Irrelevant. Most of the original users of /r/theDonald migrated theDonald.win, which became one of the top websites in the US in terms of traffic. They're behind Cloudflare and constantly DDoSd these days it seems like it. Mo

By the way, being Iranian doesn't give you special understanding of foreign relations and the US role in the middle east. I'm sure it helps, but using it as an appeal to authority of some sort is misguided.

The US will probably never recover from this pandemic. The sociological harm done by this virus (normalizing anti-expert sentiment) is far greater than the physical harm in the long run.

What are his arguments? That's what I'm puzzled about. Usually an argument is a series of premises followed by discussion of how those premises combine to lead to a conclusion. The conclusion can be deductive or inductive. I am no

But there wasn't that much bad stuff to ignore in the past - because it wasn't that bad. Google did not have that much influence or power, so their bad tendencies (assuming they have been the same throughout their lifetime) were j

When I think of how America centric the Internet is, CAPTCHAs are usually not at the top of my list. There is so much else wrong with the internet when it comes to being basically designed for North Americans

I find reading this article a very uncomfortable experience. It's just assertion after assertion without evidence to back them up. Do people believe this guy because he's rich?

Several Pacific Islands, and some in the Indian ocean have already lost significant parts of their land. Just because something doesn't personally affect you does not make it a hoax.

Tbh, I actually prefer the C++ with your style guide than Rust. Now if C++ had a package manager and a crates.io equivalent, I wouldn't look back at Rust at all. Unfortunately, C++ is just too far behind. (Btw, I gave a presentation ab

It depends on what you're doing. If parts of the giant function are only reading the buffer, than you can just pass it as a const T& to your smaller inner function. If the inner function is modifying it, then i'd still pass it

Why waste time on something that you will pick up in life anyway with a little common sense? You're not going to randomly pick up Newtonian mechanics or derivatives, but you will learn about taxes from your family/friends.

With VSCode and Typescript, Microsoft owned the web developer space - a feat that I would not have predicted them doing 10 years ago. How did Google/Facebook get beaten here?
