Indeed, every apartment in Mountain View is rent controlled by municipal ordinance. But it only applies to increases on existing tenancies; when someone moves out, the landlord can charge whatever they want to the new tenants.

Skin-to-skin is also for pair bonding. To toss it out as just for body temperature is too hasty.

The authors aren't exactly cloaking themselves in glory either, to be fair.

I first heard about this project when it saved homestarrunner.com from the dead. I'm glad it exists, there's a lot of 2000's-era web history wrapped up in Flash.

Quite a lot of the well known "London Fog" was coal smoke, as coal was widely used as domestic fuel up until the 1950s. Since nobody burns coal for heating or cooking any more, the pea soupers have vanished.

You are probably being downvoted because this is not really an appropriate venue for such a discussion. If you are genuinely curious, surely you have access to a search engine where you will get much more thorough discussion of both sides.

The number of new motherboards that still include PS/2 connectors while also offering a piddling 4 USB ports is quite surprising.

I'll wager the New England problem could be resolved by reordering the input data. GraphViz outputs are not independent of the ordering of inputs.

I dunno how rational this is, but I've always felt that when I pay my mortgage, I get equity in return, whereas when I pay rent, that money disappears into a hole, gone forever. Further, all the carrying costs of owning (mortgage, tax

Yeah, but in those days we did that because there wasn't any other option. It's not like the colour scheme of the monochrome terminal was chosen for ergonomic reasons. If anything, amber terminals were easier on the eyes. Or the

In fairness to gcc, it's more than just a C compiler.

On MacOS I've been using MacPass ( https://macpassapp.org/ ) for years, which uses the same file format (so can use KeePass with the same DB on other platforms) but is more Mac OS-y.

> migrate to something sane, like ext4 I have seen this argument used the other way. XFS never runs out of inodes, for example.

I (and my family before me) just cut them into pieces. We have small bowls that will take about a 1/4 square section, so we cut off a fourth along the short axes of the large block, leave that in the dish on the counter, and put the r

It's a feature-complete paid service which has been 100% bug-free in the seven years I've been using it, yes, daily. It is possible for software to be finished and only require minimal maintenance.
