So many of the author's examples required different bits of code for different browsers. It's almost like they don't understand why people use jQuery and just chalk it up to ignorance when using a framework it's almost a

It's possible to run a query to modify the contents of a database without changing the schema. You may already be familiar with the UPDATE statement, for instance. And not every database in existence is part of a larger stack. I don&#x

RStudio is great for R files, but has awful memory leaks if you're using it for RSweave/knitr documents. I weaned myself off RSTudio onto Sublime+Various Packages+R Console and couldn't be happier.

PG Commander has a better UI. Not as good as Sequel Pro for MySQL, but it's something.

I don't think my definition is narrow or restrictive at all. You're forgetting all the other fields of human interest, like the humanities, healthcare, transportation, engineering, the arts, etc. That's a pretty wide swath an

The only characters that introduce separation in a standard typeface are the ones with descenders: q, y, p, g, j, and some punctuation characters. I have no idea why you think i_f, r_a, c_e, or almost any of the other pairs of letters in yo

Maybe there's something wrong with your browser. The underline style is only interrupted slightly for descenders. It continues through spaces and other punctuation like it does normally. It looks nothing like a phrase with each word

Just because there are more important things to do worry about than one particular thing doesn't mean no one on earth should worry about that thing until everything else is fixed. I really need to vacuum my car, but maybe I should hold
