Your version, "and there's an even easier way...", does sound nicer than, "If even this is too much effort, ..." There's a difference in tone there.

Came here to say something similar. However, this is true only at a large enough scope. For an essay it shouldn't be a problem but for a slogan it can be and often is. There's a range between the two, and also a range within words

Reading this article I immediately saw a couple of drawbacks. Since then I've thought of a few more. But several of the points made were not lost on me. This article made me think a bit, and I'm still thinking about it. That'

About 10 years ago I was in Italy. Stopped for a quick meal at a kiosk set up in the middle of the airport. The caprese sandwich I got was totally amazing. The flavors! From a kiosk in an airport! Such a simple thing but so, so good. The ot

In 2000 I spent a couple of weeks in the Shrewsbury area, and most lunches were had at small, out of the way village pubs. The food was surprisingly good, both traditional and continental. Not just surprisingly good for England, but for any

I agree with you, but I also still agree with me: Making Delphi or Common Lisp the next hotness is pretty much a lost cause, and has been for a long time. The people using those things tend to be heavily invested in them, and still making m

Jeff wrote about Pascal quite a bit in his columns, as well as some books. He wrote about anything he found interesting, but Pascal was his weapon of choice for most things so he covered it pretty well over the years.

That depends. As long as I've been in the game there have been relatively expensive options. Back in the day I kept hearing about SmallTalk and I saw the price tag in an ad in Dr.Dobbs. Sticker shock! But "serious" pricing is

Theories serve multiple purposes. A theory can be useful to make calculations about things you already know. Or to make predictions about things you don't yet know. String theory has been adapted over time to be able to calculate thing

Yeah, well, we did a lot of things our own way. We tried some things. Some of them stuck, some of them we adapted to suit us, and other things we dropped. > The person typing should not be driving. What's the reasoning behind this?

You're overthinking it a bit. What it does it remove the worry that you're going to starve or have no place to live, or take you from subsistence to a level that you can invest in the future. That's all. Perhaps that's e

You can see M42 with just binoculars! I could get NGC 7635 in my meade LX90 from my light polluted suburban backyard. Really dunno where this moon and planets only thing comes from.

I have mixed feelings. For a return value, retval et al are completely appropriate. Same for count. Tmp/temp borrow meaning from whatever they are a temporary for. These are all fine. But "value" is horrible. You really don&#
