Am I the only person who can't listen to anything while coding? My attention goes straight to the music, and I can't concentrate on the task at hand! When I was in high school, my math teacher would play Mozart during tests, cl

You may know of a few individuals who already knew this, but that doesn't discount the gp's word "typically". Most people don't know about it, period. For those who do know about it, unless they have taken an Autom

A few days ago, I wrote about a very similar problem that I'm going through at this very moment. Basically, I recorded myself playing a song that was written 133 years ago, whose composer died 118 years ago. The copyright claim is that

I'm going through a related situation right now, but I'm the one who is the recipient of the negative action. I posted a video of me playing the piano on YouTube. I got a copyright notification, that I was playing the melody to a

I actually thought about this very question when I was writing the story. Truthfully, I don't have an agenda. I can see, though, how easy it would be for someone to use this story to back up their particular viewpoint, when, in fact, i

As I recall, they had their own system for how they stored food, so that they knew what was what. Honestly, I don't remember how they took care of the cooking details, but I remember my father telling me that they talked about one of t

Small personal story: My father is an amazing salesman. He used to sell for Schwan's food in the 90's (those big yellow trucks that delivered frozen food to your door every 2 weeks). He had a blind couple (husband and wife) that

Smartphone addiction is like alcohol addiction. Why do some countries (the USA) have more problems than than others (the rest of the world)? Because in most countries, a healthy, controlled exposure is what most teens experience, so that t

The University of Notre Dame requires that your password be 16 characters long. But only if you are new or are changing your password. Evidently shorter passwords are just fine for the people who have been there for a while. Of course, we

I use this site quite often as a resource that I point my students to when working on their end-of-semester (largely self-directed) coding project, which is often some sort of game. It's very well done!

Nobody is average. OK, that's too short to really mean anything, so I'll elaborate. If you take the average characteristics of everyone in the world (wealth, skin tone, intelligence, BMI, height, gender, etc.), and turned that in
