   I'm sure there are a lot of French idioms, too. Is it less important to learn them than the English ones?

   I don't know what positive and normative statements are, but think of examples of highly available services. Electricity, Water, phone service. What do you think when those are down 3 days (or 72 hours) per year?

   If he is trembling, then he has Parkinson's, if he walks left side first, then he's a KGB guy. Otherwise, he must be one of THEM.

   How do people who like to customize their environment do pair programming? I belong to that group, and I like the idea of pair programming, but I've never had the chance to try it in practice...

   Hm? After typing "xyz -fo" I will get completions beginning "-fo", such as "-foo" and "-foobar", but I won't get completions that don't begin with "-fo". But yeah, I don't li

    Maybe he wanted to show this feature to people who were mere mortal typists? But maybe the instructions page should have explained, if so.

    The outlier had nonlinear dependence. It was the file that proved the point. Why do you want to remove it from consideration?

    There is a related idea: refactor code that you need to change, don't refactor code if there is no other change you want to make.

    How boring :-) I'd love to look forward to a language with optical types. I'm sure it's at least as interesting as operand overloading in Intercal.

    What does "low capacity with not much relevance advantage" mean? My understanding is that DDJ (at least) has great content that "one single programmer" couldn't hope to match.

    Maybe it's related to age? I've been wearing "behind the ears" aids since I was 7 and I never sensed any perception like that. (I have no idea what is the correct term for "behind the ears", I hope it's u

    For a while, I had the problem that I got feedback depending on the temperature: Going out into the winter cold was enough to change the shape of the hearing aid versus my ear so that the fit was not tight enough anymore. What I mean to say

    My understanding is the locals mostly want to earn good money and have a reasonable life. And it's dangerous to care about the Greate Firewall. So they prefer to look the other way. Of course, this way it's only going to get wor

    What is the relationship between perfect pitch and tonal languages? I've dabbled in Mandarin and there relative pitch seems to be good enough. But I realize that there are tonal languages other than Mandarin, and I know nothing about

    How does copy and paste work with tmux in st? I guess it can't be marking with the mouse, for I can't imagine that tmux scrolls when I move the mouse downwards out of the window.

    Say you have this code: var x = {a: 1, b: 2}; y = foo(x); // What is the value of x.b here? With mutable data structures, `x.b` might have changed. If you make `x` an immutable data structure, then you can be sur

    Just look at Boston versus Berlin in the article. Even the "messy" Boston looks unnaturally organized for me (I'm German, though not from Berlin).
