Find a place away from the coasts that isn't trying to be cheap/trendy. I had half-height cubes at my last few jobs.

I lazily made my own little private server a couple days ago implementing this concept by stitching a usenet server to a web login/account portal.

Gopher was arguably more consistent in both regards. But pretty vs functional wasn't even a tradeoff you could really consider.

The person above is merely relaying their experiences that these communities indeed still exist. You can read this implicitly as: "having authentic experiences online is absolutely possible, if one is willing to find and seek them out,

Unfortunately, you can't just simply tell anyone, because that's how most enjoyable places get ruined.

I don't believe so, because Armored Bear Common Lisp runs on the JVM.

You've been had. Work is a calculated tradeoff of time to support/gather wealth yourself, your loved ones, and your heirs to ensure your line's continued security; you can't use it as a complete meaning unto itself, or a

I don't because I'm only speaking about how one should parse the sentence, not the facts of the sentence.

I think you spliced that sentence wrong. It's bad templating, /along with/ bad session management, auth, sql, and encryption tools.

You need it to be smarter. It needs to look just like someone using a real device - visiting at sensible times with sensible durations - but slowly mixing in to the visitor's actual profile and visiting enough of the "wrong"

I saw artifacts from this city in an exhibit, "Egypt's Sunken Cities". It's pretty awesome. They go through the rituals and celebrations each day for a festival for Osiris that was celebrated in the city, and later show

"How could they have 7 billion people? Did they all live in the desert?" "Yes, there was food growing there in the desert, too. Right out of the ground, as far as your eye could see." "And they just threw it all awa

Indeed. And if they're willing to backdoor a regime like that then why could we ever trust them not to backdoor everywhere else?

I thought they already did this in Egypt and perhaps one or two other countries long, long ago.

And if that mere dollar would influence you on whether or not you were going to go to the restaurant, you probably shouldn't have ever been going to the restaurant.

The former is only going to be true if you pay them in cash; I don't believe credit tips are so easy to hide. The latter is inconsequential.

That doesn't make sense. You aren't getting lower food prices at all if you are obligated to tip. Rather, the actual prices of restaurant food items are just undermarked by 15-20% of their actual cost.

Why transfer 36% of a fire's energy hundreds of miles away to heat your home, when you can simply burn fire locally, and get 100% heat efficiency? In cold climates, it's far cheaper to use gas heating.

Why are people so worked up over choice of a product? I don't really particularly care for Macbooks, but it's just a manufactured laptop. There is no real identity or pride to be derived from these sorts of consumerist choices. Yo

I don't know how this is possible to deal with. Once I accumulate 15-20 tabs in my tab tree I start closing the ones I won't return to, and I restart my browser and in the morning I empty my tab list from yesterday.

Go was built by Rob Pike and based upon the work that was done for the distributed operating system Plan 9 and the Limbo programming language that was built along with it. When these things were being developed, functional programming techn

Pete's QB Site is what got me into programming and Vic's game design tutorials is what got everything to "click" for me. I left ages ago, but the QBasic community was a wonderful place, and I owe a lot to them.

Their scheme as described in #227 would make sense, if they were designing IPFS as a service for Plan 9.

No comment on the race aspect of this, but advertisers, marketers, and salespeople have always benefited from making people feel unhappy. It's one reason so many people loathe them. It's a very simple and common tactic you will se

If I were being truthful, I might say that I get maybe one actually helpful morsel every few days, some of which end up on a reading/reference queue that I might not actually get to but I think might indeed come in handy sometime in th
