How do you breathe? How do turn rounds? I guess it's doable for the last 25 meters or so, but the rest of the routine may be faster overall as it's easier to combine with efficient turning and you know catching a breath

As other are saying, so many words, so little content. tl;dr: you can't rely on data alone to build optimal teams (sometimes it's about experiences and such) and Google pretty much did nothing to optimize teams (in spite of spendi

Obviously all that works fine for English, but is sub optimal for other languages. I wonder, since QWERTY is not going away, perhaps the future is custom key-binding as opposed to single, better layout such as Dvorak.

You can get 'geothermal' waters pretty much anywhere in the world, it only depends on how deep you dig (in some cases this is completely unviable from an economic point of view) You can then use the water for heating, extracting m

tl;dr: "there is too many setting, most people won't even use them". The solution IMO is not to remove those knobs completely, but to set defaults well and be able to 'pop under the hood' when you need as you probab

I'm not sure what more do you expect ove upwork and the like? Tinder for developers? Unless you put in the time, it's not going work, in love or coding. Simple.

Unless you want to code every rdbms and enterprise feature in the application layer, don't use Minho, use Postgres or Use Marklogic. It is 'nosql', but it is acid compliant and uses MVCC so what the queries return is predicta

Am I right that the original programmers didn't make a lot of money on that, instead, various western corporations did? A bit like Kalashnikov guy.

So you just give money to people with no strings attached, and when they spend it however they like, you take their kids away. That is pure evil mastermind, a bit like imperial British did with Aboriginals in Australia.

This is so complicated, why not just Markdown or straight up authoring in HTML?

All the larger projects I've worked with were designed initially so you add/remove "programming resources" as needed. "Simple" languages such as Java SE and JUnit were heavily used to enable that. Over time som

Serving HTTP requests has been commoditised, there is a hundred cheaper, better, ways to serve a webpage. The only sensible case is non-mission critical SOHO scenario where you happen to have a mac mini or iMac idling around and gathering d

Wondering about the 10k steps. I'm not hitting it everyday, but I feel that if I consistently did, I'd be a fit person with enough activity to be healthy from that angle. How's that a fad? Is there any research showing otherw

Unsurprisingly, there is far less infrastructure than in developed countries and you generally end up paying more for inferior serivice. If, say, you're interested in setting up a startup, you are best off in metropolitan areas. With t

For me, it is communities that make or break a language. By starting from scratch, with a new language, you are starting with 0 users. You have to win hearts and minds, rewrite the libraries and get market share. Even then there will be p

I seem to remember that Wordpress used a similar approach - a single cert for multiple hosts, any downsides to that?

So what makes them think that they can get away with it? There's already decent competitors - GitLab, BitBucket, Azure or you can just host your own git repos - gitlab will even give you a nice Web UI for it. Why do they think that peo

To sum up: "it's pretty easy to become average at something just by following instructions. Getting any better requires a different approach - well defined baby steps beyond what you're capable of at the moment." From me

Unfortunately, it is impossible to isolate a community in modern society. One way or another the funds will leak, for example, IS funded income being used by Kenyans to buy Chinese TVs. That money will take a long way to come back to Keny
