OpenOffice Writer and LibreOffice Writer have their proper bugs of their own, to the point that it's very frustrating to work with a non-trivial document. Many of these include some aspects of formatting not being saved to file and not

From the video, 1ms feels real time, but with 5ms you can still notice the lag. So wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "4ms is significant"?

My guess is same argument as adding blood type to ID: it could help you in situations like emergency or accident (checking blood type is a few seconds anyway, but there might be situation where a test kit is not available when needed).

Wow, I wonder how you got by. I'm useless when I had -2 or -3 myopia: couldn't recognize people's faces, couldn't read signs. With -3 I think your computer screen even looks blurry.

There's also a Perl script with the same name since 2009, written by Audrey Tang (of pugs fame) and then rewritten by Ricardo Signes (of Dist::Zilla fame). I've used this script for years, not realizing there were other implementa

I wouldn't quite say "equally". Jakarta is a melting pot and the most significant portion of the population there is of Javanese descent. But many many people who are of Javanese descent don't even speak Javanese, especi

Don't worry, it's improving :) We used to only be recognized as "the country which has Bali" (or even sometimes falsely as "located in Bali").

Malay and Indonesian language are like British and American English, except with far more difference in vocabulary and far more false cognates. Although not nearly as different as, say, Portuguese and Spanish. Yes, a typical Malaysian or Si

I'm Indonesian. Lots of people have Bahasa Indonesia as their first language, especially in the cities. Unless you go to the remote areas, you practically won't find people who can't speak Indonesian. In fact, it's the u

It has been like that since forever (at least since 5.10, 2007). To only match 0-9, use [0-9] or /\d/a (/a is available since 5.14, 2011).
