It's a recurring theme. People spend decades taming and beautifying a place. Then people with no respect or appreciation come and love all the "nature" and turn the place into exactly what they were trying to leave behind.

They'll strip the ads when they strip the watermarks.

Worse still is finding entire old projects with your name on them and not remembering them at all.

It's probably still a net win to build separate entrances if they would lose significantly more money on decreased value of the non-subsidized units than the separate entrances would cost.

Maybe we're talking about different kinds of issues. In the context of opinion-based disagreements (rather than matters of fact or evidence), an anti-consensus seems to indicate that there isn't (and can't be) one right answ

Not directly related to patents, but on the subject of judicial corruption IIRC there have been cases of judges directly colluding with youth correctional facilities to send as many kids as possible, or with estate lawyers to get elderly de

When two people strongly hold the opposite opinions on the same team, it can be a massive hassle for absolutely zero benefit. On teams, or in life in general, IMO when there is no consensus, or even an anti-consensus, the only rational gl

I believe that you can trigger this with the forward-slash key, and close the bar with Enter, if you prefer not to have every keypress trigger a search.

Never tried any of them myself and don't know which they were referring to, but the other replies are probably in the right direction.

I have a couple of older static sites (one using Jekyll/Octopress, one using Middleman), and if I ever do a bundle update something is guaranteed to break. Not sure if that's the "bloat" the parent comment is talking

rare to see people go the other way I suspect this is literally true, but only because we don't see them. I've heard second-hand the story of a top developer at a famous unicorn who just couldn't keep up with all the sti

Might also try resizing the browser window. It's kind of a waste to have a single app fill the entire screen, just to put blank bars on the sides.

Just need to make sure that the white coating doesn't block radiation of heat to the building underneath when black is facing the sun.

As one example of how to slow a story: back when Wikileaks was first really trending, Facebook would sometimes just take a really long time to submit a post, or simply error out, if you tried to post a URL from Wikileaks.

I wish I could pay that cost, and get rebated over time as others attach, perhaps with some time dependence. Some utilities do work that way in some places, though I only know of one example as a proof of existence. When someone I know b

A service that is basically a one way video conference call with a remote system isn't exactly a benchmark for high performance/low latency gaming.

I have an Ensoniq SQ-80 synthesizer that did something like that. A microcontroller generates 8 channels of sounds from a PCM wavetable, and those are fed into 8 analog filters before mixing down to stereo. But all of the waveforms and en

We only need to find 0.00013% of the US population Maybe we should use sortition then instead of elections? What could be more democratic than random average people (meeting some criteria) taking a turn at the wheel?

Usually conversation is less crisp. That sounds great, but more like an audiobook or NPR. It's probably going to be hard to sound conversational with only one voice speaking though.

I'm currently working on something vaguely related, but presently focused on converting stereo to arbitrary N-channel surround (and documenting it on YouTube). I agree that spatialization should be more standardized, and it should be

But if that GPIO triggers an interrupt, you might be able to get the processor to do interesting things by oscillating the signal faster than the processor can disable interrupts and run the ISR.

There are quite a few ways for a site to distinguish private/incognito from normal browsing, and IMO these differences should be treated as bugs. Indeed, these differences often break sites (including a vaccine registration site) that

The reverse compromise, where the email is hacked would require exactly that though. It's not a problem with one solution. It's many problems that require a human point of contact.

It is possible to display more than one application on screen at arbitrary sizes, so the shape of the window should be what matters, not the shape of the display. Browsing maximized on a 27" widescreen display is an uncomfortable wast
