Maybe I am mistaken but it seems to me that the stack is implemented with a Javascript. I am a bit disappointed, in the sense that the stack too could have been implemented as a a list of tags in the containing document. This would enable i

My father wanted a computer for doing CAD, so of course he needed a 387 beside the 386. From what I remember, unlike the 386, for which both Intel and AMD models were available, the 387 was produced only by Intel, which meant that the cheap

Yes. While some of the Anime mentioned by the parent may be known to a more general public, that doesn't mean that it is the same for the vehicle. For those that know the Anime, Takumi's AE86 is really something different. The car

Surprised that the choice for Gunma was not Initial D [1]. The Anime mentions a lot of places and there are few (if any) vehicles in Anime more iconic than the protagonist's Toyota. [1] https://myanimelist.net/anime&#x2

You can't blame algorithms, you can blame those writing and using them. Humans at Amazon decided to add such a feature to Alexa, somebody else implemented it and somebody decided to use crap data, so you can blame somebody.

I think that's because it depends not only how much you drink, but also how often. For example if you drink 4 beers in one night, you may consider that night as heavy drinking, but you are not heavy drinking in general if you do it onc
