Who'd walk the route more easily for 8h though? A random Western today or a random Roman then?

ETrade also started recently to include that disgusting thing in their News feed for watch lists -- as if it can really predict anything, with no way to turn it off (AFAICT). It's clear that it's being pushed in many directions. C

I can't understand why this company won't rebrand itself to something a bit catchier or better-sounding name than DuckDuckGo -- who the hell wants to say that ? Unless it's a self-selection filter...

Lovely article with a happy ending! One thing that I am glad to have been taught early on in my career when it comes to debugging, especially anything involving HW, is to `make no assumptions'. Bugs can be anywhere and everywhere.

I wonder if they had meetings or 'design committees' to find the most optimal shape with respect to the ease of killing prey eventually. One possibility on origin (totally made up by me) could be that there were large stones lying

As a supporting point, I think it's connected not only with mental functions, but also our senses. I have a weak memory in general, but I always remember the most mundane things in my life that I had no idea I still contained in my bra

This discussion reminds me a beautiful sentence I read in 'The Power and the Glory' by Graham Greene: "Hope is an instinct that only the reasoning human mind can kill."

Or any time one dares to criticize Israel for their recent contributions to peace on Earth (wink wink) -- it has to be prefaced with "Let me say that I'm the biggest defender of the Jews and fight against anti-Semitism". It&#

My parents and their generation suffers a lot from this, I feel. They grew up in a time (and in a country, I guess) where any information that they'd digest on TVs, newspapers, etc. came vetted officially or professionally. So, they ki

Is it really that much different than e.g. a cook preparing carrots while onions are being cooked? Nobody needed to invent this as far as my knowledge of history goes; so, maybe there really is nothing new under the sun :) Joking aside, of

My concern is slightly different; it's the ease of debugging. And I don't mean debugging the code that I (or sb else) wrote, but the ability to freely modify the code to kick some ideas around and see what sticks, etc. which I fre

That was a lengthy, but nice article/review about someone that I didn't know of before. Not strictly similar, but this brings to my mind Graham Greene's masterpiece, The Power and the Glory, and his 'whisky priest'.

So, you needed to rewind the tape to the beginning if you wanted to return it after having partially watched it i.e. at 40%? Now I wonder, did the store owners check each tape on return for this? I hope it was a quick process.. > Rewindi

I'd say it's first and foremost a political tool. Pseudo dictators especially love it. Let's say you're a mayor who needs to increase the price of a public utility by 10%, what do you do? You announce that this price wil

Thank you! This sounds like it's what I am after. I've been using Xiaomi phones for the same purpose, but they started neglecting software side heavily since last year or so. This should be a good replacement.

I'm considering getting a Pixel 7 or 8, how do you like your device in general? I'm looking for a cheapish, hassle-free device that doesn't require much maintenance or tinkering with and that just works.

Yeah, I had to check if it's one of those bots. It's fascinating to me that a person has the urge to spit out two paragraphs devoid of any correct information or value for that matter, as an answer to a question online -- as if

This looks like the worse of both worlds to me -- more typing, less readability and you'd still need to manually change the return type, if need be.

Would it be incorrect to call such associating with brands/ "loving" a company more (or less) an American thing? Why even spend any moment of your finite life pondering over behaviors of random companies, let alone defending
