Okay, go ahead. Show me a (serious) project that hasn't been touched in three years and that plain doesn't work it you install packages from the lock file. You made a claim, I said I was skeptical, your only counter argument was..

If you use words when you meant other words, then sure, I'm the queen of England. Nobody can have a discussion if words can just mean anything.

I'm confused, GP didn't say anything about CO2 emissions specifically. GP said "emissions". Methane emissions are bad too.

I know this comment was made in bad faith. "You're not living as an ermite so you're a hypocrite and you have no business suggesting that consumption should be reduced" is an obvious fallacy that gets old quick. But let

If you take as an axiom that the core cause of the current destruction of our planet is inevitable, then there's isn't much we can discuss.

CO2 and methane ("emissions") is one target. A very important one, but let's not forget the other concerns altogether - plastic pollution, contamination of the environment through mineral extraction, etc. The only path fo

As if "npm/yarn install" wouldn't work for the hypothetical Vue project? A charitable interpretation of what you're saying is that you cannot clone a vue project from three years ago, update all dependencies to the

Shuffling the whole playlist to choose a new song every time is no different than choosing uniformly from all songs every time. What would be the point? I can't tell what you are getting at.

Who said anything about hands? I'm trying to make an analogy between shuffling a deck and shuffling xkcd comics. I thought having a visual, physical analogue would perhaps help in seeing that randomness still exists in a shuffle.

Maybe ask yourself why some users end up blocking you altogether. Surely you didn't start sending them newsletters or the like without being completely certain that they wanted to receive them, and you provide a simple, prominent and r

Grabbing a new song with probabilities weights based on past outcomes is just as "truly random" as picking a new song with a uniform distribution on all songs every time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochast

"Random" doesn't necessarily mean "uniformly distributed random." Shuffling a deck of cards randomly is random, but you're not going to get the same card twice in a row, or even the same card twice until you

We're talking about small SVG icons. There's no "uncanny valley" to speak of. I chose a random icon on the website to make a test. I generated the following image with dall-e and vectorized it in a couple of clicks in il

As a user, I'm thankful I don't need to sift through hundreds of spam emails a day to find potential false positives. Because that's what you're advocating. You'd apparently like everyone to have a terrible email ex

I think you're confused. If something is unlicensed, it means you don't have a license, and so you cannot use it.

What do you mean, "no one"? Plenty of people know... Matter is at the application level, thread is at the networking level.

How can someone call themselves a "scientist" and not know about significant digits? "Data technician" would be a more accurate job title.

How is this not an indication of quality? They're not inspecting cars for kicks and giggles, they're inspecting them to make sure you're not hurtling a death device that will kill you and fellow drivers on the autobahn.
