The biggest difference - not needing to compile - is offset by the slowness of Powershell. If only one language was best across all metrics.

The office of my current employer has speakers in the ceiling, every 20 feet or so. They play white noise through these at about 40-60 decibels - about the volume of a moderately busy coffee shop or bar. This lets them buy shorter cubicles,

I really like the type system in Powershell and wish JavaScript had something similar. Typescript is a mess by comparison. [string]$String = "Dog"; $String = 5; Cannot convert value 5 to type "System.Objects.String&

Just make sure the Promise has a Catch to handle errors. Err...you're talking about promises from the community, not Promises in code.

Ah, the ol' fire sale. At other times in history, it was the seller whose house (or business) was literally on fire, trying to sell to an unwitting buyer.

Oh, automakers are finally putting security on their wide-open Car Area Networks - like the one that let a hacker stop a reporter's car - and this you see as only a bad thing?

Maybe some stations will have charging lobbies, where you can charge your phone and take a nap (charge yourself) while the car charges.

Who says they're looking at these things? I'm surprised these politicians can hear about the trans-polar shipping route opening up, and still disbelieve.

Yes, let's base our society on an archaic device that can't even accurately tell the time.

Do you mean 9-6 or 10-7? I've done a 10-7 shift, it's miserable. Waste half your morning, and half your evening. You have to get ready for work when stores and banks are just opening, and you get home just as those shops are closi

That's only 7 hours. I don't know anyone who only works 9-5. Many either work 8-5 or 9-6. (Lunches aren't paid, that's a WA State law.)

These do make beta ameloid sound like a virus-net, sticking to any and all virii inside the brain. And since herpes has that time-release capsule to keep reinfecting a host user, that person's brain could have more beta ameloid plaque

What would replace it? Thousands of individual config files? That's a mess to manage. What the Windows Registry needs is a REST API.

And with hybrid and electric cars, mechanics and auto body shops have to know 3-phase electricity too.

There is so much money involved, on all sides, that all Tesla-based articles are suspect.

The addictive screen argument is almost as tired as the argument that video games are bad. It's like the argument about students starting out the window, or at a ceiling, during a lesson. The answer is not to remove the windows, nor is

Wikipedia: The normal function of Aβ is not well understood.[7] Most of the page is dedicated to the Alzheimer's connection. Even that quote came from Alzheimer's research. [7]Hiltunen M, van Groen T, Jolkkonen J (2009). "F

Would you feel better if the parent were deeply involved in a newspaper or book? How about if the parent was constantly screaming obscenities at the referee? Parents aren't honor or duty bound to pay rapt attention to every second of t

Do you have any information about beta amyloid that doesn't involve Alzheimer's? I wanted to learn about the enzyme itself. Filtering "-Alzheimer's" on Google provides no articles, merely fact sheets and ordering fo

Law is an industry entirely based around charisma and precedent. Entirely "(s)he said, (s)he said". It's quite boring on a technical level, because maths are rarely involved. And quite frustrating on a human level, because ju

Herpes is a normal virus, for the most part. The key mutation that makes it so annoying is its time-release capsules to reinfect cells every so often. So which "byproducts" are cleaned out?

An EMP wirelessly overvolts circuits, burning them like a blown fuse. What kind of magnetic field would it take to induce too much current inside an Arduino?
