From what I understand, there were the usual half-arsed plans from the same stable geniuses who invaded Iraq. I've mostly been facetious, but honestly, the fact that you would consider a response to an idle invasion threat from a seria

Worked fine for North Korea. No invasion plans that we've heard about so far.

I recall two SOAP-based services refusing to talk to each other because one nicely formatted the XML payload and the other didn't like that one bit. There is a lot we lost when we went to json but no, I don't look back at that stu

As someone who shifted from a lot of perl to a lot of python in the early 2000s, it was because the same shortcuts that made perl really great for system "archaeo-devops" scripting made it difficult to read others' code and t

I think our definitions of "identity politics" differ too much to have a useful discussion about it. I'm going off the most common definitions I can find (eg dictionaries, wikipedia), but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong

The far right pretty much across the world is learning just how fragile and consensus-based the institutions of democracy are all at once. They're watching and learning from each other. Hence you have people like Bannon involved in sim

Are you tracking actual identity politics or the term "identity politics"? Because the meaning of the term applies just as much to ending slavery, womens' suffrage and civil rights movements. Otherwise, you might as well argu

For this to work you pretty much have to start from scratch, putting in "obvious" things like "the sun exists and when its out it casts light and shadow" and "water is a liquid (what's a liquid?) and flows down

What? No, CPAP makes my sleep measurably (literally) better. But yeah, different people react to them in various ways. A relative couldn't keep hers on all night for a month, while I put mine on the first night and slept like the dead,

Also done very well in Monkey Island 2 with iMuse as well, in which a lot of care was taken in transitioning music with custom bridges. It was quite subtle and lovely, and is considered a high point in video game music. 1. A video demo: ht

I don't think that violates the GPL, it does only if you distribute the modified version without also providing the source changes.

I try to keep things simple because any attempt at a complex/heavy process will never become a habit. But what I find is, even the act of writing something down means I will remember it.

Nothing changed my work life more positively than having a notebook and pen with me at all times. "This is simple, I'll remember it, no need to write it down"... no you won't.

Assuming they are allowed lawyers, I suppose the lawyers have to fly to El Salvador too? When they are brought before judges, are the judges going to be in El Salvador?

From the outside, it continues to surprise me when people bring this up, as if they're either too ignorant to know about the Dixiecrat schism or want to pretend that everyone else is. What's the point? It's so easy to look up

Why would I accept your challenge? Your post and unwillingness to even spell "Khalsa" correctly speaks for the excellent faith and attention to detail that you're bringing to this discussion. Everything about your discussion

Thanks, I'm glad to help with OP's question. A more enlightened reader might have understood that I mentioned my wife to subtly suggest that there may be any number of reasons for white people to be working with Sikhs, but I keep

The headline has says "Khalsa aid volunteers", so maybe make more of an effort paying attention to the video you're complaining about? You literally said: > In the video you see precisely one person identifiable as a Sikh

Because you are making veiled assertions about a community cynically making charity about themselves, based on your quick visual analysis of a short reddit video. You're doing exactly what you're accusing everyone else of doing, w

Do you mean the one labelled "Khalsa Aid volunteers"? Are you suggesting that Khalsa Aid incorrectly took credit for the langar, or that Khalsa Aid has nothing to do with Sikhs?

What do you mean "clearly not Sikh"? Just not wearing a turban?

Back in the late 80s before ubiquitous digital audio, someone published a design for a sound card that used the parallel port and a super simple circuit with just some resistors. I found a similar recent one: http://jubatian.com&

I've no idea, I'm not an anthropologist. Are you? Here's how the logic works: I am stating that a person who clearly has a bone to pick with people who say red meat is bad for you, is misdirecting their ire in a thread about
