    Who is using them successfully and what _are_ the great new products? Examples, please. It's easy to prove your point if it's true.

    What people? What is the definition of success? You can't appeal to something happening in the real world if you don't say what you mean. You can paint up any world you like in you…

    The half time show did, however violate the letter of the rulebook. There is a maximum duration for half time breaks, which was exceeded easily.

    Co-ops or democracies are the only type of organization that has some resistance to power hungry conmen.

    Human developers generally don't autocomplete.

    It's not. It's a cargo cult developer that produces more code than you can review and confidently pushes bugs to prod.

    I do. The only thing I need dynamic allocations for is queues of asynchronous events, and that's just because I'm too lazy to calculate an upper bound for how many there may be.

    The lesson is: write your own code, it's not that hard.

    Do you feel this way about everything? What about pre-moderating CSAM? Clearly some things are harmful enough that they should be banned.

    Do you serve the instance on the public internet or on a VPN? I've been thinking about self-hosting myself, but for my purposes (open source), I'm worries about scrapers and other …

    Well, that's a good thing. Being "neutral" _is_ taking a side. It means you're taking an amoral stance even in big questions. Every organization has a stance. We're just become use…

    I've also had terrible performance with Eigen when compared to LAPACK. Would not recommend unless you want to spend time profiling performance issues.

    "You people"? Is your paranoia getting to you? 20% is an interesting number, though. The percentage of Palestinians who were Arabs in 1918 was around 90%. I wonder if that might ha…

    I'm going to need some more basis than that. Otherwise this is just the good old "Anyone who criticizes Israel is Hamas" trope.

    Ah, yes. So if Piker, when looking at the Houthi/Israel dichotomy, is more sympathetic to the Houthis, that means he adopts all of their positions? That doesn't follow. Not even a …

    By Palestinian Mizrahi, I mean Mizrahi who are culturally Palestinian. Who have some ties to Palestine. Someone you could call native.

    I didn't realize silicon valley was full of software cowboys. Well, I suppose that matches the "move fast and break things" credo. lol.

    I just gave you an example. How can you say it is "very clearly not true". You would have to somehow disprove the reality of what has already happened in order to make that stateme…

    For me, the only one who has ever used the standard terms as a floor has been the employer. The union has always backed me up when I wanted higher pay. I'll give an example. I've h…

    Real wages are higher in every EU country with strong unions.

    Those legal protections are easily eroded without unions. Just look at Finland. Here, the current government first made it illegal for unions to strike when the government takes ac…

    Was this in the US? In the US, anti-union action by the government and employers has been extra egregious historically. This has obviously impacted unions in the US. There's also L…

    Not really. The goal posts have not moved since the beginning. I'm still claiming the same thing, and the definitions are the same. How about you read the wikipedia article on publ…
