Found a broader discussion of archive theft here for those interested: http://blog.oup.com/2012/08/difficulty-inside-book-archive-t... The basic challenge for the thief is finding something valuable enough to be w

There are good arguments to be made against gentrification, and there are good arguments to be made that people don't deserve to have special privileges just because they got here first. It makes me sad that a lot of the public debate

My job title is "Software Engineer," but I have a Computer Science degree. I use the title because that's what people call it, but it's not an engineering discipline. I had to take some ethics-related course work as pa

I hear and empathize with this complaint, and I think it's a real problem. But what about the people on the other side of the fence? You work in software, some company pays you a lot to move out here, and you're in a position to

The only break I ever got from one of these programs (I work at Microsoft) was that of the various payments required on move-in (fee, refundable deposit, first month's rent) I was exempted from the refundable deposit. I didn't re

I think it depends greatly on your personality, how you spend your free time, what part of the city you're in, and how your first few experiences shapes you perception. I find Seattle to be unwelcoming, personally, but it's not th

I do this too. Funny enough, my checking account earns a higher rate on the first $10k than my "savings" account, but I use a split direct deposit to grow my emergency savings and then try not to look at the savings account to re

I've had this complaint since everybody started copying Snow Fall, but people really seem to like it. Even when the browser runs quickly, I just don't want stuff to move so much.

I saw a list of statements describing what he wants and does not want. In a world of compromises, it helps to describe what you actually want before you start identifying which of those things you'll have to give up.

From the conclusion: >Nietzsche is a complex and provocative thinker, but he is a clear advocate of the role of solitude in every level of human activity, from philosophical and psychological to creative and societal. Can't do any o

I guess when an opportunity comes up that makes me think "there's no way this can be for real, but there seems to be no risk involved," I lean towards the assumption that the scammers have also thought of this and are confide

Surely not. They're trained to detect counterfeit screenshots and would sniff those out in a second.

I found this article from Wired earlier this year: http://www.wired.com/2015/02/air-traffic-control/ It doesn't specificaly mention vacuum tubes, but it does explain why it's entirely plausible that

What fight? The way those battles are waged in large, slow companies is that the political decisions are made over your head, without your input, and decided before you're made aware of them. It's a lot harder to try and fight a

I absolutely agree. This FAQ didn't answer the one Q that's most important to me, which is whether providing enough power to remake Tree Style Tabs and extensions like it is a goal.

You realize i686 is a catch-all term for 32-bit x86 processors, right? It's arguably the only 32-bit architecture anyone cares about.

There are a few of reasons that powerlifting (squat/bench/deadlift) is more popular than weightlifting (Snatch/Clean and Jerk). The technique is much harder to learn for the explosive lifts, as the bar and lifter must move v

I still use Firefox, but I looked at the status of some of the forks after today's news. It seems that Pale Moon, at the very least, is a true fork, but I don't have a whole lot of confidence that it would be right for me. In pa

They say they're going to try and cover all the use cases with a new API, but it's clear that that API is in its infancy. Even if it were ready to go today, this would require authors to rewrite their extensions, which will mean

Aside from the above hiccup, I come out ahead on cost if I go through my insurance rather than try to buy from India. There would also likely be some lag time involved that wouldn't have helped in that instance.

I've been taking it for about two years, often skipping it on days I don't have to work, and it's definitely not as effective. Once, though, I did lose about three weeks' worth when it got accidentally tossed during a m
