I think it's clear that the other side of the story is a concept that applies chiefly to controversial stories. And this story is extremely controverial. No wonder people rightfully remind there's another side.

Indeed, separating Facebook as is would be close to impossible. However, a first step would be imposing FB to expose all features and user data using an open protocol to be defined. That would be a good thing on its own, given that it would

Yes I have, and I have used interfaces which were as rich, or even richer, for decades, without the need of embedding web content. For instance GTK apps in the earlies 2000s were easily displaying content as rich.

Since when you need a web browser to display content? Slack could easily use native widgets, without embedding any HTML.

> since when is a lack of comments in the body of a method a good thing? I think that's the rationale: you are supposed to explain what you do, not how you do it. The function is short enough that a global comment is enough. I agree

I like Rust, but I hate with a passion the borrow system. So I was looking for an unsafe-by-default Rust and I found D, thanks to the suggestion of a kind HN user. I must admit that I love it!

You are mistaking two different aspects. You can be declared guilty by preponderance of evidence, of course, but still you are innocent until proven guilty.

People may invade your personal space for many reasons: because they are taller than average, because they may be commuting for a long time and need to move their legs a bit, because they simply forgot or think about something else, because

I am wondering why the GNU version uses atexit (close_stdout); Aren't all streams closed at exit? And why closing stdout, anyway?

The point is that this feminist trend of sticking a "man" label over common problems makes me sick. It's unnecessarily confrontational, just like your comment. And btw yes, the problem, as it is described by the sexist slur &

Is there clear evidence that this reasoning justifies such a ginormous tax rate? It looks to me a lot about the story that if you run, you'll sweat. If you sweat, you'll take a cold. If you take a cold, you'll sneeze. If you

I am much taller than average, way above the 99th percentile. On public transportation and on planes, as a matter of fact, I occupy more space than most people. Sometimes seats are designed so that I cannot help but invade someone else&#x27

I am skeptical that a 180% tax on fuel-powered cars is good policy, however I can see the point given that Denmark is extremely concerned about the environment. That said, I think that the same bracket on electric cars is a truly draconian

No good reason for being sexist, in my opinion. Even assuming you are right, two wrongs (or two sexisms) do not make a right.

You miss the point: as you note, there's a sexist behaviour observed in some men. You have to choose a word to describe this behaviour. If you choose a word that suggests that a whole category has that certain behaviour, then you are b

I was well aware of the existence of D, however I always thought of it as an extension of C++, so being more complex and more bloated. Clearly I was wrong, and I spent the last hour playing with D! Many thanks for your advice!

I have been looking for a long time for a C-like language, with a small number of object-oriented features and support for some functional primitives. The closer I got is Rust, but I really hate the borrow system, I suppose I could program
