Discussing improved hurricane protections is shifting the conversation to addressing symptoms rather than root causes. The conversation thread starts with the assertion that the US will be unable to take climate change seriously until a ma

Thanks for the detailed reply. There’s lots here I had not considered. I’ve realized my overloading implementations have been rather simple cases.

Why do you think function overloading is messy?

To me, the fundamental issue isn't that CSS is hard, it's that CSS is just not interesting.

AMP has always and will always be a garbage idea. Stop implementing AMP.

I had already forgotten about the Trump administration's attempt to slash the ARC. That would have been a huge economic hit to Appalachia.

There's something you don't understand about Kentucky: The huge economic divide between Eastern Kentucky (Appalachia) and the rest of the state. Appalachia clings to being a coal based economy, and it's been failing them for

I will say your take is reasonable, but on projects I manage I still push for usage of const/enum in these cases.

It sounds like you really just disagree with the example given, not necessarily the rule itself. You're arguing that `isAdmin()` might require a different implementation in a difference scenario, but you have not made a case that the

I can understand why you say Three-Body has a rather traditional solution, but I would argue said solution is misdirection. The first book is really just setting up the real meat of the story, in the 2nd and 3rd books.

Invading our Solar System was worth the risk for Tri-Solaris. Because of the Dark Forest nature of the universe they could not just pick a star where they thought there was no life, as life there could just be especially good at hiding.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. At first I thought this made it through the actual release process.

I mean sure, the turn-around time is great...but how did this pass review in the first place? This should never happen in a reasonably managed project.

I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying. I realize my viewpoint on this topic was Very selfish. But that is why I pointed out that we all get to vote with our money.

It caught my eye that you said 'book' rather than 'books'. You might not be aware Three Body is part of a trilogy? If you've not read The Dark Forest and Death's End, you are in for a real treat.

I don't think The Martian and Three-Body should be compared. I think it's fair to say that The Martian is more 'hard sci-fi' in that the story is more grounded in what we know to be true. Three-Body has to invent some

I'm going to blame any communication breakdown on the fact that I know nothing about ReasonML or React-Reason. However, the point of having to store state so you have something to compare against strikes me as a really odd choice for

There very well could be something I'm not understanding. What you are describing still sounds like standard React.JS behavior. Unless you use a PureComponent, or explicitly implement your own `shouldComponentUpdate` method, then `sh

Rent control and difficulty of new development are problems that need to be addressed. However, AirBnB is absolutely part of the problem. The existence of multiple causes is no reason to dismiss an individual cause.
