I don't want Bing, though, I want Google. Ignoring the whole hacking incident, does Google pulling out of China actually improve the world in some way? I think "giving customers as much of what they want as possible" is a mor

Well, that was way back in I think around 2005? So I don't remember it too clearly. But I remember a few times where I suddenly lost internet and the people around me said "oh, you probably tried to go to a site you're not

I used to code on the Voyage 200, which also fit in my coat pockets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-92_series#Voyage_200 My fingers were small enough to touch type on those keys. After I grew out of TI-BASIC, I alway

The problem is that ctype_digit does not magically get converted to a string, it instead just returns gibberish. If ctype_digit(100) magically got converted to ctype_digit('100'), that would not be a problem.

41 dependencies isn't even that much. Babel, the most popular transpiler, is 335 total dependencies, and it doesn't even do anything out-of-the-box. You need to add babel-preset-latest for 385 total dependencies if you want to act

I'm Chinese and my relatives and friends use it, so I have. I personally strongly dislike it because you have to set a phone as your primary device. And if you break your phone, all your message history is gone. In theory it has a desk

Nah, 喰 is entirely unrelated; it's one of the few characters Japan invented (most are imported and sometimes simplified from Traditional Chinese). On the other hand, you might recognize 吃 as the 喫 from 喫茶店 (café). The Chinese simplific
