wow, -2. What a surprise. Anything that paints Trump in a good light is downvoted. And this is why there's a silent majority that smile when libs talk and vote Trump anyway.

or maybe it's meant to actually help the students, and it's something that he can do without the opposing party conducting lawfare and stopping it? I don't know, I always look at t…

there was a case where the USSC ruled that growing food on your own land for your own consumption was interstate commerce, and forced the farmer to stop. Never underestimate the ab…

executive orders are SUPPOSED to only be directives to the Executive Branch on how to conduct operations. Unfortunately this power has been abused by past Presidents. Executive Ord…

with high insulin, doing this nearly guarantees that your body will pull the calories from muscle tissue, versus pulling them from fat. So you can end up sabotaging your efforts.

no need to re-architect the program at that point, since heap pressure was reduced. The big takeaway for me here is to learn how your target language allocates memory for new objec…

I was IT for a company back in the late 90's that was using neural networks (along with a non-invasive sensor net)to detect breast cancer. Didn't quite work then, would be nice to …

todo.org Org-mode realllllly makes it better. I keep it open and have 'Pre-launch' and 'Post-launch' todo items, plus major design features have their own heading with steps broken…

You used to be able to learn how to produce explosives via the Encyclopedia Britannica... now, not so much.

funny you should mention that: I saw a YouTube video last week that went through some linear algebra real-world uses - edge-detection being one of them... it would have been awesom…

meh, my hair was thinning anyway, so buzzed it. Then, as my kids reached the age of 4 or 5, I 'let' them cut my hair for me.
