>I'm glad you are finally catching up to the rest of the developed world.

What fraction of the developed world had gay marriage, at what time, such that this statement makes sense?

I mean, Massachusetts legalized gay marriage in, what, 2003?
oh come on, you understood the "eating an elephant" reference, but you don't understand "gay indian restaurant", you will make me cry! What a brute!
He says 9 pounds for two pints. £4.50 a pint sounds about right for London.
I respect Scalia as a scholar and philosopher. But I couldn't find anything in his dissent that couldn't equally apply to desegregation.
It should be restricted by age, but even when I don't agree with you on that point, I don't understand the downvotes (not that I really care about internet points BTW)
"So why not"

Why not? Because I'm growing increasingly tired of having to keep up with all the various people who are offended by trivial bullshit so that I can adjust my own language to fit them.

There is no right to not be offended, and I think that fact is a core part of freedom of speech, both Constitutionally and socially.

Edit (the following line is out of place and unwarranted in this discussion but I will keep it in for the sake of posterity.): We live in a harsh world, and there is some nasty shit out there. I think people need to learn to grow a thick skin already.

Don't misunderstand me, I fully embrace peoples right to request people to change some of the common word usage, but I also support the right of people that don't want to do so.

I work similar to this. I love writing things in notebooks. I also like making diagrams on draw.io and printing them out for reference/writing on.
Maybe we should all do that presidential thing and switch to "Folks..."
I don't think you understand how reality works. You get to say whatever you want, and intend it however you want. Then the rest of us get to interpret your meaning and decide what it means for ourselves. You don't get to tell everyone else what to think of what you said. You just get to say whatever you want. You don't get to restrict how other people interpret what you say.
I don't know all (or many) of the specifics but I know a big one is that in certain states/situations partners were not guaranteed visitation rights in the hospital on the grounds that they weren't legally married.
You are infuriating! One person's crap is another person's interesting read. I enjoyed it and suggest you might want to perform your very own 'keep it to yourself' by the simple device of not reading such a piece instead of taking time off to diss it. Don't like it? Don't read it. The crap/bitchyness comes from you.
They do have a bearing on other rights though. I issued a blanket statement and wanted to make sure to list that there were exceptions.
Haha - you have clearly never worked for a 'real' company :)
OK downvoters [EDIT: previously parent post had been grayed-out, now it appears this one is?], do you really not know that this is a thing? Lots of mommies and daddies don't want little Jenny and Billy looked after by a dude. I don't know what being gay has to do with it, except perhaps 'taki1 is telling us that gay dudes are more likely to want to work in child care than straight dudes are. Maybe that's true?
I did think about that a bit. That's part of why I added the disclaimer. I included it more because I was watching it this weekend, saw that bit, and thought, "That would be a really unacceptable thing to say today, but back then it was considered funny." Edit: And you're right, comedians are on a different standard. Sorry, forgot to include that.
I'm glad we're in agreement on the issue, but I still think your wording shows an underlying dismissiveness of the work that went into this and the importance of today's decision. You're telling everyone "OK great, move on." like we shouldn't be celebrating this.
Yeah, you should start leading again by cross-species marriage too. It may sound bizarre now but that's how same sex marriage was a 100 years back. Marrying your pets should be legal too.
Constructing a channel (as it does though) is just pragmatic though and definitely not any less go-like.

You get a channel - you can read from it until it's closed which is always safe. Go-routines are cheap so you don't care about the background details. For simplifying HTTP, this is great.
And, in fairness, sex - gay or straight - is fundamentally pretty gross. Fun, but gross.
I could do all that. Or, I can unplug the keyboard while booting. :)
Historically it wasn't.
The real issue is that just over a century ago we lost a 2nd person plural pronoun and haven't really found a good subsitute since. When "you" took over for "thou" as the 2nd person singular pronoun we never replaced the original use of "you" with anything. So "guys", "y'all", "youse" are all attempts to fill the gap.
I'm continually dismayed by the lack of visibility in modern vehicles. It seems like every new model year increases size and weight while decreasing visibility. Take a look at cars from the 90s, and notice how much of their upper body is glass versus pillars or whatever. I drove a 1995 VW Golf for a number of years -- that thing was like driving around in a glass bubble compared to cars made today.

Surely, safety concerns/regulations are partly to blame for bulkier pillars and body parts, but I get the feeling that manufacturers just aren't investing engineering dollars in better visibility.
Not much, the data will show up fine, by default ThingieQuery doesn't do anything magical with the workbook itself it just reads and if you want writes data to it.

You can however explicitly embed a query into a workbook (it gets stored in the CustomXMLParts of the workbook), and you can automate running this query from VBA. For this automation to work, the other computer would need to have ThingieQuery installed, but it wouldn't need a license. The license is only required when working with the ThingieQuery UI.

I'm currently working on the ability to automate the execution of embedded queries from the UI, since the VBA automation API is less user friendly. I'm a bit apprehensive about this, as it might encourage further misuse of Excel though.
I just use "Hey folks" in mixed company. I have a strong compulsion to be very accurate/precise about things though.
Multiply by ~1.2-1.5 for contracting rates (but then good luck getting a mortgage)
Yep. Maybe we differ in our understanding of the phrase "states' rights argument" but the very first sentence you quoted screams "states' rights" to me - "Today, however, the Court takes the extraordinary step of ordering every State to license and recognize same-sex marriage."
Rails 4.2.3 and 4.1.12 have been released
I don't know. They had to start by striking down the federal benefits part of DoMA, and then return the issue to the lower courts to build up sufficient decisions (and precedent.) It takes time to do this. Frankly I'm astonished (and proud) that public opinion has shifted so quickly.
I mean... this reads like, "I don't care about offending those people."
Appeal to dictionary? Perennial favourite distraction and obfuscation technique.

Because, you know, common usage never changes.
It touched a raw nerve apparently based on the voting.

They tried to shout down gay marriage, too.
Honestly, without knowing the exact question it's hard to predict what the numbers will be. For example, there used to be a ~15% spread between people who supported gays and lesbians in the military vs. homosexuals in the military. [With another ~15% gap between 'serve in the military' vs. 'serve openly in the military'. The things we choose to care about...]

There is almost certainly a question phrasing that would yield something similar to your general sense of people's opinions (once you adjust for the fact you do not interact with randomly selected people, and tend to discuss the issue only with those who feel safe sharing their opinion with you).
Is it? By what measure?
Beyond Page Objects
I noticed the "guys" issue years ago, when I was teaching and needed to get the class's attention: http://jakeseliger.com/2010/03/21/hey-guys-read-this. I still haven't found a good replacement: "Everyone" sounds a little too formal, and talking to "everyone" using that word makes it sound a little too much like talking to no one.
The SCOTUS shouldn't wait on consensus. They don't need that. They need to decide if it is legal or not. If it is not, send it back to Congress to fix. While I agree with the ruling, this court has been doing things clearly outside its purview.
Wait can animals consent to marriage? Isn't that a pretty necessary component?
"Hey all" works too! I probably use "you all"/y'all/guys about evenly

Once you mix something else in and stop saying 'guys' practically every time, it's hard to go back.
To be fair, it's that big of an issue among conservative Christians as well, when I reality there are much bigger issues that fall under that group's area of concern.
That's the modern, historical revisionist version, but the "state's rights" the South seceded over weren't a rejection of federal power over the states. Their complaint was that the Northern states were not returning escaped slaves or allowing them to take their slaves into states where slavery was illegal, and that the Federal government was attacking their state's rights by not forcing the Northern states to do so. That's not a rejection of federal power. See for example http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp

I suspect the revisionist interpretation of state's rights probably comes from the 50s fight against desegregation.
His assumption holds up perfectly well. When I was in High School I had job where I drove around and made deliveries on Friday nights. Nothing sketchy, but I was out after dark a lot. During my two years doing that job, I almost hit cyclists a dozen times because they were wearing all dark colors, had few or no reflectors, no bike light and were riding on roads with no street lights. I never saw a single cyclist with a bike light (which is required by law in my city) the entire time I had this job. This has changed in the last couple years as I have seen several bikes with lights, something I am pretty happy about because I'm a cyclist too. My bike is white, has no reflectors (its a mountain bike primarily for trail use) and I refuse to ride at night because I know exactly how invisible I would be.
There are a ton of legal ramifications, including tax benefits (it's advantageous for a married couple to file income taxes jointly), immigration (spousal visas etc.), inheritance, and so on.

As we see today, history isn't always right. Sex with minors should always been illegal.
That's a nice garden office!
Half the reason people go to college is to pick up social skills and fraternize/network with other young, talented individuals.

So then perhaps it should be targeted for low EQs so that they can improve?
Being from Seattle, I don't have the habit of saying "y'all" but I recognize its utility. I like it much more than "you guys." I guess the Northeast equivalent would be "you's."

The worst thing ever is the second-person plural possessive that you hear on the West Coast: "you guys's." The correct word is just your but in the process of searching in vain for an unambiguous plural version we've created a monstrosity.
I didn't know how corrupt YC was until now. How much is your soul worth?
That's exactly the kind of response I was aiming for:) Thanks for saying that, it's amazing to read!
I blame the Dean, although it's been established he's not gay, that's putting him in a box, he's much more...he's a politician.
True. We don't say "gay passport" or "black diploma" or "woman's fishing license".
In my language variety, the issue never comes up. A group of people is always addressed as "y'all". "Guys" would sound weird whether the group was mixed gender or not.
"Hi everyone".

I like using "Hi People". Because it's kind of nice and acknowledgementy.

I will judge you by all the things you say and all the things you do. But that's human nature isn't it.

Edit: I can't use the otherwise excellent y'all because it's not compatible with my nationality/accent :-)
Absolutely - and this trend is only accelerating... as Americans, we're surrounding ourselves more and more with people of a similar world view. I can see how it happens (and I'm the same, with the vast majority of my friends and social circle university-educated, reasonably progressive, etc.) but it does distort our ability to imagine what the rest of the society's thinking.
The SCOTUS didn't make any law here, they simply said the laws being passed were unconstitutional. Isn't that what they're supposed to do?
I remember seeing screenshots of GL Quake and QuakeII in PC Mags taken on machines with 3DFX cards, and wanting one badly. However, no way my parents could spend the money on that.

Hat tip for being the elite of the elite PC gamers back in the 90's!
It's not about offending people. It's about including everyone. I've taken my daughter to Girl Scout meetings and had to hear 'Ok, moms...' constantly. It doesn't offend me but it doesn't make me feel like a part of the group either.
I'm happy for the gay community. At least the Supreme Court is not fully corrupted.
I'm a straight conservative (more fiscal than social, and sure as hell not Republican any more), and my reaction to this is: "meh". The writing has been on the wall for a while now, and anybody surprised by this hasn't been paying attention.

Any social conservatives on HN -- that is to say, both of you -- should keep in mind that if you're worried about how this affects the sanctity of marriage, that institution has long since been sullied by a) allowing government to get involved with it, b) easily-obtainable divorces and c) that whole Henry VIII business. Same-sex couples can't possibly do any more damage than that.

Of the threats to American culture or even Western Civilization as a whole, the SSM boogeyman pales in comparison to a feckless electorate, unaccountable government with Big Brother aspirations, crushing debt and even Islamic extremists.

That's why my reaction is "meh": as a "problem", SSM isn't even on the radar.
I had a dog once whose soul I would have been fine to have bound to my own until death did us part which... sadly did happen.

Maybe I'm ready to start seeing other dogs.
Except many of those companies are simultaneously bitching about "lack of talent".

I'd fear for the driver's safety if this is true and this arrangement became public. Whoever thinks this is a good idea?
Quoting a comedian as a means of reflecting what's popular or at least socially acceptable is an appropriate and accurate way to say "at one point in recent history, it was socially acceptable to say demeaning things about gay people."

Michael Richards is a comedian, and made anti-Semitic remarks that resulted in a significant backlash. Again, looking back this is a good indication of someone saying something that was NOT popularly acceptable.
Are you just here for a fight?

"Econ people" is short for "Economics people". Another word for "Economics people" would be "Economists", but it might also include people who have an interest in economics but don't consider themselves economists.

And as for the plural, An "econ person" would be an economist. The OP specified "Econ people".

Calm yourself down a bit.
Facebook censors so much and swaps out links. I can't even post a link to https://scientificamerica.com. Their SSL cert is weak and should not be trusted. It is swapped out for phishing scams.
maybe productivity is irrelevant, and it's simply a case of being overwhelmed because your learning all of these at once?

productivity is never as good when your learning something vs when you have mastered it.

imagine your working on a team, and most of the fellow devs are comfortable with many technologies. now compare this to a team where everyone only has one role or technology. in this scenario ( certainly exceptions to this but ) in my experience the team where people can work on anything is leagues more productive.

I think that a large portion of this is attitude and not skill. to be full stack you often have to be ok with diving into a task that is not your specialty. not everyone is ok with that.

being a specialist is hard these days. I have hired specialists before but they have to add something very special and unique to the rest of the team that very few people can do.
C static typing can be very useful, if you are able to use it effectively.

There is, of course, a tremendous pile of things it doesn't do well, and a bunch of ways you can make it less useful for yourself, but the last C project I worked on I found it a tremendous help in refactoring compared to the nightmare I would have had without it.
> opinion also reasserted that people who are really mad about this can continue to be mad and vocal about it, as guaranteed by the First Amendment

Was this a question? I don't think I've heard anyone ever say otherwise.

I'll add though, that people long have cloaked oppression in religion. People justified (and still justify) slavery, segregation, and oppression of women under the guise of religion, for example. Some might have been sincere (not that it justifies oppressing others), but for some the 'ultimate' authority of their God is an effective defense against any mortal criticism.

EDIT: To be clear, this is not a problem with religion in particular. I'm only discussing religion because that's the issue on the table. Thanks to chrisguilbeau for pointing that out; I agree with his comment below.

>Yeah, you should start leading again by cross-species marriage too.

They keyword is consent. Animals can't consent. Children can't consent. Having said that, in a few years (decades?), I could see poly-marriages also getting equal standing under the law.
This will start shortly if it hasn't already.
How does the autocompletion work? Is is context sensitive to suggest only column names after the 'WHERE' clause or will it suggest 'tables and columns'?
I also support the right of people that don't to do so.

But you seem to be against those people accepting consequences of that action. What if I'm offended and decide to stop hanging out with those people, or decide to remind them each time that they are offending me? They should accept my decision and not tell me to "grow a thick skin" and pretend that their offensiveness is my fault.
How is it counterproductive exactly? The setup of the debugger itself? Or trying to figure out how it works?
Considering there are plenty of examples of "gay" marriage from thousands of years ago, calling strait marriage traditional seems factually incorrect.

I'm trading an interesting job for plodding as you put it.

The positive thing about plodding when you're experienced is that it doesn't kill you so you can do more interesting things.
The big ones are hospital visitation rights, being able to file joint federal taxes, and estate planning and inheritance benefits.
Static analysis tools are great for simple bugs. However, most compiler tools already fix these simple bugs. If there is a class of bugs not addressed by a compiler, most developers have a script to catch these. It may not find the harder to detect bugs (such as those arising out of nested calls), but it gets the job done. The complex tools pushed out by the static analysis guys usually has a high false positive rate that at first becomes annoying to use and later is completely ignored.

As for more complex bugs, most developers are aware these bugs exist but do not want to fix them immediately. The reason is on many occasions, these bugs represent some bigger problem in the code base that requires significant re-factoring. And applying the quick fix as suggested by the code analysis tool simply buries these problems instead of fixing them the right way.
Go is great, its open source. I wish Hacker News open sourced their code so that we knew what they are doing. Scared of having folks game the system? Why not have the community make it the best algorithm possible. Why keep pushing YC all the time? Do they not have enough already? Painters and hackers! ha!
I'm from Pennsylvania; the alternatives there are "youse" and "yinz" which are two of the most awful words in english. (Both mean "y'all.")

We are the 18th country to entirely legalize gay marriage.
Social security, tax benefits, death benefits (including child custody), health insurance coverage, legal (marital communications privilege) There are probably thousands of these baked into our state and federal laws.

Property in Cambridge is also very expensive.
no, no, no. I'm all about individual rights!

Each person, whatever their sex is, should have the right to work at a place if they are as qualified as other candidates.

If there's a lady who wants to land a job at Child Care Center, and - let's say a Black transgender gay communist - they should have exactly the same chances. But these horrible sexist mothers will allow only other women, preferable white, to take care of their kids! Males stand almost no chances, not to mention race minorities, not to mention sex minorities.

This is a true middle-ages dramatic situation of these gays. And again - I'm talking on the individual level. Even if only one gay out of the population of 20% gay in the US currently wants to have a job at a Child Care Center he should have exactly same chances as a single white straigt woman.

Wouldn't you agree? I hope you are not a xenophobic racist homophob because that what you are if you give preference to some white woman working at a Child Care to Black Transgender Gay (fe)male.
EDIT: Don't downvote just because you can't wrap your head around it. Their expression of love is a consent and marriage rules and interpretation can change like now. Also, legalize polygamy right now.
It is hard to pin down the precise motives of a large organization. But Apple is no stranger to embracing the zeitgeist when the mood suits them, e.g. the fast-tracking of the Fiore and Charlio Hebdo apps: http://readwrite.com/2015/01/13/apple-app-charlie-hebdo-mark...

As pleased as I am with the ruling, and as backwards as I think Americans are in many areas, I am not convinced this statement is true.
Not to detract from your sentiment, but not all of the developed world has same-sex marriage as legal:

This is my approach too. I like to understand the entire flow, from the beginning to the end. To me this is the best way to get familiar because once you dive from different entry points you start noticing the patterns and similar paths in the code to the point where you don't need to dive to those areas again, as you quickly assimilate them by simply going over multiple times.
There's been a dull hum of religious conservatives worrying about consequences like this ever since the 2013 ruling.
