One of the reasons Adventure Time is so interesting is that it manages a delicate balance - it is both your typical "kids cartoon" but also manages to appeal to an older audience. Most cartoons try to do this by slipping in pop cu

It's not hard too eat so that it only costs ~5$ a day depending on your situation. Most simple meals like a sandwich or some pasta can be made for ~1$ and a little more effort. Where I live in Philly a little ad hoc produce stand sets

Hearing "DHTML" reminded me of Thomas Brattli's old site[1] and it's successor dhtmlcentral. I learned quite a bit from those sites in the late 90s early 00s. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20001019

Hang out on forums, #javascript, etc some time and see how many people have problems because their understanding of the DOM begins and ends with the jQuery API. I see it all the time. I've seen big-name sites bug out or slow to a crawl

The Google search is only mentioned once in passing in the text, and in the image. Their argument is based on the number of users/groups on lift. This is of course, also pretty flimsy - but I don't think its being presented as sci

Is it ethical to get up and get a cup of coffee on the clock? Stop and chat with coworkers? Browse the Internet? It's unreasonable for employers to expect you to spend 100% of your time 100% focused on the 'task at hand'. You

To be clear, the specific part you mention is fair...but I don't think anyone would object to that. The part where it seems somewhat unfair is where the director asked weixiyen to give up pay they were entitled to. It's fair enoug

You may be "thinking backwards". If their language doesn't have this feature, or their society these concepts...it's because they don't really run into these situations to the point that it becomes detrimental.

It currently has a loose target of ES5. It has some features like Object.create, but not others like property descriptors or Function.prototype.bind. One of my hopes for this post is to encourage interest in Higgs, and ideally contributions

That's the premise of the article we're discussing. They mention that experiment specifically.

There are directors who have scored one or many of their own films, such as John Carpenter, Robert Rodriguez, and Clint Eastwood. It's true that excepting the ones who have a strong music background director-composers usually produce s

To be fair this guy is probably not as far out there as you might think. Consider for one that quite a lot of people believe in transubstantiation; a bit of bread and wine becomes the body of their savior. I don't think this is too far

I think most Russian-speaking programmers are intelligent enough to understand it's a foreign name, especially since it's written as "kal" and not "кал". > I.e. name shouldn't sound funny obscene in any

Sure, it would be a poor name for a new soda you plan to market in Russian-speaking countries; but probably not really worth mentioning here. I'm sure you realize, but lots of Russian words/phrases sound funny (or obscene) in Engl

JS supports integers; it just doesn't have an integer type so you can't always store, operate, etc on them efficiently (though a smart engine can do some of that for you). It has bitwise manipulation operations which treat the Num
