Side note: that’s a relative bargain compared to Manhattan. A 700 sq ft 1 bed/1 bath can easily be $3,000/mo in a desirable neighbourhood such as the East Village. A nicer doorman condo somewhere like Flatiron or the Upper West Si

If you ever get something for free, remember something somewhere is subsidizing it. Whether that's the other paid accounts, which therefore must be uncompetitively priced, VC funding (which will eventually run out), or your data is so

If you look on any exchange or broker for any security, the sell price at any given time will almost always be lower than the buy price. The instantaneous gap between the sell price and the buy price is known as the spread. This spread ref

raatgift develops an excellent answer describing the many options one has when attempting to model a "single particle" (and goes into detail as to what that small phrase can mean). But to add to the first paragraph of their answer

So as a regular user, golerka's biggest concern should be that the Chinese government is going to steal their credit card number/look through some of their private pictures/create a profile on them because Apple's employ

I'm not defending the difference between how months and days/years are treated. But here are some possible reasons. From ctime(3): Broken-down time is stored in the structure tm, which is defined in <time.h> as follow

Database access, likely the most common I/O operation from a web server, is certainly running in another process (or on another machine) - I'm not sure that "if" is as big as you suggest.

To deal with this exact issue, I wrote a 'Promise Queue' for use in our codebase. The implementation of this queue is simple. It is initialized with a resolved promise. Each operation (i.e. a function that returns a promise) is

Browsing through mailcore2 [1], it looks like this would not support arbitrary IMAP flags. So far I have found only a handful of mail clients that can support them: MailMate, MailTags (brittle extension for Mail.app), and support for flags

That's not a part of the ACME protocol (which is what Let's Encrypt implements), it's a policy decision of Let's Encrypt. Grandparent's comment is about other CAs offering EV certs over ACME.

If I understood `oneplane` correctly, that's exactly the point. Coal miners are in the energy sector, and cowboys are in the food sector. Whether or not a specific worker in those industries will be required may change over time, but
