"un-solvable reason is" This is actually completely solvable, if it was something lots of people wanted to do it could be trivially built into any browser. It could be built into FF globally with an extremely simple plugin.

In Canada, CV == Resumé. I think it can depend based on country. Of course, for researchers, no matter what, you make it as long as it needs to be.

I think that's because it's hideous, so you can only get away with hideous in academia. I am in academia but under no circumstances do I use CM.

With InDesign though he can easily fix that with manual line-breaking. I think that if you understand the typographical principles you're trying to deploy, you'll end up making it work, and if you don't you're likely to end up with glaring

Your points in this comment are basically, "I didn't think it was rude so it's not rude" and "I was right so I have the right to be rude." If you really think those things, I don't really know what to tell you to help you understand what ru

Not to mention no product since it duplicates the 'share on twitter' functionality of the camera app. In 2 years, nobody will remember what instagram was.

Brooklyn Heights is literally the most expensive neighborhood in Brooklyn, which probably means it's the most expensive neighborhood in NYC outside Manhattan. If you cared about money you should not have moved there.

Nice, new construction 1Brs in Williamsburg are $2500, going rate. Great area. I'm really happy I moved here.

Can't they just maintain both a bloated legacy version and a stripped down version that they focus on?

I was just trying to point out cultural differneces in a tongue-in-cheek manner. I think Japan is the least Europeanized wealthy country (the other Asian tigers count too but are less renowned for shocking westerners). As a result, it's oft

That's actually not viewing the page source though. That's viewing the current DOM state. If the author was more clever he could have left you a little note to that effect.

Playing the Japan card during discussion of a cultural phenomenon is the equivalent of playing the Hitler card in a political debate. If there's one thing that's clear, it's that they will do absolutely anything in Japan. EDIT: In Japan, th

"why, say, they apply to Go but not to Python 3.0" That's sort of a terrible example since python is ill-suited to many (might I dare say a clear majority of?) production environments. The field of general-purpose production languages is ac

I'm so glad you point this out since I think this is the only validly useful feature of Bitcoin. BC has its own problems but it's pretty awesome that transaction costs are nil.

How does that fact make parent's point untrue? He never said the workers stood to benefit 'more' than Wackenhut; it's not clear what that would even mean. Clearly both the unions and the contractors both are in favor of increased incarcerat

As someone who administers a lot of Macs and a few LInux machines, package management on Macs is simply indefensibly bad. There is no getting around it. Apple chose not to provide this as a service to their users. I use a Mac laptop and wou

I suspect this is Google's intention, at least for now. It's basically fancy twitter. It doesn't have much in the way of personal communication mechanisms (although huddle was weird and I'm not sure why they thought anybody would use it).
