I disagree. Phasing out new production of C02 producing vehicles benefits everyone and by extension, failing to encourage it hurts everyone. This isn't a localized issue. It isn't like Texas (for instance) can produce as much carb

This is not some exploitable loophole abused by the ultra wealthy.

I'll give it a try next time I have a project. How are it's network utilities?

But present in basically all the major libraries which is wonderful.

As someone who thinks they understand both the upsides and downsides of Ruby, you shouldn't write it off. I find ruby to be really unsuited for projects with multiple people, but genuinely fantastic for personal projects or one off scr

This is a little bit off topic, but one thing that I wish python used is ruby's indicators for the purpose of a function. i.e. "?" for boolean returns, and "!" for modifying functions in place. In a language without

No, from a security stand point I can feel pretty confidant that Apple is better so long as iOS 0days are still selling for 10x that of their counterparts.

I don't usually have to go to these meetings, but I find it very convenient to have at least one person on the team who can let people know when they are reinventing a wheel that was already implemented by another team.

What about as a way to make sure the different teams know what everyone else is doing?

Is this really a product for "enthusiasts"? It seems to me like this would be far more valuable for servers and the like than "esports gamers".

I would agree that math an the real world are related, but not that the physical world should influence math. If you discover an interesting and self consistent system, than it seems that eventually there is a good chance you will find a co

I happen to be extremely well acquainted with one tenured professor of biological oceanography, and one tenure track professor of physical oceanography, and I can't say I agree with your observation. My experience has been that tenure

Yeah, but the fact that they let Sally publish it means that while they may not have integrity, they at least are not idiots.

There is nothing new to be scared about. Landlords already exist.

I agree, tech billionaires should not be allowed to own parts of cities. Lets leave that to the real estate billionaires.

This was one of my professors favorite gripes. He loved to tell stories about how companies would reinvent algorithms (usually multiple times) that had been published in the 70's and 80's

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the author was protesting against the misuse of techniques for imitating movie quality graphics. He held up BOTW for not attempting such imitation.

for what it is worth, this is also an excellent solution (for some people in states where it is legal) to the effects of ADHD medication, as it counteracts both the insomnia and the appetite loss.

Yeah, I was surprised by the picking locks part. That tends to be either loud or slow, and either way nearly as incriminating if caught as it is possible to be.

Guitars are great, partly because for the most part they are still built to last forever so investing in a good one isn't such a transient thing. I feel the same about kitchen knives, and surprisingly, headphones.

I need more RAM (for chrome's greedy self) than a pi can offer. But that is the only area where that sort of project falls short. Other than Chrome all I need is VPN capability and a terminal.

I didn't "choose" to program before college because I didn't decide to major in CS until I applied to college. And I suspect that unless "WAY" means high-school, you programmed before college because of your pa

This article is driving me crazy with sentences like, "Edison's was a scientist's approach: If there was a popular need or desire, an invention might be able to fill it." In what way is that a scientist's approach?

No, just their pushing of metal and all the games demos they've been doing. Nothing concrete.
