This sounds just like something my brother-in-law said. I think they are both technically correct and both missing the point. Does a calculator truly understand math when it spits out a correct answer? Of course not. And it doesn't

I really like pencils as well. A few years ago I started a development journal mainly to stay motivated and so that I could look back to see how far I had come. I quickly found out that the whole process was a lot more enjoyable with nice

I have used asyncio through aiohttp, and I have been pretty happy with it, but I also started with it from the beginning, so that probably made things a little easier. My setup is a bunch of microservices that each run an aiohttp web server

I read your comment and immediately thought 'uh-oh'. If there is some new mosquito in California, they'll be in the southeast in no time. Too late it appears. It's already old news. I guess no one noticed around here a

I think the point was that quite a bit of technolgical progess happened in the world prior to diversity initiatives. The reference to white nerds likely places the comment in an historical US perspective, possibly western European. Advance

I have lots of guns of every sort, but I collect old Marlins. I especially like the ones from the 50s in particular. They were never perfect, but the difference in factory quality from the old days vs modern stuff (especially the 70s and a

The situation is SC is similar. Many insurers have packed up for the same reasons they left Florida. The same roof repair scams have been running here as well. What I don't understand about the scam is how the insurance adjuster come

Same here. I had 2 or 3 ipods back in the day and loved it although they had a tendency to fail on me. Eventually, I decided to remove my paid-for downloads off of my ipod. That is when I discovered Apple's DRM and the fact that iTune

The freelancer's story seems a little suspicious to me. "Let me translate this. Robin has been using someone else’s credit card for two years..." followed by "I’m on very good terms with Robin." Clearly, 'Robin

I am thinking the argument against would be that the company's contract with you was supported by consideration: they provide the software in exchange for your payment. You are then sending what is intended as an addendum to the origi
