One method that I've seen used (heard it described by a guest one of Leo Laporte's podcasts a looooong time ago) is to iterate account names by year. For example, this year the email address would be pyre2016@example.com, and next

It doesn't really make much sense. Even if the toys were only bought for boys, and even if they strongly wanted Kylo Ren characters, there are many significant interactions between Rey and Kylo Ren in the movie. Why would they not

My point was that it's not as cut-and-dry as the parent post made it (like balancing a math equation or something). The 15 that you are not helping (at the moment) don't just wait on a shelf until you're ready for another bat

The difference is that there is no nationwide licensing body, so the license issued by the "nursing licensing body" in Texas needs to be transferred to the "nursing licensing body" in Washington state. And they need to a

I'm not seeing Amazon "criticized for offering jobs". Instead I see a list of very specific issues that arose from this arrangement: 1. Amazon may (or may not) have promised that the jobs were temporary-to-permanent rather th

It's not diplomas it's certifications. It (e.g.) a lawyer moves between states he or she may need to take that new state's bar exam.

The flip side is (e.g.) promising one thing, but delivering another then claiming it's "better than nothing" so nobody should complain.

I've met some people that have moved away from SF who are both intelligent hackers and arrogant. It's possible that your intelligent hackers were transformed by the SF atmosphere.

Are you implying that every single person under the age of 70 should be able to do it because your 70 year old father can do it? That's a pretty broad statement backed by nothing but anecdata.

This is a specific XFS behaviour. In this case, the slab was using up 4GB of RAM on a 8GB machine, and all of the normal tools were telling us that we were running out of free space in RAM. No such problems on other file systems.

Annotations / subtitles have their uses. For example, watch this[1] and choose "English (Movie Titles)" as the subtitle and you can figure out which movies all of the clips come from. [1]: https://www.youtube.com&#

Target was doing that during the liquidation sales in Canada (at least at the ones I was at). It's worth noting that I don't recall them doing that before they went belly-up.

While that might be true, keeping an old reference implementation around for 30+ years "just in case" you hit some aberrant behaviour or weird edge-case seems extreme. It seems to me (and I may be wrong) that it would make more se

It's already this way in a sense. There are many things that seem more "solid" to me in Vim because there is a default implementation that is baked into the editor. In Emacs, there are several different libraries and various

My understanding is the evil-mode emulates Vim, and viper-mode emulates Vi. Vim is "Vi iMproved", so it has more to it than just basic Vi.

Well, the other question is does it even need to be in the code? Could there be a documentation / spec file somewhere that uses this code as the reference implementation, and just add a comment that says "see spec file" next
