How were these words applied to walls? Did vandals have to walk around with a paint bucket and brush? Was it carved out? Or perhaps walls were finished with some sort of wet plaster and people had a short window of time to write in it with

I couldn't agree more. There is a massive survivor bias in the "follow your dreams and be successful like me" school of advice.

All windows apps look the same. And all Mac Apps. Maybe Bootstrap is the beginning of making all things web look/work/feel similar to on another. Is that terrible?

He's saying compared to retina elements visible in the browser chrome or (on a laptop screen) in other applications open at the same time. If everything on both the retina and traditional screens was not retina optimized than I can't imagin

It's interesting, but you're going to get a lot of human complication involved. You'll need administrators with the expertise to vet all those types of people. If money is flowing through you, customers will expect you to guarantee qualit

I am a bit baffled by the switch from your 2010 scenario myself. Many people were obsessed with semantic markup, but now things like bootstrap.css come along that clearly violate that idea and I don't hear a peep about it. Some people rec

So is this extreme hard work a sufficient condition, or just a necessary one?

Every reasonable person stops before "free ponies". But not all reasonable people stop before free health care.

There are a whole lot of hamsters that fit that description though. If an innovation can get people, any people, out of cars and onto bikes somewhat safely, it's a good thing.

It is great, but in my opinion "almost as good" is a big stretch. Having a tutor right next to you is fundamentally different in a number of ways. For one, you can ask any question and likely have it answered immediately. Of course, the K

I agree. I ran a company with a name similar to ChicagoSpanishTutor and literally four out of five people remembered it incorrectly. No use fighting, just find a better name or make some change on your part that makes it easier to remembe

I more often hear they say to write . Though I'll concede reading a lot is also important.

I feel like reputation is an asset that pays dividends. You can sell it off in part or whole for a short term cash gain, but then your dividend payments will shrink accordingly.

Why have an m2m table? Just have a table with two columns: post_id (or whatever is being tagged) and tag (varchar). If you want to present a list of possible tags just query for uniques. I may be missing something, so please correct me if t

And most of us are programmers, right? Beyond some very low threshold I can not imagine WPM factors into programmer productivity. If you are a writer then perhaps it would help.

Great UI can be created without adding anything new. Use old things well, in intuitive ways, and you already are ahead of 99% of your competition anyway.

Yes, that seems entirely possible.

I have never met a person that never lies. But they rarely consider it "lying". It is a thresh-hold issue, a matter of getting through life and a balance between morality, convenience, and what level of inaccuracy constitutes falsehood. "I

College can also open your eyes to a vast array of scholarly disciplines and help you become a well-rounded, cultured, and thoughtful person. It doesn't always work, and it's not the only way to reach this end, but it's not a bad option.

Why must we always jump from A to B? I see this happen in all contentious subjects, but nowhere more than in education discussions. The top-poster's point was about a very specific type of problem he's seen with some people watching some of

I used to teach math and reading Lockharts Lament was deeply satisfying. He is much closer to the light than our current system, but in retrospect I think he's got his head in the clouds a little.

This all boils down to a rule I have for myself whenever addressing a large audience: start by stating the obvious. This does two things. First, it gives people an easy mental on-ramp to follow the thread of what you are saying. And second,

Sure, but why not keep it? Why not have them for normal bikes? Probably because they don't last. So how don't they last? By getting mushy and hard to pedal? That's fine. By collapsing underneath you? That's not. And if they do exhibit cat

This seems cool and fun, and potentially a great engineering exercise. That is, you have to build around the properties of your material. But from an environmental and economic perspective I am deeply unconvinced. A simple but well made a
