I won't let the reaction of a sample of people dictate how I express myself, and I will not hold other people to that standard either. When did the pursuit of rationality get replaced by the onslaught of feelings? A person can feel ins

I don't think that "sort of feel" is a bar high enough, when the consequences for an individual can and have been so severe.

Surely meaning is foremost dictated by context? English does not have a context free grammar. I can say the actual n-word without meaning to enflame or diminish - it is very easy in fact: take a sentence where I would have used the literal

What's the difference between saying n-word and the actual word? The concept that symbolises in my head is the same - and so any difference necessarily is to the benefit of the speaker, not the listener.

When the data no longer fits inside a compute resource (a node, or even a rack), you are by necessity going to be distributed. Communication is a fact of life when the problem-size grows. This is true also for GPU-based computing.

But wouldn't a deep investigation of reality and the world, of which we and our feelings are a part, more conclusively check and balance our thinking?

But I never said that, you're building a strawman. I said that punishment is a necessary part of prison, it is the main thing of justice. You may or may not agree with that position, but unless you are willing to reply to me on a good

Okay, thats nice. Do you think anyone here on HN is in favour of people going hungry? And by a free lunch, I meant the idiomatic expression.

You are building the strawman of strawmen here. I never gave a reason that prisoners should be treated worse, as that implies I am arguing for an increase in punishment compared to the situation today. Which I nowhere did. Perhaps to nuance

Of course my opinions seem uninformed to you, when you intentionally misconstrue them as you have done.

I was not complaining about anything. They aren't ex-felons, after they are released, they are felons. I do not think you understood my original comment, since you keep quoting that sentence only. Where is the restitution to the aggrie

You never _have_ to victimize someone, no matter your circumstances.

I don't think I advocated that all sentences should be for life, and I don't get how you got to there from what I wrote.

A prime minister of Sweden stated that "He, who is in debt, is not free". Sometimes nuances makes communicating concepts less efficient, and debt bondage is one such case.

And the contrary view is that the professor has a pronounced responsibility to see past unfortunate framing and phrasing of intricate subject matter details. Both are worthwhile goals, I think.

The original reason is that it was not possibly to implement in a type-safe manner with c++98, as it lacked variadic templates. The << stream << stuff was always a compromise.
