I didn't see anything in the manual about streams. If they do, I'm sure they'll be fine as long as you don't cross them.

I'm surprised at how many people are responding negatively to software that improves user experience. Suppose we had started out with the command UI that gitless has and someone came along and tried to sell us the current git cli UI. I

They are not paying $250k per employee. You have to factor in payroll taxes, paying accountants to keep books and CPAs to do taxes, benefits, and a multitude of other regulation-imposed payroll costs. All of this is to support salaries of a

It's amazing how many people didn't actually read all 4 parts of the article. His argument has nothing to do with caching or prefetching, etc. First, it's about random access. You can't prefetch a random fetch! Second,

How would increased taxes and mandatory benefits reduce the cost of employees? Increased employee costs make an employer less likely to take risks and produce pressure to hire less workers. Then a few workers gain at the expense of others n

This is why there needs to be less taxes and mandatory benefits. Counter-intuitively, these things work together to reduce the number of jobs and reduce worker flexibility and happiness.

Programming is done in code for the same reason mathematics is done in notation, for specificity. Doing programming in plain English would be just as cumbersome as doing math in plain English. I don't think anyone can quite fully imagi

I don't buy it. Another study showed a net loss: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140416/04183626928/paten... It's humorous that they trot out the definition of innovation: "make changes in

If only people learned history. Look at the comprehensive list of hyperinflations in modern history. Every single one happened under leftist rule of the country [1]. Look at Venezuela, Cuba or any other very leftist state. There's alwa

The biggest problem is intellectual property. Copyright lasts life + 70 years and patents last 20 years. That's a long time to have a legal monopoly on something, and is partly why companies are so big and can behave so badly. Innovati

Someone said something that I disagree with! The horror! The outrage! It should be illegal! That's one of the biggest problems with society today. People need to learn to grow up.

Git is to GitHub as JavaScript is to Java. Though their names are similar they are very different things.

Hong Kong has become a Special Administrative Region of China and has it's own justice, education, and political system (mostly). I think it would be a great idea to have several of these regions across the us to "beta test"

One of the best ways to increase prosperity for everyone is to make living more efficient/affordable. Look at the average American budget from 2013[0]. The top of the list is housing. Figure out how to make housing cheaper and more res

I'm curious as to why anyone would think economics could only be zero sum. How would they explain going from mud huts to skyscrapers and animals to aircraft? Such a "simulation" would not account for this obvious reality.

I have a dream where people are judged by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin. Seriously. I'm tired of these people focusing only on skin color. Why don't we let it go, forget about skin color, and li
