I'm not a programmer either. I just started running Linux out of curiosity, followed a few "copy-paste this into your terminal" guides, eventually got the hang of it and now I do almost everything in it. It both is and isn&#x

If all that matters is to recognize the best team, then why bother with a knockoit stage, or even a world cup tournament? Just collate stats. The point is to play the game, and if both teams are evenly matched in regular play, to move to an

The Ukrainian г is a voiced glottal fricative, IPA /ɦ/. This is as the English /h/ sound but voiced. Southern Russian dialects use /ɣ/, a voiced velar fricative, which is pronounced like /ɦ/ but furth

Another reason police unions are entirely different, even from other public sector unions, is that the police are used to break strikes. They're structurally antagonistic to every other part of the labour movement.

Isn't Valve known for letting employees work on whatever they want? I'd imagine they already had a bone to pick with MS and wanted to be able to play games on Linux. Before that, things like the controller also seemed like "s

Latin is "older" than English because Latin has been fossilized for over a thousand years due to having no native speakers. A better example would be French and English. Neither is "older" than the other since both are s

Regurgitating old critiques of terrible, homogeneous design, then holding up as counterexamples two of the most embarrassingly bad designs of the last few years. I suppose this is appropriate for a marketer to write, since Tesla and "L

I agree with VR being obstructive and awkward, but what percentage of the population would be okay with hooking a computer directly into their brains, let alone a facebook-controlled computer?

I recently added a similar feature to the absolutely terrible code I've hacked together for controlling my smart lights[0]. I used python's astral package to get the highest and lowest sun elevations for the day, then define the l

"all it is, is a little prick in the arm. Quite literally. Nothing more than that." Alright then, I'll just poke myself with a sewing needle and you can count that as a vaccination, if that's quite literally all it is.

ArriveCAN was quite stupid, but at least it was fairly simple and the mobile app was just a convenient wrapper around the web app. It could have been so much worse.

In my experience the only Americans who use WhatsApp have family outside the US/Canada. There's a very large proportion of the population living entirely inside the Apple ecosystem.

It wouldn't be the first linear city. The idea was popular in the early 20th century for industrial settlements. Magnitogorsk was orginally planned as such. None of the planned linear cities have stayed linear, to my knowledge. It only

That's the point. You can travel to the other side of the earth and all you'll get is the same experience as you would at home, but there's other brands of beer and different stuff in the museums. This isn't a diverse wo
