this is the biggest weak point of using git in my opinion. if you are not in the habit of using these undo/remove/fix operations in a regular basis, these commands slip away from you... however, you can also look into this as a sa

I wonder what would happen if a 'village' of chimps attack humans with spears :) hellfire ? or automated drone strikes on them ?

even in a simulation ad to give a use case, the drones are used to target a small village in the middle of a desert. it's somewhat obvious what the use case will be: don't send troops in so that US troop loses can be limited and i

having this sort of income inequality between partners is a big problem. it changes how you look at the business. it seems to me you've already at a point where you have to find a job. what I recommend is this: discuss the situation wi

I was copy pasting a lot myself and then stumbled into this guy's modular setup - I built something similar from then on. it's pretty sufficient for almost 90-95% of my needs... https://github.com/etola/makefi

idle power consumption: 4 Watts - way too much for my taste... I can understand it needing 22 Watts during high speed writes but why this much during staying idle ? for comparison I checked my external 2TB WD Passport 0820 harddisk - it use

you're supposed to 'believe' to benefit from the best case scenario dude :) just rationalizing about it is not supposed to be enough... and additionally, fasting was around before it was introduced in islam; check it's v

Assuming writing a technical book will at least take 3 months of your time (probably 4-6 months more realistically for a good book), making ~$10K is outrageous. And this is in case the book sells well. Who'd accept any other job if som

read their statement carefully: “We acknowledge Reggie’s contribution to the creation of Snapchat and appreciate his work in getting the application off the ground.” I wouldn't think they'd add a sentence like this to their press
