounts

I agree with most of what you say but it is a bit extreme to say "Unless you write compilers, nothing changes". Some troubleshooting methods will change, the ability to view source will be reduced, performance will be increase, sa

And no one used that trust model. Every place I was aware I was using activex, even deploying it in a few places, part of the process was showing the users how how to click the "Run Anyway" or "Ignore security warnings"

I see how empathy can help, but I disagree its required. We could choose to be benevolent to octupi in a number of ways. We know killing them is bad from their perspective. We know that some like making homes and all like eating certain eat

A given environment will give a certain kind of pressure and demand a certain kind of solution. Bring the ancestors of mantis shrimps to the treetops and neothlithic apes to the ocean floors and they would both die... If you fix that and le

Unless you want to take into account their reaction. An upset dog will growl and bite. A happy dog has certain behaviors. It is not robust communication, but it does exist. In the beginning perhaps humans used dogs in an exploitative way, b

We created dogs, they have no natural place in the wild before them the canids were Wolves and Coyotes.

Do we need to live in the body of dog to understand "benevolence to dogs"?

You can call me subjective but you will have a harder time calling me wrong. The magic man in the clouds as a theory of how the universe works has been debunked so many times and has so little evidence it should be discounted out of hand. M

Clear Whataboutism, If we do nothing but look back we cannot go forward. We understand those were mistakes and we learned from them and we are better now. ISIS is not our ethical equal, they endorse attacks on civilians, not as a means to a

I wouldn't oppose videos promoting many other militaries, including at the extreme end of the "them" spectrum the Russian military. Because they would follow Youtube rules and US laws. The Russians for whatever their other fl

We can stop with what's already illegal. It is not legal to incite violence. Videos demanding that the infidels be killed are not legal. Neither are videos calling for the death of people for any other reason.

The argument cannot be flipped and that is why I called it trollish. There is no hypocrisy. The US military does not post beheading videos, or any of the rebuttals I pposted easlier. There are periods were we did bad things, but those are t
