This is going to make peoples lives worse. People who still need to drive are going to drive, but will instead end up paying more. > That’s because most people, correctly, can’t imagine any time soon when they won’t need to use a car for

It's in the corporation's best interest to ensure a steady income flow. That's about it. Corporations only care about 'what the customer wants' insofar as how much it affects a steady income flow. I think you have m

It looks like the car doesn't travel in a straight line (it wobbles) because it's trying avoid parked cars.

Isn't it just that people who are 'more diligent and [tend] to strive for success' tax their bodies more by working harder? Whereas 'lazier' people tend to give their bodies more time to recuperate? Adversity isn&#x

I'm working on a Masters in CS right now and have been interested in heading into some form of 'Data Science', whatever that may entail. Does this mean that only physics/math/stats majors are getting into this field

tmux is a good alternative to the whole paradigm of 'running shell commands within a text editor like vim'. Why run a shell command within vim when one can run the shell command in an actual shell? It seems to me that running a sh

Your for loop works, whereas the one in the parent comment would run forever, correct? Is there something I'm missing here? edit: Ok, looking at it again the parent example is probably going to overflow or something right?

The creator of Elm works for your company though [1]. Seems like your experience is going to be a lot different from the average developer because you can probably walk 20 steps to the designer of Elm to ask a question. I haven't used

How much of an effect does the camera lens make in page warping? Correct me if I'm wrong, but for shorter focal length lenses I would think it would warp the page more. If a person accounted for that, could they get a near perfect resu

enter is used to insert elements into the DOM; if there is data in the data-set which isn't represented in the DOM, then new elements will be inserted which have that data. It doesn't have to do with animations really, though you

This is anecdotal but half of the time I've sent one it was never received by the other party. And, it didn't tell me it wasn't received, the other person just didn't receive it. I'm not sure if this is because it&

In chapter 2 of the tutorial, he mentions Commodore DOS as being an OS which resides in ROM (read only memory), which means it's definitely possible. I'm just a laymen but I'd wager that there are some cases where this is st

StackOverflow is a good place for intermediates and up. IRC is a better place for beginners, but truly if people are just starting out they need a dedicated teacher, or they need a good manual / tutorial that they read front to back.
