But only in certain areas. It's never legal to kill a goose on campus or even inside city limits. Geese are smart enough to understand this and avoid lakes in areas where hunting is allowed. Obviously you don't want people dischar

But you don't really live in a country without borders. Within the EU doesn't count. In a case of genuine open borders criminals can leave the state quickly to avoid punishment. Then move on to a new target country. This doesn&#x2

Without any border controls people would be forced to assume that anyone from outside their country was a thief or con-man looking to find some quick victims and head home. That wouldn't be pleasant for either side.

That was largely caused by the fact that Trump had been attacked consistently for over a year and Pence was comparatively unknown. Also most people pushing it just wanted Trump to drop out. There was no way for Pence to win after a mid camp

Some of this is from memory, but it takes place on a timeline where Ganondorf was sealed. Then Hyrule was flooded to prevent him from ever being unsealed. The main character is dressed as Link because children dress as the great hero once a

This is also the bane of powerpoint presentations. Many TVs only support 4:2:0, so red on black text quickly becomes an smudgey mess.

Singing at social gatherings is pretty much universal across human societies. The real question isn't "Why is karaoke popular?" it's "Why is breaking into song at other bars frowned upon?".

I would say that payday loans are significantly worse than porn or legal cannabis. But do people really buy cannabis from spam messages in places where it's legal?

Java applets needed to interact with the OS in various ways and required browsers to have sub views controlled by plugins. They were a lot more complex and risk prone. Especially since Sun kept adding features. WASM is much simpler. It&#x2

Newton is an interesting case. Apple made two big mistakes... They didn't realize how hard handwriting recognition was and they didn't realize how important syncing with a computer was. I think there's an alternate universe

Well "earning a top ranking for Java developers globally" means from the global pool of HackerRank scores. People who already have tech careers aren't going to see the point in doing a ton of tests on HackerRank. It's n

It's interesting that these stories never consider the reverse. Perhaps Twitter is destroying itself with it's various drives to censor one side of the political debate.

The RNC was fairly openly anti-Trump during the primaries, there won't be any evidence of them cheating on his behalf. Also there's no real need to take anti-Trump info to Wikileaks. The NYT was willing to publish one of Trump&#x2

That's a nonsense definition. In general language it's perfectly reasonable to say things like "vegans can't each chicken". Responding "FALSE! They can, but they choose not too!" doesn't add anything

For anyone else reading this in the future, I should mention that the ESLint 'no-unreachable' rule will catch this even if you don't require semicolons.

This is a nit pick, but isn't his "Ambiguous curly braces" example actually breaking due to automatic semicolon insertion? return {{a: 4}} Isn't valid anyways. ESLint easily flags it as an error.

One problem seems to be that a lot of schools have a strong emphasis on group work. Usually there's a ton of non dev work to go along with projects - documentation, whatever paperwork the project requires, so someone can make a useful
