Hickfang | 5 years ago | on: Patricia Highsmith was an enduring writer

> She was gay, an alcoholic, suffered from lifelong clinical depression and had a tough upbringing, not really a combination that will produce an easy person given her times. But she gave us Tom Ripley and, incredibly, made us root for him somehow. That's a rare talent.

Isn't how that how most works of art are inspired?

That's just it, the union is there to represent the interests of the senior officers and no one else.

@scpedicini: "This had to have been one of the most boring articles I've ever read. Flowery, overly prosaic and not a single interesting take away about actual safe cracking - and yes yes we get it insider information trade secrets blah blah blah."

I agree entirely, reads suspiciously like a New Yorker article, they should read such, out loud to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, they'll soon crack.

The future of the .NET “Standard” .. it'll be a continously moving target, making it near impossible to clone ;]

Of course that'll mean developers are for ever playing catch-up, rewriting code at more expence.

Assuming these UFOs are vessels from off-earth and want their presence to remain hidden then why do the space aliens persist in buzzing US air bases.
