   Converting from epub to mobi or azw3 which are consumed by Kindle is easy. Calibre can do it and it can be even run from commandline. Problem with Kindle/Amazon is the "Kindle Unlimited" program which although profitable for

   She was kinda right to report you. Your advice was stupid sexist and racist empty phrase and she, in contrast to you, was smart enough to notice it and actually question it. Your back-pedalling just reinforced her already bad opinion of you

   It doesn't get TCOd, the compiler simply recognizes what it does and optimizes it. It does literally same thing with the code below. int count(int n) { int res = 0; for (int i=0; i < n; i++) res++; return res;

    False equivalency. If you eat brain of prion-infested sheep, it will end with your death. With cannibalism it continues after members of your community eat you at your funeral, that allows for much wider spread of the disease. We don't

    Using such rule of thumb would let one believe that cannibalism is ok as part of diet because Fore people practised it for generations. We of course know now that it caused spread of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease among them with incubation peri

    I think it was fitting, considering how UK joined the EU in the first place (look up Maastricht Treaty if you don't remember it).

    I quite agree, especially with the second paragraph. What I see as main "advantage" is that it stops developers from trying to be smart. With Tailwind first idea when creating a new component is using some combination of existing

    I normally hate this kind of animations on websites, but in this case they look really good. (Only on the first page though, when I click on later pages, for instance "Bot Service", waiting for content to show is annoying.)

    It's regrettable, but the author seems to forget that he was part of an organization that has been spreading rhetoric which leads directly to this for years, now when he himself is bitten by this too, it's surprised pikachu face.

    Why don't you read at least the abstracts of links you post? None of the links says that. One of the links mentions epigenetic changes which can propagate, that's something quite different from mutating genetics.
