Looks like pictures taken in Kruger National Park or elsewhere in the northeast of South Africa. Don't expect giraffes in Cape Town or the garden route.

Bulk water supply is the responsibility of national government. Local government is responsibile for the distribution of the allocated water.

We are a couple living in Cape Town. For the past 6 months we've been averaging 60 litres per person per day, with a downward trend. We don't have a swimming pool. We don't water the garden or lawn. It looks hideous, but thos

I'm not entirely convinced that it is due to malice. Keep in mind that the Department of Water and Sanitation has been declared bankrupt, so I think it's mostly incompetence. http://ewn.co.za/2017/02/12&#

To answer your question, I haven't met anyone in Cape Town who takes a WC secession seriously. There is a very small political party that advocates for it, be its treated as one of the joke parties.

South African table grapes are mostly farmed in... (wait for it).. a desert, in the Northern Cape, but water is ample from the Orange River that runs through it. Cape Town is some distance from that area, though.

The init.js file is huge and I suspect they don't cache it server side. I wrote an alternative version which loads faster, but the interesting data (water usage) is obviously available only from the City of Cape Town's server and

On the other hand, it's possible that many people ran to the bunker with trousers down, and Pornhub still playing in the background.

The article is confusing. It states that the "errant employee actually was working with a drop-down menu on a computer program". But the photo is clearly of a list of normal "a href" elements. I'm asking, because if

To use WhatsApp Web, your actual mobile device still needs to be connected. If I completely disconnect my phone, e.g. put it in airplane mode, I get this on WhatsApp web: Phone not connected. Make sure your phone has an active Internet conn

It's probably wrong to reduce a person's success to one measure. He obviously had his failures, but his contributions to Zimbabwe's healthcare and education systems are what I remember and is why I called him a good leader ea

And initially he was a very good leader. But lately, if you listen to his speeches, he is downright senile. And he can hardly walk on his own. That's why the general convention of serving a maximum of 2 or 3 terms is so important.

Same here. I switched from Pi-Hole to Privoxy and haven't looked back.

http://github.com/ClosedXML/ClosedXML is a wrapper around OpenXML and attempts to fill that gap. It has partial support of Excel formula evaluation. Disclaimer: I'm a current ClosedXML contributor.

Which C# libraries were used in comparison? The 2 I know of, EPPlus and ClosedXML, do much more than just read cell values, so it's unfair to compare against those. For example the additional complexity of handling styles adds overhead

Isn't it a bit pedantic to want me to repeat arguments from the original post? OK, here you go: "Weyl and Lalley prove that the collective decision rapidly approximates efficiency as the number of voters increases. By contrast, no

One-person-one-vote is a terrible system, with the only advantage of it being simple and easy to understand, which was important when votes could be counted only by hand. CGP Grey has made an excellent and well known video series explaining

I would like to see how this compares to exponential voting.

by igitur 9y ago
I accept that this is a superior voting system to one-person-one-vote. However, for it to succeed, it should not merely be superior, it should also appear superior. The trust the voters put into the system is paramount. And for that to be t

Does anything like this for open source projects exist? I'm interested in finding unfinished, abandoned open source projects in the technology of my choice that I can take over and steer in the direction that I want. And of course with

Because they're a good match if you have a nominal (non inflation linked) book of liabilities, eg a pension fund that pays pensions that increase by a fixed rate every year.

The great thing about developers working on a project in their free time, is that they can choose anything they want. They're not constrained by what other people think they should be doing, despicable or otherwise.
