Western countries generally only invoke extraterrestrial jurisdiction in matters concerning basic human rights. Laws criminalizing sex with minors oversea are arguably domestic implementation of international law. Sexual slavery is not a ch

I did this back in my college days. I wrote to AMD and they were kind enough to send me two cases of defective wafers plus a used bunny suit. That the students could hold the discs in their hands definitely made an impression. Another big a

You know who else was called a savior? The guy who annexed Czechoslovakia. Bad things happen when people value expediency uber alles.

A service like BlaBlaCar (in Europe) is what can legitimately be called ride-sharing. Uber is fleet of pirate taxis.

One word: baseball. Love of the sport is what makes Americans different from other nations. One man facing the opposing team. With one swing of the bat you can win it all, overcoming limits imposed by the playing field itself. Making techno

That seems to suggest people in China are receiving deliveries from restaurants within walking distance. Quality of food gets worse the longer it sits in a portable container. Chinese food especially. Deliveries are unlikely to travel much

That'd probably run afoul of NLEA rules on health claims. You can't imply that your product is somehow healthier than others without actual proof.

I don't remember my initial impression. I just remember how 10 minutes later I was trying the hardest pretending I had just stumbled onto pictures of naked women by accident LOL.

Anyone here ever used the web-browser that comes with GeoWorks/New Deal? Pretty amazing software. In the late 90's I was studying in Poland. In the computer lab of my dorm there were two Windows PCs and half a dozen text terminals

But general tendency is to go from specific to the general. That's because single name is often enough to uniquely identify something in a given context. If I say "10 Downing Street", you'd know that I'm referring t

The computer can easily traverse in either direction. I don't know see any technical reason to list identifiers in that order. No linguistic reason either. We don't do that for addresses in the real world. We don't say "

The more I think about about it the less I like this new feature. They should have implemented BigInt as a class instead and rely on a transcoder to make algorithms easier to write.

The lump of labor fallacy get pushed by journalists because it's actually operative in their field. Technological advances were not accompanied by demand for higher quality. If anything the lump has arguably gotten smaller.

Persistent memory can greatly reduce application start-up time. In SaaS usage that's pretty important. Downtime during software updates is a big headache.

Programming paradigms are like diet plans from weight-loss companies: most of the time they're just the original problem repackaged as a solution--with a snazzy name and aspirational slogans. The difficulty of the endeavor basically ge
