As someone who's done a lot of looking at houses (for sale) recently, I firmly believe that most (60%?) owner-done renovations have poor applicability to most potential buyers. Renovations make houses weird. I suppose this fragments the housing market.

I think some engineers have a tendency to want to do too much cleanup and polishing, even when it's not really important for long term maintainability. So I see value in pressure in either direction, depending on context. I think it depends on the codebase and the plans for it.

Reminds me of having to register my Oyster Card with an address something like "..., San Francisco, California SE1 0HS, United States" They were very strict about the UK postcode validation.

With the new system, you can look at the ballot images, can't you? What do those ballots actually look like?

When do you get to the point of writing comments that your coworkers will remember 10 years from now?
(Though I admit the one that comes to mind like that was really a report on a few months of work.)

California does it right.
Maryland income taxes for part-year residents go to great trouble to correctly prorate standard or itemized deductions, exemption credits, and the earned income credit, by the portion of income from each state. But they don't correctly prorate the progressive tax rate structure!

I think at least these two things need to be extension points:
(a) always creates a stacking context, like 'opacity'
(b) always creates containing block for all descendants, like 'transform' (though this is a little outside painting order, but probably should be nearby)

I have a *very* similar rug (currently folded up due to moving etc), which was previously my parents before they moved, and my mom probably knows its origin.

I have the father-bother merger instead (as expected, really). And it's difficult to talk about...

I think the differences continue into May. I remember one day (the day before a meeting in Boston, when folks were traveling there) in mid to late May when it was 50 in Boston, 80 in NYC, 90 in Philadelphia, and 100 in DC.
One of the really interesting areas of work on practical performance that I was pointed to years ago was cache-oblivious algorithms. Haven't heard much about them recently, but maybe I don't pay attention to the right things.
