Thank you for addressing my concerns. I hope that you don't end up having to ban all political discussion permanently.
I get what you are doing - HN has been in eternal September mode for a while now. I'm not sure it will work but I hope it does I don't want to have to find a new message board. My question is what counts as political?…
Do different Unis in the US use different numbering schemes?
Does the "1" in "109" imply that this is a intro course?
Free speech means that you can say whatever you want without government persecution. You do not however have the right to dictate what individual people think or how they respond to what you say. So if the people doing…
Search online for "xelatex". It's latex for the 21st century.
I wish I could upvote this more than once. Anyway who is writing non-trivial documents in LaTeX will benefit from this.
Publishing the source like this is risk management for a company. By doing this they don't risk having to receive, vet and process 100's of requests for source at a random time - which could use up their legal…
Just click on the post you want to reply to's time next time...
Looking at this makes me wonder if there is IDE support for handling the way that Fortran does generic functions? So much boilerplate and repetition required...
> I realize that Fortran compilers have focused on optimizing traditional explicit loops and other imperative programming constructs. Nonetheless, I'd want to see benchmarks before concluding this is a lost cause.…
Personal attacks have no place here. Please do this elsewhere.
How is it easier to go in this direction?
It's UK English too. But not as common as cash machine/cash point/hole in the wall.
So would you suggest we should have a safe space where people have to listen to each other? I will defend people's right to say things I don't like hearing. However I will also defend other people's right to not listen…
Tizen gives Samsung options and means that they are not beholden to Google.
Sending unwanted emails - this is a great way to get added to spam filters... Do it to too many gmail users and no one will receive any of your emails.
OK cool. But by downvoting they are exercising free speech. (As an aside I tend to read downvoted comments first because I want to see why they were downvoted. It's more of a highlight than a downvote for me.)
You right to free speech does not include the right for others to disagree with you, for them to not listen to you, or even for them to not like you because of what you say - they are also exercising their own freedom…
But: 1. in most wars the soldiers are actually fighting a very small proportion of the time. They are eating, drinking and creating waste every day. 2. Those dehydrated rations will need to be rehydrated. So you need to…
Optimal for what?
But a policy of squashing prevents two people from working on the same feature (you shouldn't squash what you've already pushed as this changes history).
Python2 is stable. This is actually a major advantage in some applications.
In the UK the key is to make sure that the tenant is Assured Shorthold rather than Assured. Assured tenants can't be evicted (unless they don't pay rent or other similar reasons) and their rent can't be put up unless…
Letting someone have possession of property (yes tenants have possession) like this can be a dangerous thing to do in some jurisdictions - they can quickly gain rights to live there and you lose the rights to evict (or…
