   I guess elegance is in the eye of the beholder. Separately, I find it upsetting there are at least 6 ways of reversing a dataframe. It suggests some API smell.

   I am not sure they can make an app for that. For one, there's usually a delay before you get your receipt.

   Reddit also has a big problem with astroturfing. There are 2 really prominent use cases: 1. (mostly) US politics, with shills on all sides 2. corporate advertising. r/hailcorporate takes this to the extreme sometimes, but there are ple

   The "for me" caveat applies to some of GP's statements, but not all. In particular, leveraging game existing libraries and improved approachability are true for everyone. That being said, it does feel that GeForce is having a

    I feel like this conversation got massively side-tracked. Are you arguing in good faith that the amount of value some snacks provide to an employee is meaningful when compared to the other things the GP mentioned?

    I don't have much experience in the world of UI/cross-platform, so the following question might have some obvious answers, however: Why would someone opt for, say, Qt to design an app, when they can develop something in browser an

    /login makes me think your website isn't really static. Regardless, you can use extensionless links with your static website if you rename the file from login.html to login, then change the file metadata to Content-Type: 'tex

    I can see a couple of negative interpretations: 1. Lambda school has lost faith in their students or never had faith in the first place. As a result they're trying to exit the ISA positions. 2. This is too similar to CDOs, which have c
