Yup, as the other comment stated, this is par for the course in modern quality software development. Its actually rather shocking to me to see my comment get downvoted. The quality of the HN audience is declining dramatically. Feels like al

Because any long running feature branch can just live in a different repo until its ready to merge. There is a reason they are called branches not trunks. Except for rare exceptions developers should be able to break up features in a way th

It only really works if you are showing them that they are going against what they thought their base wanted. Free trade right now would probably be one where a lot of Republican members of congress would have likely been surprised to learn

We're still not sure shadowbanning is not liable behavior for fraud. So that is a risk to take all on its own.

What you are showing is a common tactic for a group that knows they are doing the wrong thing to validate themselves by claiming everyone is a bad guy. Or that the other side is worse etc etc. You would seriously have to be blind to not rea

Im just helping one to understand why there are protests and unrest. DC had a very small inaugural turnout and very large protest the day after. I was trying to give some perspective. I believe it was about 90% in Chicago. San Fransisco was

The state of California which has one of the largest economies in the world was 62% to 32% against Donald Trump. Is it really that surprising there is a fair amount of visible decent?

The largest voting blocks that have low turnout would make that gap larger, not smaller. Also, in urban areas where most of these protests are happening the gaps were enormous. In Washington, DC Donald Trump won 4% of the vote. Is it not su

Not sure if you are old enough to remember that far leftist ideological organizations were often violent up until the last quarter of the 20th century. This period of peacefulness is a recent phenomenon. One of the big pacifiers of democrac

I mean how often have you honestly seen something like this instead? (function(window, $) { var $some = $(.some-class-matching-one-element-in-a-tree-of-one-hundred-thousand'); if ($some.length < 1) { return; }

If you did that re-selecting with only a throttle you would kill performance on a decent sized DOM on a mobile device anyway. That is exactly my point about jQuery and developers. The proper thing to do would be to select that element befor

jQuery encouraged that behavior everywhere. The constant traversing of the DOM over and over and over again to re-select jQuery DOM objects. Sure you can write that correctly. But I rarely if ever saw anyone to the point that when I would,

It is no different than going to the urgent care clinic for a strep test. Doctors do not perform those either. Most diagnosis will be done via software administered by lower paid and more easily replaceable low skill labor just like urgent

You did not answer my question. I expect an answer. Why would you intentionally attempt to misinform your fellow citizens?

Is there actual case law that prohibits the use of copyrighted material for corpora and other training data? Sure distribution can have issues, but do you have any references for simple possession as training and test data?

They will not be laid off in such numbers because there is little economic incentive to do so. Machines cost a lot of money. And they require maintenance over time. You have to realize how little these workers make. Paying US rent full time
