I believe that’s how most people in society invoke a numerically void word like the word “likely”. Call my cynical, but time and experience has taught me that people do not back up qualifying words with the appropriate level of mathematical

It’s funny you don’t. Putin has been pulling his dick out, slapping it on the table and leering at what he wants for *everyone to see* before making his move to take what he wants. There’s nothing secret about his plans. You’re just thick.

Check the laws first. Some places only require one party (you the recorder) to consent.

I believe you that it wasn’t intended to be insulting. But let’s think about it. I feel pretty confident that most people on this website are capable of learning the core 2400 Chinese characters in a year if they spent a few hours a day and

It's interesting how calling it insurmountable both panders to and insults the people you're talking about. Maybe a better way to describe the notation is "off-putting"?

I worked for a small company that was affected by the post-911 slowdown and the company reduced the hours to Mon-Thurs for a year. We had to economize a little more, but I was happy with it. I started doing side work, spent more time learni

The problem is misinformation, but it's always been misinformation. It's also a lack of trust in experts, because the rich and powerful have always employed some experts to represent their positions or skew the truth. There&#x27

What are you pronoun preferences for these sentences? Someone left their laptop on the table. If they come back asking for it, ask them to describe the stickers.

I don't think people would have stopped posting for a few reasons: 1. There are currently useful applications. 2. It currently brings value to some people in one way or another. 3. If there are no killer apps, it's not obvious t

The point isn’t to run client code in the server and server code on the client. The point is to allow JavaScript to be able to use excellent C++/Rust code in a sandboxed environment when it makes sense. Embedding SQLite is a perfect ex

While C# is slowly adopting features from F#, the biggest value that F# provides over C# isn't its feature set. The biggest value is having good default behavior and how it nudges programmers to favor predictable and composable solu

It’s likely. $200k goes well above market rate so it wouldn’t be that politically unpopular. Also, one usually doesn’t involve cows when kowtowing.

It’s not just that you don’t have the same facts, you actually speak different languages. People share a lot of similar ideas but I find I have to switch out words depending on whether I’m talking to someone with left leaning or right leani

If it seems odd, it’s because they didn’t implement them the same way. The performance of the same program written in TypeScript and JavaScript should always be identical. TypeScript doesn’t add anything to the runtime. If they got this sim

We get that. He’s asking for someone to explain how the legal system allows a big business to force a smaller business to spend money on legal fees. Also, how do other countries protect the little guy from frivolous lawsuits?

You are absolutely wrong about nobody wanting to die and it has nothing to do with the pain to be over, the boredom to end, or the despair to dissipate. You sound young or too invested in your own life to actually understand the real circ

Just so we're clear, F# tooling is pretty great compared to most other languages, but it's clearly not to a level of C# or Java. With that being said, what improvements are you looking for? The people who work on tooling will lik

My recollection at the time was IE4 had a working DOM while Netscape's DOM was buggy and left a lot to be desired. It was there, but it was a struggle. I don't say that to crap on Netscape. Microsoft was a well-funded company wi

You're right that Java was being promoted as a front-end language at first (Sun found a customer for Java), but I'm pretty sure the intent was to generate excitement by finding a killer app and then expand the market from there. A

You were able to use document.write somewhat dynamically, but the not reliably across all the browsers. Even if you did make an RPC call, there wasn't a lot you could do with it presentation wise because DHTML was two years away. (

I used Remote Scripting as well. It was a reliable enough hack that we built a lot of stuff on it. But I don’t think it was intended to be used that way when Netscape released JavaScript in ‘95.

So the DOM was introduced in 1998, three years after applets and plugins. In 1995, you could write JavaScript code to dynamically render a page on load using document.write, but updating the rendered HTML was another story. Otherwise, Jav

To be honest, I was using JavaScript for years as an OOP language before I actually understood how I could use JavaScript as a functional language. However, I don't think the limitation was the language. The biggest limitation really
