First, "American culture" is a very loose and nebulous term at best, and an attempt to straw-man all your opponents at once at worst. America is a very large and very diverse nation; please be a little clearer as to which culture

That is bad advice. It remains advisable to wear a helmet. What you are saying is roughly equivalent to, "If car infrastructure is sufficient, we will no longer need helmets." At best the need is reduced.

Except not breaking does not a good keyboard make. It still is very bad, no travel, no resistance, feels like a kids' toy. Make something solid and durable for once, apple.

I can't believe they aren't double-shot. Or just color the whole thing, like Nintendo did with its switch buttons. Lettering and all, so it never rubs off. That would be the kind of quality I'd expect to see for the price

I get it's an easy target to make fun of, and it's probably over-priced, but the concept of a separate stand is not entirely unreasonable (especially as many "pros" already have stands they like). At least they're

Mis-types, reliability, etc. aside, I just don't like the keyboard. Normal chiclets are bad enough, but the mac is worse. Essentially zero travel, and I find my self bottoming out each stroke and typing what is evidently much too har

Doing things in-kernel is almost always faster. No dealing with complicated context-switching, moving memory back-and-forth, etc. I can't necessarily provide a formal, data-backed citation, but it's pretty well understood.

I was just looking for something that could print hex color codes to the terminal the other day. The best solution I found was some hacky perl script which was hit-or-miss with certain colors, for some odd reason. Much appreciated.

You could probably just crack open the browser extension, prettify it, and send a few sample requests to get the hang of whatever API is used pretty quickly. I doubt it will provide one, as there aren't many users demanding it.

Maybe the question we ought to be asking, then, is, "Why are our youth not motivated to study?" This seems to be true across all background, excepting one: first-generation Americans. I was certainly motivated to study, even thi

I can't figure out why you would need to re-format that often. Perhaps you have some kind of esoteric peripheral with a bad driver? I've never had such issues, even though I tinker with mostly-hidden settings and break things I&

America wasn't for a long time. You can find footage of most leftist politicians supporting stronger borders. Basically, President Trump made it a campaign issue, and so the left stopped. Orange Man bad, basically.

But public transport is simply not as good for now; ramming it down people's throats is not a solution. It is crowded, unclean, slow, and noisy. I have to listen to some one else blaring his music, or some fat guy taking two seats.

This is especially true. In fact, a "perfect competition" actually specifies homogeneous goods. Technically, differentiation (i.e. no longer just powder in a cardboard box) is what enables all the screwiness being discussed.
