From what I have experienced the complex data structures used here are more about maintaining responsiveness when overall system load is high and that may result slightly slower performance overall. Say you used the variable "x" a

If you actually did it it would not be a simple affirmation for long, your mind will quickly start to wander as the act of writing the same thing over and over becomes more automatic and what your mind will wander towards is what you are wr

There was not one thunderstorm in the years I lived in the PNW or the years I lived in Austin TX, it is more complicated than how far north you are. There was a very good thunderstorm during my vacation in Alaska a few years ago but I have

Here in Minnesota we have had at least 6 in the past month including a thunder snowstorm, I would call "3 per year" as rare, not fairly often.

It is nice to know that Pipedreams is still going and even with Michael Barone still hosting after all these years. My earliest memory of music and one of my earliest memories is the opening sequence of Rollerball with Bach's Toccata a

>Kensington Slime Blade pro The Kensington Expert holds its ball much better and uses the same size ball. I found the Slim Blade Pro to be awkward in general, the ball sticks up too high above the buttons/body.

I play a fair amount of breakout with a Kensington Expert trackball, works fairly well and a considerable improvement over a mouse or trackpad. I do not see the ergonomic track balls working well here but never tried, the small trackball me

In scripts, yes, but they are not without their dangers and can be especially troublesome when working in the terminal since almost no one types out and checks the full paths constantly, they just let tab completion take care of it and assu

There are quite a few half finished GUI designers for it but I suspect they all remain half finished because the people who start in on them realize that such a tool will not get Tcl/Tk onto the level of QT or GTK and fights against wh

I made that switch quite a few years ago, got sick of dealing with extensions and configuring browsers. Vivaldi gives me enough out of the box to call it good.

I made no such judgement, just sort of but not really implied that I would rather serial killers die than random people and then admitted it in a purely intellectual pie in the sky sort of way—killing serial killers will not end war. Plenty

My definition of utopia allows for disagreement, my issue was with his methods, avoiding the original point and not the disagreement. I never tried to justify anything, at most I expressed a preference for killing serial killers over having

The "state" does not have a preference, states are conflicted by nature. Probably would not take much effort to find examples of serial killers who were not killed doing something bad, killing another inmate, killing a guard, gett
