There's definitely a scale for curiosity and self-inquiry. Some people actually have very little going on there.

If they heard from the CEO specifically, it was probably based on the CEO vibe checking the resume as a last step after passing the entire interview process. The CEO may have spent…

I'm guessing it gets overrun by spam, scams and porn bots even faster if its a low budget community thing.

Its less funneled although most straight lines will approach the southern tip of India. Singapore is one of 2 possible ways through Indonesia and its the shorter one.

Look at the map, all ocean travel between East Asia and India/Europe basically has to go past Singapore. They've been a trade and financial center with a substantial chinese popula…

Both the Soviet and Chinese first few five year plans accomplished the following: 1. Mass starvation at a few points due to central planning errors 2. Horrifying purges and paranoi…

Japan controlled much more of China than the communists did before 1945. And having half your country occupied is bad for GDP. You made a mistake and believed some propaganda here.…

And now you're in court strenuously arguing that you weren't sexually gratified by the photo of your kid in the tub. Obviously most people are sensible most of the time but sometim…

And that's before you get into purchasing power parity. Not only at the consumer level, but the government level. The US has been working on SLS for what, 15 years? And its an over…

Seasons mess that up unless you're burning fuel to make minor plane changes every day. Otherwise you have an equinox where your plane faces the sun (equivalent to an equatorial orb…

Data centers ultimately need to provide power and remove heat. Solar might be a little easier for power in space, maybe, but heat is an absolute no-go, stop, this will never ever w…

I think he's genuinely changed for the worse, quite a lot, in the last 10 years. Staring down failure seemed to keep the worst tendencies in check, being untouchable amplified them…

I'm talking about memory management in-process, I dont think cgroups would affect that?

For the most naive code, if you're calling "new" multiple times per row, maybe Java benefits from out of band GC while C++ calls destructors and free() inline as things go out of s…

No amount of writing could ever outweigh that debate performance he had. He should have declined to run and let a primary winner enter the race with some momentum.

Nitpick, blacksmiths typically did forging, which is hammering heated metal into shape with benefits for the strength of the hammered material. CNC is machining, cutting things int…

I think you're being a little unfair to the civil servant who has to follow the law regarding procurement. I once knew someone who had to solicit 3 bids and document them to buy a …
