The 1-indexed arrays can sometimes be nice, but I've run into bugs so many times when translating the code into a language with 0-indexed arrays.

Not 100% sure, but I think the access to contacts is so that you can split ride fares with other people.

Yes, they're both text editors, but they're completely different classes of text editors. MS Word is also a text editor, but it would be ridiculous to fault it for not having a CLI. It's nice that Emacs and Vim have GUI modes

You're asking for VS Code to be a completely different product. VS Code is a GUI text editor like Sublime and Atom. There's no reason for it to run in a terminal. Vim and Emacs are classical CLI based text editors. Are you asking

You're still missing the point. Users who know little to nothing about the law NC passed will be made aware of the issue. Some of those people will take action against the lawmakers and/or people that support the law. Overall awar

Really? I haven't found that to be the case. Everything that I've set to specific privacy groups (me only, friends, etc) has stayed the same.

Technically it's not holography, but using the term is the simplest way to convey the idea to the average person. What would you suggest calling it instead?

That's also true for most major breakthroughs like this one.

That's exactly the problem the parent comment suggests we focus on fixing. Once a library is published, npm shouldn't allow anyone to use that name even if the library is pulled.

I think you're seriously overstating the issues with Xcode. There are bugs and annoyances, but things have gotten better over the years. It's not as great as Visual Studio, but it's far from horrible. Remember, we live in a w

I'm studying for these boards right now, and these equations do show up. However, it's not the curriculum (at least not at my school) pushing the rote memorization of drugs, side effects, contraindications, microbes, etc. It'

That's not how type 2 works. The resistance is developed for unknown reasons and it continues to build over time. For a while, your body can compensate by producing more insulin to overcome the insulin resistance of your cells. You do

Hell, I'm only in my second year of med school in the US, and I wouldn't recommend young people go into this profession.

There's an interesting (although controversial) correlation between legalized abortion and decline in crime for that time period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalized_abortion_and_crime_e...

The positive predictive value for the prostate-specific antigen test for prostate cancer is only 30%. This means that only 30% of people who test positive for elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen actually have prostate cancer. This

You're right - there's no one size fits all solution. I'm glad that phones have gotten bigger because they fit my use cases, and based on their popularity I'm definitely not alone. I am surprised that 4" phones have

I have the 6s+, and yeah I can't use it with one hand, but I'm okay with that because I love having the bigger screen so much more. I can see a lot more while typing, watching videos is a better experience, and I've noticed m

I skimmed that study, but it looks like all the samples they tested came from the same guy, and they didn't actually test putting people in MRIs.

The article directly addresses your exact point immediately after that example: "Readers can't be shown everything that happens to a character, or novels would be 800 pages and cover 15 minutes in the protagonist's life. Some

That's a good point. It doesn't appear to be particularly dangerous at low levels - just unpleasant.

Its solubility maxes out at 3%. ~5000 gallons in a river is hardly enough to get to those levels. The news is reporting that the concentration is about 3ppm. 3ppm of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol is about 0.021g of the chemical in 1L of wate

Actually, it's not very water soluble at all. It's a large cyclohexane that's relatively non-polar (the first comment in that reddit link agrees). Approximately 5000 gallons of the chemical spilled into the river, so there li
