Downtown Philadelphia as well. In fact, the small access street behind my work has a giant boiler in a back of an 18 wheeler that seems to be hooked up to our building while they are working on pipes and such. it's crazy! It was rented which i think was weird, there was a sign on the side to powerhouse, a quick google reveals the link below

I use "I'm moving back to my parents" always works.
Nah, I'd rather not be held accountable for endless scope creep and 80 hour work weeks delivering a product I repeatedly called a pile of bugs
Bad idea

If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor and when was the last time you needed one?
isn't that what those scanners do lol?

Re:Debian 9.4 released on Saturday March 10, 2018 @09:31PM (#16561413)
Not really. Arch has a strict upstream rule, they avoid patching or maintiain dead shit. So when the hellish time when KDE4.0 came out, they released it immediately. Anyone upgrading on a 3.5 system was severely disadvantages
Okay, I know everyone else probably knows about this feature, but I never did until today.

Super useful, you get some binary blob script you are supposed to make 'just work', but it's hard to debug the internals with everything on one line!

This button auto formats the file. you don't get more relevant line names, but you do get an opportunity to understand the logic in a more sensible manner.

The debug tools will even give you new line numbers for errors and you can easily throw a breakpoint on it too.

In e-commerce, order data and item level data can be exported to reported engines to gather info but you can pseudorandom the names to prevent data leakage

If Mark zuckerberg ran for office on one party, I'm guessing it would impact the number of users in the opposition party
Except - they explicitly state something along the lines of being a "24/7 pepe rally". /r/politics was a default sub that all new users saw when they signed up for reddit, or browsed without logging in.
Is it possible that those users were deleted after this was revealed?
> The DNC was not paying Correct The Record as you claim; they were independently funded by donors around the country, all of whom are listed here:

Super PACs have NEVER taken advice or worked directly with national campaigns. (they verifiably do)

> Correct The Record had about a dozen full-time content producers writing favorable posts about the Democratic candidate online.

> If this was supposed to be your evidence of a vast DNC conspiracy to ruin Reddit, I'm incredibly disappointed.

I would say reddit going from a place that once supported open and free ideas, to one that only pretends to, is a very dangerous thing. Shilling is real, people are paid to do it. On both sides. Clearly the left wing has the advantage on reddit.

> And given the 328 million Russian Twitter accounts used in the general election to produce paid pro-Trump content, do you really want to have this conversation?

NYtimes writing slam pieces about our president? More fake russian collusion stories? Color me shocked. I don't trust the media, and neither should you. The whole Russia story is hogwash.
