    Say they don't. If they can't afford to buy their own house, now those people no longer have a place to live. How is that better?

    His two previous impeachments don't seem to have slowed him down, so it seems unlikely that a third would be any different. Not to mention his felony conviction.

    I can't say as I'm not familiar with Preact signals, but I do know the Angular team brought on the author of SolidJS to implement signals in Angular. Though I think I remember read…

    A good name for that could be "pragmatic perfectionism". Has a nice little alliteration and everything

    I did the same and had the same suspicion. If that's actually the case, the ideas and the writing don't change, but it changes how you feel about it doesn't it? Which brings up som…

    Damn, not only is this great wisdom but your writing is honestly beautiful... Are you a writer by any chance?

    Any reason you're using CSV instead of parquet?

    Just barely. Had the military been just a bit more indoctrinated, they may have started shooting. Which, as far as I understand, were the instructions they received. If nothing els…

    While it's true that there are U.S. states where it's illegal, there are many places (maybe most?) where it's not. Presumably due to the fact that it's near impossible to prove in …

    I think you misunderstood the parent comment. The first part reads as if you're replying to a different comment, I don't see how you could come to that conclusion based on what was…

    Scrolling down, I see that they apparently also sell hoodies for $130USD (not including tax and shipping). Literal insanity

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic, considering the link you provided has a chart showing the progressive debasement of roman currency, but they definitely had inflation. https://e…

    Honestly. They want to earn back people's trust, so they figure the best way to do that is with good ol' gaslighting. Thing is, it'll probably work. At least to some extent. The ir…

    Seems like you're implying that harmful stereotypes either: don't exist, aren't actually harmful, or are the "truth"? If, when given the text "[MASK] is a female job", a language m…

    Something like ge-tracker? I always thought it sounded fun to work on something like that, but also a ton of work for a game I'd probably be bored with way before I'd be able to fi…

    Arrays aren't just used for counting though. For example, the origin in cartesian coordinates is "0,0" and not "1,1". Not to say that I disagree, I don't think I've come across a s…

    Is it? If you're doing low-level stuff maybe, but I really haven't done much of that so I'm not even sure I know what you mean by "extending" an array (presumably has something to …

    I wonder if it has something to do with a cultural perception of how life and the world in general is perceived. As in, "He's currently experiencing his first year of life" vs. "He…
