There's a question I've had about the citizenship for "investment" programs. It's frequently framed as an investment, not a sale [1]. That seems to imply that there is a chance of getting your money back. So coul

They already have with the neo-n: https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ It does cost a bit more than the U2F-only version, however.

The sensitivity analysis being displayed automatically is a nice feature, as it immediately shows the effects of changes. That's a clever bit of UI that most similar apps don't have.

I like bacon, but it's not my favorite food. It's also never triggered what I think of as a smell, like coffee does sometimes, and oranges have done a couple times. So I don't think I'm getting any of the aroma.

I'm the opposite - I'm a very non-picky eater, and always have been. Mixed flavors don't bother me either.

It's not impolite to ask - I don't mind answering questions about it. "Congenital Anosmia" is the correct term. It's fairly serious when someone loses their sense of smell, and can cause weight loss and depression

Interesting - I don't have a sense of smell (and never have). I don't think I'm at risk of dying from that, however, barring an undetected gas leak. Loss of sense of smell is fairly serious, though, so this isn't too su

My dad prefers his full size iPad to the Kindle too. For him the backlit LCD is a feature, and the brightness and contrast on the LCD is better than the kindle display. My eyesight is better, so I prefer the Kindle for reading text.

You should be able to do something like: Host hosta* hostb* hostc* User usera Assuming you don't have two different machines named hosta with different domain names, it should do what you want.

I've used stow to manage installs under /use/local before, which seems like a slightly easier approach. It does something similar but manages the install as a series of symlinks from /usr/local/bin to /usr

Even if there aren't people who have "Product Manager" on their business cards there's going to be someone acting as a product manager. In my possibly overly-simplistic view, PMs should generally focus on what the custom

I believe Apple's AirPort and Time Capsule products run NetBSD, although it's a little difficult to find a source for that.

Anosmia is much more serious when it's the result of trauma or some other disease - it makes food taste radically different, and is likely to cause depression. That said, I've never had a sense of smell, so I don't know what

It's interesting that you should mention smell, since I was born without a sense of smell - the term is anosmia. It is very poorly studied, and most studies deal with people who lose their sense of smell due to neurological diseases o

Dynamic forms in django are difficult. Personally, I think generalized handling of forms is just a hard problem - I have yet to see a library that handles every case, nor do I know how I'd go about writing one. There is the package wt

In this case STABLE refers to the ABI, not the code itself. RELEASE is code that doesn't change, other than security patches and major bugs. It is confusing, however, but there is some logic to it.
