   I'm not an Apple guy so let me ask a naive question: is this even close to a functional equivalent? Quick research makes this look like just mounting a remote filesystem. That's very different than being a package format, with de

   IIRC from a West Wing episode (where spoiler, the Speaker of the House becomes president due to an invocation of the 25th Amendment) one cannot serve two branches of the government at the same time. I'll try to find the law that backs

   You're affirming the consequent. The truth is that "it's the enterprisey way to use Java", which is what leads to examples like this. The converse is not true, which is that it's the Java way to be enterprisey.

   Ok as epic as that is, if usability is desired, you can disable showing all cores and instead only show an average.

    Why do you say that? I mean every single review I saw of the Model S was fairly deliberate about praising the performance of the car. What's the counter point to that?

    Hmm, I tried to use SketchUp a month or so ago, after being a proficient AutoCAD user but not touching it since around 2005. I'm curious what parts of the UI are more usable in SketchUp than AutoCAD. For 2D drafting, I got up to spee

    Thanks for this. The most interesting one to me is that there seems to be clear political will to restrict gun ownership in urban areas. I'd always wondered if the whole debate wouldn't be a lot less heated if it was done at a r

    Are opinions on guns really divided along generational lines though? I mean going from my experience on Reddit, any time someone even suggests the U.S. should restrict gun ownership, that person gets a dozen or so upvoted replies reminding

    I'm having trouble following your height example because "finding" is not well defined, and it's conflating rate of occurrence with certainty. Being on a blind date with someone who is 6'8" is like knowing some

    Again, that is not saying you have to exceed the limit, it's just saying if you're slower than the flow of traffic, then you have to move over and let people pass.

    There's a big asterisk there, and that was that he got the ticket for being in the fast lane . That's different than forcing someone to speed (i.e. break the limit even in the slow/only lane).

    In which jurisdictions is it illegal to obey the speed limit if traffic is going faster? I know some jurisdictions have charges for impeding traffic but that's always been for when you're going under the limit. I'm skeptica

    I disagreed with that too, but mostly because those tests are a core part of Bash programming. If you don't know what they mean by reading them, then you just need to learn. It'd be like defining an "and" function and w

    So to answer the OP's question, we're not confused, and JS still sucks for refactoring? (as I have to maintain a big monolothic client-side JS app, and good tools for refactoring would be most welcome)

    I use IDEA for Java and JS, and the JS intelligence is nothing compared to the Java intelligence. I would never rely on the refactoring tool to do an operation in Javascript. It simply can't do much past grepping and guessing. In Jav
