Oh thanks for breaking it down for me. When it comes to web development, for all intents and purposes, they can be thought of as one in the same since the browser version issued with a device is tied to OS version[1]. Of course some users w

Fonts are quite the subjective thing. M+ looks a little on the thin side to me. I greatly prefer Menlo (regular, which happens to be the default for Sublime Text on OS X) or Consolas.

Don't think there's any fragmentation problems on Android OS? Just try creating a mobile website that supports common "modern" devices. Have fun trying to wrap your brain around all the idiosyncrasies across various vers

Yeah the main paragraph text is definitely too thin/faint on OS X Chrome even. It was bugging me too so I simply stopped reading after a few paragraphs.

Day jobs as in 9-5, no, but a large % of them do something related to teaching. So most of them obviously needed some way of paying the bills. It's interesting how few hours of sleep they get and they're all early-risers.

Is the rule still that if you allow in-app purchase or subscription then it must be sold through the App Store? You could circumvent this by distributing the software via the app store and then must authenticate before any of the functional

I listened to an episode of Radiolab about 3 "Black Boxes" lately and the first one is about this mysterious threshold in the brain between consciousness and unconsciousness. Here is the episode if anyone is interested: http:&#x2

My approach to CLI is basically: if I wanted to use the mouse, I wouldn't be in the terminal. Having to reach for the mouse is a huge waste of time and I only do it if I need to scroll (rare) or copy+paste (relatively common). Although

Wait... Spagwood is an actual kids' name?

This is undeniably neat but I am curious if you "know what to do" because you have a lot of experience using applications that looked this way largely by necessity. I don't think the average computer user would favor this typ

It was the kids' names that tipped me off. Dagwood and Spaniel? At least I hoped it was a parody after that part.

I fail to see how that solves the problem for anyone other than people who already know that they're looking for a Haskell REST framework that might be called Rest.

This comment section turned out about the way one would predict when so few of the participants have ever studied economics.

I disagree that the name for something like this is a trivial decision. Especially when considering the name for a framework which will need to be discoverable on Google to gain popularity. And even more especially when you choose to name t

Comparing this to 538's (quite different) Analysis [1]: #1 * 538 - Brazil - 36.0% * WOLF - Brazil - 32.2% #2 * 538 - Argentina - 17.0% * WOLF - Netherlands - 23.5% #3 * 538 - Germany - 12.0% * WOLF - Germany - 21.6% This paints a prett

Now you're onto something! Your first point is true. If the suspect manages to dispose of even some of the substance, that could hurt the case. Or it may not. There's lots of factors, I was just giving the simplest example I could

Sorry, I think you're missing my point that is even if somehow they could flush the entire amount of the illicit substance in time, they probably have other items on hand that would be just as good from an evidence perspective. For exa

I edited my example to make it a little better. Point being: If you are a big enough dealer to be useful to the police in a larger investigation (or to warrant SWAT team "no-knocking" at your door), you probably have quite a bit o

That is way too logical and cost-effective. Plus then they wouldn't get to use the cool-as-shit flashbangs that their dept got on the cheap.

by thathonkey 12y ago
Not to mention you'd have to be a pretty low-level drug offender to be able to destroy enough/all of the evidence in the time "not knocking" saves the police. (ie. You can't exactly flush a kilogram of cocaine and a

Hence why I said the lack of training is a side-effect of militarization. In other words, yes, militarization of police is the main problem here. I agree with you; I was just pointing out yet-another-reason why it is even worse in practice

by thathonkey 12y ago
This is a side-effect of police militarization that doesn't get much attention from its critics: using advanced military equipment should also require advanced military training. Local police agencies that receive all this new military

Yeah but it could be a premature optimization if you blindly decided to use a library because the cost of having to download it (in the case of browser JS) and/or parse (in the case of server JS) an extra script file may outweigh its p

JavaScript has quite a few advantages compared to RoR (eg. it will forever be the language in browser, hence if you choose Node then you are using the same language on both sides. This is the main reason I think it won't be a fad like

Javascript isn't really a fad. Server-side JS isn't going to be a fad either, hate to break it to you.

It is an enhancement for the benefit of front-end performance. I'd like to hear how you think that is not true? Anyway, that is why I asked the loaded question about how many users you think there are that browse Twitter.com on their R

What percentage of Twitter's users do you think use Linux for browsing? Much less RHEL. Anyway, this is purely a front-end enhancement mostly for the benefit of mobile users. Also lol @ mp4 being "bleeding edge" tech. It cert

Really, GPS is what you're going to call it? That is a bad idea for a bunch of reasons, mostly practical (GPS already means Global Positioning System to just about every American and search engine, etc.)
