I turned off syntax highlighting long ago. You may find you don't need it. You either understand the code or you don't.

Ignoring the massive infrastructural costs and practicalities, but given the efficiency losses of the wireless-charging freeway idea, what would be the benefit of putting solar panels above the freeway and chargers underneath, over just hav

Surprisingly exactly what the title makes it sound like. Very cool!

I appreciate the well-thought-out counter perspective. Do you still live in Russia and do you still feel the same way? If you had to put yourself into the shoes of a US voter, how would you feel?

I'd go so far as to not only agree with your assertions of the best points of Rails, but to also extend your skepticism of the excellence of Rails' templating to calling that the worst part of Rails. Of course, one can use Rails

More money for UBI is necessarily less potentially available money for the forest service.

Finally someone who sways me. I agree. I do advocate at least modicum of empiricism and caution, an approach of testing ideas on city level before country.

That's exactly what I'd like to see. The problem with UBI is it's not that. There's room for more than one social program in dire circumstances, but ideally we should have a social structure which incentivizes doing goo

You're very much missing the point. There are lots of jobs that used to exist that are no longer viable. This happens. The fact that people are unemployed is a separate issue from any given job no longer being viable. And yet there

See: "And if people lament losing a particular job and having to pick up a new one, well, sorry but that's reality. I could just as soon lament not getting paid to doodle cartoons."

You're missing the point. There's room for social programs to get these things done, but UBI for nothing isn't a good idea.

I'm just saying they should still have something to do. There's plenty that needs to be done.

Be realistic about point a). And for point b), it's always truck drivers brought up in these instances. Yes, think of the poor truck drivers. I'm sure they love doing a dull job. If a job is replaceable by machines, it's no

We don't necessarily need to teach more-advanced math, but rather more proofs.

I'm absolutely not saying this is an easy problem. I also agree with your last point. I'm being idealistic, I know, but I'm cautious about accepting any proposed solution. I definitely see the merit in comparing the US to E

That's still time opportunity cost for the student and merely shifts the financial burden. I'm not against a liberal education for the betterment of the person, but it's not a sound investment. We should not aim to make colle

In spite of what you see on TV, it's not up to a victim to decide whether or not to press criminal charges in the end. That's up to the attorney general usually.

It's great that this was part of an assignment. Git is a fantastic, incredible tool. Along with testing, it's one of the skills I figure is just as important as the things you learn in university, but which typically isn't

I think Rails does a pretty good job of making well-documented sense. Lots of crappy gems abuse things like implicit global variables, rewriting core methods, and other monstrous applications of metaprogramming.
24.
by ooqr 9y ago
The problem as I see it is when metaprogramming is used laterally or vertically. If code at a higher scope changes code at a lower scope, this makes a lot more sense than the arbitrary and profane directions of mutability that Ruby allows.

Fair point about my word choice. I just think we can do better is what I mean. I think I agree with you, but I'd need to see it in action. Currently I just use workspaces for whatever I'd use stacking for.

I've used Amethyst day-to-day on my work laptop for several months and overall I'm happy with it. It's a bit idiosyncratic, but that's more the fault of Apple for not making it easy to develop such a plugin. It's s

This would be a pretty nerve-wracking position for an employee. Sometimes it takes a long time to hunt down a single-line change to the code to fix a bug.

That's exactly why I liked Brave New World more: it's our own vices that do us in.

Agreed. Zoom in on subgraphs for nodes which represent complex topics in their own right.

I find the most valuable point is the last: whereas, sure, you can go on wikipedia and find dependencies of an area of knowledge, that three of prerequisites makes more sense to be presented as a flow converging on a point, rather than hav
