Um, no. Past generations didn't have sneakers, t-shirts, jeans, or video games, and social security is at an all-time low (at least in the US). Dads in the past were remarkably shitty and it isn't really even clear why.

Nope, wrong on all counts. You need to delete stale issues, it's no good having an endless backlog of someone's nice-to-haves that they no longer even care about. And, the "whole idea" of logging issues is not to see how

Genocide is by definition against a group having common genetic/ethnic identity. One might also consider that animals are people, too. However, I don't think you can make the case that Disney set out to wipe lemmings from the eart

You can camp for free on national parks and most state parks as well. So I'm wondering what exactly OP is going on about unless being super edgy.

The brick house with the faux shutters is also using faux lintels -- the bricks are vertical but since there is no overlap and no arch they are providing no structural support.

If Wall Street is not to blame for "business cycles", why are you against bailouts? There's no such thing as sound money, it's always being manipulated. This is by design.

If `git status` is literally taking 30 seconds to run, it's not because you checked in your vendor dir lol. Seriously, version control systems are specifically built to handle that kind of thing. You're mistaken as to the cause of

No, it is though, because other package managers are not daemons and they don't have this problem.

Ok bucko- First of all, motors exist that can support more than 220 pounds, Mr. "Engineering Discussion". The conversation was absolutely not about engineering when I entered -- it was about how unhealthy anyone who weighed more t

Who's to say not doing type coercion isn't weird? Every dynamic language treats things slightly differently.

by workinthehead 8y ago
Thank you for illustrating my point. All of the dynamic languages made different decisions on how to handle type conflicts, there simply is no right or wrong answer. Oh, and JavaScript is single-threaded. It's impossible to share resou

every dynamically-typed language has "weird" behaviour around type coercion, that's simply the nature of the beast. sure wish i knew what you are talking about w/r/t "silently failing". JS has working exce

Well that's cool, I guess HN isn't above some good old-fashioned fat-hate.

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's not like he did a study. There are plenty of modern day white knights who will happily proclaim women to be the better sex and we don't give them any credence.

Nice "No true Scotsman" you got there.

Everybody says that. Especially when they aren't doing so good at profit.

Even if your numbers meant anything (they don't) what's your point? It's ok to discriminate against unhealthy people?

If you're going to flog your pet project repeatedly, you should at least provide a substantive response around it. This comment provides no value. It's just an ad.

That's an extension. It doesn't come with PHP (not "out of the box").

HighCharts for paid, Chart.js for open source.

You know, HN could really do without the person who constantly tells everyone how well-off we all are. Learn economics. And then hold your tongue next time.

Well, 741 million, I don't believe the road network figures were restricted to EU members only.

I wonder if you're referring to what's described in the first section of this article: http://www.onestopenglish.com/grammar/grammar-reference/amer... As a lifelong American, I don't think that this

I've already seen the acronym expressed as FAAMG, which is probably more accurate to start with; Netflix has great performance but is nowhere near the market cap of the other companies.

All the young people I know are frittering away their evenings and weekends drinking and going to festivals. The idea that they are poring studiously over some machine learning textbook is pretty laughable.

Remote jobs can be tough too. It's hard to get paid what you're worth, and you have to do extra work to be visible to the non-remote employees so that you aren't perceived as the guy who does 2 hours of real work while wearin
