Because I'm a pedant, I think you meant descendants?

This is not a sustainable solution. This is kicking the can down the road. The population of any closed system, whether country, continent, or even planet, cannot grow indefinitely…

You assume too much. There is frequently no asking. There has been (in my personal experience) a lot of demanding, and (yes) entitlement to expect that an opinion from one is more …

Seems strange that there is no mention of the purported significance of the passengers. Were they never confirmed? http://www.theindychannel.com/news/local-news/2-killed-in-fi...

I'm willing to take that risk when the deescalation is to prevent WW3. The time for a world sheriff passed, and using proxy wars is like playing with matches next to dynamite. Why …

Also, the second link forwards to the third, so that makes this a single data point?

Ah. I understand what you were saying now. It does seem to make sense that pairing senior engineers together would not benefit a team as much as pairing a senior with juniors.

Can you cite the studies of which you are referring? I had not heard that the efficacy of pair programming is correlated with member seniority prior to this comment.

I use it for kitchen related lookups, timers, and music. The music selection sucks, so I often end up just connecting my phone via bluetooth. My only custom use was to write a WOL …

Going to need you to finish that train of thought. Data aggregation (or power concentration) isn't any more inherently machiavellian than any of the non sequiturs you rattled off.

You are missing that saving a bookmark to the desktop does not provide a different instance of the browser when spinning up. It will just open a tab in the first browser it finds. …

I'm not. Who has time to fully comprehend (and act upon) this? Especially when we're already working >50h a week to maintain household status quo. It's hard to focus on the state o…

Do you guys post the process by which you compile this image anywhere? I was very impressed the last time I saw you put out an update because I have tried in the past (as a learnin…

I'm not seeing any validation for empty email form submission responses. I clicked a button and got a success page redirect.

Is this surprising when you are charged similarly for print and digital copies despite the production costs being nowhere near the same? Ebooks were supposed to be the cost effecti…

Clearly.

A bit of a nitpick, but I've noticed the trend of several sites to only allow SSO with one, maybe two, 3rd parties. More egregious, no ability to sign up directly. Are other langua…

Is this OSS? If not, are there any plans to add Plex to it?

I, too, had issues with this, so I made this script to limit the thread to only the jobs posted in the last 24h. It should be simple enough to modify it to meet your needs. Not the…

This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Or make the prizes reasonable. I won an RC helicopter and got a few t-shirts at a hackathon a couple years ago. I wasn't there contingent on the prize, but it was still a nice ince…
