I think the argument holds. Sugar has a huge and quantifiable LD50. So does, well, water. This tells us that they are pretty much non-toxic at lose doses. If the LD50 of the "toxins" is similar to water, how can one claim that

You didn't ask if it's possible to have a knot perform the same tasks (break an uncontrolled descent) without friction, you asked if there were any examples of such a knot. Is it possible? I can't rule it out. Are there ex

Notebook in this example is much like the notebook concept in ipython. Basically, it is a literate program that allows you to intersperse code, documentation and visualizations in the same "file" called a notebook. If you are fami

Last I checked. Docker will pull a delta when resolving new containers, but will export the entire thing if you want something for offline usage. I had the same question as OP and didn't find anything that works as he described it whe

Hi Eric! I enjoyed "The Lean Startup" and I think the approach for the new book is very interesting. Besides establishing the backer-only discussion community, what other lean methodologies are you using to write this book? Along

I actually don't mind most ads. If you've got a static ad related to the content I'm browsing, it doesn't bother me. I actually might click on it. I feel the same way about ads in newspapers and magazines. But then th

So, I want to use a pretty lightweight framework, but then I'm not writing javascript anymore? I have to compile it like coffeescript? But what if I'm already using coffeescript? What if I want to use typescript? Now I have to

This is very interesting to see since I value Netflix's opinion. What's been holding me back was the pervasive JSX design. I know the react guys say that JSX is optional, but react without JSX seems cumbersome compared to, say,

If the current law says that you need to be in the targets jurisdiction to obtain a warrant, and you can't find the target's location because they are obscuring it via a VPN or Tor, doesn't it make sense that the government s

To take your argument further, it's not the equation of the A-bomb, it's the implementation ? That's somewhat compelling. But, at least in the US, firearms aren't illegal. Using them in a crime is the illegal part. T

Apologies, as I misinterpreted your short reply. It was a bit odd have "how is A different than B?" replied to as "well, how is A similar to B?". Now that I think about it they are both quite similar ("build apps

It's a completely open-ended question and I word it differently depending on how the interview is going. You can demonstrate passion for technology even if what you talked about was a one-off utility that you wrote for your job. I wan

I love this question and use it as part of my interview deck. It is only part of the deck, however. This question is a great positive indicator, but a terrible negative indicator. That is to say, a person who works on a lot of stuff in the

Agree. The anti-pattern here is expecting a specific answer for a question. The goal should be, "how does this candidate think through problems?" If they arrive at a logic solution and can critique it, then I would consider the

Maven stores all of the artifacts that it retrieves in one big local cache so that you don't have to pull the same dependency down. NPM, by default, will store the artifacts into a directory local to your project. The maven way sounds
