My chemistry professor was one of those - though he was a professional unlicensed pharmacologist, if you take my meaning. He found (literal) religion, and went on to graduate school. I wish he'd told more stories; his classes were de

LOL! I'd never seen those, either. Must not be a priority in my region, or I haven't been to a Walgreens recently. But, here's the reason: > front-facing sensors used to anonymously track shoppers interacting with the plat

That's funny, because I grew up canoeing and have never on my own flipped one - other people in the boat doing dumb stuff, of course, or trying something silly in white water (maybe that counts as "on my own"?), sure - but I

I mentioned this somewhere else in my comment history, but I once used Wave with a group of creatives to develop a theatre piece, and everyone immediately "got" how to use it. (We'll not get into the debacle of the next proje

I've set up voip instances, and not liked it, but would be willing to do it again for my kid. I'd not be willing to set them up (and be tech support!) for all of his friends' families. That's the value proposition here

Wave nostalgics of the world, unite! It's the best remote collaboration tool I've ever used, and imo nothing I've seen since has really come close. It still baffles me that it wasn't successful.

Anthropomorphizing sales people involves the same constraints, so I'd allow it.

I think the other top-level posters (at the moment) are missing the meaning "ritual" as defined in the article. (I'm not familiar with Xunzi, so can't comment on its overall accuracy to his philosophy.) In the article, &

Hey, I was actually in this position at work a few years ago, when I set up a couple of internal (monitoring stuff) servers for my own use. I used Let's Encrypt, because I use them (for free) at home (media server), and know how it wor

Fair. Reading more closely, I agree with you.

Same(-ish). :-) I wouldn't need / want this for reading English, but it'd be killer for improving my Spanish vocab and speech-recognition. It's a great idea, and lots of people could get a lot of value out of it. Well

What if you want to maximize your talent? I'm sure you're good at something; isn't it satisfying to get better at it? At some point you'll maximize the improvement you can make in your free time; if you get there before

From bevr1337's comment, above: > its API was a reflection of the domain. As a developer, I want to query for a node (CSS selector, xpath, etc.) to affect change and traverse to other nodes That's what I miss about it.

To support your point, and pre-empt some obvious objections: - I've ridden a bike with a bamboo frame - it worked fine, but I don't think it was very durable. - I've seen a video of a belt- (rather than chain-) driven bike -

You're talking about those ones made of glued-together cork chips, right? They're only vaguely natural, and it wouldn't surprise me to find out they're shedding all sorts of who-knows-what. I've not tried melting on

Does cork need adhesive to stay in place? I'm not doubting you, just had never heard that before. I thought the cork had enough friction with the glass on its own.

I agree. Frankenstein is a great novel, and I've taught it at the college level, but I wouldn't include it in a high school curriculum. It feels to me like those "great books" lists got frozen in 1880-something, when g
