Lighter??? You mean thin? Lowercase is what, short like the 'x'? That is exactly the opposite of a good programming font. These characters should be extra-tall. They should go at least as low as any other ASCII character, and at l

The difference being that the FAANG-type companies don't pay well enough to make up for the cost of living. Senior engineers seldom want to live in tiny apartments. See if you can prove me wrong: find a 10-acre lot within a half hour c

I'm fine with the child and dog being considered unequal, but why isn't one a subset of the other? It could be: cruel to euthanize either It could be: cruel to let either one suffer an agonizing life It could be: cruel to euthaniz

Four years is nothing. That you seem to think this is a long time is telling. My tech stack dates back to 1972, with the last major update in 1999 and the last notable minor update in 2011. That isn't even a particularly old tech stack

I just want to know, how is it simultaneously: 1. cruel to keep the suffering dog alive 2. cruel to euthanize the suffering grandma or child ??? In either case, refusing to follow that norm can get you a prison cell.

UT1 is a disaster for many purposes. It is, quite simply, a measure of the Earth's current angle in space. This is ideal for pointing an Earth-based telescope. Trouble is, we can't reliably predict how fast this will tick. You may

In this case, bad measurements are OK. They average out over time. If the bias is one way, then one type of agent (seller or buyer) gets a bit more pay than the other, but this is not a disaster and is compensated by agents competing to wor

You seem to have missed the point of the appraiser. The market clearing price is not set in stone. It is determined partly by the actions of the agents. The appraiser's estimate of the market clearing price would set a measuring point

The trouble is, your incentives are all wrong. If the house would not sell at $900000, would sell in 15 months at $800000, or would sell in 3 months at $700000, or would sell in 2 weeks at $600000, what do you do? You try to sell it for $60

I'm not sure, but I think it had to do with paying for fighting the French.

In most cases, you aren't bound to that payment schedule. I paid off a 30-year mortgage in 8 years, using one income, and I wasn't trying all that hard. Being a city person, you might not realize that the rest of us are getting ho

You ignore that individual humans will change their political opinion as they age: Every year more and more remainers become leavers. This isn't the sort of thing where you can just wait for the leavers to die and then you win. Someday

The fun one is the right to shut down the entire house of commons, including the prime minister. That leaves her running the whole show pretty much, though oddly without the right to raise funds via taxes.

Well, nothing is stopping the Republic of Ireland from following the UK. The EU can't even really do anything about it without starting a war, so a sudden surprise exit is entirely possible. This would solve the border issue. Things wo

They can be subjects, nationals, and/or citizens. Those are all distinct and all still valid, and it is possible to qualify for more than one at the same time. Including those of us who don't qualify for any of them, there are 8 p

The situation is certainly different for any country that uses the Euro. The UK could leave with far less trouble than Poland or Ireland could.

Are there any cars with non-plastic headlights? Do any have a crystalline front surface to maintain polish? Example: fused-silica glass with a sapphire coating.

It's just a few free ideas. I'm thinking you or anybody else could have fun and/or create a profitable business.

I find it astonishing that the disease risk doesn't lead to a strong aversion to having contact with other animals for any purpose other than reproduction. This is especially true for cannibalism. In the wild, antibiotics are not provi

You need to rig this up to an actuator. There are lots of things you could do with that. You could detect when a machine pistol is getting uncontrollable muzzle rise, then stop it until the trigger is released and reapplied. You could hold

It's something like that. The study picked conservative news sites, then showed that various groups were more or less likely to spread that news. The most obvious finding in the study is that conservatives were more likely to spread th

It's mighty hard to prove that a building has never contained a basement. It could be constructed in secret, used, and then filled in. You'd need to dig it up like an archaeologist would, examining layers of soil for signs of dist

Having seen some of Podesta's emails, it seems likely that the pizzeria is a codeword for some other location. Normal people don't rent specific numbers of pizza slices by the hour.

The old "net neutrality" did nothing directly for end users. It did not ensure anything for all views. Before it was even terminated, mass censorship (privately by the internet giants) had already started. Instead, it benefited th

Older generations didn't trust things on screens. They cursed at things on screens. They could and did seek alternative opinions, though often it cost more. Subscribing to newsletters has long been an option. For example, the John Birc

I prefer things old-style. The time and place: as soon as you show up, you check the bulletin board to see the list of names with grades. I gather that this is now frowned upon, but real publicly observable competition is a huge incentive t
