Ah yes, the mythical competent C developer; Who knows all the corner cases, implementation details and never makes mistakes? This bridge doesn't need guard rails. A competent pedestrian wouldn't walk off the edge.

Can you? No matter how many damn Google Assistant settings I disable in how many fractal menus, it STILL "helpfully" pops up if I say out loud "ok google"! Like, "heyy I noticed you're trying to talk to me thou

Your problem, then, is believing that the pill contains something you can never generate without it. This is a false belief. You absolutely can, and should, make the conscious decision to be more like X in your everyday life, where X is how

Could you expand a little on how you're doing that? I've been thinking about transitioning entirely to sqlite for all my data.

Only up to a week after the purchase. Make sure to TEST every game you buy on a sale; otherwise your old, never-played but doesn't-work games are dead without refund.

Interesting question. Was afraid of the shower drain cover's holes once, but generally no, have seen few human-made objects possessing the phobic quality. I think manufactured patterns are too regular and neat to trigger it.

It's not merely a 'dislike' though. I've had arachnophobia (spiders). It feels like an intense, paranoid, startling horror which demands visual attention and quick jumping away of the body. If I know there's a spi

Last I heard it was expanding -- and the expansion was accelerating. When we looked at the most empty spot we could find with the best camera ever built, we saw more universe than we could even have imagined. Earth, ok, that's somewhat

My experience is the opposite. Having switched entirely to light on dark (as well as adjusting the blue component of my screens to zero), switching the display of information back to dark on light feels like a nuclear blast of a million Sun

Chatting about news and weather in monochrome, apparently. That's all the impression I got from this presentation, anyway.

I don't know. My bank "double spent" a hundred bucks the other day, that took them half a month to return. There was some error with the debit card system where it wouldn't accept my card, then when the cashier rebooted

That's what I tell myself as I pirate everything online. Couldn't afford to preserve everything by buying it. The only way to guarantee preservation, personally, is to save it personally.

Consider this: To gain any information from a screen, you must actually look at it. You can only look at one screen at a time. The entire functionality of a second screen can be replaced with a single button: While that button is pressed,

Making them round is so inefficient for the machines. Make 'em long -- that way you merely need to pass dough through a conveyor. Then, use the money you saved on the simpler machinery to do an advertizing campaign to change the public

Having found something that works well doesn't proclude finding something that works even better. Before capitalism, violence used to solve more problems than any other means. Slavery also lifted people out of poverty. Because, you kno

Thanks, will look into that. Expanding on my findings: Grains -- Wheat, barley, oats, rye and spelt cause mild depression and psychosis. Yeast causes skin infection. These combined, rule out all bread. Maize, rice and maybe teff seem ok so

Spot on. The difference in noise pollution, air quality, crime and drug needles laying around is staggering! Having found a wife, neither of us likes going downtown anymore. We have our own sauna and an apple tree! The only downside is, ele

I have a mechanical wristwatch, and love it. Scenario: I want to know how long something lasts (e.g. lunch) Wristwatch: 1) raise arm 2) pop crown 3) twist crown to align hands at 12:00 4) push crown 5) twist crown to wind And now I can view
