That depends a lot on the issuing university. At some of the medieval university, e.g. Cambridge, the only undergraduate degree is a BA, regardless of subject. Likely because the naming of the degree predates the modern usage of the word s

In countries with stronger labor protections, or in unionized workplaces, when layoffs are obviously on the horizon, they're often preceded by a round of voluntary layoffs, where people are actively told to ask if the want to be layed

I've always tried to operate this way, loans create an obligation, but for when people are uncomfortable with a gift, I lean towards the pay-it-forward approach. That's not to say there is no place for loans, but for me it has to

Curious as to what your definition of very small is. The UK is above median land area for a country, #21 for population, #6 for gdp, it's principal island is the 9th largest. I mean, yes, the UK is not the same scale as the USA, Chin

Or you can choose not to use the inflectional morphology of another language on a loanword. Especially in a case like octopus where it (arguably) isn't a loanword

We used the PhysX engine in a simulated environment for robotics development back in that timeframe. I don't think more than one or two people on the team had the accelerator cards, but it worked surprisingly well just on a vanilla har

Everything published by Tor I believe, plus, of course, everything on Gutenberg [Edit: tor books, not the other tor. Although presumably everything is there regardless of legal status]

I had a (small) fire in the wall of a house in about 2000. Turned out the rubber insulation had fallen off the wiring, in various places there were just pairs of bare copper wires. An electrician friend helped me rewire, and we layed in cat

Memories of my first job, between high school and university, I worked as a technician in a pharmaceutical formulation lab. Our main project was a topical Diclofenac preparation. We worked on both creams and an aerosol (post foam) dispenser

Late response. I'm inclined to believe that the original paper, and the work done by the archeologists etc. is of the highest standard. The article itself was quite poorly written

The low sample sizes jumped out at me too. The article is low quality in plenty of other ways too.

This was my take too. It bothers me, perhaps a little irrationally, that chiropractic get a pass that other forms of quackery don't. https://quackwatch.org/chiropractic/general/ My understanding of the eviden

I'm having the same issue with images on Android. It's a great article though, I love your frankness with the downs as well as the ups of your process. FWIW, The Nintendo link is UK only, which is a mild trip hazard to people inst

As others have mentioned, maybe seed it with a few hundred – thousand of your favourite recipes. Apart from then being immediately useful, I suspect that you'll learn a lot about usability in the seeding process

I use a similar format for recipes, happy to see that others have also reached the same place, it just feels intuitive to me

It's tried and tested for sure, I first encountered them in 94 but I assume they're much older. A little sleuthing shows that (TIL) they are an application of Z-order curves, which date back to 1906

TBH even quadkeys are a fun answer to OPs question, many people aren't aware of them. Simple explanation: If you have data with x y coordinates and you know the bounds. To compute the quad key for a point: 1. The key starts as the empt

Well, this explains something. When my daughter was very young I used to take her to bookstores as an activity (the kids sections are often setup like play spaces) and without fail she'd fill her diaper. Juggling a kid with a full diap

Tor books are all DRM free, and have been for a while. It's nice to be able to archive purchases. Also when using an ereader where artwork isn't always very accessible you can just open the zip file and look at it with a better im

Yeah, and that sucks for sure. And it's a measure of management quality as to how they incorporate your feedback on this

This is where the fun begins for some of us. Coming in to a codebase that has been growth focused for 10 years but now needs to be rock solid and yet also allow the next 10 years growth.
