I remember back in the day we used to do that the other way around ;-) That said, I do think it makes sense to have both physical and digital copies regardless of which one you buy!

I've been using i3wm for years and have recently started doing deeper dives into the sorts of things that you can do with what's either already installed or easy to add (e.g. rofi for input, conky for display) [edit to complete th

I love it! Reminds me a bit of the protagonist of Aphyr's Verb-ing the Technical Interview series, with the parentheses of salt and bough of cloud pine and deep arcane knowledge.

Hmm,that could be--I've been doing this long enough that I've probably forgotten some of the things I struggled with. It feels like it would work to say, "Here's this graph of a sine curve, and what that means is if you

I think in some ways functional programming is easier to understand conceptually; it's a closer match to how I think about things. Like if I want to transform an array, I don't think "I want to create a new, empty array and

Oh, yes that makes more sense (I don't know whether it's correct or not, but it is far more plausible!)

That would violate the conservation of energy. Put simply: The energy that is released from those CH3 complexes has to be put back into them to make them be CH3 complexes again. Otherwise you could, for example, heat your house by burning t

Yes, I believe that's correct. If any of the services that you are opening/exposing in this way contain vulnerabilities, those could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to the hosting machine. Attackers could then use the com

I appreciate your sharing your perspective, but you've made a few comments that I find extremely overgeneralized that I'd like to respond to. But first, I'll begin like you did: As a publicly-schooled kid who considers mysel

I mostly do cookies, quick breads, and cakes, but I don't think I've ever used corn syrup in my baking (not even for frosting) and definitely not high fructose corn syrup! Your other points seem sound, and are things that I would

Thank you for the clarification; that's a much more compelling argument, and I think I am inclined to agree. I believe, however, that that is not what Hickey is saying. He's not saying "previously you could pass null and it

I usually add one or more reset functions, and then I can customize whatever state I want to return to.

One of the big benefits of using functions is encapsulation: the idea that you (as the caller) do not need to understand how a function does what it does, you just need to know what it does (perhaps along with some performance guarantees so

At 27 I had not accomplished particularly much. I had one solid accomplishment under my belt from my first two years out of college and then bounced around for the next couple of years. I had just accepted a new position at a large, prestig

Probably in the "zero[0] marginal cost to owner" sense. They already paid for them; that cost has been sunk. If they aren't using them (and while I don't have citations to back this is, I'm confident that the majori

My go-to for quick-but-slightly-involved calculations--I love having an HP-48 in my pocket! (and honestly, I appreciate the slightly-smaller form factor better than the original ;-) )

Got it, thanks for the correction!

I am not a lawyer, but I think Terms of Service only apply if you want to... continue receiving/using the service. So even if it the TOS does have a forced arbitration clause and OP takes FB to court instead, I believe that would

Perhaps it is my ignorance about the data-driven aspects of Deming's work, but it does not seem particularly paradoxical to me that one might achieve success in business by monitoring and measuring the heck out of things and then react

I think that's an important point that too many people gloss over, and I want to emphasize it with an example. Let's say the cutoff between 10 and 12 percent brackets is at 10k. If you make 10k one year, you pay $1000 in taxes. If

I got the impression that the reason the author chose JavaScript was not necessarily with the intention that people would go full-bore FP with it, but more as a way of "meeting people where they are"; JavaScript is widespread and

TL;DR different modes of thermal transfer can transfer heat at different rates. There are a couple factors at play that help it absorb heat faster: 1) Convection rather than radiation. As the hot gasses travel through they stove they are in

I'm pretty sure parent wasn't talking about Nintendo's software tooling, they were talking about the machinery to assemble the hardware. From that angle, I suspect that Nintendo would not be able to simply order something

That's because it is a broad spectrum source; it includes a lot of red, but it looks yellow/white because of all the other frequencies that are also present. So if you need to be exposed to just red light it won't work we
