I was just supplying one reason for changing it, other people may just prefer some particular site or application in light mode versus dark (and vice versa) instead of managing multiple instances of the same thing like I am. Suppose you&#x2

For reasons (I work for one company, but our work is for both ourselves and sometimes in partnership with others), I often end up with two (or more) instances of certain sites and apps (like two organizational Gitlab instances). To make my

HN has been business focused for a very long time, it was founded by a VC and a major theme on any given day has always been startups and what they're doing, how they're doing it, or how to join that club yourself. That means it a

Usually airports use signs with both graphics and text for this. Removes the ambiguity unless you mistake the image of a bag for the tray and vice versa. Which leaves me confused with GP's suggestion. Every TSA line I've been in a

You claimed, falsely, that the only non-member states were democratically controlled. That's false and easy to verify using the IMLCC's own information. So my question still remains unanswered, why did you feel the need to lie abo

The headline is safe to ignore, as are most headlines. In the survey results it's 92% of insured adults delay (not avoid, delay) going to the doctor. https://www.jgwentworth.com/resources/medical-emergency

> Joining the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLCC) would allow American doctors to practice in those states. Who knows, it might help. This is a national level survey so it's unclear what you mean by "those states"

Emotions. The US killed much of Iran's leadership and a lot of civilians (including a lot of children) at the order of Trump. That creates a strong motivation to do something, and revenge is one of those things that's emotionally

I'm curious why people are upvoting this listicle. Take this example from it: > Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence by Peter Norvig. Learning the AI described in this book probably won’t land you a job today. But reading the code

This is one semester, not all, and they still will be getting individual marks (necessary to determine final grade). They can excel if they want to, and they'll have external signals if that's what they need. It just won't be

People are vandalizing and tearing down Flock cameras. There is absolutely a strong response happening right now, not just documentation.

> This has the knock-on effect that it becomes impossible to excel in your first semester. No, it eliminates the grade and GPA award for excelling. You can still excel, unless you absolutely require external validation for your work. And

The resolution to this anxiety, like for all transfer students, is to contact the academic advisors at your next institution and work with them. That's what I did, I had taken a break to work during college and when I returned it was t

Can you explain your $1-2 million figure and your handful of developers finishing it in 1-2 months? What's the timeline for this Fandango rewrite look like in your mind in more specific terms than just 1-2 months. What do you think can

> The rebuild cost would recoup in a couple months. This is pretty optimistic. In reality, when money or critical systems are involved they'd want to thoroughly vet the new work and that'll take a lot more than two months.

That was going to be my guess, too. Looking through some syllabi over the years it looks like they used Scala for it for a while and Python, more recently.

> Go 1.0 was released in 2013 (I don't even think the "official date" of March 28, 2012 is correct, or at least, nobody had heard of it). This is a strange and ahistorical take. Go was heavily discussed in 2009 after it wa

I figured that was the case, I just wanted to give them a chance to prove their point instead of just stating over and over again something false. I guess hunterpayne follows the "repeat a lie often enough" approach to truth and f
