As per @nrki's comment; > I think if you are brought up on mutton, then mutton tastes great No one has been "brought up on" any kind of meat further ago than the last 100 years or so, people couldn't afford it. People

Depends on the spice and the part of the world you're talking about. Chilli was/is used heavily in Mexico and India to add or mask flavour but, also they also have antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties in countries were y

Here in the UK that is the case but, not for spices but for herbs. If you're from the UK you'll know that mint source with your Sunday roast is very common. It was invented by the Welsh to make their old lamb/mutton taste bet

But "baby" (in this example) is the most common word I use. That is data too. Perhaps there is a part of the country were "baby" is more commonly used than anywhere else. Perhaps there is a part of the country where only

"How do you refer to your mother?" I say "mother", why is that not in the list of predefined answers!?! "Which of these words (if any) would you use for a baby?" Baby. I say "baby" to describe a baby.

I assume there are a lot of famous technologies accredited to a company, I'd love to know the names of some of the engineers and researchers behind some of the great inventions that we simply credit to XYZ Inc.

Thanks for the info. When 3D printing started to blow up I brushed it off due to the plastic waste I would produce. I need to look into it again it seems.

I don't know squat about 3D printing. Is the plastic biodegradeable, otherwise you end up replace things (like the bouquet) with things that aren't recyclable / don't biodegrade ?

I would never work for one of those companies, their ethics and morals are disgraceful. Edit: sorry didn't understand all the letters in the acronym. I don't think Netflix are bad, Apple I'm on the fence, Goog/Face/

Its difficult for the "average user" (define as you please) to know what what path should look like though. Lots of ISPs will have private peerings to others ISPs/content providers/carriers etc. which aren't publica

I would guess that the author copied the results into a table and prettified them and added in details like location. At the top of the screenshot it says "traceroute from London to ..." - no traceroute program knows where it is i

It's great that you have documented this process, especially the failures section, not enough people do this in my opinion. However, it really annoys me when people make these blog style posts on GitHub. Sorry OP, I for one disapprove.

I think this is an important note that you have made. Meetings are not a place for free and open discussion, which in my experience often derails them. We tend to have two kinds of meetin. The first kind is with another team (or teams) that

Take more desk breaks were you get up and wall around. Getting he blood moving just by walking round the flat for a couple of minutes actually makes a difference. I work from home so I'm on the phone a reasonable amount - I always walk

Yeah, if you drop in a Linux shell on their various platforms you can find shell scripts dotted around. The boxes run Linux so that isn't surprising really.

I mostly make notes for myself, so no need for an about page, I'm the target audience. Someone else might find the info useful which is why it's publically visible, but I'm mainly writing for myself, so no contact or comments
