It's not really like the apartment example. When I was in grad school the tuition number was kind of an imaginary number. It was 60k or something like that, no idea. I never signed anything with that, was never billed for that, nothing

Is there a reason for relying on pandocfilters instead of on Panflute [1]? I would think that panflute would allow for more readable code, which helps whendealing with all the corner cases and rough edges of latex. [1] https://gi

By the way, I've found myself clicking too much on stuff with QGIS, and often having to repeat myself later if the input data changes. Is there a way to save the clicks as macros, or perhaps at least get an idea of the underlying comma

For some reason, people seem to think that eating 40 grams of apple sugar is healthier than eating "sugar cane sugar" or "corn sugar". IMHO, of you take an apple and extract the fiber and water, you shouldn't be cal

Also, my idiotic 16gb Android phone is almost always full (thanks to the OS keeping loads of garbage and leftovers from previous versions, according to google searches). On top of that, every time I plug in the phone on WiFi, all these apps

TBH for something that you probably use daily for your day job, $70 is not a lot at all. And last time I tried, working with large files was a pita on vscode.

That prevents lots of mistakes. You only specify encodings while reading external data, and then everywhere else in your code you know you are dealing with strings and that's it (instead of your code working until a random Fóréígner tr

Well, on the one hand you have emission restrictions and on the other hand you have MPG restrictions. Then you have consumers that want to buy SUVs, so there is no way you are going to meet your quota of zero-emission-vehicles. I'm not
