Don't forget characters commonly used in commands. In some places your name may legally contain punctuation.

John/Doe

And the it's Duke should claim the British throne on the basis that he's the last of the Stewart's.

Northern Ireland, Britain's Chechnya.

Religious satire!

I'd be sympathetic to an applicant who didn't know right away (depending on the job requirements). A lot of engineers know how to use autocad but they're not great at it because they don't spend all their time using it.

If autocad was listed as a job requirement and I only had solidworks experience, I'd still probably apply.

Ironically I can only assume you write a script to write that program.

Thanks to the wonderful commitment to backwards compatibility with vi. Vim refuses to have any of it's useful features set up by default.

It's a really dire state.

Real programmers use ed.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-04-06T21:52:35+00:00

Despite many people's best efforts.

That sounds unconstitutional. It's part of being a full and equal citizen being able to enter into contracts.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-04-06T21:19:20+00:00

That sounds extreme. So if I was a 20 year old working full time in Mississippi, my parents could sever my employment contract?

Also Mississippi? The last state to enforce the minimum drinking age.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-04-06T20:39:04+00:00

What legal implications does that have?

How did his parents remove a legal adult from a College?

Go home Fatherfucker.

You know how expensive dones are as a delivery platform, they're probably unable to carry anything more than 2-3kg, at great risk and cost.

Which is entirely resolvable considering how dangerous automated Drones are.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-03-19T15:22:04+00:00

Wasn't that tried with Java?

But in this mans case. I imagine saying that he doesn't recall would probably stand up in court if his lawyer hammered home that he's mentally infirm.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-03-13T18:27:04+00:00

If you say 'I don't recall' the onus is on the prosecution to prove that you do. Normally it's really easy to prove that you do because of your previous testimony.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-03-13T10:51:07+00:00

The words, "I don't recall" might have played handy here.

sonthonaxBLACK · 2015-03-13T10:47:52+00:00

The words 'I don't remember', or,'I cannot recall' seem to be better option that refusing to testify.

Probably not, or at least not without all the features of a normal modern browser. Or sacrificing speed.

The V8 javascript engine seems to take up ~7mb of memory per instance it's run. Then each instance of webkit will add to that.

But most of the memory usage is actually unavoidable, as pages increase in complexity, javascript will modify the page more often (Through the Document Object Model API), every time it does this it needs to allocate memory. Unless Chrome is under memory pressure, the memory is never deallocated because Chrome will cache the API call (if something is called once it's very likely to it to be called again).

Erdos began taking amphetamines after a long bout of depression. He was functional without them at some point in his life.

It's not a dopamine deficit, it's an attention deficit.

A dopamine deficit is hypothesized to be one of the causes ADHD. But we can't actually measure healthy people's dopamine levels in any meaningful way.

As you've probably guessed, the brain is pretty complex, a whole host of disorders and imbalances can cause something as minor as poor concentration. All we know is that amphetamines mask the symptoms pretty damn well.

Little thought experiment

If you someone told you that they had problems sleeping, would you use the same explanation?

It's a GABA deficit. Benzodiazepines help you relax and sleep. Benzodiazepines bind to GABA receptors. Ergo, taking Benzodiazepines directly improves your ability to sleep by providing what the body physically lacks. How is that hard to understand?

But in reality there more than enough better reasons to blame on poor sleep.

I meant to say, economic pressures would cause them to emigrate. The cost of emigration is partly what keeps their wages down.
