CoffeeScript isn't particular about the specific number of spaces, as long as you're consistent. For example:

book.save
title: "The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night"
length: 45
chapters:
"The Fisherman and the Jinni": 1
"The Tale Of The Ensorceled Prince": 13
"The First Kalandar's Tale": 27

Compiles into this JavaScript:

book.save({
title: "The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night",
length: 45,
chapters: {
"The Fisherman and the Jinni": 1,
"The Tale Of The Ensorceled Prince": 13,
"The First Kalandar's Tale": 27
}
});

I hopefully installed Chrome and set it as the default browser on my mom's new Windows 7 machine. Things seemed fine for a while, until I got an e-mail from her saying that whenever she clicked a link from her e-mail (Outlook, unfortunately), she'd get Chrome's "Aw, Snap!" error message -- which, incidentally, she found obnoxious.

Sure enough, it turns out that this is a common issue that occurs when a link in Outlook is followed and Chrome isn't currently running. (Things work fine if it's already up.) Whether this is a Chrome issue or an Outlook issue is unclear to me, but the bottom line is similar to above.
What sources (published sources by observers of the industry) did you have to refer to at the time you posted the articles you created?
This is an artifact of subpixel rendering ("ClearType" on Windows, subpixel antialiasing on OS X). The Wikipedia article is quite good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering
Hm, I think of testing as more of knowing a couple of 'what's' and checking whether our 'how' correctly reaches them. There's an infinite number of 'what's' and we obviously can't test them all, but with testing we generally take a hopefully useful sample of 'what's' and make sure that our 'how' reaches them correctly.

There is a style of testing where you devise two algorithms for the same thing and check whether they both reach the same result. I'm rather dubious of that style.
Django avoids dirctory traversal with django.utils._os.safe_join()

It's awful that it has to come to this.
I'm genuinely curious; is your position that there should be zero societal consideration for those less able than others?
>The ADA makes it unlawful to require proof of a disability or identification for a service dog. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, there are no requirements for licensing, certification or identification of service dogs. Also, service animals are not required to wear special collars, vests or harnesses.

I never really knew about this. Technically you could just bring your dog into any business and claim its a service animal when asked. If the dog is being unruly businesses can exclude you, but it would be an ADA violation to refuse entry. Quite interesting.
I prefer Samsung apps over Google's for the simple reason that they do not insist on uploading my stuff anywhere.

E.g. Google Photos had two choices for the cloud service: start uploading now or upload later (and nagging meanwhile). There's no option for not interested, don't bother me anymore. Samsung Gallery asks for OneDrive once, but is fine with declining and not bothering me anymore.

Yes, the dialer does use third party service for screening the calls; it asked you about it, and when you declined, it respected your choice (I've declined as well).
I'm not sure if it's universal; where I live, the US embassy offers free magazines for anyone (and, yes, they have The Economist). The downside is that they are a couple months old.
Stage actors are acting for a large audience, screen actors are acting for a camera. It's far harder to communicate subtlety to a bunch of people in the back of a theater than it is to a camera that's right up in the actor's face, so they both necessitate different acting styles. The exaggerated style of stage acting does not translate well to screen.
Market dominance and true expertise through strongly enforced company culture is hard to counteract. I say this as someone who verkd for H0nd@ as a mechEngg and witnessed the culture on the inside.

Nokia and Detroit automaker's collapse was tied to a certain lethargy and dysfunction in these companies. The economic downturn was the metal straw that broke the camel's back.

Tesla will undoubtedly keep growing, but I find it unlikely that their margins will ever justify their stock price.
The workaround I've found: Select the relevant line(s), but before releasing the mouse button, cmd-c (or the equivalent shortcut in your local computing environment).

But yes, it's incredibly annoying. Especially for those of us with ADHD who highlight parts of text as an anchor so we can get back on-track faster if we get distracted.
Sure, but they weren't taking that chance were they? They were just being exploited.
If you're truly poor, then buying in bulk is a luxury.
