It can also be how you think. I think like that (speaking to myself) and I'm not a slow thinker, at least I don't think so... The thing is, when speaking doesn't involve muscle movements, and just a stream of word/concep

Yes I literally line up one word after the other. As I think, I converse to myself. "Should I do it this way? No, well that's overkill and too difficult. Can I get away with just that? Yeah that's likely fine" I think

The reality of electron (presumably) is static but our model of electron can change given new data, new information. The reality of our solar system is the same but the way Newton modeled it in his head is different than the way Einstein mo

This has nothing to do with postmodern philosophy. There is a difference between the reality, and a human's conceptualization of that reality. In fact, we can abstract further and say that there is a difference between X and the concep

Very sad day for Western classical music community. Peter Schickele is one of the bigs of the late 20th century WCM and demonstrated that sarcasm and parody can create profound statements in art music. He will be dearly missed by people who

SDL API is used to interface with HTML5 canvas operations so that SDL doesn't need to be compiled: the entire SDL API is literally a primitive in your browser.

Are you aware of the fact that LGPL and GPL are entirely different licenses? Any form of dynamic linking is fair game in LGPL.

Creator must just not be a musician. For a composer, for a pianist, for a violinist, for a singer... etc D# and Eb are distinct things. There are extraordinarily few contexts in music history where their difference is irrelevant, such as s

This is an excellent comment and one should also note that the claim is wrong. If one line is changed "a diff" will likely have two lines: one removed, one added. If you change a sentence "I am studying tonight" to &quot

How is lawfully prosecuting a private company that makes profits off of a vehicle is the same thing as killing someone? Would you agree with literally any punishment against Boeing for cheaping out on their design?

Oof that's a very nasty bug. Is this still relevant in Zig or is there a workaround in the language? I'm not familiar with Zig, heard some good things about it, but this looks like a showstopper.

Wikipedia says that: > F4 is a paper size 210 mm × 330 mm (8.27 in × 13.0 in). Which is different than what GP states (216 mm x 330 mm).

"Adaptation" is absolutely amazing of a movie. Kaufman's works are all amazing but I think this one takes the cake. It's so smart and so well executed. I know Nic Cage is a very controversial actor, and I don't doub

It really depends, and it's not as simple as you imply. US rice for example has more arsenic than any other rice in the world because US soil has more arsenic in it and rice is an arsenic soaking crop. So, if you eat too much rice, you
