Oh, then I misunderstood that too, yes. I read "mark of integrity" as being a strictly positive thing. Your edit looks good though.

It is usually free and kind of magical to talk to a lawyer, though.

What does `this` refer to in your comment? If "hiring his son," I don't think anybody is indicating that it is a mark of integrity or honesty.

It's absolutely a mistake and a lack of critical thinking to believe that any given father would go out of his way and put his own reputation at risk for his son. Some would. I don…

The only clueless judgment is one that doesn't ask for evidence.

Super cool! Like a simpler (not in a bad way) Universe Sandbox. I'm reminded of the astronomical-visualization app I created at the beginning of my career and abandoned. This makes…

I think it's available on Steam which would mean you could theoretically use it on Linux with Steam's Proton compatibility layer.

I don't write a lot of while loops so this is just a bit unfamiliar to me, but I'm not really understanding how this isn't the same as `do{block}while(condition);`? Could you give …

Being only in my 30s but also affected by a lot of usually-age-related disability has been a big struggle for me as a programmer. I don't know how typical it actually is, but I gue…

Did you reply to the wrong comment? I think asking questions is ideal. Even when I'm 99% sure a line is blatantly wrong, I will ask something like, "What is this for?". Maybe I mis…

That is a very good point! You'd have to be careful to craft the messaging so that it doesn't imply you can help troubleshoot the password manager. But something simple could work.…

> If it's actually better, others will start following your lead. Not really my experience in teams that create inconsistent, undocumented codebases... but you might get 1 or 2 con…

Totally agreed - a correctly used password manager is many, many times easier and faster to use than so-called magic links. It's not even a contest. I'd even say magic link emails …

> If you know you know And if you don't, you... don't deserve to know? > you're either wilfully ignorant or actively dishonest I think "willful ignorance" is a good description of …

I'm kind of confused by the question. Do you think an unverified commenter on a public website saying "all the stores in my town [not named] do X [but I didn't count]" is a type of…

I don't see how it's odd at all. The kinds of changes that would stabilize housing and make growth more sustainable would threaten the interests of many wealthy people, including p…

Still mostly anecdotal, but a better answer, and probably belongs higher up in the thread actually.

> Ah yes, increasing theft is just a fact of the "developed" world It seems like a pretty likely outcome of high population growth! > anyone that claims theft has increased is just…

Um... why exactly am I looking for a highly homogenous society?

> One could endlessly go on... Yet, apparently one will instead sidestep the discussion entirely. Frankly the more you've tried to answer the question the less you actually answer …

Of course that's the reasonable approach, but in reality the US gov't finds mind control useful, and wants to be able to exert influence over it, rather than allow a foreign gov't …

That line made me stop and think. At first I thought it was an exaggeration, but then I realized it was exactly true - however, I don't think the author understands it fully. If so…

For me it was not confusing; I don't think a newly discovered taxonomic Class would make mainstream news. I was expecting something higher-order and the discovery delivered!

You don't think a tool saving 10% of your time is worth learning to use?! Anyway, this gets off-track. The metric is (time wasted on problems that only exist without typing) / (tim…
