It applies to any flour based dough. Not just corn. "masa de maiz" literally means "corn dough". I'm a native spanish speaker BTW. I get all the nuances.

It should say: "are not willing to pay extra". My guess is that most people already pay an awful lot in taxes, so they would be more willing for some of those taxes they already pay be shifted to climate change initiatives.

"masa" literally means dough. There's nothing unique about the word. I get using "tortilla" which has a very specific meaning, but "masa"? There's a perfectly good, common english word that means exac

Mercurial was good but awfully slow, particularly on medium to large projects. The lack of APIs didn’t help either.

Counting words is easy, defining what a word is, is not.

Most third-party antiviruses cause more problems than viruses do in my experience. They tend to hook into system calls and slow down the computer in hard to diagnose ways. Sometimes they don't implement the hooks correctly and cause su

The mistake is thinking about hours instead of output. The notion of full-time comes from the factory model, where your output is a function of the time you spend working. For knowledge work, we have known this is not the case for a very lo

Argentinian here: Ohh... my sweet summer child. Anyway, it's not really that important unless it changes in value suddenly without giving you time to adjust.

I didn't know you could do it on a comment. It's not on the normal UI. Thanks.

Thanks! Commenting so I don’t lose this.

These are all latin-style words, there are much worse horrors in english importing them. One of my favorites is "ingenuity", used as being clever or inventive. It share the root with "ingenuidad" in spanish, which means

At my company, we usually do the more in-person interview, but if we suspect you have potential and your performance is negatively impacted by the stress of the interview process, we propose a project interview to wrap up the decision. Sinc

The problem result is not the goal of the exercise, I don't care if you solve it, but rather how you approach it. Note that I don't use puzzle problems, but more open-ended ones that elicit discussion and architectural approaches

Couldn’t you could hack it and put a ridiculously large range of salaries? For example: $1 to $10M just to comply.

It doesn't render right on Chrome, such a weird site.

I follow both, US and Argentinean politics, given that I live in Argentina, and my livelihood depends on the US (I've worked for American companies for the past 20 years or so).

I think the chance of detecting another civilization right now is rather slim. Maybe in a couple thousand years. I'll try to explain my reasoning. First, a few assumptions: - Life and intelligence are physical processes. Given the star

No. The site is no more than an HTML flyer. No user data or anything of value. Minimal external access (http, https and SSH), so the attack surface is very small. Even if I lost it, I can rebuild it from scratch in under an hour.

I love Linode. I've been running a small site for 10 years or so, I can't remember any significant issue. I've had uptimes of years, broken by me updating something on the host. For example: 04:12:41 up 157 days, 9:47, 1 us

No. Why would I do that? I'm not a factory line worker were my output is correlated to the number of hours I spend at work. I'm paid because I add value, how and at which times I add such value is mostly up to me. Yes, there are

It’s usually implied, think: policemen, firemen, soldiers, window cleaners on buildings, steel workers, etc. Some jobs are inherently risky to your physical and/or mental health.

That's bullshit. I'm argentinian, and voting is compulsory. Tell me that argentinian politics are any better than in the US.

Javascript needs copious amounts of ram when wielded by close to average developers. Since we cannot inflict the pain on the ones that have the most tools to do something about it, end users end up paying for the inefficiency.

You use an iPad for reading. I don't see it. It truly should feel magic for it to make sense in an Apple device. The crease in the fold should be non-existent: no color bleeding, no weird reflections, it must be a perfectly flat screen

If they do it, they'll likely be the first ones that do it right (or as right as possible). Before the iPod, MP3 players sucked. Before the iPhone, smartphones sucked. Before the MacBook notebooks sucked (still, sleep and touchpads don

It doesn't make sense yet (if ever). I buy they're prototyping it, but launching? That's a long shot. The tech is nowhere near ready for them yet. They're extremely fragile, the screens have weird artifacts near the fold
