Well, we're already saying the second part.

Washington is actually a much better example of an organic-ish area, in terms of street grain. This is pretty ironic, given that the City of Washington (originally just one part of…

"For Life" is in the same way that SCOTUS justices have an appointment "for life". It just means they can't be fired or deposed, not that they can only leave in a box.

I'm 23 and have had my caffeine. It's neither your age nor your decaffeineity that makes this seem wooden.

Counter-counterpoint: all of your counterpoints exist or have equivalents in every other form of communication. You swap unicode (which is nearly universally agreed on) for H.264/T…

I don't know about how TFL will do it, but WMATA in Washington, DC did and will employ the same number of people under automatic operation as it does under manual operation. They w…

Grown men ? You could've just said "adults". You're making an implication you don't want to, I hope, and one which needlessly maligns a whole group of people. That's the same thing…

I've been completely unable to get it to recognize an inverted interrobang (⸘) with no luck, though. Still, very very cool. EDIT: Tried one more time and got it as the 9th suggesti…

My old ThinkPad is near the end of its life (the screen is falling off…) and needs to be replaced. There's absolutely nothing out there that looks like a decent replacement, though…

I haven't looked too deep in that sub, but maybe there are some going on that just don't make the front page? There are some weird ones occasionally, mostly people who've had some …

> increase the level of quality of content and discussion across the board. Would this mean I couldn't launch this unintended pun into a long thread of puns that eventually winds u…

>CentOS4 legacy system Jesus. That's been out of support for well over 2 years. I can't imagine this is the only problem it has. I'm curious: what's keeping the organization from u…

Not sure where you get that they're ignoring it. TFA says nothing of taxes, and that burden falls on the buyer anyway. Unless you're saying that the IRS's guidelines mean it can't …

The issue is that plenty of people come in spouting complete nonsense that they "know" about their health, and they're usually wrong. It creates a default reaction. Imagine someone…

> I quite like [Upstart] versus SysV init scripts. Have you tried systemd service files yet? They're quite nice to work with. I haven't written Upstart's equivalent, so I only know…

NYC Subway fares are always $2.50. Really, as confusing fares go, this is nothing compared to DC's Metro. At the top of the machine, above the head of anyone who can actually fit i…

It kept infuriatingly moving to the next item before I could finish reading. Proves the point, I suppose.

And Atlassian, sort of. When they feel like it. BB uses Markdown, but most of their other stuff is something else entirely.

The way to remember it is just that you're parenthesizing the URL. Naturally, you might write it "look at this thing ( http://example.com)" - in Markdown, you do the same, but with…

I'm still not entirely sure what it does…

Canada might. They're pretty tight with the US, and fake US currency is still a diplomatic problem for them. Film in Iran, however, and they probably wouldn't care at all.

17% from corporations, but also count foundations if you're looking for underwriters overall, not just corporate interests. Probably also universities and "other" for 41.6% That's …

The thing that stops them is the lack of a reason to start them. Why would Goldman throw that much money at a new system, rather than using the existing one? Bitcoin has an existin…
