  1. Low cost energy that stays on 24/7 at a low price is what a productive and export friendly state needs.

    Sure, it's not like those jerks in Europe export anything.

    Counterpoint: Introducing nazis into the discussion may not be the thread-winning strategy you think it is.

    The polls were BS because people were ashamed to admit who they were voting for.

    Well, the argument he's using is that the new Nafta deal is better for US to the tune of 1 Border Wall.
    A dubious claim, but no more than the idea that tax cuts for private jet owners qualify as "tax reform".

    If you squint and look sideways at it, it can appear that he kept his promises, and that's all Fox News needs to spin it to the maga-hats.

    Not true of iphones?

    shared library shenanigans that boost Edge performance.
    They will switch to Chromium, remove the shenanigans and we're back to zero.

    He's already given up on the coal miners. He's all in now on the border wall and the govt shutdown is the last chance of it possibly getting funded.

    Now, if I were Pelosi / Schumer, I might offer him the full $5B for the wall, in exchange for him releasing his tax returns. Because of course he wouldn't go for it, but the excuses would be pure gold.

    Sure but it affects farmers so we all need to immediately freak out.

    Yes we should force their talented developers to stay in India. That will show them who's boss.

  12. Don't let yourselves be burdened by the know-nothing western leftards.

    I also say we bring back whaling, let's just give it a try.. My parents whaled on me when I was a kid, and I turned out ok.

    It doesn't matter. It's never ok to be offensive or insensitive to a woman, online or offline, no matter what you think about them personally or about their politics.

    Except for that one fat slut, Stephanie.

  14. If anything Die Hard follows a Western formula. A town under siege by bad gunslingers, a single good gunslinger saving the day, even some cowboy references in the dialog.

    I can already see some stable genius out there using this study to defund parachutes in the military

  16. Having that many animals is a sure sign of mental illness

    It depends how rural vs urban you are. If have 7 dogs on a working cattle ranch, that's normal.
    Also if I happen to feed stray dogs when they come around my property, that makes me compassionate, not crazy.

  17. A good start to allow the working poor to get a new first home

    I hope you're not suggesting sub-prime mortgages. We barely survived that last time.

  18. I'm sure those are all dogs that she rescued, it's not like she picked them out at the mall. And anyway, 7 dogs are maybe $150-$200/mo, and that's starbucks money.

    But, in the most charitable gimme to the Never-Trumpers, the answer is "we don't know (AND NEITHER DO YOU!)"

    Mostly because he refuses to testify or show his taxes. Say what you want about HRC, but she testified every time she was asked to. 16 times for Benghazi alone.

    C, C++ and Rust can all be compiled to Webassembly. Whether or not it's a good idea to do so is another matter.

    Look, my point is that there is nothing special about Python that makes it more suitable to write C library bindings vs any other scripting language, and it might be old-fashioned to actually try to do that.

  24. Re:Why Python? on How Microsoft Embraced Python (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    That's because you're old. If you were a millennial you might know Node coders who compile C to Webassembly.
    Also PHP has inline C now, not that it's probably ever a good idea to use it.

    Asynchronous > multithreading, but you're right that Python sucks at concurrency.
