OK, I had the same problem with phonetics. If you're facing it as a practical problem and just want to skip to the solution, it's easy: learn English with a native speaker, if possible one to one or in a small group. Without that

If fuels get more scarce, the prices will grow so high that petroleum would be too expensive to be used as fuel, compared to electricity, and the last reserves would be devoted to other uses. Also what about the "indestructible" p

Would a change of behavior/lifestyle change the depression? Yes. Clearly I disagree with others here. The problem is that it's a vicious circle so it's difficult to change your behavior/lifestyle. But if you can, maybe

The most terrible ones could also be the most difficult ones to change. Because if they're so terrible, the hidden reason to keep them in place must be specially strong. Or they could be extremely difficult to change because of some sh

Browsers are now beginning to block third-party cookies. I assume that means by default? I remember having that option like twenty years ago or something like that. Edit: Navigator had the option to block 3rd party images. Blocking 3rd pa

After Anders' departure, they created a promising project to make Delphi for Linux that was making progress. At the time Borland had sued Microsoft for some big IP feud. Then suddenly an arrangement was made. Delphi for Linux was rushe

I've thought about it and I think that the really infuriating thing is that somehow the program wrongly assumes that I made a typo, so it's wrong and telling me that I'm wrong. No! It's you!! You're wrong!!! DDG

I've searched for a product with a unique name and Amazons can't find it. "Do you need help?" not even "I'm unable to find what you need". Nice. The product is there. It works adding the company name.

if someone does the right thing, it usually doesn't matter whether or not they're done for the right reasons Totally agree. Unfortunately the reverse is also true: if someone does the wrong thing it usually doesn't matter w

Well, I mean the chain the_mitsuhiko -> whatshisface -> Retric -> gruez -> you And yes, there seems something got lost there. Assuming that the result is net-positive (which might be an incorrect assumption, but I'm going

As such, why does it matter if societally net-positive things are being done for selfish or altruistic reasons, as long as people do them? You are responding in the context of a thread without considering the reason the thread developed:

Star-like (4th to 5th mag) point, not blinking, moving across the night sky in about five minutes, consistent sinusoidal (full moon wide) trajectory... this wasn't too helpful, really.

I can't wait for Apple TV to make a Leibniz biopic series as they did with Asimov's Foundation. It would be so interesting watching her developing Calculus, thanks to her sightseeing powers while working for the emperor.

The truth is, you are not going to be very good, and lots of people who are orders of magnitude better than you can't make any real money playing piano, because that level of skill is so common. This isn't so much of a problem i

Doesn't gaining 600 points mean that you are able to beat the "old you" (or more precisely, people who you used to be even with) with 99% probability? I don't know what it means in theory. In practice I win and then lo

What's crazy is there is so much straight pure scam crap on the internet the FTC does nothing about. I mean, stuff that is obvious consumer harm. In my case I tried to cancel a subscription 30 days in advance recently (nearly 1K per y

"Astronomía" in Spanish, by José Comas Solá. It was a gift for me, almost 50 years ago. I think it was a little dated already.

I also thought that wasn't "fair" since many of the comparison images are taken with long exposure times. I have a very old astronomy book that includes similar drawings of Jupiter and they're much more detailed and real

Ketamine seems to be a commonly used drug in emergencies because it's a safer anesthetic than propofol when you don't know specifics about the patient and can't determine dosage.

The problem that the article doesn't address is that users don't actually seem to mind using terrible software so long as it solves the problem they face better than not using it. I've been saying that for a long time, but

I am not sure about Windows95... I am because I did a few multithreaded programs with it, including what the OP called "a big deal". Not sure what's your point though.

I guess what you call "built in Windows utilities" is making a call to the GUI shell. It's actually a very complex inter-process communication that happened to be a one-liner from VB and showed that fancy flying folders anima

This article sounds very familiar. I'm sure to have read an article about the very same two languages' constructs a long time ago. It's dated this year, but I wonder if the author could be recycling an old text.

Windows 95. Old style gui programming meant sitting in a loop, waiting for the next event, then handling it. The GUI worked in a single thread, but your whole program didn't need to do that. Being able to copy a file and type at the
