Not to imply any specific doubts—I’m aware of the narratives—but if you have references, I’m interested! Request, request.

This view is over-simplistic. Many—perhaps most—products are designed to serve more than one kind of user. Obvious example: building an e-commerce platform. The merchant is a kind of user. The customer is a different kind of user on that sa

Congrats to the team. Though in the inevitable acquisition, I wish GitHub/Microsoft had been the acquirer: there are a lot of natural fits between that ecosystem and Keybase's model, and a reasonable history of successful acquisit

At some level I agree with your sentiment about shibboleth-style filtering. Not having seen these specific "tests" though, I can charitably imagine these being relevant to fault-tolerance/managed intricacy. Things like, &quot

I care a bit. It's misleading by the standards of anyone who's used to reading graphs. Wikipedia is an organization I care about and trust and it sucks to skim a graph and realize that the axis was changed to mean something that t

That's true but still doesn't map here. Or at least, to my interpretation of it. Stock-picking is specifically referring to where you should allocate a given amount if you are investing. There's obviously more to stocks than

I believe the strategy comparison here is based on how to best allocate $X in the stock market. Choosing not to allocate it is kind of irrelevant, just like "play tic-tac-toe instead" is not a chess strategy.

It's still just one definition: A paper map relates a point on a the piece of paper to a point in some other space (topography, subway stops, interstate routes, etc). And if you relax the "carto" part of "cartography&quo

Mapping one's infrastructure is pretty common parlance. It's not even a pun, really.

I am even more of a layman than most here, but — why is it different? Isn't that basically Schrödinger's cat?

Yes — won once, and died another time on the Plane of Fire. (I meant to zap down, not at myself! Damn. Learned to think before acting. NetHack is not as real-time as it feels when you're in a sticky situation.)

Just use the word that means the thing that you're talking about, as clearly as you can. What "clear" means depends on the context and audience. It sounds like you probably already know this, but "fixed" and "c

Hey, this is really cool! Cross-language validation of data types is such a pain. This looks really well-done.

As a devil's…inquisitor, I guess— I'm curious what the reasoning has been behind the Navy's (and WWII RAF's) preference for split/seniority control and in what situations that balances out, if any. Are those situati

What "nasty tactic" are you referring to? I see: Actually I was going to suggest that we work together and merge the best features of both into a common source-base that could be used by both groups going forward: eventually u

This is a really interesting topic that I know little about. This paper was published 36 years ago—is it still current with modern understanding of sailing? Or has anything changed or been refined significantly since?

Devil's advocate: Wouldn't a person who prefers sitting be more likely to keep a job as a driver rather than conductor? An unhealthy person might think, "Ugh, I'd have to be on my feet all day." And a healthy person

At first I agreed with you, but realized that my preferred solution was essentially what they recommended and just with different wording. My thought process was: - Absolutely, DNS resolvers should not care or have knowledge of the prot

Your own example is more concisely covered by arrows, which are already available: class Vector { constructor(x=0, y=0, z=0) { this.x = x; this.y = y; this.z = z; setTimeout(() => console.log(this.x + &quo

This is a really helpful way of describing the problem. Concretely describing behavioural coupling in terms of graphs is much less hand-wavy than the normal, "things become tightly coupled and which becomes hard to deal with."

Your example seems to assume translation only. I wonder how difficult/useful it would be to identify other kinds of time-varying characteristics (translation, rotation, scale, hue, saturation, brightness, etc) of partial scene elements

The `with` statement seems similar to Haskell's `do` notation for monads, where the monad(ish) here is pattern matching. I'm new to Elixir but I've definitely run into the "byzantine case-clause" issue and it can be

This is a small anecdote, but: I'm happy with my current iPhone and the current models aren't additionally compelling enough to me to upgrade. I have an iPhone 5S and don't want a larger one. When the iPhone SE came out, I wa

Agreed. A common objection from new developers is that "commit messages are hard and they slow me down", so if that's how you feel (for example, you're starting a fresh project): go crazy with your commits and don't

They did say "1.6x faster", not using the term "speedup" (which is terrible nomenclature too, but that's not the point). To say that something that's no faster is identical to something that's "1x fas
