   After following his rules for a year now and losing 50 pounds with literally no exercise, I'm (further) convinced that healthy eating and corporate interests are completely opposed. It seems everything that makes food more profitable a

   Let's break this up a bit, remembering that assignment is right-associative: $c = 2; # Assign 2 to $c $d = 3; # Assign 3 to $d [$c, $d] = [1, 2]; # Assign 1 to $c, assign 2 to $d $f = [$c, $d]; # Assign [1, 2] to $f

   This is the PHP approach, minus the consistent naming convention. It's very convenient from the developer side to have a myriad of things in the core language.

    I really liked the animations in this article. I found them very useful in visualizing the authors points about the potential pitfalls of various product development strategies, even if they exaggerate the effects a bit. Also neat that they

    All of the invisible buffers/registers/marks/etc makes me wish for a "Vim learner's IDE" -- something to expose the hidden things while you're learning.

    I agree with your post, so thank you for your reply (and congratulations on your habit changes!). I admit my comment was over-stated; intentionally so to combat the popular notion that fat people just need to go to the gym more.

    > move their fat bottoms I wish people would stop repeating this myth. You cannot outrun the fork. Being overweight is primarily an eating issue, not an exercise issue. The calories burned while exercising are minuscule compared to food

    You're not only wrong, you're extremely rude. How many professional PHP developers do you estimate are in the world currently? "no place" indeed. If you've truly taken the time to understand modern PHP and want to d

    Exactly. You don't even need the robot to plant it; crops are planted in rows. Tractors and combines today already track exactly where the plants are planted down to sub-inch accuracy ( http://farmindustrynews.com/accura

    This is a weak argument. No one is saying that smog in cities is desirable. But rather that there is insufficient evidence to show certain interventions are necessary/economical/effective.

    This was my first thought too, but this screws up source maps and I can't think of how to fix source maps when using two transpilers. Any ideas?
