Clearly, I meant evidence for saying that there's no shame in using XML.
cgvgffyv··on The strange effects of thinking healthy food is costlier
What if you eat packaged foods because you're too scared of making yourself sick because you've missed something very obvious while cooking that everyone else knows about?

Are there any YouTube videos of paranoid cooking? ie they'd teach where to look to see if you've screwed up etc.

Asking for a friend.

Well this is what happens when you let Americans market your video games.

Leave him be, he must've just learned all those words, and in the great tradition of average human discourse, put them together to form a grammatically coherent yet nonsensical utterance that nonetheless achieves its main objective, namely making him feel good about himself.

(See? I can do it too!)

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

On your part, that is.

You need to wait for another rewrite with a cute name for these.

The App Store reviews are appalling though. How can people be so incredibly entitled I couldn't possibly understand.
cgvgffyv··on First test of rival to Einstein’s gravity kills off dark matter
> What makes you think I stopped reading?

Well his complaints about the talk are after the "loon" bit, and you didn't say anything to the effect of, "well he called me a loon but did explain his position", so I figured.

cgvgffyv··on ARM extends HPC offering with acquisition of Allinea Software
Well, what else would they spend the coin for? So they could have bigger pizza parties?

Also compare word count.

cgvgffyv··on First test of rival to Einstein’s gravity kills off dark matter
I encourage you to not stop reading after he called you a loon. He dedicates a few paragraphs to explain what he feels is wrong with your talk.

Also read the comments, where he says:

I am watching the talk (final minutes now) and except for the history, meaning of interpretations etc., he actually understands QM more correctly than many people employed as physicists...

(The audacity! Someone that actually watches the thing they'll be bitching about!)

cgvgffyv··on Verizon Explores Lower Price or Even Exit from Yahoo Deal
That's silly, of course the deal will go through.

Verizon wants Yahoo on the cheap and somebody at Yahoo is helping.

C++? Preposterous.

QED.

cgvgffyv··on Xamarin for All
None? My understanding is they culled QA across the board with the release of Windows 10. Gotta move fast and break things.

Here's my single and childless (most likely forever) take on it, more like.
cgvgffyv··on The Queen and I
> What amazes me most is Americans. They (...) love the royals.

I was under the impression this was a meme pushed by right-wing, Murdoch-owned, pro-monarchy newspapers like The Daily Mail, The Sun and The Mirror.

Seems to be what all commenters above are focusing on though.

cgvgffyv··on How leaving a corporate job to join a startup fucked me up and sorted my life
I simply consider it polite to make an effort to speak English properly.

People have better things to do with their time than read over "quirks" in my writing.

In case it's not obvious, I'm a foreigner, too.

For what it's worth, I'm aware that the reason I'm generalising Indians is because there's more of them, so there will be more that can't write properly, and they will be more visible.

See StackOverflow as a prominent example.

From the perspective of your elected officials, apathy is agreement.

Regressive left?

I was taught the left represents progress and equality, whereas the right represents stagnation and oppression, and by God and wishful thinking I intend for this to never change!

Some Twitter rando is on the front page now saying he got MITM'd because he's too cool to believe in corrupted downloads.
