This is a very particular study. It is about relationship between coffee and heart disease, not coffee in general.

I drink coffee 3-4 times a month. No headaches.

I think this is normal for the supreme court, I've heard that they largely upheld abortion in the 1992 case because they thought it would be a mess to undo, even though they thought the original ruling was unconstitutional.

He answered it in the thread: Basically, the system has no opinion on that, but in his projects he will vouch anyone who introduces themselves like a normal human being when opening a PR.

He said that child pornography is funny? Do you have a link by any chance?

Sure sounds that way.

I envy your willingness to debate here. It's a pretty hostile place for a position you're defending.

Yeah, what a weird comment...

I wonder how do you not understand this was a joke. Did you not fully read it? Or it's just not obvious enough?

There's also this other thing he said: Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.

In my opinion, grandparents are the worst. They completely spoil them.

I guess you intentionally interact with them (because you like them, you share an interest), but you don't intentionally pretend to be something you are not (even though you know the other person would like that).

I see. Thanks for the feedback!

I have the same opinion. This is just a normal conversation. If I'm not doing this, I either want to rant to someone or I'm in a so hostile conversation that it doesn't make sense to do it.

Is the battery life better with Graphene?

Couldn't the same thing be said about functions that accept allocators?

Useful info. Thanks for sharing!

Well, for example, every function that allocates expects allocator as an argument, it is not abstracted away. Resource deallocation is not abstracted away, you have to explicitly free your resources. Ever function that uses IO expects it as an argument. It doesn't have operator overloading, which is also an abstraction.

It is a very explicit language.

Zig can also be annoying. For example, you cannot just ignore the return value, even in debug builds. Playing around with slices, c strings, arrays is also annoying in comparison to C.

I feel that way as well. When I'm thinking about what I like and dislike, it just makes me procrastinate and feel miserable. Life is much more enjoyable when I think about duties I have and how to fulfill them.

Heh, my wife was recently telling a story about how she taught our son how to run into a hug. She did not, I actually did, but I let her have it since she was so excited about it.

Maybe we should have no government, because they always have some information on us which can be abused

Well, of course not. We agree that some types of violence are okay, like police or military using violence for police and military things. I'm sure he wouldn't have posted that if people were cheering that a serial rapist has been shot by the police.

I really like your suggestions, even for non-rationalists.

Thanks for the context!

Exactly what I was trying to say. The example just doesn't click with me, because I would not put myself in such a situation. And if I did for some reason I actually think the rude response would be more appropriate, it might make me think about my irresponsible behavior and/or dirty manipulation I tried on the attendant.

I'm saying I cannot imagine such a situation. But lets say I didn't know the rules and I came to the attendant asking what to do because I lost a ticket. I would prefer just "You have to pay for the whole day", but if I had to choose between a rude attendant and an overly friendly attendant, I cannot say I have a preference. The first one is lashing out at me unnecessarily (maybe not so actually if the information is clearly available without asking him), the second one is trying to empathize with me even though I just want to solve my problem.

Can you give a different example? I also am of the opinion that I do not care for validation. The problem with the example you gave is that I just wouldn't whine about the ticket because it was my mistake.

To be honest, I forgot because it was quite some time ago. But I don't think we had any difficulties in that regard. I do remember being quite worried that it will not be good enough. In the time I started working on it, Mike sent a brutal email to a person trying to do PPC64 port (https://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/PPC64le-port-status,1).

I was a part of the team that contributed a few of the ports actually. For example, you can take a look at vm_mips64.dasc file header for the contributor list.

Though, it is possible that he changed his mind after having to review thousands of lines of assembly written by 25 year olds. :)
