Long-distance audio quality in the 80s and 90s was excellent everywhere I lived in the US, no matter where I called. Remember the pin drop commercial?

You should ask them in whatever language their Accept-Language HTTP header specifies. If there isn't one, then ok, maybe look at their IP. But it makes no sense to treat the IP as a more valuable source of information than the HTTP hea

IE is the big hurdle. It can be done - Sascha Fuchs wrote some SASS mixins that take the place of IE's missing grid-gap, and I wrote a mixin recently to take the place of grid-autoflow. I'll publish it somewhere if anyone would fi

This is a bit like saying you're not going to try OS X because OS 9 was slow and buggy. The code that made your pages stutter is probably not even in the repo anymore.

We have a word for "fasting for the long term": starving. You are saying you would starve before taking out a loan on unfavorable terms. How long would you starve? One month? Two? At what point would you decide you'd rather d

I think it's more because "smarter and more knowledgeable" is being conflated with "speaks English." That kind of casual ignorance doesn't elevate the discussion here.

I'm a Seattle native, but I lived in other places between 1994 and 2009 before moving back (to the suburbs). The difference between Seattle today and the Seattle I knew growing up is stark. Not all bad, by any means. But wow is it diff

Do you mean Equifax? I'm having a hard time keeping Equifax, Experian, and Expedia straight. And poor Expedia didn't even do anything to deserve my confusing them with those other two.

Some people would buy the next Galaxy. Plenty of people wouldn't, though, as soon as the helpful employee at the T-Mobile store warned them they couldn't reinstall their old apps on the new phone. It would be a really risky move.

For anyone else, I'd say that's letting us know a bit late. For AWS? Huge improvement.

Even if the whole workforce had formal computer science degrees, most of us still wouldn't have formal engineering education. The CS programs turn out computer scientists, not professional engineers.

A healthy amount of skepticism is fair, especially since Wildberger is a fairly odd duck. But the kind of trigonometry Wildberger proposes does work: you can use it to figure the height of a ziggurat. So it's conceivable that the Babyl
