Edit: just kidding, KO is in, and a quick search says scuba is in as well. Yeah, I'm very surprised that UV is not.

I'm unfamiliar - do common noun acronyms (like scuba) with more common usage than their full-fledged counterparts get in? If so, I could see UV being added.

I mean, while it's weird and sucks that the original creator of Minecraft won't be there, Microsoft is definitely free to distance themselves from outspoken individuals that don't reflect the PC culture they're going for

Thanks so much! I'll definitely take a look into these.

I'm curious too. As a CS grad student with relatively little database knowledge, would this be a good text to start learning?

Do you have a source on the first claim? I'm curious, as someone who was slightly involved with a documentary [1] exposing pitfalls of standardized testing. Generally the SAT only has shown a weak correlation between test scores and fi

Serious question: what use cases are there for using NoScript with Chrome? My assumption is that people using NoScript are concerned with data collection, and wouldn't use Chrome as a result.

No worries. A lot of our issues stem from our (mostly) Republican Party's "War on Drugs". I could give you a rundown, but the summary section from Wikipedia does a good job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

They weren't proclaiming superior morals, rather quoting a rather relevant portion of (what a quick Google search determines as) the Christian Bible. I won't comment on the second half but it only toxifies conversation to assume t

And that's, in essence, what's happening...? People are saying that "we will not work with you unless you stop being an asshole". It's just happening at the organizational level. Linus is more than free to say whate

Delmania was responding to stirfrykitty's argument that SJWs are ruining things, not Torvalds' specific arguments. Their comment wasn't a strawman, but rather on point. Anecdotally, as a university student, I've seen ple

It took me a bit to adjust from Chrome, but I haven't looked back.

You're right, except for the fact that it wasn't the skillset obtained by being a barber that helped build the business - it was the person's business acumen. You can be great at cutting hair, but abysmal at leading individua

Not OP, but just because you've broken the law once doesn't mean you're a bad person, much less lack moral agency. People make mistakes. Sure, some deserve to rot in prison for irredeemable crimes, but many (at least, in my c

Interesting, though most people want a phone that can be held in portrait mode with a single hand. Hence the xperia play's slider design and popsockets for larger phones.

Loads of respect for those supporting this initiative. It increasingly seems like American congressmen and women are prone to diverge from American interests to serve those of corporations and party leaders.

As someone who has also lived through that nightmare - I'm deeply sorry for your daughter. However, you have to remember that this is an anecdote - you don't want to throw people into boxes they don't fit.

AP scores might, but class rank is a far better correlator than SAT scores [1]. Although I couldn't find any research on it for overall collegiate performance, the only research i could find in a short Google Scholar search found sligh

Has any here played LittleBigPlanet (specifically, the sequel)? I'm young enough to learn boolean logic from that game, and went on to develop a true love for programming.
