> I know density is the way to go in urban development, but... I feel like developers have lost the plot. This is exactly true! A lot of the time, the increased size doesn't even result in increased density - most McMansions are sin

This seems like a neat sed trick, but I'm not sure that it's useful for this particular case? When I write a shell script, I often write a help function if it's not a totally trivial script, but there's no need for this

Generics, no? Philip Wadler, one of the designers of Haskell, was involved with the introduction of generics to Java.

It must be down to accountability. People will break all the rules in the book if consequences are never meted out.

Ah, but the point was about using "their dominance in web search to undercut competing browser vendors". In this case, ~90% of web searches go through Google[0]. So they are using the fact that they are the number one web sear

Hmmm, I'd beg to differ. I lived at home, with my parents, and went to a state school and paid in-state tuition. Found online PDFs of all my textbooks, and I'm still just barely scraping in at under 40,000. This is from 2016 to 20

I purchased a large package of instant dry yeast and keep it in the fridge, in a mason jar. It lasts essentially indefinitely (I've had it for _years_.) Part of the reason it's hard to use chemical leaveners in breads is that they

I've definitely had classes where the homework was optional. In my case it has been higher-level math courses, where there are regular quizzes to verify that you know the material.

As someone who started out working in an open office and now works someplace with half-cubes, I honestly prefer the open office. The ability for an open office to foster pair-programming and intense collaboration was a real benefit, though

That varies by state and circumstance. In some states it's legal to own them, but if you are caught using them or being somewhere you shouldn't be while carrying them it can be tacked onto your charges. Other states it's tota

I think that's an important thing to remember - we can always fork it and move on if they choose to remove the blocking webrequest API. However, how long that fork can persist, remain secure and retain feature parity is an open questio

Right back at ya' from the same link: "Some doubt still remains on whether the reduced amounts of pesticides used actually invoke a lower negative environmental effect, since there is also a shift in the types of pesticides used,

I think you may be incorrect about GMOs actually being more sustainable, as they have a pretty major effect on biodiversity by encouraging higher use of pesticides and insecticides[0]. A great example is the effect they have had on the popu

No one is talking about farming. We're talking about factory meat production and slaughterhouses.

I'm not in a position to do much traveling right now, but I get my kicks visiting small foreign markets here in the United States. Some things you can't get anywhere else, and it's always fun to see what things are considered

I think the author is overestimating the deterrence factor of the justice system. American prisons have a much lower quality of life for their inhabitants than many other countries, and yet we also have much higher crime rates than those co

That ignores the fact that the percentage of the population who smokes has dropped drastically from when measures were put in place. Yeah, those warnings don't stop addicts, but they totally changed the public discourse about smoking,

Crazy to see Richard Binder here. He's one of the big fish in the fountain pen community (though now mostly retired as a restoration expert.) For anyone who is interested in seeing what these are like, I can heartily recommend the Wing

The answer is in the quotes from Batman's Wikipedia page[1] second paragraph in the linked section. Edit: The article is apparently correct re: the origin of Burce Wayne's name. [1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

Most musicians live off the money they make touring and performing. It's rare that a musician makes enough money off of record sales alone.

I think you're underestimating the real estate market. A significant reason new developments cost so much is that the land they are built upon costs so much. For example, in Portland Oregon, where I live, most new developments are bein

I used to work at a grocery store, and actually don't feel the way OP does. Honeycrisp are fairly different, in my opinion. A fair bit tarter, and they have an almost fluffy light crisp texture. They even have a different cellular stru

Note that Linux often has GNU Midnight Commander, a clone of Norton Commander (Far is also a clone of NC.) So, whenever you're in Linux and wishing you had Far, check out MC!

Your parent comment is talking about DLP/SLA printers. Though you are technically correct about FDM being a resin printer, it's not the way hobbyists talk about it.

This comes across as a slightly cringeful explanation of a phenomenon that I'm not really sure is a problem. The author's constant referencing of trendy ingredients comes across as an attempt to sound up-to-date with trends in cui

Also you'd have to control for major. MIT produces a lot of people working in technical fields with a higher average income. Cal State awards a broader range of degrees.
