It is unclear what leaving the city quickly has to do scaling or resources per capita. You seem to value this; most big city dwellers do not.

It's more to the point that disruptions tend to be very disruptive, too frequent, not well understood, and the reset takes a really long time. But you're right that this does not quite belong. If we solve the technological probl

Their Lumia with the Windows OS was great too. Unfortunately no market => no apps => death. But I loved it when I had it. They made great phones no doubt.

Too many. I still write /bin/sh syntax (I know it's a symlink to bash now but I mean the old school sh). Anything that requires bash-that-isnt-sh is usually better written in perl or something else.

The oil industry is not larger. I believe oil and gas is not even a separately measured category so the numbers you're getting are probably including many sectors across the board and are quoted by some vested interest like the America

You're right about the respect part, but it does in fact compute. We (I'm Indian) treat books with respect, but we have no preservation ethic beyond treating them with respect. An old book is in our home until it disintegrates or

It absolutely is. For a language whose biggest selling factor is embeddability with C/C++, that decision (and I'm being polite) is a headscratcher (along with the other similar source of errors: 0 evaluating to true).

Do you know why people in Okinawa and Sardinia have great longevity? Is it Ikigai, or living simple village life, or eating maggot infested cheese? No, it's because of lack of record keeping, specifically families keeping people "

A lot of responses from people who have never taken a cruise, how typical. There is a lot of nickel and diming but floor plans and room views tend to be shown when you're buying. Even the interior windowless rooms are extremely well de

I think you must live in a city. Literally everyone in your 1000 people rural area would be affected by 10 shootings.

What? The redesign is way simpler than the original website.

Irrelevant. The article is about ROI, not about happiness. Income isn't the only measure of, I don't know, longevity, calorie intake, hair color, number of children, etc., either, but we're not talking of any of those things.

You must be in some good writers' microcosm. A lot of human technical writers really write like that.

You are reversing cause and effect. You "perish" by being unable to procure grants. Grants require a publishing record. Why? Because estimating success is harder than simply looking up a list. The entire system works that way. The

Yes? Title has no mention about specific regions. Abstract mentions specific regions. Even your comment is clickbait: you only include the title and a sentence that does not mention specific regions, despite you being aware of it, since you

The problem with Make is people abuse it with phony targets. If there's discipline in writing Makefiles and most targets are files, Make works quite well due to the basically simple timestamp/dependency stuff (vs say cmake which I

This is just your run of the mill STEM looking down upon other fields argument. There is rampant fraud in STEM. If anything it's harded to detect because the people who do it are better informed on how to hide it.

You're using geoemetrical construction not dissimilar from proving the theorem for a != b. So it's not in the spirit of this new method. No one disputes there are easier methods to prove the theorem.

I agree he frames it incorrectly, but he has not failed in terms of results. If he framed it as "I want to talk to people", it would not be posted on HN, and no one would be visiting his site or discussing his shower thought.

Re your second paragraph, you are exactly right. The title is clickbaity, to the point of using a disparaging term (fake) instead of a generally accepted one (lab grown). The article is meant to be shared by meat lovers, who were never the
