Insects might be more economical, or at least eventually when their production is more mainstream. But food is relatively cheap today anyway; what is expensive is rent/or mortgage. Food for a single, working person doesn't really

I think it's more fun to consider the widespread "hate" of comic sans, and considering whether it is really "bad" or just band-wagoning.

Are you a native or have you moved there from somewhere else? I think the dual to "the grass is always greener" is that you might not realize that some things are problematic, or that there are better alternatives, unless you&#x27

The 1950s aren't so far back in time that people can't rely more on their family's and other families' experience of what it was like in the 50s. Or are we really more informed by TV shows and sitcoms than we are by actu

It seems to be done mostly by some students from Buenos Aires. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided what language to use.

They think that a woman making a non-traditional[1] choice is anti-feminist? They think that woman should fall in line and do what is expected of her (out of ideology)? How wonderfully ironic. [1] staying at home might as well be the new n

Please don't bring Norway into this. I'd rather not see it inspire yet another subthread with a bunch of cocksure foreigners who think they know what this country is like. Their analysis tends to be shallow.

"Even in the US," - American social mobility is something that is often touted, but not often proven. And last I saw, it seemed to have been exaggerated (though I don't have any great overview over research on this at all).

So? Post as much about the downsides of (admission to) prestigious schools as you want. People are still going to fawn over people who went there, and those who went there are going to continue to flaunt it (because, hey, it works).

I don't get it. If you have a headline that forces you to actually read the article to find out what it's talking about, or what the answer is, then people complain about "click bait". If you use some kind of predictable

Wildly off-topic, but I wonder if people like Sutter get tired of saying "c plus plus". It's a very wordy name, and words that start with "p" has got a certain punching quality that I don't know what is cal

I seriously want to meet the kind of person who looks at a job advert, maybe does an interview, and then decides "Yep, this is the kind of job that I would like to live and breath ". I can understand if someone does a job for a g

Is storing the elements in-place instead of with a pointer seriously all it takes to be intrusive ? I'd have thought that would be par for the course in languages like C/++. Is there something else to it that I'm missing?

Now I can finally quantify how little I do of everything that I should be doing. Before it was vague; now the guilt really can come to life with exciting (or rather, flat?) graphs and visuals.
