That's too cynical. The truth is usually pleasant.

I don't see how that's relevant. The mere fact that some people deny that 911 happened doesn't mean 911 didn't happen.

Are you kidding me? I can't fathom how your last sentence could even conceivably be true.

But is that really as hypocritical as you seem to suggest? After all we are, for lack of a better phrase, the good guys. It's not unprincipled to give the good guys more benefit of the doubt.

Chinese here. How do you guys reconcile your own torrenting, usage of sci-hub etc with the tendency to portray us as monsters for "theft of American intellectual property"? I'm granting that we did (and on a large enough scal

Honestly, the censored stuff is crap anyways. Reading the censored stuff is what leads people to devote their lives to "politics", "activism", and "social justice", and away from the really good stuff such as

I mean, it was a rhetorical question, which by definition is a question asked not to elicit an answer but to make a point.

That's just the art of writing headlines. How else do they generate online conversation except by stating it in a obviously flawed way provoking people like you to point out the flaw and people with a penchant for "charity" t

English needed spaces because the graphemes are of variable length, so without spacing there is no telling in any quick way where one meaning unit ends and another begins. The idea that Chinese "needs" spacing is a little like a U

Did you try to click on it? I had the same button last year when I cancelled. When I clicked, it took me to a page where I'm asked to call them?

It's also very hard to cancel even by calling. When I cancelled my subscription last year, it wasted twenty minutes of my time even though I was firm throughout. The retaining person at one point even insulted me when I didn't cat

You mean "at most"? I've noticed an interesting tendency to mix up "at least" and "at most" even though they are opposite in meaning. I've even heard people say at best when they mean at worst

That's true, but I think the full name usually has, just as the full names of Beijing Shanghai Tianjin etc contain 市 even though the short names doesn't. And the short names of England, France, America, Germany, Korea, Thai, and C

Chinese in many respects is a more explicit language. Variables are generally required to "wear their types on their names". All the disease names contain the word disease (imagine if we must speak of "rabies disease" a

Would this advice apply to JavaScript (ES6)? Can anyone speak from experience?

Journalists should stick to what they are trained, paid, and most qualified to do: reporting. Just like actors should stick to acting.

Agree with the last sentence. All the different data structures for example. Where do they come from? Presumably because in doing some practical tasks we realize it would be a lot more efficient if we organize data that way. To acquire prof

I think this is a little unfair. Tiger parenting is never designed to make the child into some kind of Issac Newton figure. Tiger parents want their children to become financially successful - lawyers, doctors, etc. High-skill workers. The

Emojis make your code a little more like math formulas. In math formulas you use single letters. This makes the syntax easy to parse, but has the drawback that the letters are mostly meaningless and so not very suggestive. Names in programm

For me the biggest argument in favor of atom is that because it's based on chromium it displays emojis properly, in colors. As someone who makes use of emojis extensively as variable and function names, this is very important.
