Don't forget about two car households. We have an x1 and an i3 as our commuter car. The i3 will eventually be replaced with a Tesla, the x1 will not.

In Apple's case, no, because their growth over the last decade is insane. But to be clear that table you posted shows that $1 in 1977 is worth $4.40 today. That is a big difference, mostly cause by the insane inflation of 1979-1981 (

It makes sense for artists, designers and painters included. This simulation looks like oil paint, and this type of color picker is like mixing pigment to get a hue and then mixing in black and white to change the saturation and value. I gu

That's a pretty common HSL-style color picker. It's great for artists and designers who think in those terms. Curious, do you have much experience in graphic design, or no?

There's growing evidence that breathing is linked to brain activity in interesting ways [1]. There's also the "4-7-8" breathing technique that is supposed to help you fall asleep faster. [2] On top of that, concentrating

Have you tried reducing carb intake? Particularly in the later part of the day. I've gone "keto" 3 times for about 6 months each, and my sleep is always excellent during those periods. When I looked into it I found that eleva

I believe that we have control over our personality. Like exercise (to change your body), changing your personality takes time and conscious effort. You need to dedicate time every day for honest self-reflection, self-awareness, meditation,

You're saying that buying fake followers accounts for a 360 million user discrepancy (from 10%-30%)? Only a small subset of app developers, page maintainers, etc, buy fake followers, and most people are not app developers. And FB del

Facebook is an ad platform on top of a social media network. It's correct to measure those OAuth users as active, because they're still being followed around the web (any site that uses the FB platform, which practically is most

They, like most companies would, decided that getting it out to market quickly was more important than delaying a half or full year to "get the engineering right". But that's some kind of logical fallacy, because engineering

They shut down because they couldn't secure series B funding. It's likely that they couldn't both make next payroll and also deal with severance and shutdown costs. Hard to hold on for a few more weeks if you can't actua

The entire crux of my argument is "know the stakes". And you're forcing the argument away from the general case to the high-stakes case. Not all crypto is used in high stakes situations, and you don't need a high stakes

That's a reductionist ("Period.") and a strawman position. It's unfortunate that you invoked the responsibility of the engineer in your argument: I went to engineering school. I have two degrees in mechanical engineering

There's serious pushback against rolling your own crypto. Your attitude towards it is good, but the hivemind-y attitude is to never do it under any circumstances. I'm sure that attitude prevents many people from experimenting and

It's possible that when switching to PHP7 opcache was enabled by default, whereas it may not have been beforehand. Most likely opcache is responsible for the autoloading improvement. That said, a faster parser and intepreter would do a
