I was talking about the "Repair is a Radical Act" post, and my position, like I said, is that it is brand marketing. Therefore, I am not going to make any active effort: I expect the message to be regurgitated directly into my gul

Would the authors venture to make a prediction on what will happen as the US moves away from monogamy? Edit: I'm not talking about moving towards poligamy. I'm talking about moving away from monogamous marriage in general. To quot

Well, of course. Criminals tend to commit multiple crimes. Would you prefer a world where crimes are just randomly committed by anyone, including you and your family, with uniform distribution? If you would, you know where to start.

The interesting question is whether the dislike for HFR cinema is: - Purely due to habit, with people having learned to associate LFR with high quality content (film) and HFR with low quality content (video). In this case, the problem will

With Chinese quackery behind the demand for rhino horn, and with China's increasing presence in Africa, I am really surprised that the Chinese government is not doing more to save the rhinos. If I were a high-ranking communist bureaucr

C&P seems noticeably slower than magnetic stripe at the moment. Possibly due to stores still running their POS on PSTN connections. I wouldn't be surprised if some places were still using stripes to avoid slowdowns at checkout.

No, you could copy and paste it, and then add highlighting after it's pasted. I guess one advantage of using a single command is that you can select, right-click the selection and run the service, and then paste. OTOH, I would probably

The second code example ("if you were doing this before ARC") is completely wrong. "alloc" is a class method that allocates memory for an instance, on which "init" is then called. Calling it on an instance retu

XMPP lacks a fundamental feature: it does not echo your messages back to your other devices. This made it uniquely unsuitable for the mobile world: if you start a conversation with someone on your computer, and then move to your phone, all

The notion that mass immigration from Syria to Europe is a necessary consequence of the war is trivially falsified by looking at the timeline. The Syrian civil war started in early 2011. Daesh entered the war in early 2012 as al-Nusra Front
