> At Caltech, there has been an average gap of 10 percentage points between the acceptance rate for male and female applicants since 2003-04. Women were accepted at more than double the rate for men for the 2022-23 school year.

This is about acceptance rate. We were talking about number of applicants. Where are the numbers for applications?

> In my personal experience, it was actually the opposite. I self censored my application to MIT because I noticed that they rejected all the men from my high school and accepted all the women who applied, despite the men being equally or more qualified.

Your anecdote is supposed to beat data...?

> They also didn't say men would even ask anyone out, are you being sexist, and assuming men always ask, and women do not?

Not remotely related to what I said.

> Or are you suggesting women don't have a sex drive, and should be chaste?

Not remotely related to what I said.

Why do you feel the need to make stuff up?

Durov chose to become a French citizen. What do you make of that?

> This seems to be missing the elephant in the room - elisp doesn't suck, it is just a lisp.

The article lists a few defaults of elisp that aren't shared by all lisps. What do you mean by this sentence?

This already exists, right now...? I've seen tons of USB hubs with an hdmi output and several USB ports that can be used concurrently. Hell I'm using one right now. Are you asking about something else?

> I think in practice, people write "Emphasize words like this.", then <left> , then <C-left><C-left> . At least I myself usually add markup immediately after writing the words to be marked up.

Is this very different from "<left> <Ctrl+Shift+left> <Ctrl+Shift+Left> <Ctrl+I>"?

WTF. I'm interested in what you've created and want to understand the reason for your design decisions, and this is how you reply?

edit: Well, it seems that the parent comment has been edited. But honestly, after reading the initial comment, I'm not interested in engaging in any way whatsoever with this person.

There's no reason it wouldn't "work", the question is "why". Having such precise dates obviously comes with some compromises (e.g., the representation is larger, or it's variable depending on the value which comes with additional complexity, etc.). So surely there must be some pros to counterbalance the cons. "Because it's what Go does" is an answer, but I don't know if it's a convincing one.
