I agree that the author's mom did a horrible thing to him by not getting vaccinated. But the whooping cough and tetanus are on him -- he describes being aware of the importance and need for vaccines well before he contracted those dise

I'll try to answer my own question: I knew Wehr's dictionary was fairly old, but it may be old enough that it has entered public domain. There are still major publishers that publish the dictionary, but it may well be public domai

Hans Wehr's dictionary is awesome. How did you get permission to use it online?

Agreed. Even in Linux, complete documentation for userland tools is usually a given. Not so with webdev. That said, the source code is there for all of us to read. I'm a frontend developer and spend more time looking at source code w

It's not just small-town newspapers. Think of society pages of all the big newspapers (some still have them). And for example the wedding pages of the NY Times.

Impressive that they managed to write the article's title back in the 1600s.

No, that's a age-old, more general metaphor, This trend of using "body" as a synecdoche for "individual" is much more recent, starting in the past 4-5 years: https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/20

Ah, this lovely new trend among academic types of describing an individual as a "body". For a group of people said to be so interested in the human condition, it's a strikingly dehumanizing term.

Arguably, it's going to take the popularity of Github to make this a thing. Others have tried and failed (more or less) to establish an independent, first-class product to fund software developers. Some devs are getting some play on Pa

Coming from the JS world, asyncio feels fine to me. I've noticed a lot of Python programmers who have a strong background in C and Python struggle with asyncio. But in their case, I think it's more them disliking the async program
