I tried vermilion and got nothing, so googled to check my spelling was correct and came across Wikipedia colour descriptions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion

You might wish to make the corpus self-expanding, and for a given word do Wikipedia (or other source) lookups to see whether structured information on the colour exists.

There are whole lists of colours on there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors:_A%E2%80%93F

Of course, it would require the addition of attribution for wherever you obtained the data.

It is more polarized than 1983, which I am old enough to remember. E.g. Tip O'Neill, Speaker of the House through the end of 1986, was willing to work with Reagan.

I came of political age in the '70s, watched Watergate unfold, can still remember where I was when we learned Nixon resigned; the Left's hatred of him was implacable, I've read that was true since around 1948-50. But things weren't quite so bad after he left the scene. We loathed Slick Willie with a passion (now, not so much...), but we could at times work with him.

The 2000 election, though, that really polarized things, protesting the legitimacy of an election at the highest levels is utterly dangerous (one of the greatest things about our sorts of systems is solving the succession problem, one set of people running the nation replacing another), and Obama hasn't helped.
As much as people like to throw stones at Terry, TempleOS does some really interesting things. It really is impressive that he's built an entire operating system from the ground up from first principals. There are some novel concepts in there; I loved his integration of sprites into source code.

Minor, but still: you can't write a conforming WebSocket client in 3 lines of code, and you can't write a conforming WebSocket server in 200 lines of code. I know: I have written a couple. Anyway. Moot, since this isn't about WebSocket.

WebSocket only provides you with a bidirectional message channel. It's low-level, and does not provide application messaging.

WAMP can run _over_ WebSocket, but also other message channels. E.g. you can have WAMP running over a shared-memory message queue.
Apologies if this causes any offence, but I was intrigued to find "semen" and "jizz" result in two different colors. I suspect investigating similar differences would be a way to reverse engineer the technique.
Thanks, this is really helpful. Looks like I'll be adding a lot of new filters.

It's not just a simple color mixer; it's actually a "filter compositing engine". I write rules for each keyword by hand, currently. It gives me more control over how different words affect the final color.

The term "traffic" is never defined. Web requests? Quantity of data transferred? Both of those would have significantly shapes depending on whether the client was a browser or an app.

It's also interesting to note that the top 10 "Browser Reach Advantage" websites are basically text based websites - news sites, wikipedia and blogs.

That's horrifying. Not the book, but the "tricks". All of those are about memorizing the superficial (graphical things) without understanding what's happening, weakening the connection between graphical representation and performed operation. I'm glad I was never exposed to those "tricks" and I feel I'd have much trouble trying to remember them because I understand what's actually happening.

In Sweden (and possible in other countries) the ATMs let you choose whether you want to let the ATM (or bank that the ATM belongs to) do the conversion from Euro to Swedish Kronor or your own bank. If you pick the latter option, your bank might charge you for the conversion, I never had the case that the Swedish bank charged for it.

In my APrinter firmware project[1], I rely exclusively on Nix for building for multiple microcontrollers, including AVR and many ARM ones. It's great - I can tell anyone "just get Nix (on Linux) and run this command". They can even run the configurator as a local web application, all that is needed is nix-build then run it.

I even took it one step further and made a nixops deployment expression for setting up an online service (like http://www.aprinter.eu/), which will itself compile firmware for you as configured.

One solution to the problem of user flow A vs user flow B is to dispense the cash and return the card simultaneously and together. The "together" part is admittedly difficult to engineer but perhaps the card slot could be placed just above the cash dispenser, so both are in your line of sight.

A "ramp" (in US aviation jargon) is where aircraft are loaded and prepared for flight. The official term is "apron" and a common layman's term for this area of an airfield is "tarmac." Guessing this is the main source of confusion.

"Tramp" here probably means harlot (consider the cheesecake pinup nose-art common on WWII-era US bombers, as alluded to in the article.)
This is known as "dynamic currency conversion" and gives you a much worse deal than letting them charge you in a foreign currency (even when your bank has high fees). The way they do it is by offering a really bad exchange rate. In fact, the Swedish bank charges you for that, it's just hidden in the exchange rate.

In this case there's a very simple reason. I'm one of the authors, for the newest version we did some restructuring and took advantage of the C# 6 Quality-of-Life improvements

For example the auto-property initializers introduced in C# 6/VS 2015 saved us about 100 LoC (on a 600 line class), and in addition made some properties truly immutable instead of privately mutable.

As for actually using the library, we provide .NET 4 and .NET 4.5 DLL's (only a 4.5 nuget package) so you can still use it in older VS versions, just not build it.

My mother is like this. She is used to card-then-cash flow. Once she was using ATM abroad with me helping her (because it's in english). The moment card came out she turned to me with frantic face asking "where's the money?!?". She generally distrusts ATMs.

I once lost my card due to cash-then-card flow. And once left cash in card-then-cash machine. Bank did returned it though.
Does it explain why ab = ba?
Good idea! If both the money and the card could be taken in the same movement, that would make it very convenient.

and Second Amendment advocates were alarmed because of 1993 and 1995 anti-gun legislation.

To my memory, 1993-4 were the critical Clinton years for gun control polarization. It started with the BATFE's "ricebowl" Waco raid, the Ruby Ridge trials during 1993 brought that Republican era atrocity into sharp light, the 1993 Brady Bill passed at the end of the year, followed of course by the 1994 ban on new "assault weapons". Clinton himself credited gun control for the historic loss of the Congress in 1994, and many noted the first re-election defeat of a Speaker of the House since 1862 (when the nation was much, much more polarized, in the middle of a Civil War that killed over 600K).

I don't remember being hardly so concerned in 1996, can't even remember any Federal legislation gaining traction in 1995, although we were very determined to keep the Congress in Republican hands.

Unconventional Programming with Chemical Computing [video]
This did for some reason wake a bit of nostalgia in me from the earlier days of the public Internet. I bet it's the spartan design and the lack of anything else other than the to-the-point content. (That said, fascinating content - might try it out!)
A possible solution to fix this in schools may be to include questions that cannot be solved by applying tricks blindly. Adding these questions will allow teachers to identify which students are simply using tricks and which students deeply understand the material.
Bringing to mind... all of these apps should have the ability to lock the screen when they detect a strong shock, i.e. being knocked to the ground.
On a slightly tangential note -

In the name of getting rid of "mechanical" learning, most schoolkids these days don't even get to learn multiplication tables. While learning the tables is a pain, they pay rich dividends.

As an example, an 8th-grade kid who I help with math was struggling to find the square root of 529. He tried dividing it by his usual set of numbers, and pretty much hit a brick wall. I tried to get him to see that 529 was between 400 and 625, so its square root had to lie between 20 and 25. He did see it, but it's going to take him a while to figure out that he can do this with any number, if he can remember (or quickly work out) a few squares.

Now, one /could/ argue that computing the square root of a number is in itself mechanical ... but just a nodding familiarity with numbers can make even that a breeze.

And yes, the root cause of the problem is that math is taught as a bag of complicated tricks which need to be remembered, and not understood :/
It's still a complicated approach without proper material or teachers to orient you. There are "obvious" derivations that may be possible to produce by most people by putting a couple of hours on it, and then there are other "obvious" derivations that took hundreds of years and thousands of man-hours, and when you are learning you aren't on a position to tell them apart. Others are a bit in the middle and can be turned into the "easy" kind by making a few not-so-obvious assumptions. But that still requires a proper guidance.

Even derivations itself probably contain plenty of not so obvious "tricks" that should be known to develop them. It's not so clear cut what is a trick and what are obvious assumptions from the real world. I suspect that the regular increase of IQ every generation may be related to all those hidden tricks and skills that everybody acquires at school or from general culture, but that at some point they become invisible obvious assumptions and common sense.

Another easier approach may be to start with the tricks and work backwards from there to more general premises.
> Why is (1/2) / (1/4) = 2? It's because there are 2 quarters in every half

That sounds like looking for a "trick" to me, rather than the much simpler generic rearrangement. Trying to cram that phrase into more complex ones I'd start thinking "Wait, how many five eighths are there in seventy sixteenths?"

If the question is "what is (1/2) / (1/4)" and you can't see it, then the idea of rearranging the equation and why rearranging it is OK is pretty important and general.

(5/8) / (70/16) = x

5/8 = 70x / 16

5 . 16/8 = 70x

5 . 2 = 70x

10 = 70x

1/7 = x

That seems simpler to me than "There is one seventh of seventy sixteenths in five eighths" and it requires knowing how basic multiplication and division works, and that the equals sign means that the things on both sides are equal, so if we multiply both sides by the same number or divide by the same number then that's OK. That can then lead into why you need to be careful about values being 0 or why sometimes you have to add ± to an answer.

You can also just generally explore rearrangements, try out different modifications and see if it makes things simpler, go back and try others.
Also worth mentioning is that China is now the new market for seal pelts and seal meat. In 2010 they decided to start that trade with Canada, a move that contrasts with the most of the rest of the world where bans have been put in place.

I suppose a case can be made for battering two week old seals to death with a sharp blow to the head, not forgetting to slit the arteries in their flippers before skinning them as we wouldn't want to be over-run with seals, would we? However, I am amazed that a new market can be found for seal products in China. I can't imagine 'braised baby seal on toast' would sell that well if sold in Europe. I don't know if you would get that many 'likes' after 'Instagramming' such a dish, which seems to be the reason for eating deluxe food these days.
That's pretty amazing. Could you or anyone else elaborate why would providing a conventional electrical conductance based communication channel be difficult ? I am sure it is, otherwise they wouldn't go to such great lengths( or depths, in this case)
