This is misleading to the point that I would consider this lying to the audience. It's just wrong to convey the data in this way. The note below the graph does not make this OK. If anybody is interested in the actual data, I think the

The last image in the post, which is in section 1.3.2.2, has an image formed from random numbers. For some definition of random. I imagine you would get different results by choosing how the randomness is applied.

However, it is a lot more intuitive compared to gdb: Click the green arrow. Click the line you want to set a breakpoint on. See where you stopped in the same editor that you wrote the code in. Hover your mouse over variables to see their va

I'm not familiar with RoR, but that explicit version is hard to read. However, I think the problem with implicitness is that when it becomes wide-spread, nobody can read the code with ease (i.e. everyone made their own implicit code, a

> Mick wants only the one reporter to be convinced that Mick knows how to pass the wall. I can see how this could provide a justification, but this is not implied in the story at all.

Why wouldn't you just record Mick going in one direction and coming out the other? I had to reread it to understand that they weren't doing that. (I get that that is how this ties things together, but from a story perspective it f

Right, most public computers I've seen would be trivial to bug with a key logger. Though with 2fa, I suppose it wouldn't be quite as bad (but then again, those using public computers might not be using 2fa).

However, the robots were doomed by their limited intelligence and their fervor to produce additional robots. The robots eventually depleted all available resources, thus making the planet uninhabitable for themselves.

There are plenty of digestible summaries of the ACA online[0]. I think it has some things that are very beneficial to the American population, like (trying) to raise Medicaid and offering subsidies for those just above the Medicaid cut-off.

I would also recommend sleeping for the sleep deprived (I don't even meditate), but I just wanted a clarification on the idea that GGP couldn't find 15 minutes in a day to do something.

I don't really understand how your baby makes it difficult to take 15 minutes to meditate, because I would imagine you were sleeping in increments longer than 15 minutes. So why is this? Is the baby waking up when you wake up?
