Yes but casting pointers is virtually required in any non-trivial C program, and frankly even a lot of the trivial ones, because there's no other way to do type erasure or generics. Well, there kind of are now, and there's always

Gutting doesn't magically solve incompetence. It's a anti-solultion that people peddle because it requires literally zero thought or nuance. If an organization has systemic incompetence and you gut them, then they're still in

Taxes = theft is one of the most tired, low-brow, and intellectually lazy viewpoints ever. We all understand the concept of commons. We all understand the concept of money pooling. Don't pretend it doesn't make sense or it's

Markdown can contain arbitrary HTML. It only makes sense to use an HTML viewer for what is essentially a dialect of HTML, aka a browser engine.

Yes and that's bad. Saying it's bad doesn't make it not-bad, it just makes it still bad but now we know it's bad.

You require both team players and "rockstar" individuals. It's not one or the other or a competition, because they do different things. Yes if you put a someone who can't work on a team on a team and expect team work the

Yes, being a cop is like being black, you got it exactly right. You should write a book, or something, so the whole world can hear how unbelievably fucking stupid you sound. Im not going to even try to argue further once we've reached

You basically didn't address anything I wrote - this is one of the most worthless comments I've written in a while. I will reiterate. If you, or others, want to hit children then that's something you need to justify with cold

I think it's important to note that our understanding of whiteness has changed over time. And, during that time, there was division amongst even what we consider today as white people. Polish and Italian immigrants often faced discrimi

Having a difference of opinion can absolutely be a delusion. For example, I think you're probably not God. If you thought you were God, then we'd disagree, and you'd also be delusional. I use that example because I have liter

This feels wrong. 8 joins is almost certainly reporting stuff, not transactional. Contrary to what some SQL-averse devs think, 300 lines of SQL is actually more maintainable than the equivalent ~1000 lines of application code. It's als

We often see this bizarre workflow where notes, like engineering notes, are converted to large prose using AI. And then, the large prose is converted back to short bullet points on the other end for summarization!

Ah yes, more fragmentation. Surely that will lower the complexity and administrative burden, thereby leading to reduced costs! The reason healthcare in the US is expensive is very simple: too many cooks in the kitchen. Private insurance sim

The reason it's going to providers is because US healthcare is extraordinarily inefficient. Providers spend too much time doing, well, everything. From admin, to medical records, to documentation. Very little of their time goes to actu

It is most definitely disputable that it destroy social cohesion. The US was cohesive after WWII, by that point we already had a LOT of non-white people. Also black Americans have been here since the start.

Yes but if you're wondering about drug interactions you shouldn't ask AI, because there's always a risk of hallucination. You should ask your pharmacist. You can just call them, I promise they won't reject a consult.

In general, customization is a net negative. There was a time when apps just used native OS controls for everything, and it was way better. Sure branding was lost, but that's not my problem. Most apps are generic, they should act like

Realistically this is something you need to do to some degree. I mean, you probably want to silence the "kill yourself" part of twitter and want to amplify the "please don't kill yourself" part. Regardless, I think

Getting files on and off of a phone is shockingly hard. Shockingly. It's even worse on an iPhone, if you don't have a mac. To get my photos from my iPhone to my PC, I had to first upload them to iCloud and then download them again

Yes a lot of scams basically are elaborate ways to get interest-free loans. The only way to discourage these types of scams is to require the claw-back to include high interest. Which probably feels very punitive, so we don't do it. Ge

But it's a bit of a nasty trick because food, in particular, has inflated in price a lot the past 3 years. Some items, like sugar, are legitimately double the price they were.
