Is the Hindu and English ordering the same? If so, it's gone through two endian changes from India to Europe!

Given the context, I don't think they are mutually exclusive. It could be both a religious text and satirising other CoCs which are essentially religious in their own right.

Why? Why are people so concerned with "enforcement", which is basically "punishment"? A code of conduct should be nothing more than a set of guidelines which contributors should aspire to meet. It's not a legal te

Given the selective enforcement of some of these modern day religious texts (CoCs), one could strongly argue that the people with the power to enforce the CoC are already showing corruption far worse than any inappropriate conduct they purp

If you don't believe in (or criticise) the faith of Intersectionality, then you are subject to persecution and expulsion. There's a very disturbing parallel with the beliefs and aims of militant SJWs and the some of the worst asp

That's not a reason to be a fan. It's much unhealthier. Unless they are changing out the vegetable oil every day then it carries a much bigger cancer risk (due to aldehydes).

It's 2018. We have had SVG icons for years on Linux, which scale beautifully. Bitmap icons shouldn't be used any longer.

I did the same experiment, and often have the same thought. We might be intelligent, but collectively we do seem to act in the same manner.

It is in most of the UK rental agreements I've had. If they have to hire a cleaning service to clean it up, they recover the cost from your deposit. You're supposed to leave it in the good condition it was when you moved in.

This got so prevalent in England, that the law was changed UK-wide to require all deposits to go into a third-party deposit scheme so that the landlords didn't have possession of it themselves. Any repairs need to be justified and it

Maybe our assumptions about how momentum, gravity and inertia work are incomplete. General and special relativity describe it as a warping of spacetime, but while I've read all sorts about the equations, I have not yet read any descri

ZFS has now been ported to Windows. With some testing and polishing, maybe it will be something they could adopt in the future (I know, wishful thinking, but the technology is there).

It certainly brings the suitability of Windows for production use into question. Not only this bug, which is outrageous, but the direction of Windows 10 in general before this.

While this is true, this process has also happened in our own culture, albeit a few hundred years ago. In the UK the industrial revolution and agricultural mechanisation caused a huge migration from the countryside to the cities. Today, yo

The private sector also has strict regulatory compliance, taxation and legal systems to deal with. The accuracy and quality of work was vastly better than anything I saw in academia, which I continue to be shocked by in how sloppy much of

Many PhD programmes are now four years with the first year being rotations in several labs doing short projects for a few months each. At the end, you can decide which supervisor is the best fit and work on a mutually interesting project p

I know an ex-postdoc who's promising career was cut short by also identifying and exposing fraud. I suspect it's more common than we think, and it's thoroughly wrong that being honest and professional can ruin your career in

I and many others were not so surprised. The polls were wrong because privately many people are unhappy with the EU, and that wasn't reflected in public opinion polls. If nothing else, the result showed a major disconnect between the

An alternative viewpoint would be that it's entirely the fault of the politicians. Firstly, for not doing any preparation for the consequences of a leave vote prior to the referendum. Secondly for spending over two years prevaricatin

That's exactly the point I wanted to make. Tesla is in no way special compared with other companies. But there are plenty of people who think that it is, somehow, groundbreakingly different.
652.
by rleigh 8y ago
When your company is a tiny player, needing bailouts is largely irrelevant. Tesla didn't have anything like the risk and exposure which required the bailouts. Most of the major manufacturers didn't require bailouts either… Your

Ah, yes. That one is annoying, indeed. For the keyboard, on at least one playthrough, I think I counted the number of slider positions so you could solve it by the index of the keys on the keyboard. Still easier than the sound puzzle in M

The sound is not a requirement. You can complete it with a pencil and paper, mapping it out pretty quickly.

I'm sure that both are factors. However, it was fairly easy to work in different European countries before the EU or the EEC existed, it just needed some paperwork filling out, so I'm inclined to think this is a lesser factor. T

And yet, these cultural problems have existed for many decades. While I'm certainly not claiming that the Euro and EU are the sole causes of today's problems, the introduction of the Euro is the more recent change, and I think a

Surely a major factor for problems in both Italy and Spain is the crippling effect of the Euro and EU regulation. If the Euro were scrapped, it could make the economies much more competitive. Just look at how the drop in the pound over th

Potentially, very powerful. Running docker-based pipelines, deploying on kubernetes, and having it all integrated with the merge request review workflow is really, really nice. GitHub doesn't do anything at this level at all, even wi
