A country is not a startup. These kind of comments come off as elitists, naive and arrogant.

Most of the series has unforced graphic scenes and vulgarity. It's just gangs of wassrypur set in Mumbai with more vulgarity because it was produced for Netflix.

You can change desktops very easily on the popular linux distros. Try r/linux and ask about what you want specifically. It's very likely there is a desktop out there for you. If you just want a macOS copy, most of that can be done

So adding that button requires downloading and installing a file, and it has some references to openwith@darktrojan.net. I am not a web programmer but that doesn't seem right. The open with mpv browser extension, seems cleaner. https:

For some reason this seems incredibly funny to me. I can imagine mathematicians laughing at this too.

Thanks. I was reading and listening to Chuck Peddle's talks last hour about his work at Motorola and MOS. At the age of 81, he still gives talks. Very inspiring stuff.

I had never heard of this chip. Any good resource to understand this? I am familiar (or was at one point) with 8085/86 architecture.

That may not work for all (I want to say most) of literature. Many books I like are pretty dry. These books are theme based and not story based where you don't really care how the story ends, but are more interested in the deep convers

I gave up reading Infinite Jest after getting 10-15% into it. I decided to come back to it later but never got back to it. It was somewhat difficult for me (not American). But this was a few years ago. Will try it again sometime soon.

I am Indian. You're right, one can never experience Russian literature in a way that a Russian does. But there are quite similarities in cultures shaped by religion because there are similarities in religion.

This novel, along with 'Crime and punishement' deal with completely opposite personalities. One has a very optimistic view of the world, the other, Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment, despises it and justifies violent crime wit

I think it depends on the sensitivity/urgency of the matter. Its better to avoid chain of command in urgent matters that an employee might feel slows down production for example. In other cases common sense dictates going through the c

This is unprofessional and inappropriate on so many levels. The only reason I would expect someone to behave like this is if they have a trump card or they have made some observation in their favor that they aren't revealing.
