It does seem strange to say "However, there are plenty of languages that don’t provide built in support for such a function, leaving you on your own." and then show examples in Python.

Oh yeah, in the case where you already know the number of characters, a proportional case font definitely gives you more information. That's a good point. I was thinking more of the general case where any number of characters might be

It doesn't really matter how many values turn out to be exactly x pixels across given the type settings, you still have to do an exhaustive search on different numbers of characters to find them. That problem is simplified by a fixed w

When you exaggerate a problem to such a ridiculous extreme, all the other party has to do is say "Oh no, we don't do that at all. Problem solved." This isn't productive. In fact, it's counter productive. Now all the

"can only be used online" doesn't make something not a text editor. The other point is "Save and open" not "save and edit." This is explained in the next paragraph. It's in contrast to the workflow in

Google isn't serving Stack Exchange's pages to you. They published stats on pages served by their own servers. Google has nothing to do with it.

You're off by a factor of 10. I have it at just over 200 page views per second. Also, that's the average load over a month. The same hardware needs to be able to handle peak load.

Yes, the pay is low if you're still a student. It goes up if you've already got a degree, and even more for a graduate degree. If students ask you to do their projects for them, you can always refuse.

Check local colleges to see if they offer tutoring to students in CS courses. Many universities offer the service free to students, but they still pay tutors.

I think we already know that it won't scale well. This is akin to emailing a problem to one person and them emailing you back a solution. This only helps one person at a time. We can help a lot more people if you post your question on

That's a valid point. I'd probably take some heat for that.

> You can if there is a pre-arrangement, or at least the sender and the recipient. That's the point. My dealer and I have that context. The police don't. (Hypothetically speaking, of course.)

How do you know when someone doesn't have a Facebook account? They'll tell you. But at least you won't have to friend them.

> Firstly, the repetition is rap's main ingredient. Sure, within one song. But if an artist has a narrow vocabulary throughout their career, it's a sign that they're just writing the same song over and over.

Sure, I could do that. Or I could just log in with Facebook, Google, or OpenId if they're available. I'd rather have more choice in the matter. Signing up with a third-party log-in doesn't really do much to protect the data y

You can offer to let users log in with Facebook Connect and Google Accounts, etc. If I'm going to try out a new service, I'd rather use one of my existing log-ins than trust a brand new start-up to store my information securely

Yeah, you do have to be crossover-aware before you pick up 50 issues of a title. I passed on an X-Men sale they ran a while back because I remember having to drop that title every summer when I was a kid. They were doing the sale every week

Yes, but before you had a collectible comic. The digital copies really don't have any secondary market value. That said, I love reading comics and I use Comixology heavily. I just usually wait until I can get about 50 issues of a title

The fact that the Obama administration withdrew American troops from Iraq on schedule does not refute the fact that it did withdraw them. He was not just blocked in attempting to transfer prisoners, he was blocked from having them tried in
