On one hand it will be great to read more of his work but on the other hand I will have to read the god awful reviews and overhear my friends discussing these works at parties. J.D. Salinger is society’s most unflattering mirror.

The logo was translucent and also allowed light in from the back. There was a logo-shaped burn issue but it was caused by ambient light shining through the logo. At least that's how I understood it. Edit: https://discussions

Given the choice between a person with a particular hairstyle and a person who minimizes the value of others by mocking their appearance, I would choose to work with the former.

The 100-mile border zone is being enforced. Are you contradicting the news articles, videos and other first-hand accounts of raids taking place far from the border? The evidence is right in front of your eyes.

The ACLU, MIT researchers, think tank representatives and the border patrol itself contradict your claim in the article. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1357 https://www.aclu.org/oth

You say it is not new as though you are contradicting the article. Newspapers publish opinions, analyses and reviews as well as coverage of current events.

I have had some amazing learning experiences from watching someone live code. When the intention is to show people how to actually go about the act of coding itself then it makes sense to do so with a live demo. In the cases that worked for

Why do you need a theory to explain the skin tones? Why does it matter at all? What is so triggering for you about a web page without a depiction of a white person?

If you ever feel that you need to know the skin color of a project's author in order to judge it properly then you are the one with the problem.

Why does it take an article in Bloomberg to inform you of that? If you are concerned about your information being shared by the company to which you are disclosing it then why not look into the security of your data before handing it over?

The article has an appropriate amount of technical and political discussion. The words “she is right” are simply not in this community’s vocabulary.

It seems to me that everyone is trying to normalize terminology and job titles instead of normalizing skills and disciplines. Why not read a book or follow a tutorial? Anyone can learn CSS from zero to expert in a week. Instead we spend tim

I bought a brand new SE a few months ago for $180. It was from a third party but Apple verified the serial as original and unused. It wasn't availability or pricing that kept them from anyone who wanted one, it was the lack of name-bra

No one has claimed that Oumuamua is likely an alien device. It has been cited as a possibility and that possibility is being touted as justification for doing more to study such objects. Most of these comments are arguing against a claim th

What? I was referring to the development philosophy that I saw reflected in the above comment. I even said that I was not referring to any specific features, including this one.

by porphyrogene 8y ago
Without getting into too deep a discussion of features, this development attitude of “implement everything, let them use what they want” is historically awful. The developers lose focus on what they are making, the users lose focus on what

Does Heathrow bear a resposibility to prove anything to you or any other random person on the internet? You seem to be insinuating some conspiracy by asking vague questions.
