Forgot to mention in my other comment, but I always do a fare estimate before actually hailing the Uber to get some sense of what I'm up against.

May or may not be relevant, but if I recall correctly, you can actually inquire with Uber whether or not your driver took the most optimal route, in which case they will refund you the difference.

Of course, I'm merely saying that there might be some benefit that arises from implementing a specification (ES6) into a newer engine vs a legacy engine.

I wonder if Microsoft is actually spearheading the implementation of ES6 in the browser or did they benefit from the timelines of the ES6 specification fortuitously lining up with the development of Edge - or maybe both.

That's an interesting thought - is 780mph at 4000ft worse or just different? It's clear that the lower your altitude, the more air there will be to "interact" with - however, even at an extremely high altitude (with virt

Really puts into perspective (or doesn't) something like Columbia breaking up at somewhere around 14,000mph.

Right right - I'm working on a large framework (built-in ember) where everything is components, hence the appropriateness of rems. That being said, I'm not sure I follow your example about the footnote - I don't see any diffe

by arnold_palmur 11y ago
I prefer using rems over ems, as ems are a pain to deal with for large applications (due to the nature of compounding).

How many private company has more space flight knowledge, patents, or design experience than Boeing? Agreed, do people not realize how involved Boeing is with the commercial space landscape?

by arnold_palmur 11y ago
Except that Boeing is also heavily (and increasingly) involved with commercial space as well, e.g. satellite building, launch vehicles and human spaceflight vehicles.

It may be hard to come up with a direct and specific scenario that would convince your colleague, but I believe the more you know about a language, the more "enlightened" you become on it and are ultimately (albeit indirectly) bet

I "strained" a big red solo cup filled to the brim with iced tea and crushed ice all over the keyboard (seeping out through the other side onto my desk) with the ice remaining on top of the keys like I was sifting gold. Somehow no

I'm also at JPMC and (at least in my department) it's definitely not bring-your-own-device friendly - and as someone who wholeheartedly prefers using a Mac, I feel like I had to bend over backwards to get my PC in a state to where

Seems to be the case all around - I have a "smart" TV and the Amazon video app is astonishingly bad. As a big fan Top Gear, I was really hoping the gang would end up on Netflix.

Second this, as a long OSX & Vim user, cygwin was a HUGE relief for the switch to PC for a new job. Definitely an essential piece of software now.
