Luck is an element, I also think you need a certain amount of psychopathy. You need to bs a lot of people, be single minded to the extreme. I'm not saying it's universal, I'm always surprised how people look up to successful

So I'm personally responsible if you rape someone, based on some nebulous concept that men and only men are responsible for policing men. And then you choose the phrase "not every man is a sexist" it seems pretty sexist to me

>moving Confirmation to before first Communion Yes that will fix it. My gf did confirmation because you get loads of presents, which is an easy sell to a child.

Not necessarily. At the very least an 18 year old who has been forced to fend for themselves is very different to an 18 year-old who still lives at home and has their mum do their washing. I know who I'd rather employ.

For UK readers, and perhaps others, they mean car clamps, not cars that have somewhere to put your shopping.

Cool. I can sort of understand massive banking systems still running on COBOL, I would have thought basic programs small enough to replace. It looks like it's actually embedded in test equipment though? What kind of basic are we talkin

I got 3 out of 10, and one I recogised. Does that mean: A. I'm a sociopath because I'm unable to detect the cues B. An inherently good / naive person that has never needed to differentiate between a programmer and a serial ki

its a quote. would you rather they mis quote? plus its prefaced by blackout, so the context is clearly (electrical) system. Finally it's a headline. You're supposed to read the article before judging whether it's 'irresp

Why storage rather than using when available, eg running fridges/freezers/Aircon slightly cooler, water heaters hotter, charging cars, running the washing machine / dryer. Industrially smelting aluminium, making hydrogen, hea

1. Retirement ages have generally been increasing over the period which should offset this. 2. Immigration is a thing. 3. Kids are labour intensive so if we weren't having kids, maybe that freed up labour depressing wages that are now

The issue is one of the monolithic nature though rather than adding a new abstraction. Adding a new abstraction that allows programs to work together in a better way isn't the issue, it's making a walled garden that you have to bu

Ls -l tells you whether it's a directory. (-l flag available in the first edition) If you want colours you can pipe it through a sed script. If you want to sort it in some way you could pipe it to sort or something. No system is ever g

It's nice that my idea of how to do an 8bit shifter is how it's actually done. No doubt it was patented though, despite me being an amateur programmer and no experience in hardware.

There's a couple of issues. 1. Militaries generally feared their soldiers using too much ammo. Eg the magazine Lee Enfield was only supplied with one magazine, and early on was only intended to be fired single shot with the magazine us

i dont doubt theres an overlap, but theres a peak in demand precisely because people are no longer in their cars. people dont turn the oven/heating/kettle on when theyre in the car.

I've found charity shops good for DVDs and CDs, if only because every so often someone with the same taste gets rid of their collection so you end up with a little cache of "you may also like" but created by an actual human.

Survivorship bias? If it were a car you wouldn't be around to tell the tale. Surely the issue is the scooter on the pavement, not the fact that scooters are allowed.

Banning cars would do the same though, even more so. The issue is one of appropriate spaces, if we actually had decent cycle lanes then I don't think we'd see this issue.

So do you program the keybindings in Forth or lisp? Is the lisp implemented in forth? Or the forth in lisp? Are parentheses forth words?? This hurts my brain. (And/or makes me want to implement a forth in lisp in forth, as a quine)

I think you're missing the point. The source code to the program is available, but the compiler with which to compile that code isn't. To the OP I would say this is opensource. If you received an open source recipe, despite not ha
