All that really will matter is how the government and courts see it. Those words will be used in court.

I haven't played with nim for a few months, but only parameters with var will get mutated. I suspect you want to use someone else's cursed function and don't want to poison your blessed code

Hard to tell. We'd have to ping similar programs in order countries because there was massive depression on the value of the dollar than.
Re:$5000 per violation of price-gouging in CA on Saturday March 14, 2020 @12:18PM (#22576406)
Price gouging is the free speech equivalent of yelling fire in a full movie theater. You are harming people for your own enjoyment.

Strange. I've often see people with peanut allergies have alligeries to nuts like Almonds but not to Legumes like Chickpeas or Lentils.

Could you elaborate on how things get messy?
I find ECS a pretty intuitive concept, but it always ends up being a massive yak shave to me

Same reason most businesses that are generating wealth from employees are not employee owned?
Honestly things like phones and their networks should be built and maintained in their home nations

I actually don't get where you are going with this breakdown. Can you give me an example.
Re:Career advice I wish I’d been given when I was young on Wednesday May 01, 2019 @01:24AM (#19794743)
In bigger projectd and groups people need structure. If you're goal is provide success and structure for the people involved you can't let other people's lack of structure hurt everyone else. I think the "Kind of a Dick" is more of a cultural shock issue. You can be pleasant, but also blunt and honest about what needs to be done.

Re:Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-Skill Workers on Tuesday January 22, 2019 @12:00PM (#18969777)
Likely because money and wealth is a zero sum game. There is only so much land, food, and materials to go around.
They can't say things are copyright in perpetuity. It would validate Article 1 Section 8 Chapter 8 on the US Constitution

I think that individuals might have more likely personally survived the trauma of rape. So it more likely going to be an asshole thing to say.

It'd be like, "We're gonna smash the competition so hard they have PTSD." to room where 30% are Iraqi war vets likely insulting to some of them.

Re:Dark Energy May Be Incompatible with String Theory on Friday August 10, 2018 @10:11AM (#17733390)
Dark Energy is a misleading name I think. But the intent is literally what you described. Unexplained Phenomena which is acting like energy.
"If someone is the best jailer in the world would it not be reasonable to reward them?"

I mean if we're gonna bring up this anology we've gotta figure out what a "best failer in the world" even means? What is the value the jailer creates? How do define a high performance jailer over just a nominal performant jailer? If there is no extra value produced by the best jailer in the world then we are over paying the best jailer in the world.

Re:The Oldest Building in Every US State on Friday August 03, 2018 @10:27AM (#17680104)
So question. I always see statements like this online. And I sometimes wonder what is the point. Like it's a colony. The oldest structure are from societies that are all but dead. What's the value of statements like that?
Wait. How is this a catch 22? There is no. "In order to do Y you must first do X. But in order to do X you must first do Y"
There no real benefit to any of that though. The steam client already collects all the data they need for this.
I think you miss the point of the quote. He was basically telling the interviewer his question was stupid. Yes. In the 24th century they can grow hair on a bald man's head, but they're not gonna judge him if he doesn't. Just like no one gives a fuck if Van Diesel or Dwayne Johnson doesn't have haie.
Wait. So did you go to court or not?
Re:YouTube is still restricting and demonetizing LGBT videos on Wednesday June 06, 2018 @02:38PM (#17249816)
I think OPs jump in logic means if you can filter ads on sexual orientation then the same tooling can be use to attack protected classes.
