We're getting the same thing. I don't care how cheap it is or how nice the customer service is, but if they are not up 99% of the time they will not be my web host.

When so many people higher up are given incomplete information or even downright embarrassed on the world stage because of one simple mistake, I feel it is appropriate. It is still, however, doubly insane that one person's stray keystr

Why on earth would it be intentional? Because they launched a missile with the intent of bringing down an airplane. It might be bad PR, but you would have to be one hell of a PR specialist to successfully spin this as an "unfortunate a

Sounds like both are losing situations. You don't know how a paranoiac who thinks you're going to mug him will react. He can run away or he can try to deal with you. At least in the second hypothetical, you are doing the responsib

I tried looking on the linked mazes page for a license, the closest thing (in my opinon) was a statement to feel free to reproduce for personal, school, and church use. I figure if I couldn't find the copyright notice, it's probab

I really think you end up at w3schools not because they are a quick reference, but because they always rank #1 on Google searches for web development terms.

I'm not sure that was a good example. MDN contains not only a description of individual attributes but also explains when you could use them and how. And this is why there was backlash against w3schools. It's a copy-paste site, an

I tried OCaml once. It was to figure out the algorithm Yaron Minsky (author of linked article) used for his orbital simulator, Planets. I only learned enough to port the code over to JS, and quickly forgot it. Coming from a procedural progr

It's related to the game's story. In the game, Chicago is interconnected with a computer system that allows one to control city infrastructure and eavesdrop on people. I guess the site is showcasing the eavesdropping part, in a ca

An aside on the women and cars thing: I recently read a story about a car repair shop in France run by women and for women customers, their aim being to prevent women from being ripped off. Those women found a reason to get into car repair.

I've been using Rocksmith. I think it only lets you get away with bad habits as long as you are comfortable with whatever rating it gives you. I know I was stuck in terms of progress until I learned proper technique elsewhere, then I c

I'm not sure how quantum computing would be explained, but if it is classical then yes, quantum computers really wouldn't provide any benefit. This brings to mind headlines recently on how so-called quantum computers could not out

It does make more sense when you stop to consider that more money in people's pockets stimulate the economy. It's why tax holidays generate so much revenue and economic activity. And the example the author used involving Henry For

Wanting the cops to do the same consideration of their other options is the regulatory and legal issue rdtsc was talking about. You want the cops to do that, you have to impose penalties that will actually be enforced on the cops, and the p

I don't think it will necessarily improve typing speed, but it is definitely a good test. I suggest you supplement Typeracer with a touch typing tutor app. My favorite is klavaro ( http://klavaro.sourceforge.net/en/

Best reason I could think of is just the sheer size of space. Say we have a fleet guarding Earth from the edge of the solar system, by edge I mean at or near the heliopause. Consider that at that distance, it takes home base, Earth, 10 hour

I assume the task would be made easier by having computers scan the space around the spacecraft through a wide range of wavelengths, from thermal to xray including visible. We generally find near-Earth asteroids the day of their encounter w

I second the Bamberg and Sternberg recommendation. Those books are great introductions to differential geometry and E&M. You can go directly to part 2 if you already have a strong calculus foundation, but part 1 will give that to you an

That's why lawmakers often want a voucher system, to give the lower income students the power of school choice.
