The 10th man in World War Z was based on an actual Israeli military office called the "devil's advocate office".

It doesn't, because the numbers of time have an independent meaning that people follow that is unrelated to the sun, which is the entire reason that daylight savings time even works: people don't just ignore it and work 9-5 this w

Maybe we should have a hinting equivalent for physical size then (rather than pixel hinting or an entirely different font).

Interestingly in the first audio example of [2] I was able to understand the sentence before listening to the clear version. I've heard other examples of this phenomenon before (perhaps these exact examples on NPR?) and I recall defini

Not really. David Miscavige is well known for harassing (both indirectly and through proxies) and physically beating people and he's generally been pretty successful.

I feel like I would take more than 8 extra seconds just writing out and correcting the package names in imports than I would gain by trying to write Java in vim, and I'm saying that as someone who otherwise uses vim/tmux for every

A bunch of that is wrong or at least misleading. > {} + [] > 0 (The number zero) This is wrong, it is only true in the weird scenario that you type it into the jsconsole and don't use the result. It parses as an empty block ({})

Tabs are considered the same as 8 spaces, so if you ever have a single moment of lax enforcement of "only tabs" or "only spaces" you can get bizarre results.

> Have you read any history? Riots such as these happened all during the late 1960's in response to much worse oppression during the time period. My argument is that we are seeing undirected anger as a hail mary. The people are powe

A black man killed in police custody and large peaceful protest doesn't even register as a blip on any radar. It was a footnote in the media and something politicans ignore practically every month in the US. The riots have very signifi

I don't know that the peak subscriber comparison is fair, UO was released in 1997 when a far smaller portion of the population had the computer hardware / internet to even consider it compared to WoW in ~2005.

No offense intended, but I'm curious in whether you think there is actual expressive value in using those terms? I'm actually about 85% sure that your comment isn't a parody of buzzwords.

The point is that meeting a few people can be an "interview", which is really different than a hardcore structured technical interview. In this analogy, its like showing up to that coffee and immediately start trying to make out w

This is just my one experience (and you certainly know better the needs of your own product) but you are gaining "that looks nice" in exchange for "this is harder to use because the target is smaller and harder to click"

Gmail uses webkit scrollbar styling, they don't reimplement scrollbars from scratch. If you go to gmail in Firefox it uses the stock scrollbars, which is really a major advantage to Firefox in my mind. It's kind of like when Chrom

I suspect that depends on your definition of significant. I suspect any legible code can always get a few percent speedup by doing things that would make it unreadable and unmaintainable.

By going through the dart compiler first they can do optimizations that you wouldn't do by hand. Google runs all their js through their Closure compiler for this (JS -> JS compiler) with a ton of optimizations turned on (constant fo

As absurd as all of those generally are, I don't think any of those are remotely as absurd as retaliation against a teacher for teaching from a book that calls historical colonial slaughter "genocide".

I don't think you understood my point. The word "property" just has two separate definitions in common English, one is the one you are using and the other is verbatim "land" (which happens to be a subset of the firs

I'm pretty skeptical of the claim that liberal students will be "triggered" by teaching out of a book that calls some colonial slaughter "genocide" leading to the professor's career being impacted. It's ha
