I disagree. X is a useless letter in English; it’s always copying other letters or combinations of letters. Meanwhile, there’s a special rule where putting an ‘s’ and an ‘h’ together makes a different sound. Why not have a single letter for that?

One word: debiggenify

I just realized I don’t think I’ve ever seen arm hair on a black person.

But that’s the point. The Onion tries to write real-sounding headlines, and c/nottheonion is for real headlines that sound particularly unbelievable.

I’ve been each of these at some point.

This was not a case of “I agree with you, but…”, though. “But” is perfectly appropriate here to contrast between the first statement and the second.

It’s already a good pun. When two different newspapers combine, they often use a combination of their two names for the new organization, for example the Chicago Sun-Times and the Minnesota Star Tribune. So Sun Tribune looks like such a combination, but for a newspaper on the Sun it needn’t be.

Hmm… I admit I didn’t follow the video and who was speaking very well and didn’t notice hostility that others seem to pick up on. I’ve worked with plenty of people who turn childish when a technical discussion doesn’t go their way, and I’ve had the luxury of mostly ignoring them, I guess.

It sounded like he was asking for deeper specification than others were willing or able to provide. That’s a constant stalemate in software development. He’s right to push for better specs, but if there aren’t any then they have to work with what they’ve got.

My first response here was responding to the direct comparison of languages, which is kind of apples and oranges in this context, and I guess the languages involved aren’t even really the issue.

I think most people would agree with you, but that isn’t really the issue. Rather the question is where the threshold for rewriting in Rust vs maintaining in C lies. Rewriting in any language is costly and error-prone, so at what point do the benefits outweigh that cost and risk? For a legacy, battle-tested codebase (possibly one of the most widely tested codebases out there), the benefit is probably on the lower side.

My expectation is that a post’s score is upvotes minus downvotes, but I think it should be more like upvotes plus comments with downvotes excluded (or maybe let users filter based on upvote/downvote ratio or something). Maybe count commenters instead of comments.

Actually I have very fond memories of my family’s old Aerostar.

Just the one Falkland, actually.

I loved the controller except for the long pull on the shoulder buttons.

As a combination back- and side-sleeper, I’ve been considering trying to strap foam blocks to the side of my head so I can always get the right amount of support regardless of position.

No, this is Patrick.
