The media outrage is because the federal government has failed to clean up a project started ~30 years ago. Every time something bad happens (tunnel collapse, workers speak out when the federal gov't shafts them on health issues) it&#x

ugh, the timer! Do you use the chronograph watch face too? I always accidentally hit the stopwatch and 3 hours later realize it's been running the whole time.

I think I have the newer iWatch, so I'm unsure about previous models, but I can get a full two days of use out of it. It's actually a bit of a downside for me since I always forget to recharge it :-)

Depends on the meds. I've only had a 'downer' (strattera) that made me feel almost comatose. It helped me focus a lot, definitely. But only by kinda 'blurring out' or 'graying out' the rest of the world th

The best way to describe ADHD is: The TV is always on, but you don't get to choose the channel . Some things are easy to focus on—I can sit down to program for a bit and lose track of time for 5 hours. On the other hand, if something

entirely depends on the definition of "understand". superficial understanding you'll forget in a couple weeks? sure. but nothing more, unless you're some sort of savant.

Well, part of the reason I use Amazon is how little free time I have. Amazon has lots of stuff that I either can't find elsewhere or don't have the time to go and purchase in-person.

Some of our services are basically just a Dockerfile and an executable. Shrinking a 14MB binary to 3MB takes 10 seconds with upx and is just another step in our build process. I'd rather send or receive a 3MB file instead of a 14MB.

plain cat (no options) uses max(128 * 1024, st_blksize) aligned to page_size for reads and writes. so you get the best block size for reads and writes. I can't speak to what the shell does, though.

I'd be fine if each state requiring ID to vote provided free licenses. States run elections, so it'd make more sense to pass on a federal ID card and just allow states to make their own should they require ID to vote.

Sorta. I write mostly Go (some JS, PHP) and I got 6/10, forgetting mostly stupid stuff like passing (-INT_MIN, -1) to #12. But some of those are prevalent in Go. For example, 1.0 / 1e-309 is +Inf in Go, just as it is in C—it'
