Something I've always found mildly interesting is the general perception of the Windows 8 start menu changes. Folks often talked about the start menu being "removed" in Windows 8 and "re-added" in 8.1. Thing is thou

I've always seen it more as exaggeration/absurdity for the sake of humor than ignorant misuse of the word. Like in a cartoon when a character's eyes _literally_ pop out of their head. Of course, even if that's true, I&#x

Witcher 3 came out on PC at the same time as consoles. CDPR has a long history with PC gaming and they tend to emphasize the PC experience. They also own GOG which is a PC game store/platform. RDR2 on the other hand was indeed a timed

This is arbitrary. One can also prepare for the next day by working late the night before, start working later in the morning, and be just as fully up to speed and ready to go at 9:15. Standup could also just as easily be at 11:15. Why is y

MJML is terrific (haven't tried MRML) but why do you consider JSX to be a useless abstraction but not MJML?

Ah ok. I usually use the hand brake as well, but I also park in gear so that the engine will help stop the car from moving, especially if the brake fails. I use 1st gear except when facing down a slope in which case I use reverse, for obvio
