Nope. There really isn't much reason to. The winters are mild, and Arizona is far enough south that there's still a good amount of daylight in the afternoons, at least compared to the northern parts of the US.

That book was a delightful surprise. I never expected that the chapters about giant, intelligent spiders to be the parts that kept me hooked. I'm not sure I could have cared less about what happened to the humans.

> Personally, I feel the solution to insufficient teacher time is to use peer grading much more, and spot checks. Get kids to read and revise each other's works frequently, and teachers should aim to grade at least N papers per stud

Agreed. I lived in the southeast valley for 16 years. At the start of it, we were fairly near the edge of the sprawl, and now you have to drive another 20+ miles to get out of suburbia. It's definitely had an effect on temperature, par

Phoenix regularly has overnight lows above 90F. It's pretty bad.

Best feature coming in iOS 13 is an option to silence all calls from non-contacts. I installed the public beta for that alone because I get so many of these types of calls, and it's saved me 19 interruptions so far this week. Obviously

Which foreach are you talking about? Array.prototype.forEach, for...in loops, for...of loops? The first only works with arrays and array-like objects. The second works on objects and arrays, but it iterates over all enumerable properties, s

Right, and I absolutely agree with that. When I bought my house, I had no expectation that utility services would be the same. While my neighbors and I have some complaints about the quality of our internet service, we're looking for 1

Thanks for the link! I've looked briefly at LTE internet service but hadn't seriously considered it because I'm just on the edge of decent cell service. While my phone usually displays 1-2 bars, it's not even enough to m

I agree that the marginal cost of providing those services to rural homes is higher than urban/suburban homes. However, I think you're vastly overestimating the actual costs incurred, as many (maybe most) people who live in rural

Asking about marital status or number of kids isn't just a red flag. The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission often views it as evidence of illegal hiring discrimination. If they're asking questions like that, what they're

I lived and drove in the Phoenix metro area for many years, and there are very, very few areas that are as dense as most other cities. On top of that, the infrastructure is relatively new, the roads and lanes are nice and wide, and weather

I suppose the theory is that open source is better (a) because you can audit it if you want to, and (b) it's more likely that someone out there has audited it. In practice, (a) falls apart if the user doesn't have the knowledge, e

You might enjoy this article from about 6 months ago (as I did). It doesn't get into torx or hex drives, but covers quite a bit of history of Phillips-like drives. http://www.instructables.com/id/When-a-Phillips-is

I think the intent there would be that you can't intentionally degrade unrelated parts of the service. For example, if Facebook disabled your ability to view or upload photos because you wouldn't consent to sharing your location.

I've always been under the impression that concepts like thread/continuation-local storage were generally discouraged, but I never fully understood the reason. Obviously, you'd want to avoid coupling your code to an HTTP-spec

I'm not an expert in IR or computer vision by any means, so take this with a grain of salt. Air has such a low thermal mass that it doesn't measurably affect most IR sensors. Hot pavement could be a potential issue, but that shoul

IANAL, but in the US, I think only government agencies are barred from introducing illegally-obtained evidence. I could be wrong, but I think that if I (as a private citizen, not affiliated with any law enforcement agency) steal evidence to

Maybe it seems longer than it is because I'm on mobile, but a lengthy post with such an opaque title could really benefit from an executive summary, or even a short subtitle such as: "Guidelines for open source maintainers."

To answer your question, probably Gamergate. In an article about maintaining an open source project, it seems to me like covering contribution guidelines (which I would consider a CoC to be part of) is pretty important. In my experience, ma

> PHP developers [...] visit a disproportionate amount of Vue.js questions. I would guess this is because the installer for Laravel (one of the most popular PHP frameworks) defaults to scaffolding a Vue.js app for your frontend.
