Youtube has been recommending a lot of Jordan Peterson to me lately. I know there are people who hate on him for basically misinterpretations of things he has said regarding transgender issues. But then on top of that, there are right wing

Yea I really don't know I guess. I think the subtractive / additive distinction is kind of leading people off on a tangent away from what the author was trying to say, or at least what I was took from what the author said. Really

> Subtractive implies few, if any, unknowns I liked the way another comment here phrased it of subtractive in the sense that you are working to subtract risks from your project. That is something we run into all the time. "We need t

Git LFS is basically the CVS of binary file version control. It is a pile of garbage, but it's better than nothing.

by war1025 6y ago
If you want a terrible time, have several members of your team not install git lfs, and have them be the main people that commit binary files. LFS uses some sort of internal filtering and tracking to determine which binary files might have

I always assumed the all kids having glasses anymore thing was just because they spend way too much time on phones and tablets watching tv. It used to be common knowledge that sitting too close to a screen messed up your vision, and somehow

One thing that I appreciate about Catholicism is that it attempts to be a much more rigorous and academic approach to faith when compared to the more "evangelical" strains of Christianity popular in the US. The Reformation did som

Given the number of people I know personally who have already gotten the vaccine, it seems to me that they aren't being terribly stingy with handing it out to people. I would expect the even moderately wealthy to be able to cut in line

I thought that algorithm was crazy magic when I first heard of it. The method behind it is pretty fascinating. A nth degree polynomial is uniquely identified by n+1 points. So the algorithm interprets your secret to a binary numeric value,

The quote is from Blaise Pascal. The room experiment seems pretty ancillary to that.
318.
by war1025 6y ago
I think the "in a room" is irrelevant to the quote. The entire idea is that people hate being alone with their thoughts and will do nearly anything to avoid being in that situation.

Most of the arguments I saw were about the chain of custody being broken and allegations that ballots were tampered with at that point. That is different from not understanding how a paper ballot works.

by war1025 6y ago
The thing about voting is that for the public to trust voting, it needs to be something a general member of the public can understand. That is why paper balloting is such a durable voting mechanism. Pretty well anyone can understand how yo

You can only get downvoted on a post to -4, fyi. I stopped caring nearly as much about being agreeable once I learned that. For what it's worth, congrats on what you did. I'm in a similar position and I completely agree that for t

I would guess he is actually getting downvoted because he is pointing out an uncomfortable truth. The majority of the people that frequent this site are above the median income. Being in the tech field gives you a huge leg up economically.

Yea. You can get $240k in debt. Good luck getting anyone to lend you that kind of money if you're actually poor. Someone who is able to get deeply in debt basically by definition has access to money. They would not be granted loans oth
