What is a zero-gravity desk?

Sheetrock, maybe, but I don't think those buildings (many of them constructed in the 1940's and 1950's) use sheetrock. Plaster, almost certainly not.

Sure (if you think there’s a non-trivial amount a person can drink and still drive safely). But as applied to programming languages?

What would be the difference between “enough” and “too many”?
455.
by cimmanom 8y ago
IMO this is good engineering practice in general. It’s also super helpful for sighted programmers.

Some guesses: to alert nursing staff in a preemie ward immediately (instead of waiting for a scheduled round of checks) when a baby is in pain or hungry or needs a diaper change, etc.

Oh, man, I want this for Firefox.

Yes, it’s a spectacular introduction not just to C but to programming in general.

Even “seducing” them to join a criminal organization in the first place? I don’t know, the whole thing seems shady and to violate the spirit of the law if not the letter of it.

How is this not entrapment?

In what way is your thinking unclear?

Easter egg? Are you trying to suggest that’s not a bug, it’s a feature?

GP is suggesting the burger place become a source (or maybe a conduit) of philanthropy, not a target.

Why would you even interview in the first place with a company you didn't want to work for?

How much light do you get (and of that, how much is artificial vs. natural?) How much space do you have? How often do you want to have to water it?

Some online food/delivery ordering services (Grubhub comes to mind) have widgets that restaurants can embed into their website to display their own menu and allow visitors to order for delivery or pickup. Combine that with a static sit

If you have a college degree, list that but not your major. If you have no degree, omit the section. The goal is to avoid including anything that would give them an excuse to reject you without speaking to you. If you don’t state anything a

I’ve read about research that suggests that tasting sweet things causes your body to release insulin in anticipation of a boost in blood glucose. With artificial sweeteners, that glucose boost never occurs, but the insulin is in your bloods

To be fair, NYC density statistics are skewed by Staten Island, which is large, suburban (by NYC metro region standards) in development patterns, and peripheral to the city in many ways. If you stick to the other four boroughs, my understan

I think the term you’re looking for is “gantt chart”.

by cimmanom 8y ago
This only applies to cities where walking isn't a default way to get around. Walking around most parts of NYC is perfectly safe at night in part because the presence of other pedestrians deters crime.

The idea of a semi that isn’t loud scares the hell out of me as a driver and even more as a pedestrian.

I assume they have some sorts of minimum deposits and outlays?

by cimmanom 8y ago
Maybe it’s just the catalogs that offer that? I remember from childhood my mom ordering my dad shirts from Lands End using those measurements.

Aren’t men’s shirts produced with independent chest/shoulder/waist/neck measurements?
476.
by cimmanom 8y ago
Men at least can get shirts with shoulder, chest, and waist in any combination of proportions. Women just have S/M/L, never mind that not only do our waists vary in thickness relative to our shoulders and hips but we have an enor

Regarding bras: If you had your boobs made, they're probably pretty close to the exact location and proportions that bra makers expect. But if your boobs are broad rather than projecting; or set closer or further apart than the typica

License plates use a very limited set of glyphs. There are plenty of programming fonts that make it trivial to distinguish the letter O and the number zero. Or distinguish uppercase i from lowercase L from the number one. Etc. Arial is not

by cimmanom 8y ago
That sounds more like a poor choice of font than anything.
