Actually it is 1 day maximum, which is the legal requirement for transfers within the EWR. If it takes longer at your bank, go sue them. But I can't share your experience. I've lately transferred money between three different bank

I just don't get it. No one would argue that there clearly are different preferences in terms of the preferred indention width among different developers. So who on earth thinks: hey, I like an indention of 2 spaces. Let's just re

How is giving inflation-adjusted values any better than statements like "since last year"? Both are relative to the time the article was written and thus no longer adequate some years later.

So clearly, there are people who favor 2 and people who prefer 4. Solution: Indent with tabs, configure your editor, and everyone is happy. I don't get why people still promote the use of spaces.

I appreciate your suggestions and will give them a try. One potential problem I see is that while my desk and chair are height-adjustable, unfortunately the armrests of my chair are not. That could get in the way of "hanging my arms lo

"Kinesis contoured keyboards are nice except they don’t have forearm support because they’re above the table. ... If these keyboards could be recessed in the desk rather than rested upon the desk, they could be neat." 1000x this.

I know. But just because something is the first, doesn't mean it (still) is the best ;) But as I already said, I agree; everything that came after was subpar.

As far as I know, Smalltalk never had "real" multiple inheritance, but merely an experimental hack implementation around doesNotUnderstand (cf. http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?MultipleInheritanceInSmalltalk ). So I wo

Smalltalk! I got in touch with it in university and I love it. I'm convinced it is the best OO language there is, and generally one of the best general purpose languages (and environments!) ever invented. I even had the luck to be able

In iOS 9, there currently seem to be 45 methods whose selector alone is longer than 140 characters. But how many of those are actually supposed to be used is another question ;)

What would be disadvantageous about it? This facet makes Smalltalk (and Ruby) extremely consistent, I don't see how that would be a bad thing (as long as we are talking about an object-oriented language).

nil in Smalltalk is an object itself, so if you want to build something Option-like with it, this is pretty straightforward to implement. Considering that Citrine claims that "everything is an object", this should also be the case

Actually both children survived. But considering their age at that time and the inconceivability of the event I doubt that their testimonials would be worth much.

I wonder that nobody mentioned view definition reusability which is totally lacking with storyboard UIs and one of the primary reasons why we also moved from using storyboards to doing everything in code with ComponentKit. Just think about

It's funny because I'm currently reading "The Circle" by Dave Eggers where having cameras recording every moment of your life is a central aspect of the story. No, actually it is not funny. It is creepy.

Op here. First of all, let me say that I'm totally aware that with Swift lurking around the corner, Objective-C is far from being the cool kid on the block. However, the latter is not going away anytime soon, and as long as Objective-C
