Not that I agree with the "expect people reading your code to Google things" mindset, but to be fair the only ambiguous thing is the ASCII table which is Googleable.

Scattered votes will have very little impact. The most impact we can have as voters in locked states is in concentrating on one party to boost for now. Party status and funding is based in part on percentage of the popular vote, so concent

If you want to send a proper message, vote Libertarian. Not because you agree with them (I personally abhor the party) but because it is the largest third party in the US. Your vote won't have an impact on the outcome of this election but

Of course, though it does mean you should examine it further to check.

If I understand this properly, it is a gratuity. The way I understand it, the taxi is still a normal taxi in operation but essentially has hooked into Uber to give it a new way to find fares and to have people pay. If this is the case, th

Except that he does. He only argues that two spaces doesn't look ugly in monospaced fonts but should be changed to smaller spacing when presenting variable fonts. No further explanation should be required as to why he doesn't go out of hi

This isn't answering your question but it seems others are and it's still good to say: Spend some time learning maths. I don't mean to say you shouldn't continue advancing in programming and I understand that you're in elementary school whi

Your first point is confusing to me. How are games, movies, tv shows, music, etc any less culture than books?

The $.50 is $.50 regardless of what the voucher is for. It provides exactly $.50 no matter what. Sure, maybe someone with $700 at the ready for a laptop won't be the kind to be clipping $.50 coupons for anything but the same tendency to c

One-time coupon for $.50 off a chocolate bar: probably going to take the time to clip it. One-time coupon for $.50 off a laptop: probably won't bother. You can find silly faults with individual examples all you want, but studies indicate t

I agree with you for this particular case but you are mistaken if you think that sarcastic and ist are mutually exclusive. Sarcastic comments of a ist form can (and nontrivially often do): mask sincere ism; be a more socially-acceptable

The US also holds certain rights that cannot be signed away, some of which hold for the whole US and some of which are per state. IANAL, but as I understand it the US does allow you to waive your right to pursuing certain types of claims i

When I was but a poor college student not many years ago I had the first edition constantly checked out from the library. The content is easily worth $39 for interest's sake. If you're looking for usefulness, however, you're not likely to

Sleepy, waking-up me is not rational and wants to go back to sleep. Alarm's purpose is to wake up enough of rational me to make this happen. Optimally more-rested me would be more rational. Realistically, longer period of time dealing wi

It definitely depends on your audience but the general non-tech audience probably doesn't know what "FAQ" stands for on average. In fact, most of the things you tech for granted among a tech-savvy audience disappear if you are targeting an

I understand you may be defending the author but maybe think twice before you try to discredit someone so quickly, without any knowledge of their background? There is nothing wrong with questioning credentials when things get down to a he

That sort of highlighting almost never should be relegated to a mouseover event. Besides the issue mentioned in the article, if the only way to reliably read a row of data is for it to be highlighted then highlight-on-mouseover makes it a

A problem is that a number of users also instinctively look for FAQs to answer any questions. However, in theory your solution is far more elegant and correct. Fortunately, any well-designed (from a back-end perspective) site should have n

(there should be a gender neutral singular pronoun in english) There are a number of attempts at this but I've found Spivak pronouns (specifically the Elverson set) to be a particularly elegant solution. The easiest description is "the '

Not that I agree with most of GP's message, but generally pitchers come out ahead if they win a game. If they bet a nontrivial but still small amount against themselves it could be seen as a means of hedging an individual game. And strong

I hope you don't mind if I'm not interested in spending a few hours tracking down all the sources I've referenced before but to give you a short answer to your first paragraph: for the past decade or so women have held 20-30% of the CS degr

Ah, but remember that in this example everyone sees the posting (or, if you prefer, the recruiter only reaches out to women who see the posting) so your scenario is impossible. The recruiter's role isn't to increase visibility but rather t

Okay, sure, in your highly-fictional, strangely-exact, not-at-all-representative-of-reality example more mens' colleges will be left out than womens' colleges. In reality, not a single part of your scenario actually holds and even the part

But even resources per candidate isn't a good measure of fairness. Just consider the trivial illustrative possibility of a normal job board posting that every potential candidate sees. In today's world it is likely that more men would res
