Alcohol has psychological effects and peer pressuring people into experiencing them seems pretty not cool.

This seems like an unsustainable approach: will you need to write these bespoke functions for any combination of behaviors you would need?

Isn't that the exact same thing you would do in Haskell? How you read from a config file in Haskell seems irrelevant here, and troubles with it are more related to purity than composition. dropNTakeM p n m = take m . filter p . dro

People who write Haskell don't just leave their symbolic operators undocumented. It's definitely heavy on the symbols but that and type signatures are certainly not the only tools Haskell devs have.

What's really interesting about O. unilateralis is that it doesn't take over the host's brain, and instead controls the muscles directly: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/04/cordy

New Zealand is not really the best example here given they have no community transmission: I can understand different scenarios having different recommendations.

> Also be careful around compilers and interpreters. No mainstream language specifies how to make constant time code, so your tools could insert secret dependent branches where the source code had none. High level languages in particular

It's definitely a little racist to half ass it so hard you're serving leftovers from another school. I don't think I really agree that visiting HBCUs is racist tokenism unless it is 100% just to get diversity brownie points a

Did you even read the article? Not being invited to parties is not even close to the author's point.

Anyone doing specialized calculations with time at that level of precision is going to be using specialized code and not any built-in time handling code.

That's literally fascism. Creating a society of citizens around who passes an arbitrary test of "are you really American" is as clear-cut of a definition of fascism as you can get.

Just because there exist immigrants who have fled their home country to find a better life in US doesn't invalidate the plight of other groups in the US right now: just look at the police brutality protests. If your bare minimum is &qu

Even from just examining the present, it's hard to find much to like about how the US is handling a pandemic.

As an immigrant, I don't feel the same sadness you do. There's still many injustices in the US, and framing it as "hating their own country" is extremely unfair: people are frustrated about a lot of things, people are em

Calm down. Evoking HN's favorite specter of 1984 about payment processors is a bit much, don't you think?

I mean, profit-seeking for the ends of profit-seeking is pretty ignoble: if your ambition is to sit on a pile of money like a fire-breathing dragon, what's the point?

Stop strawmanning. 1. I'm calling out people who are making disingenuous arguments for the sake of argument ("The term SSL is a deep insult to my culture.") Are you actually upset by "SSL" referring to an Arizona st

This is a complete non sequitur to what I said.

Is it a common understanding SSL means South Side Locos? No, absolutely not. Is it a common understanding master/slave means, well, enslavement? Yes, absolutely.

You can't possibly be trying to argue that the OP actually does find the term "SSL" as abhorrent as some of the terms being considered, such as "master/slave", are you? That the OP legitimately feels this way a

These are technical terms that are evoking real-life concepts, not the other way around. Words can be reappropriated, yes, but only by the group the word affects: otherwise, you haven't been at the other end of the word and it seems ou

Because ultimately code is read by humans and some of them don't enjoy having to be reminded about slavery when reading code, and we can do without these inconsiderate metaphors. I think at large, while some changes might be more perfo
