For the standard library and such that train has left the station... way too much legacy code and learned knowledge. As to why it happened in the first place: it is from an era when some compilers only looked at the first 8 characters for u

There were absolutely pirates around at this point. Complete with groups (MPG, Apple Bandits, etc.), warez sites (The Safehouse, The Curse, etc.) and whole distribution networks. Admitted it was more computer centered, but pirates still are

I have found setting a routine and scheduled time to do it helps. Put it in your calendar and treat it as you would work. However, if you are finding this to be a consistent and long term issue please see a councilor. They can help and diag

He said it is "equal to" not that it accounts for. I believe the analogy is valid, though can be easily misleading.

I think a better phrase would be self-deterministic, meaning that the action is determined regardless of external influences. However, I will admit, that sounds a lot like free will.

As someone that views Twitch every day I can say I never watch the entirety of a stream. You drop in and view when you have time. It is less akin to watching a TV show and more like going to your friends house and hanging out to watch some

And yet for some reason I have to tell them my account number after I have already entered it on a keyboard. This frustrates me beyond belief as it says to me they have disparate software systems that don't talk to one another.

Given that if you write more than three paragraphs you get slammed with "I'm not reading that wall of text" and that "tl;dr" is a thing, is it surprising that people are employing the short form instead?

Insurance != Gambling. You will not get more out than you lose. It will only make you whole. You may get more money out than you put in, but they are compensating you for a loss. You are paying for risk mitigation, not potential profits.

The difference is the effort involved to get to the "gambling". With loot boxes, packs, slot machines, whatever you put your money in, start your process (open the pack, pull the handle) and watch the outcome. With an MMO you have

Lest you are in too much of a bubble realize there are many people that live in areas with poor or absent internet. I suspect there are, in fact, people under 40 that get their news from local television. You may also want to reconsider tha

I say get rid of the Oscars and the Emmy's. They are both tied to release mediums which have NOTHING to do with the artistry of what is produced. Perhaps it is time for something new?

When you purchase something you have the right to resell it. You aren't purchasing a license, you are purchasing an item, in this case two items: a DVD and a Digital Copy. So just like if I buy a living room set I can now sell the couc

To be fair being racist is more than an opinion, it demonstrates your character. It reveals part of who you are and the framework with which you deal with the world. I agree that it is valuable knowledge in determining who you want to creat

Just FYI the average default rate for the 2014 Cohort was 11.5% but that varies WIDELY depending upon the school from 0.10% to 56.20%. Official numbers can be found at: https://www2.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/defaultmana

Also laid out quite well in the 1990 movie "Mindwalk". [1] A movie still worth watching even though it is dated. 1. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100151/?ref_=nv_sr_3

You should do the right thing because it is the right thing. However, with speed limits your teacher framed the question incorrectly. There is not right or wrong to a speed limit. 35 miles an hour is no more right than 38 miles an hour. T

I believe you but that is anecdotal. I know people that not only want to remain idle if their basic needs are taken care of but currently do, and have been doing it for decades. Like most human traits, there is a wide degree of variance. As

Visual Studio is a far more full-featured IDE. A more objective comparison would be VSCode vs. Sublime. There you could say VSCode is comparable at best.

The linked page seems to indicate Chrome is leading because people are browsing on their Android phones. So it would seem if Mozilla should concentrate on anything it would be improving the mobile experience.

I agree the article overplays it. Any organization, be it governmental, corporate or private, would probably do the same. If you want their help and they aren't in the business of movie making, are going to probably refuse it if it cas

I am not disputing what you say, but for future reference you can create a bookmark that goes straight to the CS:GO channel. Or follow the channel so it's on your follow list all the time. I do agree that the split has impacted CS:GO,

There are many things that have an inherent worth. This inherent worth stems from their utility. Land will always have a certain amount of worth because you need to put things in locations. Metal has a worth because you can build things wit

Do they own it? If so, yes. Give it back. What they do with it is on them. Crucify them, not the person doing the right thing. If you don't like Blizzard's stance, deal with them, not criticize someone for not achieving the end yo

It's an absolutely simple decision for me to make. It is not mine, therefore I give it back. It's like I taught my children... even if you don't know whose it is, you know it isn't yours. And in this case it is even know

If you want to get that down to "one" check out Sideclicks[1]. A small universal remote that attaches to the fire TV stick remote. Not associated, just a user that appreciates not having to keep track of multiple remotes. [1] = h

There is hardly a single villain in the existing system. Everyone is making a profit that is ultimately at the expense of the citizens. And even despots do some good. It doesn't mean they are any less a villain.

In part. Life is gray, not black and white. There is certainly a grain of self interest because you will feel good having done it. But that doesn't make the act selfish.

I have been in position to hire about 20 people in my career and have asked this question. While I would accept your response and judge accordingly you seem to miss the point of why I would ask it. It isn't to be told that you are a go
