Stack Overflow is naturally full of nerds. Nerds are pedants by nature. Are some answers bereft of friendliness? Of course. Are some answers rude and/or insulting? Sure, there are millions of them, its bound to happen. But how in the h

and this is why I am grateful we have the 2nd Amendment. Sure, you can't match a tank head to head, but the past 50 years of insurgencies show that you don't need to go head to head to still come out on top.

elsewhere in the discussion it said that chickens have a ZW chromosome system. females are ZW, males are ZZ. so I guess the answer to your question is "no". as far as breeding something more noticeable is probably possible, the pr

We run all PaaS except for two very special case VMs. It is an effin' delight not having to worry about security, maintenance, updates. I just deploy my code (app services) and query my data (azure table storage, azure sql). Shit just

Assault Rifles are effectively already banned. An "Assault Rifle" is an automatic weapon with a detachable magazine. One trigger pull = more than one bullet. Contrary to popular belief, an AR-15 is not an Assault Rifle (AR = Armal

this is absolutely not a function of Azure vs AWS, the perf diff is completely between .Net Framework (which was used on Azure) and .Net Core (which was used on AWS). This compares Apples and Watermelons. https://www.ageofascent.

I agree that bitcoin's public ledger isn't conducive to anonymity (even with address mixers thrown in, and those are totally worthless given the high transaction fess). But that doesn't preclude a new layer on top of bitcoin,

I have the 43" TCL 4k. I highly recommend turning off HDR when using it as a monitor. Up close it kinda creates this ghosting effect where black text on a gray background will get this light halo kind of thing, ugh, it looked horrible.

I know it is a new/budget brand, but I've now purchased 3 different TCL 43S405's (work, home, wife's work). It is a 43" 4k monitor, with low lag, low motion blur and 60hz refresh rate. I've been extremely happy

furthermore, farmers are forced to plant "refuge" plots - plots that do not get GMO seeds, nor get herbicide/pesticide treatments. This ensures that there is plenty of resistance-less plants/insects left in the gene pool
