In the last few years most of the Ivy League schools have quietly gone to a complete coverage for students in need of financial aid. Harvard is among those who do. Turns out the problem is now further down the academic scale. Source: http

To pick an example, as a kid I read Ender's Game Because it was SF and had a cool cover. Now, because of the odious nature of the author's personal politics, I don't read his books. This is entirely his own fault, but if he w

The generally accepted definitions center around the use of violence to incite political change or polticial pressure by nonstate actors. Word in varies but that's the general gist. I know that the word gets thrown around a bunch, but

Serious question, what state is this? I have only voted in 3 states. All of them treated voting day like any other work day.

That's a bit like arguing the second brightest kid in your middle school class could be smarter. Technically correct, but mostly a falsehood. There are a whole lot of cities out there, few of them are more expensive than the bay area.

You should look into the digital humanities. Basically, its a big basket, at least on the US side of the pond, where all that stuff goes. The downside is that you are probably not going to get your MS in CS through it.

In my mind there are several valid options out there now: 1. Regex style: new match(input, options); or built in function match(foo, bar); or like switch match (foo){ cases } But, to have the switch statement syntax and return a value se

I rather like your syntax compared to the proposed version. It is less concise but must more consistent and parsable: return match(user, [ [{first: $, middle: $, last: $}, (f, m, l) => f + ' ' + m + ' '

I would argue that it doesn't feel like JavaScript much which seems bad.

Its an interesting concept but, The choice of syntax seems bad. The definition bit looks like a function definition but behaves entirely differently. Why? Why not make it a constructor like everything else? People could look at it and be li

The problem comes once you leave and that 500 red alert goes. You want to give the person after you enough time to figure out what is up and fix it before your boss's boss's boss rolls in with a head of steam. It is gonna fail eve

I have been using open street map in one of my projects and am considering dropping it. I had the fun experience last week to discover that this was one of the cities in north Texas. https://i.imgur.com/BkBcuzN.png The &quo

I agree with headless chrome. I have used it with a locally hosted extension to allow easy access to dom and JavaScript after load. Then dumped results to a node app. Was very happy with the results.

This is the sort of language feature we should all be implementing. I can imagine myself hunched over my keyboard at 3am swearing quietly and trying to figure out why the hell this is happening to me right now.

This is the judgement in question. It has no bearing on free speech and should not be presented as doing so by anyone. If you can find a different case involving Akins on July 25th you are welcome to link to it instead. http://me

Most of the time when you see a headline like this it's worth reading the actual judgement. They are publically available. http://media.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/17/07/163555P.pdf

It always seems odd to me that people are excited about .net coming to Linux or osx. Mono has been around for so long I can't remember when it showed up, 2001? As far as I know mono's been feature complete for a decade or more. .n

This is stuff like there is JavaScript regex that checks for an @ character in an email and in the back end code. There is no reason to not do both.
