Public domain (if it isn’t obvious from the year), which is a far cry from content that has been just produced or aggregated.

Cryptocurrency, definitely yes. Bitcoin, hopefully not. I’m fundamentally opposed to rewarding that particular wealth redistribution scheme.

I feel like ‘vocabulary’ is a slightly misleading word in this context, since it implies some level of understanding. ‘Set of allowed combinations of letters’ is evidently the measure used.

Gonna second this. Do something fun , whatever it is. You don’t need to be a hero the first day. Go in well-rested, motivated, and open-minded. The company pays you to learn their stuff.

Of course it’s possible . If a human body can do it without mechanical aid, it’s possible there’s someone with the requisite attributes. Whether it’s likely is a different matter.

The point of these is, presumably, to be as comfortable as conventional tires.

I was deeply disappointed with the syntax… there are so many compromises because of underlying semantics that the ‘rubyish’ layer on top is very clunky. It does cut down on a lot of Erlang boilerplate, so it’s still a better option… but I’m

No; and if I have the time I’ll find an article… but basically poverty is a state that worsens decision making skills. It’s a chronic crisis, a chronic stressor, and it affects the way people think. Short-term infusion of money will proba

No…evolution is about the past, not the future. It has no goal in mind. In this theory, for some reason the women with those traits (which in all likelyhood existed before) became to be seen more desirable, thus lead to more offspring, thus

I'm not entirely familiar with what omnibox does, but there're a few search bar addons, and quickly testing on 11, typing "whuh" in the navigation bar goes to a Google search too. Personally, I just use vimperator (the clones of which on Ch

It doesn't really make sense. Given we use a left-to-right and up-to-down, \ can be seen slashing forward in writing direction, starting from the top, and / backward. Upslash / and downslash \ would make more sense, but this is what we have

I'm not sure whether you're just arguing or genuinely of this opinion. Whichever the case, I hope you can accept that a great number of people, when in the described situation, will not think the message “pro-active and respectful”. Is th

The short answer is that browser vendors need to get their act together. They've shirked this because no-one's demanded it. Fortunately until they do, broadly, a browser user will always want the newest resource, and the type can usually be

They're different things, just like eating and drinking are different things. I don't really know what Rails is doing with them, but it's a really simple reason at the HTTP scope. PUT is A) idempotent (meaning that repeated operations have

It's passive-aggressive, because it doesn't directly address the problem. A direct message would have been at the door and said: “Please stop throwing paper on the floor, there's a wastebasket on the other side of the room”. (I also suspect

I might have to read that at some point. Offhand, it would seem that carpeting Sahara and comparable areas would give quite sufficient yields of solar energy, especially combined with nuclear. Feasibility is another matter, naturally.

MDMA is definitely an upper, both in the sense of being a stimulant, and elevating mood. You're correct that street varieties are now mostly mixed with amphetamines. … I'll note that I wasn't referring to abuse in the sense of substance a

Only uses #push and #pop, so it's actually a stack. I dunno why it's named queue.

On a related note, giving my contact information to you isn't a permission to forward it to someone else (granted in this case without your knowledge). I wish this aspect got more attention.
