The comment is not saying that prison will lower the risk of re-offending, but that it will lower the risk of impacting other people until the risk of re-offending falls suitably l…

Not what I said. I said to avoid /hand-optimizing/ code. Trying to write performant code is good. Some examples of advice on that front: - use an appropriate algorithm, and make su…

I agree with a lot of these bullets just as general design principles, and emphatic +1 to not hand-optimizing. Just noticed this comment after posting https://news.ycombinator.com/…

tl;dr: No, this is outdated, and please don't try to hand-optimize. This is outdated. It was true in 2013, but changed in 2014 ( https://codereview.chromium.org/416403002/ ; specif…

It's true that Confucian values talk about not self-injuring/damaging what parents gave to children --- their physical bodies etc. --- but pretty sure the abandonment of the long q…

Haha: "He developed a questionable reputation among the other members of the Mission..." Yes, I can see it, and this is very cool. Thank you very much!

You're quite welcome, glad it was interesting!

Just following up on the fascinating prospect you initiated. Which Russian missionaries translated which Chinese classics, since that you've already searched? I'm turning up Russia…

Agreed on all counts! "The Master said: 'Girls and inferior men are hard to get along with. If you get familiar with them, they lose their humility; if you are distant, they resent…

Was just a guess on a uniform prior :) If you have specific evidence of Chekhov referencing Confucius (the similarities are so striking that either he came up with them independent…

At a certain point, sure. There is, I suspect, an execution difference (which does not at all create mutual exclusivity) though. Have you read The Analects, out of curiosity? If so…

Agreed with treve, what does culture really mean? If you read ALL the literature, listen to ALL the music, view ALL the art, can recite ALL the history and do ALL the science... an…

"The Master said, 'The prosecution of learning may be compared to what may happen in raising a mound. If there want but one basket of earth to complete the work and I stop, the sto…

I'm struck by how much this echoes Confucius and the Analects and how they define the so-called gentleman or noble man (not to be confused with nobleman, and translation is hard). …

The earliest sounds that babies make tend to be "ma/muh" sounds, as they're smacking their lips to signal for food. Seems likely for language then to develop that sound into the wo…

Clearly! My points are straightforward, so perhaps you're reading more deeply than you need. I understand why you would say their language is passive aggressive though. It's been a…

1) Nope, just stating what I've seen time and time again to be the case/interpretation of your points. This might not be the case for you, but I do want to point out an alternate p…

You state yourself exactly the problem with this and many similar situations. "I may do injury to others, but they may not to me." From observation, many women are NOT OK with it. …

And you wouldn't mind if your so-called "primary" or "side" (how interesting to apply such terms for significant others) did the same to you? Because most people would, whether the…

It's certainly the case that conflicts will be difficult to resolve if one or both parties are not reasonable! Your comment also touches on something else, however, in terms of how…

I think the idea is that she should be excited that you're excited, and happy that you're happy, not necessarily that she should be excited by the very code you wrote. (That said, …

throwaway2719's main point also seems to be that for some people, sex is not just fun and games, but entails some sort of emotional closeness. If your position is that you should j…

True enough; I meant conditioned on the slant many of the comments were taking, which was certainly not made clear in my comment---apologies.
