So someone tweeted a "rape joke" from their account. The deleted the joke and apologized pretty much immediately. But now it's fair game to release their private emails and generally insult them all over the internet? What&#x

Is this guy serious? He is literally insulting people for enjoying learning stuff they are interested in because it doesn't carry the Seal of Institutional Approval. He even calls Gates shallow for enjoying a course on oceanography! &g

I recommend reading K&R ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language ) if you haven't already. It's got all sorts of elegant tricks like this. But of course it depends on very particular implem

Thanks for all the condescension. That a gender stereotype exists in gaming is hardly new information. I would've liked something like "Shaky marketing in the 80's helped establish the current stereotype" and then I woul

I dunno if it's just me, but I usually skip an article that starts with something like "Four-year-old Riley Maida stands in a toy aisle of a department ...." and then there's a mile of scrolling to do. At least tell me w

I think the current Excel formula language is perfect for what it does. 99.999% excel users don't really need anything more than sum or sumif. I work extensively in Excel and we have an in-house programming language that can be run wi

>Is 'legalese' really a high-level language I think he meant the language that lawyers might use amongst themselves. Legalese is actually fairly low level. It's like a fully type annotated version of English that redefines

Is there any way to automatically generate a provisioning script based on what was installed on the guest machine? For example, I do "vagrant ssh" and then install my whole development environment and it creates a script to do it

Okay, I apologize about implying that you're being intentionally obtuse. About the ethics argument, you (or maybe someone else above) said that anti-homosexuality is a violent hateful position, and the homosexuality is just a sexual pr

It's understandable, but doesn't make it right. I personally dislike his opinions enough not to pay a dollar to watch his movies or read his books. I might even be loathe to give him enough respect to read this article, but that&#

I don't think that qualifies for an ad hominem at all. It's only ad hominem if the factor you're dismissing the author due to happens to be irrelevant to his current argument. That's not the case, I agree. Having said th

It seems like you're purposely misinterpreting his point. He's not saying what should be, he's saying what probably was. You might have been saying that homosexuality is unethical a hundred years ago with the same certainty

Seriously, that makes sense. Ender with the weird sister (non)incest situation is a stand-in for the author. He's not actually a bad person, just really repressed?

The iPod for television? I can't even imagine what that is supposed to do. It's a Chromecast/Airplay type device, stream stuff on to your TV from your wifi.

How would an Isro engineer get access to bribes and stuff? All that is for people dealing with large public funds and services.

Well F# is basically ML.net so why not check out OCaml? Same language, and no windows required.

If people don't find it comfortable enough to use its really not a very useful idea. Like the standing tables. Okay it works, but I still want to sit on a comfy chair.

I fully agree with Jesus on this one, but sometimes I wonder what I would do in a situation where this belief was really challenged. I hope I don't have to find out.

Consider all the PC-only titles. It's safe to assume that many of them make the vast majority of their sales via Steam. If steam promises massive takeup of SteamOS, then it's in their best interests to make them available for it.
