Cherry switches are indeed fantastic (I too prefer blue).
However they are no longer the only game in town. Razer now do their own line of mechanical switches, and I've found them to be just as good. Razer Blackwidow keyboards with green switches are truly beautiful for typing.
What if Weaselmancer works for a company that has no "work-from-home" policy and has a "set-hours" policy eg. 9-till-5 or something? Basically you are saying he or she needs to be in the office for 16 hours each day, 8 to be "in attendance" and another 8 to actually get stuff done. GFY! Once upon a time I worked for a shitty company like that, but somehow I managed to convince them to let me work in a server room (as a programmer). It was bloody cold but at least I got a lot of shit done. At one point they had four BA's all trying to pump out specs fast enough to keep me in work. Open Plan Needs To Die In A Pit Of Fire!!
I was hoping it would be 100%. Since Twitter has become the mindless echo chamber of the regressive left it has no place in modern society and is in fact doing considerable damage. It needs to die as soon as possible.
Suppose, instead, that there were police permanently stationed outside your house, watching your windows, and every time you left home they followed you everywhere you went.
Well, that would have stopped the guy that tried to break into my house early one morning when I was asleep in bed, and would also have stopped me from getting mugged that time walking home at night, so yeah, I'd say that would be a good thing!
but rust is a far more "safe" language than Swift is.
Rust has been infected with cancer of SJW's and a stupidly crazy code of conduct. All the good developers will leave soon, driven away by the anti-meritocracists.
We've started using it where I work and the greatest thing about it seems to be the ability to paint yourself into a corner and basically have to do the xkcd 1597 thing because there are just too many options.
As has already been explained in comments further up, a pull request is how changes to code get merged back into the master repository when using Git for revision control.
Anyone can download the code and make changes which they then commit locally. Then instead of 'pushing' their changes back into the original version, they issue a request to the maintainer to 'pull' their changes in. It is up the maintainer of the original repository to decide if they want the changes in their code or not.
The interesting thing the study actually found was that pull-request acceptance rates dropped for BOTH males and females when the gender of the requester could be inferred from their username or avatar picture. In some categories that rate dropped more for males, and in others the rate dropped more for females.
But they ignored the drop in rates for males and considered only the drop in rates for females when jumping to their conclusion of "gender bias".

So I guess Google is not a serious web application then.

Not quite as far back as 1999, but close. This is from 2002.

The source is CNN, so probably fake.
Can anybody corroborate this from another source?

I stopped reading at "allot".
Just out of interest, what happens if you sell your house?

I'm about to blow your mind. Security at airports is significantly higher than at magazine offices and rock concerts.
I'm about to blow it right back!

And in a country currently overrun with Islamists, it's not hard to see this happening.

Get all that?
Probably not because you seem to be an SJW moron.
If you're not prepared to grow up then at least creep back into your little safe-space and stop posting on the big bad internet.
because it's easier to breach security in Cairo than Paris.
Yes of course. Because nobody has ever been killed working at a magazine (even a satirical one) or attending a heavy metal concert in Paris!!!111one!!
Grow up you imbecile.
Git is absolutely insufficient.
Is it insufficient or oversufficient?

But make sure it's been marked as 'closed as not constructive'. That's where all the best answers are.

Maybe I'm missing something, but all the praise seems to be around the ability to repel water.
What if something gets dirty from something airborne like exhaust fumes or atmospheric haze or something?
Am I able to wash that off?
If not, it's not self-cleaning, not even 'cleaning-neutral', but actively 'cleaning-resistant'.
it's SJWashdot, what did you expect?
That the new owners might care about the truth a bit more.

Similar to the arguments concerning video game violence, the matter is not settled and so merits both discussion and research.
Ah, but it seems that it is settled... http://games.slashdot.org/stor...
But in the 80ies, there was a French database for Mac called 4..? (I only remember there was a 4 in it's short name).
That would be 4th Dimension.
