I find myself doing a mix of both. Source maps are good enough most of the time, I haven't seen the bizarre failures you're seeing - maybe your bundling configuration needs some tweaking? But yes, the frequent re-renders are obnox

Decades and decades of mistreatment are not going to be remedied by some modest handouts. That doesn't mean that UBI as a whole could never work.

I've been using Apple Maps exclusively for a few years now, as I like the turn by turn directions much better, and the UI is more readable to me, as others have noted. My wife seems to like Google Maps better, so we tried it on a recen

I don't think it's inability to distinguish. At least for those in the public sphere, it's a willful disregard for facts entirely, because acknowledging facts would put them in opposition to the president, thus potentially se

I think it is going to be much harder to get Trump to leave after these four years than the last time. I imagine there will be an amendment on the table soon to do away with the two-term limit, if there isn't already. Or, he may just s

It would neither improve nor worsen their chances. I'm only looking for their ability to model a software application. I wouldn't see it as a challenge, as it has nothing to do with the task at hand. If they said "I don'

I imagine the designer was under a set of constraints, for example, only a certain about of linear space was available for the ramp, because of other issues in the area; or maybe there was some budget constraint. The designer may have thoug

Similar to the article's author, I also once got laid off shortly after being hired; three months in my case. I was promised they were on a growth track to nine-figure revenue. One month of down subscription growth, the CEO panicked, a

I recently took a long car trip solo and was able to listen to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety without interruption. It still holds up in that kind of scenario; you almost have to listen to whole thing nonstop to fully appreciate it.

> I'd recommend two overlooked albums of the 70's - Meddle and Animals. I'd even throw Obscured by Clouds in there, which has some straight up rock jams as well as the more moody sound that became typical later.

As a competitive bowler, the index finger is not used at all. The middle and ring fingers are inserted into the finger holes. I think it has to do with the connection to forearm muscles as described in the paper - the middle and ring finger
