Very true! I also took a look at it to figure out why it was showing up that way. They look like they are the same magnitude of thing (city) and they both have population. I'm wondering if it's actually showing Camden county?

I'm not being facetious, don't take it the wrong way, but you could fix it. It's surprisingly easy. I fixed a bunch of stuff wrong with my home town and found it pretty gratifying

Try periodic emails to past clients - I hire quite a few contractors and I like it when they check in and am more likely to go for someone who has done something good and kept in touch periodically.

I think darmok is using whitewashed to mean "sanitized" or "cleaned up" not "has a greater percentage of white people". Like when congressional testimony whitewashes a friendly fire incident, it generally means

Excellent anecdote and encouragement - I think it's spelled "pharaoh" though.

The trouble with that idea is that it is very difficult to rent a heavy duty vehicle for towing. Most rentals explicitly disallow towing or other types of heavy usage.

The first problem is a problem with US drivers in general. I don't know what we should do about it, except perhaps test people's driving abilities more frequently. I, for one, honk at people who fuck up my roundabout experience.

A tool is an insult for a person who is a jerk with a high opinion of themselves. Appending bag to tool is an enhancer to the original insult, like douche vs douchebag. You also get things like jerkbag or dirtbag or dickbag. I think I&#x2

I think the dirty secret is that the 150k jobs aren't really always harder than the 60k jobs, and sometimes they even treat you better because your social status is greater

Some of the confusion comes from African-American essentially being an ethnicity. There is a shared culture and heritage, but in addition to the normal aspects of an ethnicity there is the element that people from the dominant American eth

I'm fairly certain that even if you control for income and education, black people are still treated more harshly by the justice system. I won't venture to guess whether there are regional differences as well...

Time is some other thing? It isn't a dimension? How do you do Newtonian physics like that? As far as extra dimensions being a crutch, I must disagree. Take 6-axis mills for instance. To accurately describe the position of the tool

I don't see what math's Turing-completeness has to do with models describing physical system. It means that math can describe whatever model is most accurate, but it can also describe plenty of unphysical models. If you want expl

I like to structure my computer so directories are either full of directories or files, but never both. It cuts down on directories named "misc" and makes for a relatively easy burrow to something relevant

White privilege is just one type of privilege, it's not the only one. Rich white guys get two sorts of privilege - not only are police less likely to stop them because of their race (for instance), if they do get stopped they will be

That's a really good point about using a lightly locked gate as a way of collecting interested people's email. Even in the case of a totally marketing averse 'free as in beer and speech' open source project, an email li

Don't let me stand in the way of an opensource bundle promotion dealy-bopper, but all I meant was borrowing the concept that they use when you "buy" a bundle. Instead of letting a user directly download whatever free opensou

Has anyone tried a Humble Bundle approach, where users buy the software and have the option of entering $0? I suspect having a non-zero default payment and a guilt-inducing average payment would encourage people to donate, while allowing t

Yes, but I'd wager they would fail rapidly. For actual hard problems that require top talent (in opposition to your normal 'rockstars wanted'), a startup would need: A. Enough talent among the founders to make a demo good eno

They have a sales funnel that you fell out of. It's a really common, and apparently effective type of funnel. By whatever measures they are using, they're probably better off without you. I also miss the old web, where articles

If password management software was so easy, my mom would use it and my dad wouldn't call tech support every week to figure out how to use his. I'll say that it's better than it has been, but I can't call it easy.

I have only tried FP a little bit, but I personally found value in non mutating data and removing side effects, even in the portions of my code that are OO. It's refreshing getting rid of the whole class of bugs caused by developers us
