Thon could also use https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thon edit: that part meant jokingly (please). Although https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_English_grammar#Pronouns is far more interesting.

The premise is correct - we're willing to leak way too much. The proposed solution is sadly leakier; no metadata scheme needs be honoured by calling code. As aboodman noted, there are plenty of exfiltration methods possible, even sneak

These are amazing, primarily because they teach the related concepts of numeracy and geometry/scale all at once. From free play and 'building' to patterns, simple arithmetic, they just keep providing a direct physical analogu

Absolutely. They've pulled an amazing turnaround, momentum is going to take a while still.

Really the simple issue has always been the same with MS-platform based OSS; People look to MS to provide the canonical frameworks, tools, and libraries. MS is far more used in corporate environments as a portion of their market, and are mo

yes, but the author's issues with markdown are limitations of a limited markup. markdown is appealing thanks to the lack of verbosity, hence jade - terse, simple, yet extensible. markdown is nigh one-dimensional, your content should fi

So, something like jade then? If your annoyances are semantics and the verbosity of other markups. Roll your own semantics with +mixins, and otherwise, just write HTML, without the fluff? Human readable, concise, fluent, and HTML is a lingu

TeamCity -> Octopus Deploy. If you're tracking dvcs revisions with builds for an 'edge' env, or building for the test/master branch (using gitflow style) you're rarely in the interface, as your CI should kick off

This would be better as a simple script block with 'defer' and a js GET, with a noscript link tag fallback. This way is likely to fail in so many places.

Stop. You're devaluing yourself. Every step you take past those barriers, you're both throwing yourself under the bus, and showing others that your time and effort is worth less. Something you'll come to believe more and more

Hard/strong arguments are always strange. Some of my childhood aesthetic favourites bridge the gap (Golden Witchbreed and the like). Some try to be hard sf, and concentrate hugely on one aspect but miss others (Niven, the integral tree

IMB is a yes. All of it. Devour. Much like the works of Steven Erikson (Not SF) they're fantastically detailed, which isn't everyone's taste. The Cyberiad is a trove of beauty, ridiculous, sublime, educational - touching on t

Moral absolutism is the killer. There is no set of 'right' that you can apply regardless of context, actors or situation. Attempting to create such mental shortcuts is the problem, and perpetuating any as _absolutely_ 'correc
