Oops! The high density of comments criticizing capitalism made me misinterpret what you had said. My bad.
Do you believe we would be better off if we destroyed/prohibited all the technological innovations you mentioned in your comment? Stop for a moment and think about that. Then, read the article below:…
Copying with pentadactyl using Y shows exactly what has been copied on the status line at the bottom of the screen.
Is there something that prevents you from starting your own company?
He says he dislikes a private system but, at the same time, indirectly acknowledges that what makes the system at his district work is the fact that it is partly private. It is partly private because people actually…
*hate himself
I really don't understand what makes someone do something for 4 years that he or she clearly dislikes. He must hate his himself.
Humans will always figure out a way to combine the resources they have to generate additional value. It doesn't matter if these resources are wood, sand, oil, water, steel or software. In the example given above, the…
Seems like the big confusion about the controller is that it is closer to a ViewModel (think MVVM) than to a Controller itself. Potatos, Potahtos.
The bottom line is: everything that cannot be scientifically proved acquires this sort of "religous" attributes. No wonder religions and politics are like that
The cons mentioned in the article above aren't Ruby cons per se, they are shared by all dynamic languages.
It kinda sucks that you still have to declare an interface in order to pass functions around.
Do you guys know a productivity application that monitors app usage and keystrokes?
C#, the language, is not windows centric. The framework released by microsoft might be, but the language itself is decoupled from windows.
You shouldn't be proud of having 1 gazillion tests if all you do is rewrite/fix regressions on them.
Bottom line is: test code is code and you have to maintain it. If you write code that does not give you anything in return, or gives you more headaches than anything else, you wasted your time when you wrote it. When…
Exactly. The computer will just repeat what you tell it to do. There is the chance that you will tell it wrong (a bug in your test code), and the chance that what you told it is not true anymore. An automated test…
You can never actually guarantee anything even if you have tests. The tests will only increase the likelihood of catching regressions.
How many of those 17% are illegal immigrants? Do you have that data?
In other words: you have no _freedom_ to pick insurance yourself. The current system gives benefits to employers and not to individuals. I sincerely don't understand why people call it "free market".
I am sorry but the logic above could be applied to anything. "Part of the notion that suggests people should be forced into sharing those risks is that nobody can rationally rule out future unbounded <whatever>…
That's cause most of the people are insured and there is no pressure for lowering rates for the uninsured.
Individuals can opt into an insurance plan. That's sharing risk. What "society" (government) can do is force everyone to share THE SAME risks single-payer insurance == monopoly
Try explaining the concept of paper money (as it is currently used) to most people and they'll be very confused. But they still use it.
I second what you said. The article is too biased to be taken into account. That being said, I really would like to understand with more details what exactly happened to iceland. I remember I researched the subject in…
