At some point, as the author asserts, Ruby appears to have been a more academic/corporate(?) language than Java.

Firefox had a bunch of asserts that sent logged information before they died, for example.

Even things like asserts in python, (assert is even a builtin in python, no need to import unittest!) is non-existant in golang.

The referenced article simply asserts that minimum wage increases lead to job losses, but doesn't actually cite any evidence of it happening.

Also, many asserts are rewritten to provide debugging information, not just crashing the program.

For this reason, the paper asserts, the practice has the effect of harming consumers.

He then asserts that this is due to some sort of implied theft.

At the time, neither gcc nor clang were able to infer enough information from builtin_unreachable or asserts in non-debug mode to be worth the effort.

The other side asserts that implementation details such as the neuronal firing rate are absolutely crucial and cannot be deviated from without invalidating the whole endeavor.

One side (in my opinion, reasonably) asserts that this is an implementation detail where it makes sense to model a functional equivalent instead of strictly emulating nature.

The usual touchstone, whether that which someone asserts is merely his persuasion -- or at least his subjective conviction, that is, his firm belief -- is betting.

In it, the author asserts Intel started a war with nVidia before it had real ammunition (Larrabee) and is in a world of hurt as a result.

The reason is that progressive political ideology asserts that violence that is perpetrated by "powerful" groups against "powerless" groups has an additional significance and importance, and violence against nerds falls weakly into this category, if at all.

"It asserts, roughly, that if indeed we humans have free will, then elementary particles already have their own small share of this valuable commodity." He goes on to show the reverse of this.

> Scott Sumner explaining how all capital income taxes are additive w.r.t labor income tax He certainly asserts that income tax "doubles [sic] taxes the money saved, once as wages, and again as capital income." But this is a ludicrous assertion, since the part taxed as labor income is not taxed as capital income.

(If you define "crackpot" as someone who repeatedly asserts views widely outside of the scientific consensus, without substantially altering said consensus, then he is, tautologically, a crackpot.) > The CRU folks conspired to keep data from him in order to prevent him from making further corrections to Briffa's hockey stick.
