The shared-everything vision of the future ignores the extent to which people's cars serve as extensions of their home and storage. Having a bunch of stuff always available when you need it, and knowing that nobody else will stink up

Drop a debugger statement in above the code in question If you're using Pry as your REPL, you can use Pry's ls and show-source commands to get more of the info you want at once, with less typing. It's basically calling

Now, whenever we have changes in one of the core libraries, we also run full tests in the library consumers. This can also be done with CI triggers across repos.

Wow, everything you list as bad is everything I consider good. Nothing is worse for a neighborhood than the tyranny of ordinances requiring homogenized, historic designs. It's a good thing there's more than one building in the wo

Movies aren't the same as advertisements. There's an entire industry devoted to product placement and promotional consideration. Evolution was an ad for shampoo. Fast and the Furious was an ad for cars. Independence Day was a

I've seen the same thing, and I've never enabled backups. I'd really like to know what it's doing.

Yes, but cause and effect are reversed from the teacher's perspective. They mark the video as "made for kids" because that's the easiest way to disable comments.

I know K-12 educators who post videos primarily for their students and fellow local teachers, and they disable comments and voting because bored kids will fill the comments with crap, and scammers will target the kids.

Awesome, so if I'm understanding correctly it's analogous to, but better than, the lens modeling that a panorama stitcher will use, and its applications are as the calibration stage of an image stitching, 3D vision, object trackin

The life of a building comes from the way it is used, not the way it is decorated. There is no need to decorate the outside of the WTC, because it's the experience of being inside that matters. As for gray cubes, you can shine any col

Average age of accounts is a pretty big factor in credit scores. Every bank will probably have its own proprietary rules for deciding when to offer credit, but the credit reporting agencies who generate a number use fairly well known crite

Political ideology is not a protected class, whereas the others are. That's clearly a mistake of history. Political affiliation or non-affiliation really needs to be protected at the same level as religious affiliation or non-affili

No bank will let you go on a $500k spending binge when you've never had more than $5k in your account. And no amount of averaging over a lifetime will make up for the fact that rent is due now.
