I'm curious if anyone has a good solution for this, how to accurately display cases where a storm might hit either Monday or Tuesday, say 50% chance each. If you just say there's a 50% chance of rain on both days, it looks like th

Here’s the question, are the benefits worth the increase in complexity, or rather are they worth more than other features that could be worthwhile for libraries to support. For the hyperscale web sure, but for the long tail web that is very

I'm curious how many people tasted beer for the first time, and purely based on the taste wanted to drink more. My impression, and this might just be limited exposure, is most bitter drinks are niche products unless they deliver alcoho

My favorite file+space issues is spaces at the end of file names, especially when you copy and paste text, or text gets trimmed from an input box, or the person forgets to trim space from an input box...

If you sell yourself as a public character, then I think it’s fair to put that image on trial

I have a theory that the enthusiasm of teachers teaching the material is a far bigger factor in the effectiveness of learning than the methods. So much so that any advantage from better methods gets quickly nullified without teacher buy in
