This is just the explanation of why it's "drugs and alcohol", and OP probably is well aware of that. The point is there's an argument to be made that even though history shaped this distinction it's harmful in som

The whole article gives me a 'I know LUA and have been using it for years, I also tried MicroPython for a couple of hours, so now I'm ready to draw conclusions' vibe. With some 'Python vs C' on top of it. Not everyt

In the end drying grass to create hay is also the same principle: dry enough (say < 15% water) and it doesn't do much at all, being pretty dead. Higher and you get all kinds of life having its go at it.

I did, seemed to fall in the same category of sometimes working, sometimes not. I'v been trying various alternatives on/off for the past 5 years or so but unfortunately nothing really ever sticks.

The authors argue that piperacillin, which has already been FDA-approved as a safe treatment for pneumonia, could also be a candidate for preemptive interventions for those potentially exposed to Lyme (with a known deer tick bite). This s

This. I don't know which guru came up with it but this is the 'one-click build' principle. If youcan't do that, you have a problem. So if even remotely possible we write all CI as a single 'one-click' script

what am I missing? Nothing really, I think it's just a personality trait. I have tried picking up pretty much every single form excercise the article mentions plus some more, and I just couldn't bring myself to keep on doing it.

I think OP is asking: if there's a static magnetic field but conductive stuff (say, the oceans) moves through it, doesn that not induce an electric field?

I had the same feeling. Some of the results also made me wonder whether the reported feelings are actual feelings or lies. Which in turn made me wonder whether the view I have about certain countries is close to reality or not. Because in t

We'd also be 'fine' as in 'surviving' without music and other arts and any other creative/emotionally uplifting/mentally challenging thing. Which happens to be something actively sought-after by humanity.

Depends on what you do/need I guess. Overall I'd rate the ones I use rather usefule. I use Run and FancyZones every single day. To the point that it's annoying to not have them when I'm on another computer. The others wh

I do not recommend C++ CLI. Can you elaborate on why? I looked at various ways for interop between C# and C++ over the years, and overall found C++/CLI to be the best overall for our particular application types: it's a separate

This, and the linked article, show the photo sensor halfway the monitor. Nothing wrong with that for comparing measurements, but for quite a lot (possibly the majority) of typical monitors out there that actually means for a refresh of 60Hz

No one puts on a vinyl record to play one song. Pretty much every DJ out there begs to differ :) I get your point though, and do also like to listen to whole albums (be it on vinyl or cd or PC), sometimes. Other times I prefer to create t
