My dad also quit a long time ago; he's really proud of it, because he just decided to quit one day and it worked, without ever relapsing and without very negative effects. Or so he says. I don't really believe all of it, but the p

I agree with you. The author's inability to write a breadth-first-search under stress, for example, very much highlights this, in my opinion. I sort-of agree that these specific tasks shouldn't be used as an indicator of programmi

That's also a perspective I hadn't considered, but it doesn't explicitly say anywhere that they'll publish newer releases right away, and then there's the localization thing where UK gets a grand total of 11 movies.

For all I care it can be a million pounds, I probably won't use it either way. My point is that it's not a competitive price. For around £8 you can get a Netflix or Amazon Prime subscription (don't quote me on that, I'm

Oh yeah, that's a good point I hadn't considered. I supposed it remains to be seen if enough people use it that (or another) way to make it a profitable endeavor.

That too! I'm not located in either of those two countries, and I can only imagine how atrocious options over here will be, with a start like that. I also prefer watching movies in original language, because even professional dubs are

Yeah, probably. But I think most people looking for some light entertainment will look for 'a movie', not 'this particular Lionsgate movie', and in any case, with Netflix being so wildly popular, and average Steam users

Maybe I'm too naive, but I really don't get why people do this (the spamming, not the dissecting). Whoever did this could probably land a nicely paying programming job, no? Is spamming that lucrative or what's going on?

"According to the plan, the aircraft would have 12 hours of endurance to conduct operations." I'm no expert nor have I done the calculations, but 12 hours sounds like enough time to cross the Atlantic. What I don't kno

C, to me, requires a lot of discipline about good coding style and conventions. I personally like that a lot, even though, of course, it sometimes causes one to shoot oneself in the foot. But, and I can't point to exactly why, I don&

Thank you! I didn't mean to come across as overly critical, but I really think it is a much nicer reading experience now. Very cool that you considered my criticism :)

I'm surprised a lot of people are recommending the X1 Carbon, with little mention of the T-series. The T-series is a favorite among a lot of people I know, and the T460s is very similar to the X1 Carbon, offering a WQHD screen, similar

Please, for all our eyes' sake, change the color of the font to something darker! Light-grey on white is just terrible.

Not a native speaker either, but I spent a fair amount of time in the US and Canada; and I don't think I've ever heard that phrase. Usually it's "buy one, get one free" or some variation of that. The phrase you ment

I know, but the parent comment was explicitly asking about root servers; I agree, though, that I should've mentioned these, as they fit more into the price range (and I imagine they're quite good, as I've mostly heard positiv

I don't think there's much to compare there. Hetzner's servers are a completely different price range. Unless you get a used one here: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market (URL looks suspicious, but

That must be a somewhat daunting procedure for scientists in the genetic field; creating humans that are much, much smarter than themselves, likely rendering themselves obsolete very quickly.

I haven't personally experienced something like this, but I can come up with a few reasons. 1) maybe I just don't want to switch seats. Maybe I'm already settled in, maybe I like the fact that it's a window/middle&#

Thanks. Should've come to the comments first. I just entered a mailinator address and 'signed up' with that. Kinda surprised that worked...

Since init is the first process that runs, you can't use an interpreted language like ruby (since the interpreter would have to run first, which is impossible if your program itself is init). Maybe there's a Ruby-compiler out ther

This was a lot more interesting and than I thought it would be. I never thought I'd see such a romantic story about a forum troll... Seems like most people involved are now in a better place than before. Good for them.
