If Amazon is actually taking advantage of the food stamp programme rules, how can changing the rules have any other effect than making people starve ?

I actually stopped learning new languages with these features because I started to get so frustrated they weren't available. Or I implemented then am everyone got weirded out by their 'strangeness'

From a narrative point of view, the spatial problem as stated is a quite decent post hoc argument for why time travel is usually fraught with danger, even after the science is known, as predicting the exact parameters needed would be nigh i

Maybe not the case if they looked crooked, but having irregular placement of construction elements is a valid way to decrease tendency for self resonance through different vibration modes being dampened by the mismatched distances. An irreg

I would very much like to have something like Google authenticator, but for billing. With the ability so set it as alarms on my phone (and coworkers), preferably with some smarts to detect short usage spikes. In essence, settings and updati

Being frustrated with burned top, and undercooked bottom I figured out that using the broiler together with a couple 2-3 mm thick pre-heated aluminium sheet that I placed the pizza on produced pretty good results. Not that I was aiming for

I don't know anything about how the licencing works, and what parts are covered, but the patents reported to ITU for H.265/HEVC as a whole is substantial, see: https://www.itu.int/itu-t/recommendations/

It's satisfying for me, it's an honest answer, and as good as any other. With enough free time there wouldn't be much need for a direction. And after a while I would probably figure out something I liked doing more than other

Actually, it's chloramine alone that is the culprit for both the smell and the red eyes according to the actual report. Which isn't reporting any new finding, as far as I know this has been well known since many years. The short v

It seems the argument could be that since he didn't object to the new ToS when they were changed, and kept using parts of their service, the clause forbidding arbitration towards RSI is/was still binding. One oddity, except the us

There appears to be some volume limits for the free tier, that might explain the difference in experience. Right now I get the following for most of the graphics on the linked page: "This embedded plot has reached the maximum allowable

There might be a difference that's worth noting. There are game designs that are clearly engineered to create either outright addiction, or at the very least, cravings. Porn, at least superficially, doesn't seem to attempt to engi

The parent seems to agree with you, that Haskell is maybe too eager to keep to 'mathematical' names, but it almost sounds like you interpreted the parent the other way around? Your comment reads almost equally well with two differ

Game theoretical, I don't have a solution, but for the scoundrels they tend to have a different set of truths for everyone they talk to. I think it should be possible to use this to at least limit the space the scoundrels can act withi

Very few people are really able to spot people with even quite blatant sociopathic/anti-social behaviours, they just fit too well into the stereotype of the able, charismatic, and successful. In general, you will be the one in ten, or

It's a bit sad, I do long for the stars and planets. However, rramatically improving rockets might be like trying to improve the carriage to get a much faster personal transport, while keeping the horse. It seems to be the case, that t

I've certainly seen this behaviour, years wasted on things that could never work in the long run, then rinse and repeat. I've only been on for one cycle, but the pattern is quite clear, even if it might not be completely intention

The reproducibility problems of psychology general - of which this is only a small fragment - is showing a few things: 1) Psychology is harder than almost anyone thought. 2) We are only now starting to have enough data to know just how hard

It could be the case that the click driving articles themselves is an effect of Facebook, but also Google and many others, serving as implicit or explicit filters favouring the style, because their click hungry ad selling algoritms feeds it

Skeptics in the committee could have stopped this if I counted correctly, but they rather use it as bait to create more skeptics than to implement their own policies. While it could get ratified into law, at this point it seems out of chara

I didn't laugh our loud, I'm on the subway after all, and that's serious matters here in Sweden. But it sure made me grin, a most fitting and clever response!

I'm a bit ambivalent on the issue, because if the quote is any good, it should stand on its own without appeal to any authority or writer. But then we have the quotes that are quite banale in nature, but where the use of said quotes ha

Yep. It's quite clear that there are forces trying to affect EU in the hope of breaking it up, mostly to further a right-wing agenda of some sort, but also to simply destabilise it to decrease it's influence. For democracy as an i

What you say is correct for some, but not all people. In FPS games many don't see a huge visual difference between 60Hz and say 140Hz, except for latency. That's not true for everyone. For me and a few others, there's even a

If your design have multiple threads waiting for accept on the same socket, then leaving it to the OS to schedule said threads on accept should at least be the first to try. If nothing else because it's the least surprising thing to do

There shouldn't really be any outside of the kernel, and preferably none inside.

Unsure what I'm more astonished about, that the correct case is that it would spin 29ms, or that a CPU instruction has changed it expected latency and prder of magnitude upwards. I would expect any spinning lock to spin at most some sl
