> They're really not. What's true is the experiences that led you to feel the way you do and the fact that you feel that way. But I didn't name a single experience or anecdote. The…

See my sibling comment. If there's so much examples of things going tilted against men in most western countries, shouldn't you say there's at least some common thread across them …

Aren't those generalities true though? Remember when those female talk show hosts laughed on live TV about a dudes' dick getting cut off by his partner? Or what about the ESA engin…

The problem is that when a 45yr old man dates a 25yr old girl all the women rabble and call him a pig, but when a woman will only date a man who 'can provide' its 'only natural'. Y…

It won't change because of tremendous legacy inertia. Everything from assembly to scripting languages are in Latin-English. All kernels are Latin-English. CS is taught around the g…

They will sign up voluntarily for a military that is decently funded (having to shout 'pew pew' in training because your training rounds have ran out is ridiculous.. and yes this i…

We've been largely winning against the sea since 1500, and that's with windmills and wheelbarrels of mud. Look up the Afsluitdijk. Or the Deltawerken. Our combined 'water defense w…

Yeah, the common sentiment is 'the best time to take action was 40 years ago. The absolute limit was 20 years ago. There's no stopping it now, even if we reduce our emissions to ze…

WhatsApp is the most used messager with 90%+ market penetration. It has more than a billion users globally. Snap is nowhere near that user base.

Those 'after me the deluge (French saying)' people are the worst. Same as rich people fucking up the globe but massively buying 'escape hatches' in New Zealand. If you're that kind…

You can install Gnome Sushi to have that in Linux.

Sorry but that's just blatant lying. Apple takes great care of optimizing its OS and apps for its hardware, to the point where it's possible to use Final Cut Pro on the anemic MacB…

So does Linux. Before I had a MacBook I tried Ubuntu on my PC twice (this is back in 2007 and another time in 2011) and both times an upgrade made Ubuntu unbootable(!). These days …

That's your Homebrew bash..

http://eclecticist.co.uk/notes/appledesign/images/image12.jp... That's all I need to say about that. As for the reasons.. Devs want a POSIX (macOS, Linux or BSD) system because man…

That's primarily because gun bans or gun control are a net benefit whilst letting your poor and old starve is a net negative.

Or just use an iPhone. The amount of marketshare Apple would lose if there was even a hint of a US-intelligence backdoor in their systems keeps them with a very, very vested intere…

For Apple it won't matter since apps are heavily sandboxed and can only pass eachother data through predefined APIs. Jailbroken phones are another can of worms though, since you're…

My point is you don't need to, even running a shell that's 10 years old :)

Output from `bash --version` on macOS: `GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin16) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.` that's a 10yr old bash and th…

That's just part of the daily coding jargon. Call it a pet peeve, but it frustrates me intensely when everyone calls their defaults 'sane' (implying others their defaults are not).…

I'm not exactly a Trump fan, but why is Clinton's daughter rolling into a $600.000 job at NBC straight out of college not considered 'bribing close friends for political favor'? Th…

That's patently false. Good luck enforcing US business law in Norway.

Your method also only works if you have a small social circle or don't go out much. Good luck planning a big party or trip without a Whatsapp/Telegram/Facebook group chat..
