I would like to see the US step up its process to accept refugees. Why, do you want to see a lot of dead refugees? Because that's where all of this is heading. It'll happen in Europe first, since they have a stronger sense of na

Eliminating certain sites and eliminating the internet is basically the same thing for me. As a programmer, I'm always on the internet researching problems and solutions. I don't count that because it's not an instant fix, it

There's Lake Placid or the 1000 islands. Once upon a time (1870's to WWI-ish), presidents and influential people used to come to the 1000 islands for the summer. If you like fall leaves, October here is like no other. Do not stay

Humor?!? How dare you, sir! Arguing about the smallest minutia of javascript frameworks is no laughing matter! Why, just last week a friend of mine used Angular when he should have used Angular2, the fool! His arms turned black and fell off

Do you have Hyperthymic Temperament[0], by any chance? It's rare. I know one guy who has it and is basically like what you describe: always on. He's the only person I've ever met who can happily work 16 hour days for years on

I think the problem is that, because of historical quirks and social norms, cars are much bigger than they should be. That doesn't explain their popularity throughout the world, even the third world. As wasteful as cars are, they get

I'm curious, why not LuaJIT? It's small and fast and when you need it to be faster, it has excellent C FFI and the ability to add inline assembly[0]. [0]: https://gist.github.com/lukego/d15f3a65bd316ea2c2b6
