I think it is necessary to recognise an author's moral right to the work or, if you wish, mandatory attribution. No-one ought be allowed to take someone else's work as theirs. Beyond that the issue gets a bit hazy.

The statement was not a polite version of the original. It offered additional information . You may not see any problems with it, nor agree with the article's assertions. That is your choice. Equally the "dick" is allowed to tell them it i

> That's not being polite. Being polite would be to say "Just visiting for fun". No, that is revealing information unnecessarily. "Sorry, I am not required to answer that question" is a polite version of "none of your business".

The U.S. border is awful. It was awful when I used to travel under visa waiver and if anything it got worse when I got my green card (currently fingerprinting, soon iris scans, in addition to abusive questioning). Edit: it is like a welc

Did the upvoters actually read and understand this post and its errors and decide to up it just because it was an "interesting" boneheaded post? Or maybe it is all the anti-TDD folks upvoting first and then maybe checking the whole thing ac

The name probably makes more sense for people who wrote software before it came about. Even "non-agile" development processes have evolved in response in the last 8 or so years.

Up here in the cold, dark north a recent trend in alarm clocks is to incorporate A) a gradually intensifying "natural" bright light (think light therapy) starting about 30 mins before wakeup and B) a "natural" alarm sound such as bird calls

The rim. The seat, provided it is solidly built and attached. Anecdotally I feel quite stable either way. Edit: the trick to perching on various narrow surfaces, for me, is to have the heel on one side an the ball of the foot on the other.

Hrm, the images on the site look fuzzy, could not stand to look at that for long. The font is also a bit too…expressive? The round shapes are very prominent. There seems to be some disproportion to some letters which makes text look uneven

Even writing e.g. "frimaerke" is not unintelligible, though. One could also imagine that ø and æ were replaced by the more common ö and ä in the future. I think the "there are so few letters and they are relatively simple" is the point here
