I guess that would depend on if the book is still relevant to and likely to be owned by the person you're pitching. Or, of course, you're making a glib commentary about retail bookstores, in which case, s/bookstore/amaz

Even with the emoticon, that comment seemed designed to put down the project by suggesting its author is shortsighted and has failed to see how things really work in the really real world. Was it your intent to condescend and hope it goes u

This is likely to be the more useful answer here. The biggest benefit comes from listing "author of [book you can buy at bookstore]" on your CV or web site. The marketing power of your name being seen by potential employers (or th

I wish jurors would understand their role is to protect the innocent from prosecutorial overreach, not rubber-stamp the prosecution's assertion that a law has been broken. They have more power than the judge (who is really just suppose

One small nit: Apple really doesn't want people using two-letter prefixes for their components. I know that's a pretty sore subject for a lot of iOS devs, but the example WFOAuth2 (where WF is the "Workflow" prefix) woul

No, they do not own your vision. But where able, they certainly have the right to protect how their brand is presented inside their own property.

I figure that's what you're doing, but man, why do you want to re-run a container when the result is already known?

Disallowing editing is only one solution I suggested. The other is: determining that they haven't actually changed the sample text from one of the pre-canned selections, and thus returning the result from a static copy of a previously-

If the browsing user selects one of the samples on the site (which is verified easily with a quick hash on the client side), why on earth are you processing it again? Load shouldn't be an issue here. Honestly, users shouldn't even

Not to nitpick, Max Tegmark is a cosmologist . I only recently learned the difference when I called a cosmologist friend an astrophysicist. Cosmology deals with the big stuff, almost philosophically, like: "where did the universe come

Ask anyone leaving or entering the US (or, indeed, any of several countries who may choose to screen phones upon entry/exit) if it's niche. I'd also submit that the iPhone is hardly a luxury item. I know that's a relativ

iOS does this, too. When DND is enabled, you can separately allow calls from everyone or only your favorites (the default is no one). Further, you can specifically allow "repeated calls" to be allowed through (defined as the same
