Using a reasonable OS (Linux etc), 4GB is absolutely fine for browsing and basic tasks, and indeed is often fine for development and other more-than-basic tasks as well, depending on how exactly you work (Emacs/Vim…
This particular "viewpoint" is widely known, period, because there's no shortage of douchebros that freely advocate it, and more to the point, there's nothing to be gained from "suppressing" it. Rather, more publicity…
That, presumably, is one reason supply is restricted ("fixed"), along with other restrictive laws, like height or density limits, forced parking minimums, etc. Another contributor is poor transportation infrastructure,…
I tend to use Google Keep (https://keep.google.com/) for this sort of thing, which is similarly pretty lightweight and doesn't impose much structure on anything, but is also permanently backed up and synced between all…
The notable thing about "Irish" bars, I think, is that there are so many of them in non-Irish places, compared to other types of "nation-branded drinking establishment."
Not being sarcastic, I just didn't watch the video. I was wondering if it was basically the same thing with nice animations...
Is this just the contents of the video in text form? In any case, thanks! I don't need to watch the video now, as you've very clearly explained it in only four lines of text!
Mild snarkiness aside, is the quote really inaccurate? "Getting used to" [something] has a pejorative sense, but it also just means "becoming familiar with," and really understanding something is, in a way, simply being…
The education correlation is also supported actual voting results, by seeing how voting results correlated with education levels in each voting region. So it doesn't seem to be just an artifact of polling behavior.
I suspect another reason that politicians are so eager to stomp on H1B workers is because they're an easy target: most people don't care, and the H1B workers themselves can't vote, so pandering to anti-foreigner…
I'm sure there are some tech workers who support Trump, but education seems to be one of the best predictors for who voted against Trump, and tech workers are probably on average better educated than the general…
Also, AFAIA, the addictiveness of alcohol varies a lot amongst the population, whereas pretty much everybody who smokes is addicted. This means that using alcohol like you mention, as an occasional social lubricant, is…
The most obvious difference is that alcohol isn't directly harmful to other people, whereas smoking is... This attribute basically makes it very difficult for people to adopt a "well it's their choice, I'll let them dig…
Why should it matter how they use the land? If they want to use it purely to irritate Zuckerberg, that's their business.

Yeah, for a very, very, very small subset of words, the very first and most immediate things babies care about, this theory makes some sense. For everything else, not so much.
Seriously, that wording is bizarre, like they started with "often," and then later made a "use more convincing language" pass without really paying much attention... [Nose in Mandarin: bí or bízi...]
I think most people would agree that it's not the money that's the issue, it's that you need to somehow register with apple to compile and develop and app (presuming that's what this means). Also what does this imply…
Huh? I'm not referring to setjmp at all... (why would you think I'm referring to setjmp?) The PNG format has lots of variations and optional bits that would be quite annoying if you needed to handle them all yourself.…
libpng is actually very easy to use directly. Some other image libraries are hard because they force you to write many code-paths to handle various different cases, but libpng provides many different helpers that make…
I don't think there are any real tricks, cooking is all about practice. Just buy some recipe books or download whatever recipes tickle your fancy (I think Indian and Chinese are delicious, often simple, cheap, and…
With one of these things going, one wonders how long your dog would continue to have hearing at 60Khz...
Of course, sometimes the decision is easy because you're bumping up against complexity limits to such a degree that you just can't fit any geographical reality on a map and still have something even remotely readable:…

I dream about what might have resulted if studio politics hadn't driven Guillermo del Toro away from directing the Hobbit... Whether or not it would have worked, who knows, but it almost certainly would have been…
