Um, no. Past generations didn't have sneakers, t-shirts, jeans, or video games, and social security is at an all-time low (at least in the US).

Dads in the past were remarkably shitty and it isn't really even clear why.

Nope, wrong on all counts. You need to delete stale issues, it's no good having an endless backlog of someone's nice-to-haves that they no longer even care about.

And, the "whole idea" of logging issues is not to see how long they are open for... it's to, you know, log issues, because they can't be fixed instantaneously. Measuring how long they are open for is just a pointy-haired boss side effect, because those are the kind of idiots that would think that kind of metric means anything.

Genocide is by definition against a group having common genetic/ethnic identity.

One might also consider that animals are people, too.

However, I don't think you can make the case that Disney set out to wipe lemmings from the earthwe.

You can camp for free on national parks and most state parks as well. So I'm wondering what exactly OP is going on about unless being super edgy.

> Freecamping in Europe has shown me as an American that America is not nearly as free as we were taught to think.

Would you mind explaining further?

The brick house with the faux shutters is also using faux lintels -- the bricks are vertical but since there is no overlap and no arch they are providing no structural support.

If Wall Street is not to blame for "business cycles", why are you against bailouts?

There's no such thing as sound money, it's always being manipulated. This is by design.

If `git status` is literally taking 30 seconds to run, it's not because you checked in your vendor dir lol.

Seriously, version control systems are specifically built to handle that kind of thing. You're mistaken as to the cause of your perceived slowdown.

Never say never, either. You don't know my life.

No, it is though, because other package managers are not daemons and they don't have this problem.

Hold on, this China?

Gee, I wonder where the "government can't execute" meme could have possibly come from?

Ok bucko-

First of all, motors exist that can support more than 220 pounds, Mr. "Engineering Discussion". The conversation was absolutely not about engineering when I entered -- it was about how unhealthy anyone who weighed more than 220 pounds was -- implying they are not worth as much and/or don't deserve to have Segways. All of these sentiments were being upvoted, which means HN at large supports them.

This is bigotry, and you are even now supporting and defending it.

I'm not sure you understand how dog whistling works--the term isn't used to "rile up bigotry". In fact, it's used to call it out. You provided a classic example. You're more than happy to shit on "heavy" people, but you get upset when somebody exposes you as actually hating "fat" people. This is just like racists who openly hate on "immigrants" but will deny they have a problem with "mexicans" until they're blue in the face.

I never called anyone an idiot; how dare you lie about me. As for "direct insults", I'm not doing anything the rest of HN doesn't already do. For example, StavrosK and the guy who doesn't seem to understand resource sharing are both obliquely implying I'm an idiot quite overtly; you seem A-OK with that.

What's the source of the hypocrisy? Do you get something from bullying me, or have you somehow identified me as a low-status individual who it's ok to shit on?

I'm not interested in talking to you any further, you seem to have some moral superiority complex that results in you doing logical backflips to justify your behavior and vilify mine. I guess I'm not part of the popular crowd here -- but I'm not violating the guidelines any more than anyone else and I don't appreciate your abuse.

and yet you still managed to misunderstand the point :)

Who's to say not doing type coercion isn't weird? Every dynamic language treats things slightly differently.

Thank you for illustrating my point. All of the dynamic languages made different decisions on how to handle type conflicts, there simply is no right or wrong answer.

Oh, and JavaScript is single-threaded. It's impossible to share resources in a single process.

every dynamically-typed language has "weird" behaviour around type coercion, that's simply the nature of the beast.

sure wish i knew what you are talking about w/r/t "silently failing". JS has working exceptions just like 99% of widely used languages.

I'm very glad that you've been omniscient enough to determine what "proper" parallel support is, though. How's that working out for you? Meanwhile, those of us using JavaScript simply run one process per core and never worry about contention, deadlocks, or race conditions.

Well that's cool, I guess HN isn't above some good old-fashioned fat-hate.

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's not like he did a study. There are plenty of modern day white knights who will happily proclaim women to be the better sex and we don't give them any credence.

Nice "No true Scotsman" you got there.

Everybody says that. Especially when they aren't doing so good at profit.

Even if your numbers meant anything (they don't) what's your point? It's ok to discriminate against unhealthy people?

If you're going to flog your pet project repeatedly, you should at least provide a substantive response around it. This comment provides no value. It's just an ad.

explain?

That's an extension. It doesn't come with PHP (not "out of the box").

HighCharts for paid, Chart.js for open source.

You know, HN could really do without the person who constantly tells everyone how well-off we all are. Learn economics. And then hold your tongue next time.

Well, 741 million, I don't believe the road network figures were restricted to EU members only.

I wonder if you're referring to what's described in the first section of this article: http://www.onestopenglish.com/grammar/grammar-reference/amer...

As a lifelong American, I don't think that this is 100% widespread, many of the supposed Americanisms sound borderline "wrong" to me, and the only one I would favor is "She just left" instead of "She's just left".

And, having a German family history myself, I have trouble seeing this as a particularly German phenomenon.

I've already seen the acronym expressed as FAAMG, which is probably more accurate to start with; Netflix has great performance but is nowhere near the market cap of the other companies.

All the young people I know are frittering away their evenings and weekends drinking and going to festivals. The idea that they are poring studiously over some machine learning textbook is pretty laughable.

Remote jobs can be tough too. It's hard to get paid what you're worth, and you have to do extra work to be visible to the non-remote employees so that you aren't perceived as the guy who does 2 hours of real work while wearing pajamas.

I thought I had the perfect remote gig a little while ago, but the organization was so insipid and backwards that I had to leave. I found a job that's perfect for me and is a short commute and enjoy it way better.
