I think it's a bit pedantic to argue about his usage of "desire". Evolution is a blind watchmaker. The bacteria are reacting to selective pressures. Large populations of bacteria around the world are getting exposed to differ

Nice chart but there are mistakes with the origin of Islam. There is influence from the pre-Islamic religions in Arabia which has not been displayed in the chart. For example, one of the gods housed in the Kaaba was the pre-Islamic god Huba

I did some work on GNUStep, but it was painful. The development environment isn't very friendly and there isn't very good IDE support. Also, most of the documentation I saw was for Apple's stuff with very little for GNUStep.

I've known this trick for years. Whenever I visit India, especially during the monsoon season, you always turn on the overhead fan (especially when you sleep). That's it - no more trouble from mosquitoes! It also keeps you cool be

It's not racist in the least. If Sanskrit is the ancestor of Latin and Greek, then there should be Sanskrit a superstratum in Latin and Greek. However, there isn't. But there are common elements in all three languages that could

Yeah Hulu-specific content is not that great. The main reason I watch it is for specific TV shows that I want to watch after they air on cable. I canceled my cable two years ago and I haven't looked back since.

I do! It was a great game and I thought this was going to be some sort of remake. I was a little disappointed. Do you remember the Pirate in Monkey Island I in the Scumm Bar, whom you could ask about LOOM?

Yes. But it's just my first name. However, if you search for it on Google, it's not that hard to find me. My name is somewhat rare and it's within the top 2-3 results. :)

I've done something similar in my form-validation library. I have a function that has three inputs that basically end up behaving like flags. So there are 8 possibilities in total. I ended up creating a function that would return a three-bi

I wrote this about two years ago from scratch for an algorithms class. I didn't know much about neural networks other than the fact that they tried to mimic how neurons worked in the brain. It was a pretty neat learning-experience. Thought

The last two are usually combined to HATEOAS or semantic media-types. Most REST things I see only talk about the first 4 points, but rarely talk about semantic media-types. Until then, it truly isn't REST; only RESTlike.

She was vociferously unapologetic. She firmly believed that she was in the right, and even worse, that she was on some sort of gender-equality "crusade". The hubris is palpable when you see the comments she made in her post, where she said

I think this is textbook irony. Good decision by SendGrid, IMO. I'm sure it was driven by the ton of negative feedback they got yesterday. They probably didn't want any part of it, and Adria overstepped her bounds. She claimed in a bunch of
