Discussing improved hurricane protections is shifting the conversation to addressing symptoms rather than root causes. The conversation thread starts with the assertion that the US…

Obama’s “War on Coal”: https://time.com/2806697/obama-epa-coal-carbon/ Trump ran on and has tried to revitalize the coal industry: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-1…

Thanks for the detailed reply. There’s lots here I had not considered. I’ve realized my overloading implementations have been rather simple cases.

Why do you think function overloading is messy?

To me, the fundamental issue isn't that CSS is hard, it's that CSS is just not interesting.

AMP has always and will always be a garbage idea. Stop implementing AMP.

I had already forgotten about the Trump administration's attempt to slash the ARC. That would have been a huge economic hit to Appalachia.

There's something you don't understand about Kentucky: The huge economic divide between Eastern Kentucky (Appalachia) and the rest of the state. Appalachia clings to being a coal b…

> What does that have to do with the article? I'm from this area of Kentucky and the fact that it went for Trump has everything to do with the subject. I'm 36 now, and coal has bee…

I will say your take is reasonable, but on projects I manage I still push for usage of const/enum in these cases.

It sounds like you really just disagree with the example given, not necessarily the rule itself. You're arguing that `isAdmin()` might require a different implementation in a diffe…

I can understand why you say Three-Body has a rather traditional solution, but I would argue said solution is misdirection. The first book is really just setting up the real meat o…

Invading our Solar System was worth the risk for Tri-Solaris. Because of the Dark Forest nature of the universe they could not just pick a star where they thought there was no life…

Ah, thanks for the clarification. At first I thought this made it through the actual release process.

I mean sure, the turn-around time is great...but how did this pass review in the first place? This should never happen in a reasonably managed project.

I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying. I realize my viewpoint on this topic was Very selfish. But that is why I pointed out that we all get to vote with our money.

I can understand how having a touchscreen helps with mobile development, but I have no use for touchscreen functionality in my development. I don't have a desire for my macbook to …

It caught my eye that you said 'book' rather than 'books'. You might not be aware Three Body is part of a trilogy? If you've not read The Dark Forest and Death's End, you are in fo…

I don't think The Martian and Three-Body should be compared. I think it's fair to say that The Martian is more 'hard sci-fi' in that the story is more grounded in what we know to b…
