The leadership of YCombinator hates Jews, and tacitly encourages this type of discussion. You'll never see moderator @dang delete this stuff.

Note that @dang, the "moderator", who will instantly jump in and shadowban people who say anything that's not "progressive" will approve of complete lies like the one above. I gues…

Exactly right: OpenCV is the worst. And lots of trouble with Python 2 and 3 things that "just work" on Windows. I guess people don't do a lot of "real development" on Macs -- aroun…

Looks like it did what it's supposed to do! I'm very excited about the Subsystem for Linux. It will make Windows a great all-purpose development system. As it is, I have an easier …

Making fun of Windows is "witty?" I thought this was a more serious forum.

I spent a long time learning XSL/XSLT. The theory was we'd represent the data on a web page with XML, and then determine how it's to be displayed with XSL/XSLT. I think browsers st…

Dang tells me that "joke" answers that don't add to the conversation aren't welcome.

Windows 10 has a built-in antivirus that's very effective, safe, and doesn't impact system usability. There's little reason for anyone on Windows 10 to run Symantec/Norton.

Given the real risk of CRIME attacks, are there "compression aware" encryption algorithms?

This is much ado about nothing, as a famous Brit once said. The UK could also become a monarchy again, or it could try to invade France. This is crazy agenda-driven speculation tha…

I don't understand why he accosted that woman at the ATM next to him. 1. I would be very suspicious of anyone approaching me at at ATM, especially at a major tourist area. There's …

It doesn't really "cap it". It can go up 2% a year, and does!

Property taxes are not "low". Even under Prop 13, they go up 2% a year. California's property taxes are about median for the nation. It has the absolute highest income tax (for inc…

Yeah, but they apologized in German.

IMHO: 1. C# (Using Microsoft tools) 2. Erlang (Very robust, solid language) 3. Python (Lots of users, good tools.)

How about a symbol that means "Trigger Warning?"

It reminds me of the Yip Harburg song: Napoleon's a pastry Bismarck is a herring Alexander's a crème de cacao mixed with rum And Herbie Hoover is a vacuum Columbus is a circle and …

I find I never need them in Functional Languages, but still use them in procedural languages, like C#.

Are there more dwarfs on Manhattan and Long Island? It doesn't seem like it.

I don't know. A lot of fast food tastes good. Like a fresh McDonald's plain hamburger which doesn't have any MSG or gratuitous fats or oil. And it's "principle."
