    Maybe they've been there before and happen to remember "page 10". Maybe someone else has been there before and told them "Go to page ten". Maybe you know that there are 20 pages, a…

    The first sermon is said to be recorded by the dhammacakkappavattana sutta. Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu's translations of the pāli Canon are usually sensible: https://www.dhammatalks.org/su…

    what's the point of that? it takes a while to learn how to use your text editor well, and everyone is probably good at a different one. but they all pretty well have the ability to…

    If I had some persistent problem or concern I would just bring it up, I wouldn't wait for some scheduled meeting. I guess some managers might not be so easily available.

    I have had good luck with arpnetworks. So far only noticed one outage in three years of use. Have had good network and CPU performance. They don't do tech support for things inside…

    I've seen this notation quite commonly. I haven't looked at the link but based on your quote your comment about page 14 doesn't look right. The different notation doesn't change th…

    My knife isn't perfect, but I'll keep just it and no other life long if I have to. I don't need a new one for each batch of carrots. But when collaborating on a curry, I don't want…

    I understand that other being hard to scale in a machine efficiency sense, the old techniques were also rather limited in applicable domain. They were often based on unjustified mo…

    I don't think that anyone can answer that categorically. It's a question for philosophy or metaphysics. Almost merely a matter of opinion. It's hard to criticize software for not w…
