Perhaps a similar study could be done in, say, India. I'm not sure if it's due to their being used to loud/disturbing noise , or if Indians in general have some kind of ongoing inner Zen, but the amount of noise that the gene

"I leave you, my dream" These were apparently Ossho's parting words. Hopefully if one has time to die (i.e. not suddenly) then such truths as in the article emerge before the end comes.

The top Cambridge listed is Cambridge, KY, which is bizarre. I'd have expected Cambridge, MA, or Cambridge, UK, far and away the most well known towns of this name in the world, but they're far down the list. Algorithm could use s

I guess it's been 12 years on i3, time flies :) Thanks to the maintainers -- a stripped down Linux distro + i3 is an incredibly powerful combination.

Always Dell Precision, although I'd love it if there were non-Intel CPU options (or if Intel got their act together and produced a rival for Apple's latest and greatest chips).

Off the top of my head, no access modifiers (so private variables, for example, are prefixed with `_`, by convention, not enforced by the compiler), no pattern matching (and obviously no exhaustive matching), no record types, no sum types,
