French bread is made using a special oven with a steam injection at the start of the bake.

Yes, it is. In the rest of the world it's called a pizza because that's what it is.

What's strange is Europeans are constantly told that everything is so much cheaper in the US. I used to earn that median salary according to current exchange rates, and I had an incredibly comfortable life. Owned my own car. Never worr

Homo sapiens has continued to exist without government for far longer than it has existed with government. But existence isn't really the point. Quality of life is what matters. But this is very hard to measure. I imagine quality of li

I actually wrote one of these myself years ago. I never finished it up for general use because I thought "someone must have done this already" so I just left it as a "util" buried in some project. I always seem to think

Oh, I see, tig puts merges on one line. I used two for some reason. I think I was copying git graph too closely and missed that opportunity. It would be rather easy to modify my elisp version to be like tig. When I was testing mine the wors

I wrote a graph renderer in emacs lisp a few years ago [0]. It never got included in magit because my code wasn't very good. I'm not sure it would have been better for complicated graphs than the standard git log one, though. Do y

Definitely yes. Use evil if you have to. Then check out org-mode and magit and you'll never go back.

They look about the same as Windoze 10 to me, and they do seem to have stuff in them, so not completely redundant. I still don't like it, I like extremely minimal window borders (I hold alt to move windows around). But you can get that

Some people do understand. That's why many countries have made their own independent "GPS" systems.

I've forgotten so much about networking. I just haven't had any need to use the knowledge since I learnt it in university. Back then I borrowed a copy of Tanenbaum's Computer Networks and it was great. I considered buying a

There are many good reasons to go vegan nowadays. I am beginning the transition.

I only know about Germany because it's stated in the manual of my '05 Civic so I guess other countries have adopted it since.

Yes but they shouldn't be doing it near people's houses. Concrete mixers are supposed to go directly to the construction site and deposit their load on time.

It's actually illegal in Germany to do this. And yeah they sometimes get extremely low temperatures. In modern cars you are supposed to drive immediately which will warm things up more quickly.

Do they really stop everywhere unconditionally? In the UK almost all stops are by request, for both boarding and alighting.

Some of my teachers knew how to touch type. We were never taught. Nowadays I work with people who type with two fingers. I'm 30 and live in the UK. The ball has been dropped on computer skills. Anyone can say they "know Microsoft

I think they do even if they don't know it. After all, GNU/Linux is the way it is because it is FLOSS. You might just as well say people don't use cars because of the wheels.

But note that it's up to the community to decide what the interesting points of a study are, not necessarily the authors.

I can't think of much more condescending than applauding women for dealing with a completely normal fact of life. Women could applaud themselves for it, but they don't because they just get on with it. Should we also applaud men f

It's not really the best, though. The article cited to back that up compares Google only to Apple maps and almost entirely focuses on building shapes which add little useful information to the map. Proper street geometry seems more imp
