My reading of that definition is that it depends on not being or claiming to have any skill at art whatsoever. Limbaugh can't see the distinction that makes those things art and suspects that nobody else can either; that it's only

Even from the outside this is obviously true. They consider themselves the good guys by definition, because they see themselves as representing justice, as defined by the criminal code. A noble calling. Once you accept that, pure job perfor

A server would not care. It's the devs who need to separate these things.

I've been mumbling under my breath about this since the 90s. The basic issue as I see it is that nobody wants to do the up front work of separating out static, client side dynamic, and server side dynamic. If that work were done then n

I'm not convinced that meaningful regulation in the areas of concern would make it that hard for up and coming competition. Sure, the free-for-all exploitation would no longer be available, but that's not necessarily a startup k

Also note that Los Dos bills itself as New Mexican cuisine (meaning from New Mexico, not Neo-Mexican). At least they used to. I haven't been there in years, though I love it.

Yes, this is true. I have bought things on Amazon from small sellers that were difficult or impossible to find otherwise, or that were only available on a custom site where I was hesitant to give my payment info.

This can be true and still be not so great at the same time. What any company like Amazon tries to do is capture revenue, typically by taking it away from someone else rather than create something new. In the short term that can mean a boon

That's an interesting comparison. As it was put to me by my sensei, black belt is when you have the basics down so that you can begin to learn. So many "learn to code" sites, books, and programs lead people to believe that th

One of the most popular and compelling real world uses of Lua is for embedded scripting. It's easy to embed, it's easy to use, for a scripting language it's blazing fast. I'm sure Lua has other sweet spots, but that&#x27

One potential problem with that is that for many IRC users, many of the "deficiencies" either don't matter or are bonuses. Also, see https://ircv3.net/irc/

Mine is also more than 3 years old. I hesitate to upgrade because I don't want to lose my headphone jack, but also I don't need to upgrade yet because it still runs fine.

My immediate family and I have also made a lot of changes, and I agree that there's a lot you can do with no real sacrifice. I fully support people making these choices themselves. Every little bit helps! That said, there still needs t

That's not a shared office, it's a coworking space or something. I've shared an office with a teammate before, and it was very productive. It was a great mix of heads-down work and the ability to discuss issues/design as

"Universally understood" shouldn't be true for this. I've known a number of people who were on diets to gain weight for medical or self image reasons, and it's known still known as a diet.

I agree, and I've made this point myself in the past. Notability standards do serve a purpose, but it should no longer have to do with a scarcity that doesn't exist to the same degree as with printed material.

Of course it's not really old. Though in my experience age has only a loose correlation to overall code quality. Some really old programs were well architected to start and have been carefully maintained. OTOH, I've worked with

I never meant to imply that 15-20 minutes in vimtutor would make you a vim wizard, or that you'd remember everything that vimtutor went through. There's no quick and easy answer to switching to something that does things in a fund

- administer from your couch While "administrate" is acceptable, it's longer, less common, and sounds a bit awkward to me.

There's a lot of variability here. In the best case, the DSL or abstraction doesn't leak and the effect of the code matches the intent so that you don't need to peek under the hood to make sure it's doing what you want
