I have started to notice a strong anti-professional writing attitude in the last year or so from my US colleagues, so I expect this trend will grow. I think that in general, manipulators have become so good at their trade that people have

I now list all of the open source (applications, libraries, etc) I use at the end of the year and I decide on a bucket of funds and split the donations between the top 5 most important projects to me this year (application, library, etc). G

True, but in a major city in Canada at that age, she will have no problem making friends. Just has to contend with her first winter. Otherwise her timing coudn't be better, with diplomatic relations being the disaster they are now.

I think this behaviour is caused by the wrath of the hivemind. I imagine that it is common in reddit users to have a separate account for posting as an insurance against hivemind rage which can be invoked easily for unexpected reasons. An

Great move. I recently experienced the whole Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Python 3.5 and 3.6 on my system and it is just plain messy. Yeah, they can co-exist, but now I have 3 versions of Python. How many people didn't know better and have hav

I was surprised there isn't a mature open source / hardware design, but maybe everyone thought it wasn't worth the effort with local connectivity to their Logitech Harmony. Maybe now is the time.

Other people, preferably without skin conditions. I used the traditional approach. It's anecdotal, but I've noticed a correlation over the years.

Reason without memory and facts is used every day to promote idiocy and wrongs. It's a long read, but one of my favourite books: VOLTAIRE’S BASTARDS: THE DICTATORSHIP OF REASON IN THE WEST http://www.johnralstonsaul.com&#x2

They just need a leader with ethical qualities. They have always been lacking there, and birds of a feather...

When I bought my Volt, I found myself explaining the car to the sales guy. GM/chev did no training of sales and the dealers get far less maintenance revenue.

From my estimation, they are going to kill King Street, it feels deserted and the bars and restaurants are very quiet during weeknight evenings. These changes were made 24 hours a day, not just during rush hour. It makes driving complicat

It says in the article that it was an Anton Pillar Order. They scewed it up though, everything said by the defendent was ruled an interrogation and thrown out. Most of these companies are not run by very bright people. Their businesses ar

When receiving a call from your bank's contact centre, always thank them, hang up and call the number on the back of your card. This should be the standard advice from banks to their customers.
