No, the initialism PM is usually the same job everywhere but stands for Program Manager, Product Manager, or Project Manager.

Nicotine is pleasant, it's a nootropic. If there's less in your chosen method of absorption, you will try to compensate.

E-cigarettes are not really vaporizers. What they do is heat and aerosolize the e-liquid. Small particles of certain substances can be harmful.

I'm aware of that. It's still not always trivial to implement.

> Is it easier to write with a loop? Then use a loop! Yes, but, say, in Haskell, that's not an option. It's useful to note that Haskell is usually touted as efficient, and lack of efficiency is a #1 concern around functional pr

Biggest disadvantage for me comes when trying to implement a complex algorithm where the paper uses pseudocode that's imperative (which is almost always). In the best case you can implement parts of it functionally but when it comes ti

If you know which are unsafe, you could have a threshold confidence, say the algorithm classifies one as shiitake with 90% probability but some unsafe mushroom at >40% probability (or some percentage that makes sense), it could say, &quo

Vimium! I use it too, very useful. The command is shift+t to search through open tabs.

A bigger problem with Chrome is that it doesn't support multiple rows of tabs. The usual reasoning is "close some tabs!" For someone who uses a monitor in portrait mode, this is painfully ridiculous.

Winamp shuffle randomizes without replacement. But you're right, it keeps the same shuffled order until you turn shuffle off and back on.

The suggestions are probably based on browsing history rather than on buying history. It's not that surprising; you likely browse for multiple items, which helps make inferences about what you might want to buy. You only buy a small fr

It would be nice if the search was case-insensitive! E.g. 'she' returns different data than 'She'.

You could look at a more complicated piece of code, let them think about it for a bit, and if they don't have that aha moment you can still discuss it with them. For example, pick a problem you someone on your team struggled a bit with
