    Jesus man, I'm in my early 20's and even I don't make sure to put my phone in my pocket just to go pick up the mail. What could possibly be so important that it couldn't wait a who…

    Technically speaking, yes. Even if it's neo-nazi propaganda, making any speech based on opinions that's not directly causing physical harm illegal is creating a class of thought cr…

    I've had the misfortune of listening to Fresco on a podcast, and he came right out and stated that 1. Humans don't have a capacity for reason 2. If reason existed it couldn't lead …

    This is a nice sentiment, but this rarely plays out in practice in my experience. People use Python all the time to manipulate data sets >= 100G in size despite its speed failings …

    Right, but Catholics don't know who are the saved. So, they pray to God and the saints for their ancestors because they might not be saved.

    You have access to all of std.range and std.algorithm, most of std.datetime, many functions in std.string and std.digest, and others scattered throughout the std lib. The main thin…

    People on embedded systems use a custom runtime, and people who want to avoid the GC use the compiler to disallow GC usage in their entire program by using the @nogc annotation. Th…

    You took Razengan's supposition and made it a certainty. Maybe making it easier for new users is what they were aiming for but it's equally likely with the evidence we have (read: …
