The two are obviously related, though maybe not causally. Over here in Belgium, such prudeness is pretty rare.

The Japanese are a bit special. Japan is hot and humid, and traditionally a lot of the labour would get you wet. It was not uncommon for Japanese men and women to work the fields, or catch fish, naked or nearly naked. In fact, some early We

What do you mean, 'fortunately'?. Not only is it disgusting from a hygiene point of view -- especially wrt sweaty teenagers! -- it's also a great way to come to terms with nudity. With porn as the main source of nudity, it&#x

I use awesomewm, which is, well, awesome. Each of my workspaces has a preconfigured layout: floating for browser, auto tiling for terminals, etc.

I think I'm going to have to change my mind about CBT. It seemed so crackpotty to me, but seems I was wrong! Slim waistline here I come.

Can't say i'm surprised. Their support and communication has been consistently horrible. Their focus on the OS entirely misplaced -- no, more eye candy is not the first thing we need. The platform had a lot of potential, but they&

If you don't need consecutive IDs, use a UUID or a Random UUID if you can get away with it. If you do need consecutive IDs, use atomic operations on a counter (compare-and-swap type increments, AtomicInt in Java, etc). Need to preserve

Yeah. Why not fully sentient androids while we're at it! Do you know how much money museums have? Let me quote you a nice, round number: 0.

Museum software dev here. Museum folks are pretty primitive in a way. Unlike websites, in a museum it's really hard to know which exhibits or parts of exhibits are popular, and which are not. Maybe you have 100 paintings, but people ig

Not sure about MS languages, but some date utils make the distinction: week of year (1/1=1) or week (1/1~=53). Same with year of week vs year, where 1/1 could be year-1 if the year starts in the middle of the week, for instan

Maybe it's time the porn industry got serious about ditching flash. Porn is the only reason why I still use flash, and I suspect I'm not the only one.

TMAP Next is a good read. It's a little heavy, but there are some very insightful chapters on the what and the how of testing.

Oh - my - god! Reckless drivers! Won't someone please think of the children!!!! This is the problem right there.

The real question is: why are kids in the US lacking in independence? Most of what this article says about kids in Japan applies to a lot of countries in the EU as well. Why is the US somehow different?

How is this any better than burning + energy recuperation?

by Tharkun 11y ago
Exactly. You can point to benchmarks that favour one or the other. Parsing is almost never the bottleneck.

OP seems to think that parsing XML is slow. If parsing XML is slower than parsing JSON, you're doing something wrong.

I don't buy the marketing blurn. How are potholes going to be repaired? As for asphalt's CO2 footprint, that's the figure for asphalt mixed with cement. Extracting asphalt and bitumens from crude oil is literally the bottom o

What's wrong with asphalt? It can be easily recycled, it's an otherwise pretty useless component of crude oil of which we have plenty. It can be repaired with relative ease.

I recommend you read The Passionate Programmer. It is full of good career advice. And if it won't tell you what to focus on, it'll help you find out what you want to focus on.

Over here in Belgium, recyclables are sorted by the consumer: glass by colour, paper, plastic/aluminium drink containers, compostables. Whatever is left is burnt for power generation. It's not a perfect system, a lot of plastic es

Can't say I particularly care about what people wear. But I have an interest in footwear and how it relates to human location. In short: heels are bad. The higher they are, the worse. You have a heel in your foot. It's more than a

This is all fine and well if you know that github exposes your keys . Which, at least wheb I added my keys, was not mentioned in a big, red button in the key dialog. Maybe I trusted GH too much by not creating a separate key pair for them.
