Latin is still in use in science, medicine and law, and "the economy" behind it was destroyed some 1500 years ago...

For me it all fits in that famous Rutger Hauer's monologue: "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain" - still freaks the hell out of me every time. Not that I think of my experiences as especially important

Cool idea, but it looks like it needs a bit more work. English/Italian male names have some typically Dutch names in the list like Rembrandt, while it's missing some common Italian names like Luka/Luca?

My problem with all these similar privacy-oriented services is that they're basically saying: "Don't trust others, trust us". And, OK, Aral Balkan is a well-known figure so I probably would trust him on a word, but I&#x2

C'mon, Aral Balkan is well known expert and activist, he's not just "some guy". He's been in and around web-standards development for decades, involved in W3C standards' groups, and very vocal pushing for bette

It's also partially the blame of companies that sell the software, as it's them that should really insist on a need for users of their systems to manually double check every automated result - but "our software makes mistakes

Actually it's the opposite, and the difference between the two is because the river bed has changed over the time naturally and by human engineering. To quote Wikipedia: "Serbia holds the opinion that the thalweg of the Danube val

Running around causing total havoc in the hotel's dining room, like we did as kids 30 years ago, might have been beneficial for us, but I'm sure it wasn't helping with my parents' high blood pressure condition. And I&#x2

It's complicated to rely on natural barriers as they change too, for instance some parts of the border between Croatia and Serbia were drawn to follow the Danube river, but the river bed is ever-changing as water finds new ways - creat

I'm more than capable to write vanilla PHP projects, I did it for years, but why in the world would I want to do it nowadays? Who in their right mind would write everything from the scratch every single time, when at least half of all

Not everyone feels comfortable and/or knowledgeable enough to review the settings. What they really should do is to hire an admin/devops consultant, but for so many projects it's just not a realistic expectation. That's

I don't think this is the case of people not being concerned, but simply the ignorance on their part about the setup. People just presume that the defaults are safe, and never bother getting into the details.

Isn't this perfectly logical, as dance has more complicated pattern of highly coordinated moves and in addition requires synchronization with the rhythm. I'd be much more interested in comparison of dance and some more complex fit

When doing B2B with big corps developers opinion is not of such huge importance, they're not making any calls about closing the deal. Also integration will almost always be a part of the deal, so again devs care less, they'll have

You could, but it's more work as it takes a lot of digging. You could also have flat raised beds setup the same way, with logs and branches and hay - it's a lot more common thing actually. However small slopes and mounds on their

Problem is that the category of users who can be tricked over the phone to tell someone OTP are people who just won't be bothered to use external devices like yubikeys - they're a hassle, you need to carry it around, can loose it,

For me personally, documentation was just a step one, helping me to discover that some feature exists, what options are, etc. - and then "cobbling around", as you said, was the very important 2nd step where I'd really unders

No, it's a case of much less profound details, for instance I literally had no idea that Shakespeare's works were even meant to rhyme in the original, because the translation that we've read in school didn't rhyme at all

I agree, but how is applying pre-learned algorithms significantly better than using pre-build libraries? Both is about using an existing solution, instead of coming up with it on your own. The real approach would be to ask candidates to sol

Seems over-complicated, e.g. I probably wouldn't go for recursion for Fibbonacci, so I'd miss your expectations completely. Why not just ask a direct question on things that you're looking for? If you care about recursion, as

IMHO all you need to know is to recognize a certain category of problems and remember that there is an appropriate algorithm for it - and if can you recall the name even better, will save you some time googling, but it's not that impor

I hated Shakespeare when I was forced to read it in my language, translation tried to keep the spirit of the language, but really made it just sound archaic and complete incomprehensible to us (high-school kids not really interested in the

Apple is completely missing the point. Primary reason to cover cameras is to avoid anything being recorded by accident, not just to stop hackers RATing you. Now with everyone working remote this has become even more important as it's s

The only problem here is that building things, unlike bowling, is a team effort, and also goals are very different, you don't win the game by having the highest score in the end. IMHO big question is if it's worth to invest into &

Ana White did the whole series few years ago about building a little cabin somewhere in Alaska for their family. Lately she does more fine woodworking on her site and YT channel, but also super interesting stuff.
