You didn’t ever think the same. You’re an anti-science, anti-intellectual because it helps prop up your fascist desires.

No. There is evidence to support that it naturally occurred through contact tracing due to the large clustered concentration of outbreak within the confines of the market. There is no evidence to support a lab leak. This is not “your theory

I’m really not sure what you mean. There is literally zero evidence supporting a lab leak, while there’s multitudes of evidence of multiple contact leaps in the market. Was there a time when the lab leak theory had the same credibility as i

1) In general, older code tends to have security patches 2) it costs money to run a business, and saving money through gross negligence, leading to real people having real impacts through massive data leaks while suffering zero repercussion

It’s a little especially strange as IBM hasn’t exactly made a great reputation for themselves over the last several years. Name dropping IBM makes me think that the reserve is generally not confident and is ready to blame IBM for what they

Yeah. People like to push that there are “legitimate reasons” to want old versions, but it usually comes down to businesses. I would suggest instead that there are no legitimate reasons, and that businesses who are requiring old software ar

I don’t think I, or the idea of affirmative action said anything about racism against asians, in particular the recent surge (most probably due to Mr CHAI-NUH and his base). A system of “merit” simply cannot be built on top of a system of r

There is no connection between punitive actions and reduction of the causal behaviour. Fraud in science is a problem in that the very small minority of actors that conduct themselves unethically has had massive reach with groups that seek t

Sure, but this is also what defer is for. There isn’t implicitly called destructors because the languages mantra is “no hidden control flow”. RAII et semantics is almost entirely hidden control flow that you just have to “know”. Lots of peo

Zig does not have closures, and probably never will barring someone coming up with a nice, no hidden flow idea for captures.

Huh? Lots of language do not have guaranteed to be called at a specific time “destructors”. Additionally, zig provides this functionality with defer and errdefer, giving you the ability to explicitly call a function at the end of scope.

Well. Chrome definitely lit a fire under Firefox, and that’s saying something because, at the time chrome came out, Firefox was “fast”. I switched to chrome early on for the speed benefits. At some point, Firefox started getting pretty clos

As far as well can tell, all of the previous mass extinctions were due primarily to climate change. Your prediction has no evidence behind it. On the contrary, the evidence suggests that we are currently at the beginning of a mass extinctio

Yeah. The whole “scientists do the fraud” bullshit is just annoying. Do scientists sometimes post fraudulent results and/or claims? Sure. And they also get busted by other scientists. Is this a frequently occurring thing in the grand s

FWIW you mostly can’t smell yourself the same way other smell you. So even if you did stink, you wouldn’t normally notice. When people smell their pits, they can tell when it stinks, but they have to really get their nose in there, whereas

I mean. Helix is a pretty decent editor with a nice set of defaults over vim. Not as customizable. But I pretty much would configure vim to do what helix does out of the box anyway.

See. I used to think similarly. Newer software must be more secure, because we definitely know about all these problems and how to deal with them. What that doesn’t consider is that the vast majority of programmers simply don’t care to keep

The “if it’s possible” is a major part of the reason to not catch the root exception. Catching typed exceptions give you much more easily parsable details about whether or not “it’s possible” to recover. It’s bad practice to catch the root

As opposed to the world where corporations manage it, and they stuff everything with sugar? It sucks that this is the dichotomy, but yes, absolutely, a bureaucrat will probably end up getting better food to you than corporate interests.

Feeling similar due to phone just being faster is not the same as a loss of performance. You are still paying performance for using web apps, and even though your fingers don’t feel it as badly, your battery sure does.
