I don't think you can point at a specific action, but the leaked (Podesta, I think) emails seemed to show that the DNC was working to help the Clinton campaign to the detriment of Sanders during the primary. This lead to the resignatio

The idea here is to make a clear split between owning and licensing. If the company decides they are selling the items themselves then the items should be repairable by the new owner. If the company decides they are merely selling the right

I don't think there needs to be parity between the prosecution and defense in this matter. Those technicalities on the defense side serve to help protect the rights of the accused, while on the prosecution side they just obscure the tr

That's not really a meaningful argument. You're talking about a large multi-cellular organism that has tissues, organs, and all that and comparing it to something that doesn't even have cells.

> The difference here is that neo-nazis make a decision to be bigots. They could stop. Most LGBT people consider their status to be a matter of birth. I don't understand why this argument gets thrown about so often. Obviously not so

I don't understand the extreme focus on brevity, though it does seem to be mentioned regularly. In practice I don't notice a difference between "begin" and "{". It's not something I have to think about, an

Did you figure out why customers would leave? I've been thinking about doing something in the "most people use a spreadsheet" space and hearing that people went back to it after a year of using a dedicated product is a little

Do you feel bad for using any of the multitude of tax-payer funded services available? Taxes are already pretty divorced from use of the services they pay for. People with more money than you have had more of it "forcefully" taken

I don't think there's much predictive power there. The people who are answering thousands clearly just haven't though about it before and are on the spot. Humans are just terrible with big numbers, and thousands sounds like a

I agree that it is "useless trivia." The reason is that things today are "fast enough." These days most slowdowns aren't the result of the CPU not executing instructions fast enough. Other factors dominate, such as

It takes significantly less than a second to turn a screw once. A couple orders of magnitude less actually, to give it some relation to the computer question. Which really just demonstrates the point, I think. At some point things are &quot

I agree with you in general, but not when only talking about the mathematical understanding. If you want to add fractions by individually adding the numerators and denominators and the only reason you don't is one of these checks, you

I've always done those quick checks myself because otherwise I'm prone to making errors. They give me a quick answer of "no, you can't do this" but I never found they actually improved my understanding of anything.

That's not really relevant. You only need to check if the equations hold if you don't understand the math involved. You've already lost at that point. Checking is the smart thing to do then, but ideally what is important is t

And meanwhile I've been having no trouble with Firefox, but had to stop using Palemoon because too many websites were breaking consistently.

Yes. That single pouch is a significant problem when you generate several a day. They are intended to be used for meal prep, which involves hot water. They're fairly heavy and large, and you have to carry them out with you. You can sav

Those are really not alternatives to the mentioned uses. The freeze dried food selection is somewhat limited, tends to be very salty, takes substantially more time to prepare, and generates a lot of waste you get to continue hauling around.

Of course you can compare them. I didn't mean we shouldn't ever look at the differences in how languages do things. We should. I meant I didn't understand how one could be seen as a replacement or straight alternative of the

Ada addresses memory issues in a couple ways. In a general sense, the language is designed to prevent the need for explicit allocations and pointers as much as possible. The runtime uses a secondary stack to return dynamically-sized objects

As as been mentioned, integer bounds for one. Using aspects in Ada will also let you provide other assurances (at compile time or runtime, depending). Additionally, the "newtype" in Ada is far easier to work with. The new type inh

Again here the word "safety" starts to get rather muddy. What Rust calls safe is not what Ada calls safe. I'd rather be specific about what we're talking about. Memory safety is not, itself, program correctness. It'

by fghvbnvbnfe 9y ago
When things such as the borrow checker are so heavily built in to the language, I find it hard to to see how Rust isn't ultimately intended to do memory safety. Obviously it does other things, and I'm sure it has some cool ideas i

by fghvbnvbnfe 9y ago
This idea that Rust and Ada are somehow alternatives continually pops up, and I still don't understand it. They each have their own ideas on what "safety" is, and how to address it. I'll admit I'm biased towards Ada
