I have three (US and two EU countries) and as far as I am aware the biggest hurdle is paying for multiple passport renewals.

I like it because it isn't quite as self-referential as it at first seems: the notion of gravity that it requires is not the notion of gravity it is explaining: it uses the colloquial and accessible idea of gravity (i.e. "things f

It's not just about modifying the data, but also about anyone on your network or between you and the end-host being able to determine that you visited that site, and what pages you visited, and when. The common refrain is to think abou

Gosh that page has infuriating scroll behavior. Maybe it's supposed to implement smooth scrolling, but it somehow gets confused as to where the scroll actually is, which means any scroll attempt including using the keyboard flickers

This is a bit of a nitpick, but when you say Computer Science I think you mean Software Engineering and/or Computer Engineering. These are very different fields, and Computer Science is by-and-large agnostic of any actual physics. As a

Answering your own questions is also explicitly allowed -- you are informed as such on the page where you ask questions. By the sound of it, I suspect expect that what the parent drew fire for was answering his own question using a comment

I suspect from your comment that you didn't go through and submit the form on the page. It doesn't give you questions to ask to make yourself look good, but gives you questions to ask to get the "real" answers to things

I have cloth seats that are heated as well. I drive a 2015 Chevy Volt with the non-premium package (i.e. no backup camera, etc.) because the premium-package comes with a shiny white center console which is downright blinding in the sunlight

Google's mono-repo is interesting though, in that you can check out individual directories without having to check out the entire repo. It's very different from checking out a bajillion-line git repo.

Interesting -- it was a fresh install on a Nexus device that had never had Firefox on it before. I'll explore the UI options.

My primary issue with Firefox on Android is that in portrait mode, the URL bar has enough width for about five characters -- the rest being taken up by the back / forward buttons to the left, a magnifying glass icon, the QR code icon,

Let's Encrypt has been of enormous service to me. It's not just about saving money -- it's about changing my perspective and expectations to "encrypted by default". Thank you so much.

This is one of the biggest ones for me. Also known as "are you going to make me rewrite my damn application every time you think you had a good idea". I just looked back at some old web projects from about 6-7 years ago that I&#x2

I find this idea genuinely intriguing. If such an idea were to work, it would need a clear-cut definition dividing the two types of information about a person (since we're talking in a legal context here, and you'd need to be able

Are you suggesting that it would be better if an entity should "own" / be in control of all information about it? I'm not trying to straw-man your argument, but I can't find any other self-consistent scenario in w

10:1 is an amazing ratio. Either your work is of exceptional quality or your userbase / following is very positive and supportive (or both!). Either case takes skill and hard work, so my hat is off to you :)

Projectors are still "dumb", so if you have good curtains or typically don't use the TV when it's super bright it can be a great replacement -- I switched from a TV to a projector about 10 years ago and have never looked

For me, the big sell in Atom's git integration is seeing exactly which lines have been added / removed / modified in the gutter and the minimap, as well as seeing what branch you're in displayed in the status bar. I didn

How long did you try it? I found I had the identical reaction to you -- that it was way too narrow, being used to much wider monospace fonts. It took me about a day to get used to it, and now I love it to death. It's probably not the f

That doesn't really work very easily. Index funds can operate the way they do because a lot of people buy into the same fund. When you buy and sell shares in the "real" market, you do so in whole numbers. If you're going
