The existence of a solution to abstract equations that involve gravitons does not imply the existence of gravitons. Designing an experiment to measure and confirm the existence of …

I'm on a similar boat. The biggest change for me was to recognize that I'm not the one who's supposed to be doing the debugging. The more (modern) C++ I wrote, the more I found mys…

SQLite is the ultimate blackbox. Reliability beyond compare

This is a valid point. I don't really have a response to it other than, I know people like the one I asked y'all to imagine, but I'm having trouble thinking of anyone I know who mi…

Imagine you're a parent who happens upon a repo that uses the word "retard" as a replacement for "stupid person" or "idiot". You also happen to have a mentally disabled child. Perh…

This approach makes me happy. Interface is key.

And if she complains about being treated this way for being a woman, she wouldn't have your respect?

"The very notion of what’s appropriate for children looms over any consideration of a movie intended for children." This is the author's justification for why he's critiquing the f…

Excellent point, I just changed the license to MIT to be consistent with curl. Thanks for catching that.

I use C++11 and it's awesome. It's expressive like python but still maintains strict type safety. I built a (still young) curl wrapper using C++11: https://github.com/whoshuu/cpr E…

I find it curious that pain points is given the inner quotes treatment whenever the JP Morgan CEO uses that term. It's almost like such a concept didn't exist before startups start…

I think the Tragedy of the Commons is a more apt analogy. There's a finite resource (employees) which optimally benefits each company if they were non-competitive. As soon as they …

Brisket, breweries, and routers should never be mixed. The symbolism here is so disquieting.

Google has ad revenue sources that are not Youtube. Like you said, Youtube represents only a small part of its revenue stream, but this doesn't mean its revenue stream is not domin…

I don't think we disagree. If it's valid to point out she shouldn't have been engaging in any kind of relationship with a co-worker, then it's equally valid to point out the same t…

I think the point of the trial is to determine if what happened to Pao is "because she's a woman". If there's enough evidence for that claim, then there's a legal basis for recours…

Interpreting your comment charitably, you are exactly right that it would be simpler had this been the case. Another fact: it would also be simpler had she not been (allegedly) lie…

I don't think your analogy applies here. I'd liken the situation more to stealing a CD from a record store. The CD's are easily replaced, but you were caught and now you're serving…

It doesn't explain on the website, but how is this better than native notifications on iOS?

I don't think the existence of more books for git as opposed to svn proves that it is more difficult. I think it's more a reflection of how popular/accessible git is, and publishin…

I think you mean YC, not HN.

If it's easy, why use it as a filter?

The signature of greater is relevant because it has to conform to the interface for qsort. See the final argument of the interface here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/…
