The century old central media establishment stopped pushing a single dialect decades ago. There's no accepted dialect.

120 miles of urban driving? Are you a taxi driver?

I think you are underestimating how bad rest of the world had it during those years. UK for example was still rationing food.

> What's wrong with building simple web applications that get things done and don't require build tools, secondary (or tertiary) languages or meta-languages (like SCSS, ERB, JSX, J…

Some say it's the reason religions pop up.

white anglo-saxon protestant. old money types in US context.

I wonder if something is getting lost in translation. With no particular order: Hearing the word ideation would cause an allergic in people who are sensitive against Americanisms. …

Multiple layers of creolization is the most likely explanation of common grammatic features and distinct vocabularies. There's a language called Gagauz, spoken in Moldova. It has a…

Former. The latter became a thing after V for Vendetta.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of those states have laws for unfair dismissal as well. Companies develop an internal process to cover their backs for such eventualities. Running t…

I switch between toe clips(for commuting) and cleats(for longer rides) at least once a month. Why would you need to handle the chain? Pedals are attached to cranks.

Eh? They are bolted on with screws and get regulary replaced. It's not any difficult than removing training wheels.

That would still tell me something about the candidate. That they don't double check their assumptions is not a great sign. For the record I always encourage candidates to start wi…

I would not call adding two binary numbers algorithmic. Having candidates write code is always a good filter. You'd be surprised by the amount of people who can't write a nested lo…

Mespilon is the original Greek name, which made its way to Latin too. It might be sounding alien to you because of the sound changes.

The word is actually of Greek origin. Who spread it is difficult to tell.

We have kettles and water boils in about 2 mins.

I appreciate the richness you bring to inference.
