All that really will matter is how the government and courts see it. Those words will be used in court.

Closer to two thousand years ago. That's how far removed it is.
jrhurst··on Nim 1.2
I haven't played with nim for a few months, but only parameters with var will get mutated. I suspect you want to use someone else's cursed function and don't want to poison your blessed code
jrhurst··on What If Andrew Yang Was Right?
Hard to tell. We'd have to ping similar programs in order countries because there was massive depression on the value of the dollar than.
jrhurst··on $5000 per violation of price-gouging in CA
Price gouging is the free speech equivalent of yelling fire in a full movie theater. You are harming people for your own enjoyment.

jrhurst··on Most Unit Testing Is Waste (2014) [pdf]
I actually don't get where you are going with this breakdown. Can you give me an example.
jrhurst··on Career advice I wish I’d been given when I was young
In bigger projectd and groups people need structure. If you're goal is provide success and structure for the people involved you can't let other people's lack of structure hurt everyone else. I think the "Kind of a Dick" is more of a cultural shock issue. You can be pleasant, but also blunt and honest about what needs to be done.
jrhurst··on The Last POWER1 CPU on Mars Is Dead
Speed relative to what?
jrhurst··on Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-Skill Workers
Likely because money and wealth is a zero sum game. There is only so much land, food, and materials to go around.
jrhurst··on For First Time in More Than 20 Years, Copyrighted Works Will Enter Public Domain
They can't say things are copyright in perpetuity. It would validate Article 1 Section 8 Chapter 8 on the US Constitution
jrhurst··on Google's 'two-tier' workforce training document
Obviously you got to be quite and not complain and then magically fix the laws. Quitely. Shhh.
jrhurst··on Why a Pterosaur Is Not a Dinosaur
What is the scientific definition of a vegetable?
jrhurst··on The Story of Why I Left Riot Games
I think that individuals might have more likely personally survived the trauma of rape. So it more likely going to be an asshole thing to say.

It'd be like, "We're gonna smash the competition so hard they have PTSD." to room where 30% are Iraqi war vets likely insulting to some of them.

I've been doing my Vulkano learning on a mac about half of the time. MoltenVK makes it good enough to get things going.
jrhurst··on Dark Energy May Be Incompatible with String Theory
Dark Energy is a misleading name I think. But the intent is literally what you described. Unexplained Phenomena which is acting like energy.
jrhurst··on How Companies Make Millions Charging Prisoners to Send an Email
"If someone is the best jailer in the world would it not be reasonable to reward them?"

I mean if we're gonna bring up this anology we've gotta figure out what a "best failer in the world" even means? What is the value the jailer creates? How do define a high performance jailer over just a nominal performant jailer? If there is no extra value produced by the best jailer in the world then we are over paying the best jailer in the world.

jrhurst··on The Oldest Building in Every US State
So question. I always see statements like this online. And I sometimes wonder what is the point. Like it's a colony. The oldest structure are from societies that are all but dead. What's the value of statements like that?
jrhurst··on Hackers Breached Virginia Bank Twice in Eight Months, Stole $2.4M

jrhurst··on Is the Age-Old Quest for a Baldness Cure Reaching Its End?
I think you miss the point of the quote. He was basically telling the interviewer his question was stupid. Yes. In the 24th century they can grow hair on a bald man's head, but they're not gonna judge him if he doesn't. Just like no one gives a fuck if Van Diesel or Dwayne Johnson doesn't have haie.

Wait. So did you go to court or not?
jrhurst··on YouTube is still restricting and demonetizing LGBT videos
I think OPs jump in logic means if you can filter ads on sexual orientation then the same tooling can be use to attack protected classes.
