Learning Perl is imho the best book for beginning to code. It is clear, as short as it can be, fun, explains why not just how, encourages efficiency, has exercises, etc. To this day I still recommend it even if opportunities to use Perl are

Any informal use of language sounds less educated and cultured. I think the chatbots would have manifested the same prejudices if passed redneck or bro type language.

Very weak association of different things with an apocalyptic tone. Some of those things being completely natural - the rise and fall of companies for exemple. Sime meta: it bothers me, maybe unfairly, that these kind of articles get treact

We know a lot of people will behave in bad ways. We don't have to assume anything. We have thousands of years of experience. Under every possible form of ethical and religious setting imaginable. And then what does this have to do with

There are more civilizations in human history that had slavery than the ones who did not. So slaves can not be the differentiating factor in what the Romans achieved.

Unfortunately it is heavier, longer wheelbase, less powerful and the nail in the coffin: gets the same real world fuel economy as a ~700cc pure ICE parallel twin. And they mention this in the article with the Honda NC750X. Not to mention ab

Typical story about some exotic knowledge or practice that is a shortcut westerners could take to solve otherwise complex problem. Who says anger is always wrong? Or that not exposing children to it is better? Screaming at somebody can be a

It's just one filter. Exlude this, exclude that, exclude all that is normal to find and what is left is some edge cases that might contain something interesting. That is how I navigate linux logs when I don't know what I am search

Not only that but the crew is much more informed and qualified to make a decision and it's their life on the line as well. There will always be incidents no matter how rare, investigations will always show that the something could have

I don't think it's hate speech or climate change denial to say things like: - developed countries have gone through a period when they developed massively with basically zero care for the environment. Now they demand that countrie

Exactly. "We can't divert all of society's resources on policing" is different than "The optimal amount of murder is non-zero" or "you should welcome greater than zero murders".

Except that it does not take 5 minutes to fill up, you can ask the gas station attendant to do it for you, or you can simply let the pump run and do whatever you would do in that 20 minutes an electric charges. There is no attention needed

If it isn't relevant then don't put it there. Especially if it's inflammatory and highly debatable.

I can't help feel infantilized by these games. It doesn't make unwanted things easier to swallow, quite the opposite. "Here comes the airplane!" is a little game that I like to play with PMs so they get to enjoy me punch

Flapping wing aircraft where being perfected for a long time before being abandoned, so not every progress actually leads to a result. Selling hopes as a "sure thing in 2 years" I think justifies snarky responses at least.

My system is even better, it requires no additional hardware whatsoever, nor any single line of code. And it's not only for cars but any vehicle in any environment. It doesn't work for now, but that only means it's in the sam

Unsprung weight is a clear disadvantage to the solution. It will significantly affect ride quality, no way around that. Those planetary wheels look more fragile than the traditional solution. You also need to keep that entire thing closed a

Apart from the specific location issues highlighted in the comments here, the entire site can be summed up to "everything is better, just trust us". Zero arguments for any claim. Terrible.

While I worry about the recent success populism is having in Europe I too take issue with the way the politicians and their voters get presented in media. "Far right" is overused, worries about massive uncontrolled immigration pla

With this solution you lose the most space on the side because of the notched rod. The notches have to be wide enough for a the thickest stuff, but then a shirt will take as much space as thick coat. If your goal is to save as much depth as

I don't think it's up for interpretation, the criteria is in the actual quote "who produce some thing valuable for the community". It could be any profession: researchers, managers, financiers, teachers, manual laborers.

I take care of my batteries, I charge them slow and usually up to 80%. All my phones (Android) where retired after about 4 years with perfectly good battery left. What would a user replaceable battery do for me? And when I think about it I

To my completely untrained mind (in either physics or social studies) it is obvious social studies can not have the rigor of Newtonian physics simply by the difference in running experiments for each discipline. Think about how difficult it

That does not support that they "_always_ thought this", it only means that this happened in the past. Another interpretation is that periods of hardship are followed by ones of stability and the generation that lived through the

There is nothing in the article mentioning anything other than Wikipedia. The title is completely unsupported and I think intentional click-bait. Trump is also mentioned several times in the article as well.

Weird, my view of history is that most progress in philosophy, arts, science, engineering, etc has come from aristocracy members who had the means to pursue something other than working for their next meal. That the aristocracy also spent t
