Your not the first person to worry about our mandatory education. It varies enormously depending on the resources of the surrounding area, and I am sure there are some schools that cover modern politics.

I agree that they shouldn't promise what they can't provide, but it is hardly inexplicable.

I don't know, some studios seem to have found a formula for consistently producing above average games. Look at From, Bethesda (the developers not the publishers) or Valve. I think it may have a lot to do with giving a medium sized tea

Haha, I guess I'll provide the dissenting voice. I know I get bored of songs and as a result I actually ration my favorite music. As a result I am always hunting for new stuff, so that when I do go back to my favorites playlist it re

Honestly, that calculation deeply annoyed me. The author says he is 39, and that he has amassed so much music that he couldn't listen to all of it in 40 years, so what I would like to know, is why he owns so much music that he has nev

Maybe that is part of it. But I think it has more to do with the enormous responsibility inherent in parenting. Because with parenting you can't just quit. Becoming a parent is equivalent to deciding that for 18 years someone else&#x

Not the version I use for work. If you close the conversation, the history is gone, unless you fancy digging it up in Outlook, which of course you don't, because the way it is stored there is terrible.

You know what else absolutely stinks? Skype in general. I cannot fathom why something so simple as remembering conversation history is beyond their engineers.

In the Hot Black Smoke video, how does the asymmetry occur? Is it due to imperfections in the calculations?

I'm glad you say that, because I have always viewed sourceforge as slightly sketchy, but without any real justification. I just knew that I was supposed to have mixed feelings about it.

I'm not making comments about the validity of the article, but I do want to point out that a quick google search of the author seems to imply that he is pretty much universally disliked.

4k support on Windows 10 is ok. Most major applications work but there are little things, like my home screen photo last night wasn't high enough resolution. For me they aren't usually a big deal, but coming from the Mac ecosystem

It could though, if places like Coinbase decided to transition into a banking role. The issue with Bitcoin in my mind is that people now view it as more of an investment than a currency.

How do you define good money and bad money? I feel like Bitcoin used to be a currency, but it has evolved into an investment game.

I agree in principle, but rather than the problem dictating the paradigm, I would say it usually dictates the language. If a problem is well suited to a functional implementation then I'll probably break out Scala to solve it.

Overhead isn't nebulous, it pays for the operating cost of the lab. At least in the case of the lab my parents worked at, that money was crucial.

Well, the first listed paradigm for Scala on wikipedia is functional, JavaScript and Ruby both have OO followed by imperative. And anyways supporting functional programming and being designed for it are not the same thing. Yeah, I can right
