I believe the author might be trying to say, for example, "let's hope water won't blow up." To make this implication, I believe the author meant to refer to "Tao's most fanciful work" rather than the equat

The point of the parent comment is to illustrate that there is in fact no evidence to support the claim that hip hop makes food taste better. The existence of a theoretical mechanism by which hip hop could impact cheese flavor, possibly mak

No. Reality is not established by publication. You can, and should, observe some things for yourself. It is obvious that touch typing is faster than hunting and pecking for most people who: - have 10 fingers - have invested sufficient effor

Of course this isn't true for everyone. For example, some people don't have any fingers. I type about 105 per minute, 3% error rate. If you can only type 10-15 words per minute, it's probable better to mouse most of the time

No no, the problem isn't reaching across the desktop. The problem is literally taking your fingers off of home row. It's fine if you're in a phase of your activity where you're moving slowly, contemplatively. But if the

For many people, writing out the command text is faster. Fantastically faster, when you take advantage of the efficiency improvements like tab completion, readline hotkeys, aliases, scripts, etc. And you don't lose time from whatever y

I basically agree. I've always felt that Trump's most strident critics reached too hard for sensationalism, missing many opportunities to make valid criticisms while preserving their credibility.
