Driving in Melbourne -- I won't generalise to the wider Australia -- is often much the same. Comparing to the experience of being a passenger on a bike in Saigon, the level of cooperation there is way higher, possibly due to a sort of

It occurred to me at some point that what many "fine" foods have in common is fermentation. Tea, coffee, chocolate, cheese, alcohol, cured meats, dry aged meats, others I can't think of right now. Makes sense, as the complex

My read is: it's saying that if your executive compensation (etc.) is capped to a portion of the cost of care, and if your execs want to be paid more (etc.), then the required change is for the cost of care to increase. Nothing special

Been a while since I've watched/read it, but I remember the ideas in Maybe Not being quite interesting. To me, the really important idea wasn't a criticism of static types in general. Instead it was the idea that static typin

Can't speak for the UK, but in Australia at least, "paracetamol" is the most commonly used non-brand name.

Even spoken aloud, there's a natural-sounding stress pattern that is ambiguous. Love it.

Thanks, that's gotta be one of the best talks I've ever watched. A passionate speaker, talking about fascinating, useful tech, giving specific real world examples of utility, AND showing how to actually apply it for interesting

In a classic case of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, I recently read "The Truth" by Terry Pratchett, which repeatedly makes reference to that phrase, and I am now noticing it everywhere, whereas previously I can't recall being

I get the impression that Fennel is intended as a different/better interface for Lua. In contrast, Clojure is intended as the language Rich Hickey wanted for writing the sort of applications he wrote, and the JVM happened to be a power

While I think this view is probably apt in other situations -- and to be clear, I don't know much about the company -- all of the specific techniques mentioned on the candidate's CV and in the article are fairly "garden-varie

What's different about the eastern part of the state? Is it as simple as having less rain and clouds to block out what sunlight there is?

A few colour changes and it would look fine. I don't know if it's the same software as lobste.rs, but it looks almost identical apart from the colours.

Anybody correct me if I'm wrong -- in Pascal these subranges can specify the size of the variable in memory and check compile-type assignment to a literal value, but don't (can't) do much else. There's the concept of dep

The "attrishing" in your comment made me go looking, and Wiktionary [0] says the verb form "attrit(e)" exists and is likely a quite old backformation that has fallen out of common use. [0] https://en.m.wiktion

Hopefully not a silly question: in the original example, even if we had enough log data coming from `tail` to fill up the first `grep` buffer, if the logfile ever stopped being updated, then there would likely be "stragglers" left
