I'm not sure you can call what is in Central America actual functioning capitalism. A random individual in that area can't easily raise capital and start a business. They are subject to extreme levels of crime and cronyism. A lot

Complexity often masks a lack of search for simplicity. Or was "let" the simplest answer?

I don't agree with "unusable" but "academic" probably has some justification. The fact that it has a "let" keyword does make it "academic" to me. I'm fairly sure we can now have compilers th

I've worked in such places. Kissing on cheek etc is also a thing. It will be interesting to see where that leads in the long tail of the #metoo change. I've already seen a lot of people who I've known to overly hug and show a

How does this compare to just using Postgres? Is this a networked version of sqlite?

Python, Lua, Perl, and oddly enough C. Embedding these in C also works well. Interpret "Embedding C in C" as writing a dynamic linked library for an existing executable rather than something more exotic. I recommend C here only fo

Maybe forcing google devs / management to use 4gb ram machines would incentise them? Requiring 16gb or more for email is excessive.

Names have the power to guide perception about what they identify. "Quantum teleportation" is as easily misused as that of "dark matter". Is it actually matter? If the answer isn't a definite yes then the term doesn

I've been assigned tasks and simply essentially ignored them after any of my initial questions were ignored by those who assigned the task. Reasons include: task not assigned by my supervisor. No funding. No resources in general. No co

Let's explore religion for a moment and why it tends to hate atheism so much. 1. People who believe are threatened by those who do not. It is disconcerting to have belief systems attacked or ripped out from under you. "Those who a

Definitely seen the divides it's created in the communities. The CoC discussion is likely a positive thing as it is bringing up issues that need light in them. I'd like to see some evidence of the funding limitations, quotas etc.

The Amish have industrial strength belief in the power of forgiveness. The mind boggles at the power of their belief. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/02/amish-shooti...

I'm not sure an apology for murdering my family would be heard without a lot of anger and resentment. Other concepts such as revenge, retribution and other sentiments would likely also come to into play regardless of sincerity. You mak

Apologies are hard for governments and corporations as they can't usually die like a natural citizen so there is no "at least it's in the past" aspect. The "person" who did the atrocity is still at large. They

Yes. Depending on how you approach it. Get legal advice. Various courts operating at local level can do surprising things. Like impose small fines or settlements, as well as pass judgements if the company doesn’t turn up.

This sets a bad precedent. I’m not convinced this is good for anyone regardless of how innocuous it seems. Apple wouldn’t tolerate this if it was done to them. It would be like Disney complaining about copyright infringement while infringin

If no one votes or too many idiots are voting then you could say the process has become incompetent. People forget that by not voting they are actually agreeing with every policy going forward. By actually voting you are saying that one

Two things to consider: - Identify cause(s) of stress. Operate on that cause. Address symptoms but work on the underlying cause. - Depression is not simple but consider if your depression is about past or future. Either direction is a probl

What an incompetent bureaucracy. Voting envelopes should be “postage paid”. Government should be picking up those costs automatically.

I understand the dream of having a retro thing. And I’m hoping the goal stays the way they like it. The floppy drive irks me though. I’d still re-box that sucker or put sd card slots or USB inside it. Maybe if I can just get the motherboard

I’d actually say they should reread the codes of conduct and consider if they are commenting in good faith in accordance with those codes.
