Wow, I never realized that. [Quick lookup]... indeed, the etymology is from Old English via Old French going back to Latin "recreare" and seems to have had that meaning all along. This comes at the perfect time for me as I've

Exactly. The law should express the intent, not the implementation means, which can—and does—improve over time. Imagine a law mandating SHA-1 in 1999; it would end up enforcing a security problem today.

Very true to all of that. But the live-in servants have been replaced by external servants. People who are expected to be working when at 11pm I decide I want to eat a bite of food, yet are paid below what it takes to raise their own family

I've had 2 Nissan LEAF so far and I don't agree that all EVs are "ugly and undesireable". But I do agree that the i3 looks a lot more like a flashy concept car than a production design.

The irony is not lost on Catholics, who are the recipient of much criticism from Protestants who view "saved by works" as an insult to God's grace. (The theology is actually a mix of both since faith without actions is incons

I'm a big fan of Erlang—and believe it's a useful language to know even if the daily language is something else—but my understanding of D is that it excels in a different problem space (build efficient native code, etc.)

More like you are doing a favor to them, and that should be compensated accordingly. The actual amount should reflect how much the company values this. But the ban shouldn't be anything less than what you could earn elsewhere. So there

I just stumbled on W3's ActivityPub and hope this takes off. If we can combine the independance of publishing and a way to link stuff together, it might go a long way to reduce our dependency on big platforms. https://www.w3

True but I should specify that my targets do the job in 1 to 3 lines. No magic bash. Also, I use javascript where it makes sense: I rely on Browserify to resolve the web of `require`d files.
