I don't understand how so many people can discuss this as though it's not some random gmail account that made the comment.

There is none. The comment is from some random gmail account, it doesn't mean anything.

tsets are described in more detail here: https://buck2.build/docs/rule_authors/transitive_sets/ . Bazel's depsets were one of the influences on their design. To users, they will seem fairly similar and wo

It is insane that that is allowed. I'm not sure if it is more or less insane that there are Tesla fans that would defend that.

But you don't understand. Car analysts since the early 90s have been saying that electric cars would become profitable and become a serious chunk of the market by 2020 because they all knew that musk was going to come along and show us

This is actually pretty much the dumbest argument if you take just a moment to think about it. Imagine some drug that costs $100 million to develop and that the most it can earn in the market is $70 million at a price of $1000. Okay, but th

Good question. Also what's the price of an equivalent dose of Cheerios?

That's bullshit. Companies have "whole letter"s for pretty much everything they do. Gilead had a "whole letter" when they said they'd provide 1.5 million doses for free. Was that also loaded with crap and the &

Also, wtf is with your blatant misquote of even this biased article. It's 14 of the first 41 have no connection.

Anyone who reads this, be aware, it's total nonsense. It's ridiculous fear mongering, "omg, if it's not from eating bats, it must be from a lab!!!".

Well, they weren't. But conspiracy theories are rarely about what things are or what happened and more about incredulity about what things aren't.

Haven't looked at their build, but it's almost certainly the case that they are generating some sort of rust binding from the typescript code and the compilation times are actually from needing to recompile rust.

Sure and an argument could be made that the specific things happening in this situation are wrong. That's not the argument that I replied to. I replied to a flippant argument that it is always wrong to charge different people different

Why? Would it be wrong for a restaurant to provide meals for free to those in need?

From the article: Steven Brust: "Ask what's more important, human rights, or property rights. If they say property rights are a human right, they're on the right."

Right, these sorts of surveys typically have 5 answers: strong negative, negative, neutral, positive, strong positive.

Yeah, every single remark from the DNC in that article was absolutely ridiculous. All zero of them.

Your stats are just totally made up aren't they? In 2017, 1% of households had all sockets using LED and 71% had not a single socket using LED. 11% still had all sockets using incandescent. https://www.eia.gov/todayinen

That's only the case as long as complying with California's emissions laws is not too much harder than what they would otherwise have to comply with. That's a complicated analysis, it's kinda got a bit of prisoner's

They won't, and that puts the lie to all these people saying it's no big deal and they don't have to go to work if they don't want to.

Well first, you don't seem to understand how herd immunity works. That 70% you quote is only a useful number when there isn't an active epidemic. With an active epidemic you get significant overshoot. If we dropped all mitigation

I'm curious what your response to the Cambridge Analytica stuff was? Open APIs to build your own experience are like 100 times worse than that, at least the APIs that CA used were limited (such that they didn't provide enough info

This is typical academic code. The response is utterly embarrassing for the software engineering profession.

This is the only time I've ever actually been embarrassed to be part of this profession. Maybe other cases i can just say it's limited to this other subgroup that doesn't include me...

That definition is rather too broad. It makes basically everything spyware which dilutes the word too much to be useful.

It's not just industry-wide that people say Glassdoor is wrong, it's individual companies. The last I looked at Glassdoor for companies where I knew the pay scales, the averages from Glassdoor were way too low.

Or think about it for a moment and realize that it would be True with either precedence if interpreted as expected. Or read the very first part of the linked page that shows: >>> (True == False) is False True >>> T

Any serious analysis would find that the fate of Elon Musk has nothing to do with your likelihood of dying on Mars.

> Musk is a phd Wow. That's impressive considering he was only in a phd program for two days (and that it wasn't even a physics program).
