News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

They've been sending me a bill for three years now on an account they closed. I could not get the assholes to kill the account so I changed credit cards. The support was helpful but gave me phone numbers to call that did not exist and just kept saying they can't do anything else.

I threatened with lawyers and I have full correspondence on my behalf kept safe so they can just fuck off with their bills.

Strangely I find the Volt spacious and quite wide and long. Lowering the seats it can fit in a huge amount of cargo and the trunk is quite large to begin with.

It also consumes just about the same in gas as a Prius even when not charged which just shows Toyota does not know what the fuck they are doing.

Search this source of emotion and thought. Who is it that experiences it. The answer can not come from the mind since what you perceive can not be you. This is self enquiry and can lead to revelations.

No. The separate self is an illusion and can not truly know anything. Only I am is known.
Citation please! This is FUD otherwise.

yes. If it is this hard to understand rebasing, how can there be understanding of other programming core concepts?

you just rebase on top of their changes. No biggie here. It does not matter one bit if their branch rewrites itself underneath.
I would seriously throw Leaflet down the cliff and replacd with Mapbox for just the performance alone. All of the features plus documentation are there with Mapbox and the performance is ridiculously better.
do not take exercise advice from people who do not do it themselves.
So before diagnosing the problem you made the customer spend huge amounts of money based on a guess. Not the least bit surprised.
even that is too much excitement for me , dim lights or total darkness and just silent meditation sitting on a cushion for about 30-60 minutes is what it takes.
Oh, it definitely will. Lack of sleep invites panic and anxiety attacks. When well rested they are nonexistent.

After about four years from birth you'll recover though and looking back you won't even remember anything so it's all good.

Answer them with a referral for (them) a visit to a therapist. Working weekends is pathological.
Somehow I got the feeling of there being a lot of boilerplate necessary to create just about anything. Still this is years ahead of the competition (excluding re-frame).

My. primary frustration is working with Javascript data structures after using Clojure maps for 4 years. I sometimes write something taking several lines and then for shits and giggles write the same in Clojure and just weep for the armies of programmes who just have no idea...

The world is what we make of it. There is the shadow and there is the light. Still I believe our natural state is that of love, before all concepts of anything that is all there is.

At this point you introduce schema.core and gradual typing. No need to blame the language when there is a solution for this.
How can a screen capture capture thinking?
I drove a Toyota CR-V and was really amazed how it manages to burn fuel while decelerating. It is a disgrace of a hybrid vehicle.

The monad is the clitoris of programming.
