As I recall there is a loose connection between them due to history. When Perl added an object system in version 5 it was heavily influence from Python and Ruby's designer was inspired by Perl. You can see a lot of similarities betwe

In my experience I will hear a shimmering effect that sounds like a tremolo where the volume of the hi-hats and other cymbals are fluctuating. It also causes the overall sound of cymbal crashes to be mushier and less distinct. In addition

The problem Kubernetes is trying to solve is to eliminate the burden and potential mistakes in the workflow you mentioned by automating your container deployments and actively monitoring their state. This allows the cluster to balance work

At least from my perspective this has been an ongoing problem for many years now and I would refer you to Godwin's law. There is this weird sort of mystique about Hitler and the Nazi Party that keep people entranced that it was "p

What you are talking about is consumer entertainment. Even utility apps like Google Maps are something you have to learn and yes I'm tired of all the "What's new! Don't do anything until you click me!" garbage. I

Completely agree and your call center example is dead on. I work in telephony and our feedback from clients is always to simplify displays and reports so that they can manage the call flows better. It was hilarious watching some of the rea

The handling for the resolv.conf file is embedded in the libc and is larger than Linux. This whole issue is a failure of the Linux distribution community to come up with coherent standards for managing a simple text file on a system using

I can see why the author might think mid to end game of Syndicate is a bit of a grind although to me that's really when the game started to get fun. You reach that inflection point where you have a demolition squad that can just roll

You should not be reading the Illiad to check a box. My advice is to approach it as a serious historical work and engage it with a mindset of trying to understand a culture that is very distant while providing clues of similarity to modern

At least as far as the UI is concerned: - No focus-follows-mouse options means I can't layer windows in a way that accelerates my workflows. Having to switch between windows constantly is a giant speed bottleneck for me. - No keybinds

At least from my point-of-view a lot of these activities went away as the feds started clamping down. When you can get a prison sentence for serializing URLs it just doesn't make sense to risk it anymore.

I have grave doubts about these claims. I don't have a copy handy but I seem to recall the author of "The China Study" making this claim and then presenting his lab evidence to support it. The evidence includes the admission
