Just curious, how do you implement such a thing? I mean how do you avoid polling the stores zillions of times, which would probably eventually be shut off by the stores?

Because they are totally not exposed to lobbying.

But you also have to implement Len() and Less(), don't you? Maybe you can create a better way, but it is not implemented in the sort package by default. Also I suppose you need to "convert" your list to some other type with t

I admit I don't really know how the system works. My impression was that people can only study subjects they also had for A-Levels (or maybe related subjects, as defined by a university)? The people I met were all from UCL, so perhaps

"If you have drama as one of the main reason for going to school, then you're not really worried about having to earn a living some day. Must be nice." Bingo

Not if they are girls, I suppose.

Simple: pay more for nursing and child care.

I am willing to bet that there are no special hardships for women who want to enter IT. Quite the opposite really.

Women get to choose, most importantly perhaps they get to choose to stay home when a baby arrives. They also get to choose jobs that earn less money, in exchange for more pleasantness and flexible work hours, because they have to worry less

I think IT just gets a lot of press and coverage of people who got rich. Computers are nice because you don't need a huge factory to start something. However, let's take an archaic example: sewing. I think you can also get rich se

Google Keep atm, but it's not perfect.

Well, it would be for the sake of art. You'd be surprised by the kind of things people do for art.

Incredible, that article seems to get by without blaming men at all. Did I miss something? In another note, the whole A-levels system seems rather stupid to me. I've met several people in the UK who weren't able to study what they

presumably if you want to make a law about it, you have to define it somehow. What solution do you propose?

by Tichy 13y ago
I kind of gave up on it when I realized how complicated it is to sort a list. Hopefully they'll improve that in future versions. Still could see myself using it for specific use cases. But for the future I'd wish for something coo

Can you ask them to pay you sufficiently?

by Tichy 13y ago
By any means necessary? So they'd murder to control the source?

Do you own a building? Or may I perhaps defecate your web site, for the sake of art?

Hm, maybe if I ever have to hire somebody I'll challenge them to a Corewar duel :-) Before the internet my friends and I sometimes used to get to together, everybody got some time to write a Corewar warrior on paper, and then we'd

People have personal preferences, I suppose. But the approach to kill the magic seems weird - I'd expect things to become more magical the more I learn about them.

If he knows all there is to know about computers, perhaps he can tell us whether P = NP.

You mean, assuming there was only one Bitcoin: if a VW Beetle costs 1 BTC this year, and next year a Porsche is published (growing the economy by replacing cars with better cars), the Porsche would also have to cost 1 BTC because there isn&

You might want to read up on Ponzi schemes again. I don't see a connection with declining production rates of a product.

I've used floppy disks and tape recorders, but I'm a bit embarrassed that I never used punch cards.

But why does a fixed supply make it deflationary? What happens when all BTC have been mined, will the price still go up all the time? I guess it could go up if the Dollar goes down at the same time. The actual price is staying the same, but

That's the rational way to see it. Then again, what would you invest in at all thinking like that?

I am too lazy to create a lmgtfy link for you, sorry. Google yourself. Lots of places accept Bitcoin. Although I am not sure how many people actually use it for shopping.

Do you really need all the details, since you can immediately see he has the skills? Why bother checking his university grades?

Maybe because "some_el_2" is lower down in the DOM tree? I think at least the experiment should be run with reversed IDs.

Sounds like a lot of effort just to watch some crappy movies.
