Oh of course. Wouldn't want to be associated with feminism. But hey, you can still be a feminist, just don't call it that, right? Becauase just like men's deodorant and shaving cream, we have to have our OWN version of femini

I can't be the only one that finds it hilarious that there is a duplicate article about repetitive pop lyrics.

And yet in four billion years when the sun expands and engulfs the inner planets, nothing will matter, nor will have mattered. We ARE a insignificant in the universe; I don't see how that's untrue.

Have we considered that these REST "anti-patterns" exist because REST is fundamentally inappropriate for what most people are trying to use it for? What if you can't shoehorn your functionality into the handful of REST verbs?

I see this a lot on Hacker News and I really don't understand why. Who cares if people "go to the club and dry-hump a stranger"? What if I like cocktail parties AND clubs? Where do I fall in your moral binary? Furthermore, wh

In 2013, there were 4,071,000 miles of roads [1]. How many cameras are we going to need? I think the idea of randomness is supposed to make people think "there could be a cop anywhere, so I'd better not speed", but I think a
