The thing about that, is that a lot of farmers own their farms. It takes many years to create a new orchard and there's only so much land suitable for the purpose. New content vendors can spring up over night, even ones doing real news

The incentives of paying per article aren't great though. Instead of one article covering a school board meeting it gets split into one article per speaking, an article in cover why the meeting happened, an article on when they'll

Very true, but if you're planning on expanding the work of a small, pilot study like that and you don't have the people who were involved in the original you probably need to recreate the study (to shake out the kinks in the proto

I'd like to point out a couple of things. One is that, while this is written like a straight news article (until the last paragraph), this is in The Hill's Opinion section. In the past, I have seen this publication allow people of

I found this true in the early days, but I think there has been some settlement on basic facts. The Russians have not conquered Kyiv, their invasion has stalled but they have caused enormous damage. Ukraine has not managed to expel the inva

I could kind of understand things moving around back in the 2000s when we were all getting used to AJAX but all these years later can we (at least) have the main navigation links stay still?

So the key difference is that in law, the state enforces an outcome whether it's logically consistent or not, in medicine death enforces an outcome in all cases, but in computer programming if something is illogical you have to deal wi

I hope this gets updated. I learned Ruby through looking at the Rails code and studying the internals a bit and it was a great way to understand what is, in my opinion, the best web framework by a country mile. Once you learn what the &quot

I think of SQL as one of the few good things we have in software development, so like the author I consider it best to try to do as much in SQL as possible. It's not too uncommon I run into code in other languages where I just don&#x27

This is the situation I was attempting to make light of. Apple is not what someone from 1990 would think of as a Unix vendor, but due to paying the licensing fee they are one and there are very few left.

2010 is still pretty recent, where was Apple in 1990? If someone said they would become the largest company in the world because they manufactured premium telephones, offered a replacement to cable TV, and were one of the few remaining Unix

To be fair to the design patterns people, a lot of them got baked into pieces of infrastructure like web servers and frameworks, while others are part of frequently included libraries. If I went through and inspected any Node, Rails, Django

I found it interesting that they appear to interact with these fossils that look a little like parasites on the rocks. Obviously this is pure imagination but I wonder if that was why they felt the need to scratch the rock or create lines to

Oh! I do df but for whatever reason I don't think of it as using f. Muscle memory is a weird thing.

After this I am going to try to work in f to my routine. The only issue is (content warning: controversial remap) I have ; nnoremap'd to : and : to ; so it would be awkward to advance multiple matches. I would hate to lose my one key :

I might be a perfect complement to the grandparent. I use w b $ and ^ to move horizontally. I like using w and b because then I can hit cw to make a small change. For vertical (I don't really think in terms of horizontal and vertical,

I suspect you're right that the first time is an adventure and the fifth time is a chore. After your first or second big move you might need to change careers or something instead.

It sounds like this author believes in going really big. They didn't move cities, they moved continents. They didn't date and break up, they married and divorced. I think there is something to be said for getting some big experien

There is absolutely a benefit. What is painful is when one venue has a length limit of 6 pages and the next has a limit of 5 pages (plus one page for references), but when you port the paper from one Latex template to the other it explodes

I don't think that has much to do with AI. Russia is seeking to subjugate Ukraine and terrorize the population into surrendering, while Ukraine is attempting to protect the population. If Russia had more military AI, they would use it

One thing that was really jarring for me moving from the startup/consulting/advertising space to the research space was that human subjects data really gets deleted. It's not just the deleted_at column being set, there's

You'd be surprised. One headache there is what did you tell study participants you would do with the data? Did you say you'd keep it forever? Did you say 5 years? Who's in charge of making sure that this centralized repositor

Since this was written Rails has become much better about this kind of thing. I think Arel and some of the other work that really helped was happening more than 10 years ago now (how time flies!) but it was a non-trivial upgrade so a lot of
