For me I am also extremely anxious on the phone (albeit getting better), but this is a niche case. I think knowing the number is possibly the complication that Uber solves? EDIT: I'm pretty uninformed about this whole world, as I use a

I suspect that the amazing ease of use to the user - get a cab in just a couple of taps of the finger - is being backed not for its own sake, which appears to be of limited use to the average individual currently, but because the infrastruc

This is also the case in the UK. Here in the UK, in general (I don't know about the US), renting a property allows you the right to just about live there, grudgingly, and it is definitely NOT your house or home. This is true more of th

Have you played Ziggurat? It's a fantastic FPS/roguelike-like. Shades (well, more than shades) of Heretic. http://store.steampowered.com/app/308420/

You must be terribly bored of all these "Why Not X" posts by now, but... why not the Nokia 105? I have the Nokia 100 and it does the job (texting, calling, playing Snake) just fine. The 105 has even more standby & talk time pe

From other comments it looks like terse sentences, intensifiers and popular brand names are factors, which would explain that comment.

It worked after going back to it. I'm not sure why it wasn't working earlier, perhaps the issue was fixed?

I don't know about that even, I know some professional philosophers of ethics who are extremely passionate about veganism, but I wouldn't say they were less well-informed.

Very like that, or at least working towards the same outcome, thank you. I will certainly try to make a donation over the next few days.

I'd be interested in a "Kickstarter for articles" sort of site. Interesting article pitches presented to an audience, those that are most useful, interesting or unique are funded and writers get paid slightly more directly fo

Major tech companies - Google, Tesla, Facebook - seem to be investing more and more heavily in their long-term future and diversifying what areas they're involved with. Perhaps the goal is to be bought out by a Musk or Musk-lite?

Searching for "Quick Sort" on the other hand returns results for me. Not sure if it's just a case of a different naming convention and finicky search, or intermittent site issues.

I love Racket, and thus Schemes of many kinds, but that chapter is really difficult for me to read compared to more academic or technical approaches - and I am really not an academic or technical person! I find the use of some sort of Socra

Most modern functional languages encourage immutability to a greater or lesser extent, but allow or even encourage workarounds. I don't think they depend on immutability but it's a bigger deal than it is in some other paradigms.

Bear in mind that someone will always take jobs that are lower-paid, they might just not be as visible, as they're not going to be appearing on company blogs or writing about their work as much. I knew two talented developers, one fron
