No snark, but if you sincerely believe that, then there can't be a Libertarian Utopia because the libertarians are outnumbered by scoundrels 1mil to 3. Why would you take a path destined for failure?

They didn't know they were, but I think soldiers were in the room, so similar idea.

This is so dangerous. Society's bigotry is going to flood that bad boy so quick you might as well name it Gobbels. I love ML. I want children to be safe. This is not the place for ML or AI or Quantum or any tech. What needs to exist is

I'm not sure that's an issue by itself. If the prompt is broad enough, a minimum length can be reasonable for essays. It certainly could be a problem if the prompt was too narrow, or time constraints, or some other factor. Do you

On one hand, I agree with you. I remember having to argue whether I showed my work or not by using imaginary numbers instead of standard formulas in high school physics. But even with these examples, the path of appeal and rectification of

Things like this story, Word's auto-grader, and Grammerly's style preferences are all surreal to me. We are asking a computer to validate prose meant for human consumption. Not a reflection of physical reality like sensor data or

I'd argue that the expectation of perpetual population growth is one of the big problems (the unsustainability of social security bottlenecking at the baby boomers being an obvious example). There is a compelling case for immigration f

Not without change, but I'd argue further change is certain, and likely to be of large magnitude. I do not know if it will be sustainable, but I doubt it will be static.

I'll second this downvoted opinion. The mismatch between economic good created by and economic incentive to create OSS is just tragic from a hard numbers perspective. How do you fix it though? A large funding program? If the state or p

I agree, somehow we're not all writing everything in Rust yet. Maybe it's coming, but I doubt it.

How does the nuclear waste being dangerous for between 200 and 15.7 million years[1] factor into the ROI? Not snark, I just can't fathom how to reliably keep something sealed for 15.7 million years, much less the knowledge of what it i

You are 100% right. I made a rubric for my company's sales department to grade third party APIs against. Documentation, tutorial, working example on github, and sdk in <teams_favorite_lang> were all worth points.

I too am curious about the author's opinions of SICP. As a self taught developer, SICP and HTDP gave me the classic "My-Eyes-Are-Open-And-Now-Can-See" experience. I didn't feel like it was something to take with me to bu

How do you weigh something like the burka? On one hand to reject it, you would be intolerant of hundreds of years of tradition. On the other hand, to permit it is to accept the idea that men are incapable of controlling not sexually assualt

I see what you're saying now, there's nothing about Docker or containerizing that promotes using the wrong tool for the job. It just happens to be employed by other frameworks that make it easier to make that mistake.
