Thanks! That page has a graph. Blue (.) seems to be preferred by most (not all) commonwealth nations. There seems to be a lot more green (,) areas, but the 3 largest countries by population — China, India, and USA — are blue. Somewhat surpr

And what's the situation in Linux? I use Netflix via Chrome on Linux. As such I don't watch too many movies. Was I paying all that money for nothing? While on the subject — I use Chrome exclusively for Netflix. My privacy settings

No doubt spf13 is a very smart and capable person. But the excessive use of "I" does stick out. In my culture (where spf13 is not from), excessive use of "I" is considered a sign of arrogance. That's probably just c

On that page there's an "Enrollment by Gender" graph which shows that since 2009 (which is when the graph starts) there's been significantly higher number of females than males over there every year.

It's not just exchange rates. The problem is that, in some places (like India, for example) $10 might be a lot of money. One might be able to do a lot more with $10 in India (₹800), than with $10 in USA, due to reasons that are beyond

Some older books might be useful, though I'm not sure how useful older python books might be. Since you're a librarian, may I suggest some books you might want to consider keeping (not all of these are programming books per se): D

Yep, the relatively short plane with large wings. Doesn't go fast, but it hovers in the air for quite a bit. Does this until it hits the ground: Go down, gather lift and go up, reach stall speed, stall, repeat. Nice to watch if you hav

Eventually I'd like to obtain a licence, at least the one for smaller planes. But even if I get one, general aviation isn't really a thing here in India so it's kind of a dead-end. I think USA is a better place for these kind

If you want to have kids, go have kids (in a safe, legal, consenting way of course). If you don't want to have kids, then don't. Just don't exert your position on other people, especially about this.
