A codebase that's formatted notgivingashittily is an accessibility issue. It's not just deranged control freakism. Maybe Yelp's codebase was otherwise clean, but aside from golang projects (and the Linux kernel) I've co

I have memories of a similar escalator, probably at or near Downtown Crossing. I don't remember it being made of wood, but I remember it being narrow and slanted downwards and kind of scary. Come to think of it, the station in general

But are these truly exceptions? Or are they the result of subtler rules French learners are rarely taught explicitly? I don't know what the precise rules or patterns actually might be. But one fact that jumped out at me is that -mal

What's wrong with the poem? Thirteen days have November April, May, and December. All the rest have thirty nine except for February when the weather is fine. Works for me.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. A lot of figures in mythology have multiple names. Paris/Alexander was one -- but today he's far better known as Paris. The characters used to write Αλεξανδρος (no accents ba
