Why would you be looking at the average for this though? The reason economic factors and crime rates are so tightly correlated are because it is those who are desperate for money, e.g. unemployed, working low-wage and/or part-time, etc

I feel like this is some sort of absurdist joke that I can't even begin to fathom. I understand all the things you mention, but can't make a bit of sense out of it.

I think defining the constant the first time you use it (if you're assuming you might only use it once) may be a reasonable solution to this, but if you plan on anyone else to ever be looking at your code I feel like magic numbers shou

I believe you're actually agreeing with the author here. I took his comment to mean "Don't have unnamed numbers/strings/etc., refactor any 'magic numbers' into constants, that way they will be in one place

I think the point is that Soylent also accounts for all the various nutrients you would want in a balanced diet, and does so conveniently and affordably. I would have to consult my doctor, but my guess is that a Coke and pickled egg would m

I came here to mention exactly this. A lot of the comments on this thread also seem to corroborate their general reaction to it (assessment of taste, bodily response, etc.).

I get a certain amount of joy in the terms in which these products are referred to due to the background of the founder as an engineer and, I assume, the audience that seems to champion it. Something about referring to a food product in ter

Has this been fixed since you posted this? I'm not sure which fields you are referring to.

Agreed. I suppose it makes the aggregate result a bit more tidy, which makes it easier to show that most people had relatively the same idea about the relationship, but for me at least having that dot to strive for in the middle skewed my p

Interesting, somehow I just instinctively moused over the text when I first visited the page. Another example of the subjectivity of UX and need for UI to be explicit and versatile I guess.

Okay, I can see that I suppose. My thought was mostly that, if each individual is expected to be running the extension then they are pretty likely they are in a situation where everyone has some easily accessible form of communicating with

And on top of that what sort of people are wanting/using this sort of thing? The url/image/etc. can be just as easily sent over an Instant Messaging service or email as you said with the bonus that you are not interrupted in

And whoever wrote it out took the time to follow syntax. Although I think this is actually Scheme? Defining a function in Lisp is slightly different if I recall.

The magicNumber entry of the "head" table caught my eye, but I'm unable to find anything about what it's there for beyond "Set to 0x5F0F3CF5." Does anyone know any more about what purpose this serves, or is it

These are all roughly a year apart and it's a very interesting article. I don't really see a big problem with reposts that far apart to catch newcomers' eye.

T7t? I'm not familiar with that term and my Google-fu is apparently not strong enough.

I think the bigger takeaway is that the law as it is is much too broad. Certainly if this kid is a repeat offender for this there should be consequences for him, but a felony? If this really is as simple as using a known password then I thi

Actually the movement of your cursor alone can go a long way to telling whether someone is a bot or not[0]. The ACM linked a better article a while back that went more in depth about it, but there is more going on with that click that meets

WalMart seems to be often cited as the biggest competitor in this market, but I don't find it very compelling as an alternative. I know many people who do not shop at WalMart for numerous reasons, e.g. their labor practices[1]. The fac

I recall some minigame-esque loading screens in some old Dragon Ball Z games and wondering why more games did do something similar. It's interesting to see there was actually a reason beyond simply missed opportunity.

> At least it's cheaper than prostitutes. I think there are a few more moral issues with prostitution than its market value.

That's a good point, the recent push by Microsoft towards mobile devices has undoubtedly led to significant improvements. Without some hard data I am certainly being speculative, just speaking from experience.

Sure, but Linux can also generally run much more efficiently than Windows. I think having Linux on the cheap version could conceivably be both a cut in licensing fees and also a way to make economy hardware specs viable.
