   I think his views are understandable in the lights that most games developments targets Windows platform, and text editors with GDB were for a long time not as mature on Windows compared to Linux. His comment on not keeping code in your hea

   Yet the US is drafting a bill to try non Americans subjects when victims are not Americans for crimes committed outside the US, literally replacing The Hague! See https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/

   Exactly. There are people who never set a foot on that region claiming the land from the comfort of their sofa, such as the owner of this site http://bir-tawil.com/

    The title is confusing, a back door implies something already baked in the system, but the article talks about a malware!

    We have a very similar tax system in the UK called “TV Licence”. Originally it was aimed at live broadcast but now includes BBC on demand such as iPlayer.

    On the contrary, I hate dealing with the various escaping characters for SQL, and to me SQLAlchemy expression is a life-saver. It gives me back a textual sql expression as a string and I can choose exactly how to run it. I do avoid the OR

    I couldn't recommend http://vimcasts.org/ enough. It's short and really well made, and fit within mobile screens. I wish there was something similar for Emacs! I started learning Vim 2009 when an older and much

    I pointed this earlier and was downvoted. As far as I know only Bush called it i-RAHK! As an Iraqi of course I felt it was idiotic of him not to know how to properly pronounce a name of a country he's leading a war into!

    I agree with you that flamewars are bad, and I didn't think I was starting one by stating the obvious. In fact, leaving my comment here, I doubt I would get any objections to it except yours! I recollect now that you posted "Plea
