Not sure where you're getting this. Zero of my millenial friends like this look -- and we represent a wide range of the millenial years.

Maybe "What is to be done" by VI Lenin would be a good place to start. Though of course there are many such guides that don't always agree.

Any of those responses (or non-response) by Bob would justify the asker in their skepticism of the falsified results. Giving somebody a chance to respond is not the same as relaxing your standards of evidence, it's just an acknowledgem

I agree -- so many of the advertised advantages of git depend on operations on diffs, especially the confusing ones that people find difficult to learn, which makes it very confusing for beginners and casual users when they hear "commi

What you've described is a bunch of operations that apply diffs.

The house is a good example, but it's worth being careful: the point is that the house is not a liability. There are liabilities associated with it, starting with repayment of the loan that you used to buy the house (for most peopl

Having recently gone to a bit of trouble to learn the basics of accounting, I have found it to be quite a useful system. It seems that most commenters here do not understand that system, or what "assets" and "liabilities&quot

The fact that it's an asset doesn't mean its value is proportional to the number of lines that are there. Similarly a house is an asset, but not all 1000 sq ft houses are worth the same amount of money.

I have fiber provided by the city utility in Knoxville... is this an exception to that rule? (Moved here fairly recently).

No. There are plenty of things that can be proved, it's just that there exist true statements that cannot be proved.

For one thing an old desktop computer is almost entirely air by volume... Most of the reason that phones are small is that they've managed to make them without having to have a lot of air inside.

On the contrary I think that's the main point: that a fairly trivial amount of practice is enough to surpass almost everyone who you'll encounter in the activity. Obviously (tautologically) the average person who practices regular

I don't think it's fair. Maybe the communication has been poor to the broader community, but to anybody interested in the technical consequences I think it's always been clear that a big part of the point of superseding X was

Funnily enough, your list of instructions unironically sounds easy to many of us.

One of the frustrating parts of this discourse is that people come to it assuming all the responsibilities fall in the same rough "bins" that they used to, and place their blame accordingly. Wayland made the explicit choice that i

Is this... good? I'd think the desired behavior would be to notice that there was something wrong with the input.

You're selling yourself short. It's not hard to count syllables.

It's obviously not python vs c -- the time difference turns out to be in kernel code (system call) and not user code at all, and the post explicitly constructs a c program that doesn't have the slowdown by adding a memory offset.

I think you might be using a very narrow definition of "city". There are tons of small cities around the country where you can choose between a downtown apartment, a townhome in a development, separate small house on a half lot in

Incarceration rates in this country are sky-high compared to others with lower crime. Crime rates were decreasing well before incarceration boomed, too. The evidence is incredibly clear that incarceration is not an effective anti-crime meas

I try to avoid the premature optimisation police just as much as the regular police. Neither of them tend to be serving the public interest, whatever they may say.

I feel obliged to point out that the post explicitly says that the benefits of fast typing for them has nothing to do with being able to produce more LOCs/sentences.

This is probably a good default position for a random new tool that floats across hacker news, but there are plenty of situations where the benefits of having a tool (even if only in your local environment) outweigh the effort of learning i

It is helpful for people who were paying attention to the perl community with any passing interest at any time in the past 20 years. It is not helpful for people who weren't. But the former describes a lot of people here.
