It's not about being a cheapskate, it's about taking the path of least resistance. Why would you pay for something you can get """for free""" and faster? I pay for the services I w…

Yeah, that sounds really weird to me, in france I went to school alone starting at 7 years old (although it was on foot and really close by), then using public transportation at 10…

It does include it, actually. The cost breakdown is not totally clear when you have not seen the bill yet, but,it's not too difficult. They list the ARMv7 board C1 as €3/month. It …

If it does not affect corporate email, it does not have real world implications?

>And federation is possible over XMPP with Signal: https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ That article does not say this. In fact, it more or less has the opposite meanin…

Would you mind to expand your point of view and provide evidence? Are you perhaps referring to the cliqz experiment that was ran for less than 1% of german firefox downloads? Are y…

So, nothing will change then? "Vote with your wallet" doesn't work, and never has.

Why? I'm not saying go is a bad language at all, it has a lot of good points, as outlined in the source of this discussion. It is however not a perfect language and as such, it nev…

Actually, the mistake is mine, I meant to write golint (but too late to edit). I have no issue with gofmt. As for golint, https://github.com/golang/lint/pull/100 is the kind of thi…

I can agree with most of the article, but for some it looks like we have not been using the same language ecosystem at all. Go really feels opinionated around the wrong things, in …

The title is surprisingly not too clickbaity, although it's not as clear-cut: in order to reduce false positives (increase precision), they need to limit the number of positives (r…

It isn't a question of validity, but rather a semantic dispute as the US spectrum has shifted to the right quite a bit during the last half of a century (it’s quite easy to see rem…

I can't help but gasp at how tragically the american political spectrum is skewed. I mean, looking at it from europe, breitbart is "crazed right wing extremists", obama is center-r…

Being called a communist by US conservatives isn't really something worthy of notice, as anything that goes against them is called as such. That said, with the polarization of poli…

A flat tax rate is not a good idea whatsoever; if you tax e.g. 20% of earnings ,do you believe people who earn $30k a year are impacted the same way as people earning $200k or more…

It means that if you have a data structure that is represented by a tuple, you can switch the creation call with a namedtuple of the same size, keeping the tuple API, therefore not…

I can't laugh at that line anymore because I found out that https://www.drinksmartwater.com/ existed

If I understand your reply correctly, you mean to say that it's acceptable to be a total douchebag as long as you are "talented"?

As a carry-on? You'll never get past security with that.

That's kind of a moot point when your browser handles most of your online interactions (and therefore a good chunk of your online identity, which is quite valuable to most people).…

I mostly agree with your comment, but "fragile build materials(glass over plastic)" is weird to me, glass is much more pleasant to touch than plastic, and while it may shatter (whi…

"test" < 1 is a TypeError in python3, and it works in python2 (returns False), it is part of the pitfalls of porting code to python 3.

a = "test" if a

You seem to imply that some people are fighting for discrimination between workers and non-workers. This is a weird point of view because most people fighting for worker rights are…
