I think we're all figuring out the modernized rules for pronouns as we go. Nothing about it is written in stone. For my part, I think it's fine to say "they are" for a singular person, but "who" should stay sin

This isn't "another perspective". It's the exact perspective the GP is addressing. You're looking at the iPad product family and saying "I want to use this for things other than the intended purposes." Yes

Thankfully, it's not en either/or situation. The principle that site designers need to start abiding by is to not reinvent the browser--there's no need to use JS for routing or single page apps. The browser does that fantasti

Sounds like this is less about whether RoR was the right tool for the job and more that no one other the implementer was familiar with Ruby/Rails (and maybe not even them). This might mean that this wasn't the right tool _for your

You ask people to stop eating animals, but your complaints aren't about eating animals. They are about how we keep and handle those animals. Would you be more okay with eating animals if they were kept in better habitats, designed for

It's practical, but it's not logically consistent with what's considered a "word" in Vim. "Delete word" and "Delete until next word" are two different functionalities, so there's an inconsis

I have the opposite question: Why is our financial system so complicated it requires such an in depth education just for basic participation?

Same. My normal set up is having a shell window with 4 tabs: 1. Text editing 2. Command Line 3. Program logs 4. Code console Flipping through them is a breeze, and I never have to leave Terminal. The displays are always simple, straight for

Unless Facebook stopped creating shadow profiles of non-users (have they? I'm not a user and don't keep up with it) I don't think they have a leg to stand on.

Upvoting so that people who need this may see it and benefit from it. However, it's not that I'm not aware of features available to my editor of choice, it's that I specifically don't want an editor with those features.

Should it be expected that all programmers use these text editors and have access to these tools? As someone that likes to keep his editor simple (to an extent--I'm using VIM after all), I always get frustrated when people try to intro

I don't think her point was that people shouldn't take Vitamin D to combat Covid. Her point is that people shouldn't be taking high dosages of Vitamin D as a preventative against Covid as the risks can outweigh the rewards.

Thanks for your input. I think a valuable thing that can be added to the conversation is a rough evaluation of how long vitamin D takes to leave the body. It's easy for us to look at a bottle and control how much we're putting in,

Fine idea on paper, but it opens up the doors for all sorts of accounting games. You have to keep in mind that the wealthy will always afford more capable and less ethical lawyers and accountants than the public.

Eh. On the one hand, I agree. On the other hand, the wealthy have proved that unless prison is a possible punishment, they're willing and eager to repeatedly pay away their crimes.
