In the early stages of both discussions that happened, but recently the party lines have been blurring a bit (especially on Ukraine). We'll see how long it lasts but it wouldn't be the first time the presence of an external enemy

The thing about #2, is poorly designed in comparison to what? Chances are high the application layer is written in JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, or Python. We don't even talk about nasty edge cases in those languages because they are uncounta

I've been through something like that. I was quite young at the time but even so it took an enormous toll on my health. Sounds like you have an OK sleep schedule though so do keep that up. Would it be possible for your employer (or fri

I haven't followed this but I will take anyone's word for it that Coffee did break the story and cause the NYT to take notice, and that was great work. I think the objection is to the image of major media outlets living in fear of

From the outside, the most painful part of UK politics to watch is this instinctual reaction of "well, that didn't work, so let's do anything else." It takes a lot of luck to do that and land on a good idea. Again, from

There is also the possibility that they have too many assets due to participating in money laundering or tax evasion. There really aren't a lot of good possibilities here, how did these exchanges get so large before anyone thought of a

Yes! I dropped off there plenty of times. May I recommend the audio book version? It is much easier to just keep going that way, it's how I've brought a whole pod of white whales to the tryworks.

Funny enough there was a moment when reading Bleeding Edge that I noticed that the writing had gotten much better and everything was really Pynchon at his best and within a few pages the characters start talking about Hitler's cologne.

I would recommend The Crying of Lot 49 over Inherent Vice, if you're looking for a shorter novel. I'm not saying his more recent novels are bad, per se, but I would only read them if you exhaust the earlier works and still want mo

A few years ago I joined an employer that doesn't have chat at all (a university, schools and government seem to be where you're most likely to find this) and after a few months I marveled over why I was getting so much done witho

There's a certain logic to it. What statement could he make where, if it was believed, it would put him back where he was three months ago? Clamming up and speaking only through counsel might have changed things in November, but it&#x2

It would be interesting to see this site with the prompt adjusted to specify some particular school of dream analysis. As is, the answer I got was at least at the level of a member of the general public giving a thoughtful answer which is p

I think statistics is the adapter between the social sciences and math, rather than being part of or similar to either.

Exactly, it's not about always doing X and never doing Y, but designing a procedure that best answers your research question (within the constraints of practicality) and reporting results in a way that they accurately reflect what you

I disagree, the answer ought to be whatever was planned in advance (before they saw the initial data). Once they've peeked at the data, it's not good to change the experimental procedure as is being suggested here. The plan shoul

We're not going to settle this today but I think the later stages are where frameworks shine. For instance, when Oauth became popular I was maintaining several apps where the original authors had never dreamed of an alternative login m

What kills me is baseball, where for many years the MLB had a clear and unambiguous policy: no betting on baseball. Now every game has an official "betting on baseball" sponsor (in various forms) but they still have people on life

I've noticed that around elections there is a slight relaxing of the rules about partisan politics (or maybe the moderators just get overwhelmed). This rapidly brings in the low quality/conspiracy/baseless claims stuff. In my

Musk rightly draws attention because he's in control of a lot of money and companies that are significant players in important industries (including defense). Some of the interest is prurient, and he plays games with it, but he is a le
