Personally, I wouldn't mind banning ice-cream trucks. Where I used to live in queens, at about 8:30-9:00PM an ice-cream truck would drive down our street with ear piercingly loud music, and start our kids complaining that they want so

As a fellow Aussie, I still find it ludicrous that $60,000 AUD isn't much to spend on a car. Obviously only an anecdote, but I don't know anyone who has bought a car that even approaches that price, let alone for that to be the n

This is probably a dumb question, but if it is covered in methane and there are clouds, is there lightning? If there is, wouldn't the methane ignite?

As an anecdote, when my team was moving to c++11 I decided to give a presentation on the important features, and when they should be used\avoided. I thought it would take a couple of hours to make a presentation, however it ended up taking

I can assure you, the majority of people who regularly use the Bloomberg terminal are not eager for any change whatsoever to how they consume the data. Any change, no matter how much it improves the workflow or UI is met with bitter resista

I'm sure it would have lead to problems, that's just one of the examples of beginner mistakes with the code. That's kind of the point of this post, for the author to poke fun at themselves for the number of newbie mistakes t

I lived in Queens, near Laguardia airport and worked in midtown Manhattan. That required a bus (or a decent walk) and a train, and usually took about 45 minutes. Apartments that didn't require the bus, and only needed the 15 minute t

There is a documentary called 'Derek Tastes of Earwax' which is about synesthesia, where the main person in the documentary tastes words. He says during it that he finds it difficult to cook food and listen to people talk, becaus

Wow, thank you so much! I've had this my entire life, but never knew what it was, and never met anyone else who also got it. It's nice to be able to put a name to it.

This seems a lot like the idea a lot of people I know do. They set their alarm clock 10 minutes fast, so in theory they will assume they are running late and get moving in the morning. I honestly don't know how people think this will w

I used to be a huge TF2 fan, I've got about 2k hours logged. But I haven't played in a long time, it really needs a breath of fresh air and to bring out TF3. I get that they are still making a killing off in game purchases, but th

I agree. To make a decent game an enormous mount of effort has to go into it. If you are a solo dev that has spent the last year pouring your heart into a game, I don't think $1000 to release it to a massive audience would stop it bei

It doesn't really take very long to actually fold shirts and pants, most of the time is spent on sorting. I would think in the amount of time it takes you to properly clip a shirt onto the machine, you should easily have folded it you

I agree. I recently had to do some java work and had to come up to speed with Springs dependency injection. When it worked it was fine, but when something went wrong there were so many layers of abstraction and vague error messages it was a

Having recently moved to America from Australia (specifically Canberra, which is considered the round-about capital), one of the biggest things I miss is round-abouts. They don't stop the flow of traffic like all way stop signs or tra

I don't know the answer there, but in Australia I regularly get breath tested for drink driving at 'drunk driving checkpoints'. The basically just stop and test as much traffic as they can. Othertimes they will just randoml

I don't know the origins, but we seem to use 'she' as a synonym for 'the situation'. She'll be right. She's all good. She's apples. etc.
