Does anyone know something equivalent in Australia (preferably Sydney)? I'm not sure if I'm constitutionally built for running a startup but given that I've worked at a few and have lived through the craziness without much of

This is an interesting bit of history. There was a 99pi episode about time zones recently that mentions 'Xinjiang Time', which was (is?) used as a subtle act of defiance in the north west of china [0]. I hadn't realized that

Why do people bother using an engine? Is there money on the line? It just seems pointless to cheat at a hobby.

It seems that the cases moved from 30 million/year in the 1940s down to around 5000/year in the 1990s. This latest announcement is that they've had zero indigenous cases for the last three years.

I think we have a tendency to focus in on small things and ignore the big picture of the improving human condition (driven largely by China, on average, over the last few decades).

Outside of religious concerns for LDS, I'd be interested to hear why people are interested in their family trees. I know one or two anecdotes about my grandparents' parents but have no real interest in learning more about them. Pe

Yeah I agree that the real insight here is firstly that three datatypes is enough to product a linker, and secondly that using this crazy serialization format makes life simpler. It somehow hurts my brain to almost double your file size, bu

I found reading the code cleared up a lot because it's well commented and is really two functions, and a bit of boilerplate for reading/writing files. 'collect1' collects pairs of (name, address) and puts it in a table c
