The story of Phineas Gage is a lot less common than that of a company undergoing routine changes in leadership, so it's a bit of a silly comparison.

Haha, sorry, I know my question was begging for that response. But even if you (and many others) appreciate tighter integration, others would appreciate the flexibility of being able to pick and choose what they like from emacs without bein

How does this fit in with the Unix philosophy?

What if you just want a stable row ordering, and don't care what that ordering is?

My guess is that it just applies a CSS filter on the entire page.

I guess humans, being the temporal creatures we are, have an easier time debugging procedural programs because they have a "story", an expected sequence of "events" (calls, reassignments, etc.), that naturally goes with

What about .gz.tar, in which all the files are gzipped, then tarballed? It seems like it would be a slightly fatter .zip file.

Yes, in the same way I'd argue for an abstinence-only education when it comes to repeatedly bashing your own head against the wall.

When your field of interest is the reals, those complex eigenvectors don't matter.

Not a very useful addition but hypercube is to cube as parallelotope is to parallelepiped.

As a person who just started university, I have to ask: how else do I get employers to not entirely ignore my application on account of "insufficient qualifications"?

Sorry, but can you please argue against your own devil's advocate, because I'm having a hard time coming up with counterpoints, and as a student currently in university, it's left me pretty depressed about my future. Cheating

Yes it's wrong - you go in to learn, you promise not to cheat, then you violate that promise, and fail to properly demonstrate that you have, in fact, learnt. That's pretty clearly immoral.

It wasn't YouTube's job to be the morality police, but much like Cloudflare, YouTube, entirely of its own volition, decided to take on the job, and now it's too late for them to backpedal.

I don't know how old you are and I don't want to make assumptions, but in high school and college, societies, school sports teams and friends all tend to use Facebook as their sole means of communication. As someone who refuses to

You severely overestimate the technical skill of the average user. And even people who know their way around computers rely heavily on patterns in order to identify relationships, so a strong pattern without an underlying relationship is, o

Interestingly, the match construct is an expression, which I don't think JavaScript has m/any of. Perhaps they could retroactively make if/else expressions, if that doesn't break back-compat.

For what it's worth, I don't get Jupyter notebooks either.

I don't disagree with your point, but it's very rude of you to dismiss developers who find coding fun as 'uninteresting'.

Ruby and Rust both let you have your own repository for packages, so that doesn't make much sense, and AFAICT Rust literally needs two lines of code to pull in a new package, so I can't exactly agree that it's painful. I don&

Yeah but then you just have these closed-source, buggy, imperfect algorithms run by private corporations instead. And some of those corporations have proven themselves to be very incompetent. Maybe if these numbers are fully gamified in ter

But the existence of high-cost private schools that, ostensibly, only the well-off can afford, already reinforces a "caste system" of sorts, no? I'm not sure how adding another dimension to this, namely social credit, could m
