Let me restate in relative terms then. SQL is over twice as old as Git. When Git was originally released, SQL had been around for longer than Git has been today. Git has had a pretty good track record…

SQL is at least 30 years older than Git. Git has yet to prove its longevity in the same way.

Yeah, a great example is this presentation[1] about the Apollo guidance computer. The guy is really, really into it and it just makes the presentation amazing. [1] https://www.youtube.com…

Where the Rosetta stone would be if the British hadn't stolen it after the battle of Trafalgar.

Also technically they stole it from the French

I don't think anybody on /r/datahoarders believes it's possible for a private individual to archive the entirety of Youtube. More than 200,000 hours of video are uploaded every day…

Google owns most people's window to the internet: from the browser and sometimes even the operating system all the way to what sites they get to see, and even the content itself. Amazon handles m…

I don't think your comment has exposed any flaws in GPs point. The first point doesn't refute anything GP said. If Amazon, Google, Meta, etc, are natural monopolies like utilities, then have…

I thought they believed sex work is fundamentally sinful and that's why it should be banned. I guess we talked to different conservatives.

>After you have served your sentence, your name is clear and you are no longer considered a criminal. I don't think this is true. In reality it's more like "After you have served you…

Well, he is just a person. Under high level of stress, we all make bad decisions that lead to more drama. I can easily think of several worse ways he could have handled this -- at least he didn't…

In school I learned about inheritance, not composition. The usual: base "shape" class, then subclasses triangle, square, circle, etc. Then you can have a collection of "shape"s tha…

Not GP, but what bothers me is that this attitude does not take into account what most cpp programmers actually end up doing: Unless there's somebody at the top of the organization that can set t…

Yeah it's clear that was never going to work -- the whole point of dropping the old addons was making big architectural changes that weren't possible with the old APIs. You can't merge …

I don't think Microsoft has any incentives to protect users.

I don't get it, Firefox already exists and is a complete OSS reimplementation of everything Chrome does (and works better imo). Only thing to do is convince sites to test more on Firefox. This st…

I don't see how could they be. They are under the same constraints and have the same incentives.
comment
Yeah but I don't think you'll feel that you're both. You'll still feel like yourself, and the other will feel like another. You won't feel as though you have left anything b…

I am working on getting this project to compile. It's interesting in the sense that nobody in the documented history of the internet has ever ran into these specific errors. So I guess I'm g…

The flesh husk is you. You can't provably leave it behind without dying.

I'd put my money on the second one

I was under the impression that the Great Green Wall of Africa doesn't really exist at the moment, and that no project goals were ever reached.

Good thing we have the North Korean government and CP traders on our side, defending our rights.

What's wrong with Victorinox?
comment
That probably depends on your lawyer. If he's bad enough I'd guess you can get a penalty even if you didn't see any financial gain from the scheme.

Most people do, which is why this site will ban a user for being an asshole, but not for being incorrect.

What games can you play on an M1?

Or a vacuum that doesn't connect to the internet? Mine works just fine

Yeah it has all the beats of one of those old email humor chains that would get forwarded back in the day.
