It's a popular strategy for Fascists.

the Nazis and the OG Fascists did it, and so did the communist Chinese.

So do the Democrats...

I hope they fix their system, but I have no idea how they could.

Have you seen a mathematician claim that? Because there's entire algebra they created just so it becomes a fraction.

And it denotes an operation that gives you that fraction in operational algebra...

Instead of making it clear that d is an operator, not a value, and thus the entire thing becomes an operator, physicists keep claiming that there's no fraction involved. I guess they like confusing people.

About the title; my condolences.

The hell of one idea that just won't die. It was created out of thin air by sheer force of racist speculation, and known to be wrong for close to a century. Yet people still keep repeating it.

Oh, excel is a bad tool. There's no argument about it.

Just look at the meme about dates somebody posted just around the same time as this. Excel has that kind of shit about everything. It does solve a good problem, but the tool is a piece of crap.

Lots of "maybe"s, I see...

On which of those application types there are developers that write most of one of the halves, but do not touch the other half?

(Oh, yeah, on the phone apps, but only the ones that are a web site cached on the phone.)

Fluorescence is a thing.

The problem here (despite using a giant laser on the least effective way possible) is that any kind of error correction can deal with your pulsing interference, and you are letting the drone get a bit too close.

The entire meme is about web-dev. That split between backend and frontend isn't anywhere else. (And is stupid for the web too, but well, that's what web-dev do.)

maybe that’s all the customer needs

The food truck is often better than the restaurant experience in every dimension... The same is valid for the app analogies.

How many people worked on it is not a dimension that counts.

It's a nicer syntax for inline styles.

If you want to use inline styles everywhere, it's great.

I guess some people write code, and some people also read and maintain it.

It was already around the peak of the US empire, yeah. You may be biased.

That excerpt does nothing even similar to claiming the definition makes things clear.

I have no idea what l is, but given the context of axiomatization of arithmetic, I'm almost sure the author picked a fair and precise example.

Yeah:

        parseInt("a") -> NoT a NuMbEr
  

it feels like electricity because it’s nearly instantaneous!

It takes hundreds of ms for a signal to go from your brain to your foot. Electricity on wires travels several times around the world in that time.

But for most of the distance the signals do travel as electricity. (At least the ones that get to be electricity, our brain has several kinds of signals.) It's just a particularly slow form of electricity.

The Javascript literal interpretation of NaN never fails to amuse me.

I don't think the US military complex consider that "less undesirable" than basically any other possible outcome.

... well, it may be better in their minds than an asteroid destroying Earth before they can cash-out. Maybe. I'm not sure about this one...

They just had the largest protest in their history, have a handful of cities under military intervention to stop the protests, and are close to elect somebody that promises to fight against the federal government as mayor of their largest city.

What exactly do you expect them to do?
