This sounds quite a bit different from the sort of development work I do. I can see how a REPL would be really useful when working with data, but for building out a webserver or desktop application, it doesn't have nearly as much value

Maybe they should? It seems like people name their cars often enough. Our house is unit 8 in our development, so we've taken to calling it "The eight house." Something about it having a name is just... nice.

Honestly sounds like it's not an issue of "zoning" so much as people exploiting government funds to house the poor in cheap, isolated locations. I lived in a office-to-studio conversion for six years and it was great. But it

How does this desert greening stuff differ from the earlier "Rain follows the plow" [1] idea? Seems fundamentally similar, though maybe with some better understanding of the dynamics. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Usually I will just add the same sort of thing at nested levels. Thinking on it more, the purpose of the `#{` `#}` is to denote "This comment is relevant for this section of code"

I've been in software for a decade now and I would absolutely call my job stress free. My broader family is almost entirely working class though, so maybe it's just a matter of perspective.

Work / study visas are (in my opinion anyway) a significant reason why the majority of post-graduate students are foreign. Working as a grad student is really a quite poor economic trade off unless you have the unspoken side benefit of

I'm wondering which side it's going to motivate more, honestly. I could see it both ways. And I could also see it not actually being a driver in turnout at all.

I'd be curious which (D) representative you think would fit that criteria either. Politicians are egomaniacs almost by definition.

I get a strong feeling that the new Facebook UI was designed by people with large monitors and retina displays. This is similar to the issue we run into with people developing software on top of the line hardware. Just because it works grea

My father-in-law works on control systems for airplanes and I get the impression that it's based much more on testing in flight simulators than on any amount of proofs. The level he works at might be higher level though. It sounds like

I'm making right around $100k. I believe that's a pretty average market rate for the area, but I really don't know. I see a lot of job listings in the $80-$120k range.

We had a big storm here in Iowa last month that was very similar. I looked outside at 11am and it looked exactly like midnight. That was a "This can't be good" sort of feeling.
