No, people should be skeptical of arguments made for things and pursue further scrutiny of them regardless of the author's views and opinions in other non-relevant fields. Not that I'm supporting his other radical views but this i

I never understood this. Starbucks (or other places like it) don't ask for ID to prove the name you give them is actually yours. So why, if it is such a pain using your real name, don't you come up with a name, that is easy for th

The suit that SpaceX filed with the courts was not asking for the contract to be awarded to them, it was asking for the contract to be competed on, as originally required by Congress. They have repeatedly said that they just want an even co

This is not a reasonable solution. There are many situations that it is necessary that I can know when someone has called or messaged me while I am driving, under which circumstances I need to pull over to the side of the road to respond&#x

Ok here is a correct clarification of what is happening when iterating over maps in Go. The author of this article doesn't seem to understand what is going on. Ever since Go 1.0, they implemented a feature where when iterating over a m

Ubuntu's version numbering system is not confusing at all, it just doesn't follow the standard start with 1 and go up. Ubuntu's version numbering system is the date the version got released, so 4.10 got released in October 20

Now I'm not saying the move to Linux is necessarily the right move for the IRS, but you missed the point entirely. The only thing stopping the transition on time was that the upgrades were put on hold because of budget issues, not beca

You cannot sue a programmer for writing a bug in software, or at least it would be thrown out immediately. It is the company's responsibility to ensure that the code is peer reviewed and tested before deploy. There are so many bugs in
