It's perfectly consistent with the scientific method. Atheism is falsifiable. If there's solid evidence of gods existing, an atheist will change their mind. Theism is non-falsifiable, and thus inconsistent with science. Also Templ

I once left my phone on a train in Kyoto. Managed to get it back in about 40 minutes with the help of station staff (it was a minor station so it was just one guy who didn't speak any English).

So books that promote unscientific cures are not allowed now? Interesting. "And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up" -- The Holy Bible (James 5:15) http://www.fox8live.com&#

It's not a meme, it's a good advice. There is no person who will regret learning to code. Even if they end up doing something else, knowing how to code would definitely come in handy for something.

This is true, but Tarn Adams was in fact offered a big commercial deal before and rejected it. He really values the independence of his vision.

What if you decide to implement a new feature/big refactoring and don't finish it for some reason? This is where feature branches shine, you can just switch back to master and start working on something else.

Nah, the author does have a point. There's something fundamentally wrong with how Gmail collapses messages. I have email notifications from a certain web store when some of the items I might be interested in come in stock/for preo

Considering smartphones don't even sync anything by default, why should they be counted as devices. The app is just a glorified website wrapper.

Seems like overkill. Just declare your guesses and use a third party to generate coin flip/dice roll. In fact this functionality is built-in in a number of chat clients.

The real problem is that the web is now too complex to the point that it's impossible to safely implement it. And W3C keeps trying to add new features to it. At some point we have to stop and consider whether all this cruft is even n

The point is not to reduce the comment to the assert, but to detect when the comment is outdated. If a comment is referring to another function in the code, then assert would check that the function exists. If you refactor the code and remo

Around Shin-Imamiya station in Osaka where I stayed there's literally trash dumped on the streets and homeless people relieving themselves amongst it all. People just don't go anywhere far from the usual tourist spots.

Idea: every comment should have an assert attached to it. If after a code change assert becomes false, your IDE warns you and you must rewrite the attached comment.

The problem is that the test subjects were listening to unfamiliar music. If they were listening to what they're always listening to, they wouldn't be nearly as distracted. Personally, most of my hobby projects were coded while li
