here's my question. I just want some simple code that does a websocket thing - the actual play framework documentation, i think, is bad.
I've used SO for years, but lately i've begun to notice that I don't use it so much - i used to like asking questions for the issues i faced, but now i don't g...
By this, I don't mean "robotic", I mean machine-like describing someone who is precise, resolute, and stoic. For describing something like, say, an army. This is my first question, so I don't know how to phrase this.
What's the word that refers to what a spark does as it is forming? "Energizing"? "Igniting"? What I'm looking for is akin to a fire "starting" or "igniting", but the word for what occurs as a spark comes to be.
McConnell, Sean McCormack, Francis McCormick, Joseph MacDonald, Roy MacGregor, Hamish Marshall, Andrew Marshall, Charles Marshall, George Marshall, John Marshall, Keith
Why are names that begin with 'Mc' first in order over names that begin with 'Ma'?
For example,
in references sections in books, we see that "McGann, Anthony" is first and "Maddox, Graham" is second.
Amazon, now that it is bought Whole foods, does just-in-time food service and when they deliver, they also change diapers and take out other refuse from the previous delivery
> Abnormal psychology has studied egosyntonic and egodystonic concepts in some detail. Many personality disorders are egosyntonic, which makes their treatment difficult as the patients may not perceive anything wrong and view their perceptions and behavior as reasonable and appropriate. For example, a person with narcissistic personality disorder has an excessively positive self-regard and rejects suggestions that challenges this viewpoint.
In psychoanalysis, egosyntonic refers to the behaviors, values, and feelings that are in harmony with or acceptable to the needs and goals of the ego, or consistent with one's ideal self-image. Egodystonic (or ego alien) is the opposite, referring to thoughts and behaviors (dreams, compulsions, desires, etc.) that are in conflict, or dissonant, with the needs and goals of the ego, or, further, in conflict with a person's ideal self-image.

@Robusto Some multiple personality disorders pop out of other neuroses that the subconscious realizes is non-productive and so compartmentalizes it. So one personality, which tries to keep control, is pretty reserved, but sometimes the narcissist asshole gets out to play and ruins everything.
@Robusto yes that's annoying in trying to understand politics because it really depends on lots of very different personalities. it's hard enough to keep track of one.
@Cerberus I didn't intend to propose it as a vetted report on Churchill's life, as I'm not qualified to do that regarding all the details. And yes, many "war crimes" will take on a new significance when analysed in fuller context, as even something like the A-bombing of Japan does.
But I'm more angry at the one-sidedness of the pop-history accounts churned out by the Western propaganda machines (such as Hollywood), because it's power glorifying and celebrating and aggrandizing itself onward.
Is there a formal word or a phrase in English language for something that exists or happens without one's desire? Basically, whether I like it or not, it exists.
Please do not answer, Whether I like it or not.
I'm trying to give a title to a fictional character, but I can't find the right word. He's a godlike being whose main goal is to return everything to its most natural state. For example he would look at a human city and want the plants to reclaim it (similar to the buildings in "The Last of Us" o...
@Færd Yes, Tharoor seems to be on some kind of anti-British tear. I'm not sure what his agenda is - maybe he just means what he says. On the plus side, he doesn't belong to the BJP.
Don't get me wrong - I think anti-British publicity, particularly in India, is generally good. Improving awareness of colonialism and all that.
Though none of that should be news to educated Indians.
@Cerberus Which book is that?
It never ceases to impress me that the British and the American establishment constantly portray themselves as the "good guys", and don't have the rest of the world rolling around in laughter. Just shows the power of propaganda. And the ignorance of history.
And all that constant talk about how they saved the word from the Nazis. Give it a break already. What we needed was someone to save the world from the Europeans - particularly the British. Unfortunately saviors were in short supply.
@Cerberus The Greek thing is quite well documented - meaning the British (and Americans) destroying the anti-Fascist Greek resistance. And they did similar things in other countries too, I believe. I remember having a brief conversation with @terdon about this some time back.
He said he knew one of the people the article quoted - a family friend or something. Though I forget what the article was. Some British periodical. Possibly the Guardian.
@FaheemMitha Their destruction of, or more accurately, I believe, their support of the right wing guerrillas against the left wing ones during the Greek civil war that followed WWII is indeed well documented. However, the atrocities committed by the guerrillas (on both sides) against each other were absolutely horrible. The Greeks were quite capable of killing each other without the help of any external aids, and did so with great gusto.
The article @Cerberus posted article makes a very good case about how the specific incident mentioned, the claim that the British army had mowed down the demonstrators waiting to welcome them is actually false.
This is not to say any of the hands involved are free of blood, only that the specific incident was misreported by the original publication
If a person has multiple items carried with them, how can these items be referred as one thing?

How would you call this kind of lexical errors, when two words of a phrase communicate generally similar meaning?
fluid liquid
sunny sun
white bleach
decorative ornament
sorrowful misery
Re great gusto, consider the admirable cooperativeness with which India and Pakistan are constantly quarreling over nothing. It must gladden the hearts of any representatives of Imperial Britain, if any of them are left.
Random aside: interesting, I didn't know India's last Viceroy was blown up by an IRA bomb.
@FaheemMitha No, haven't had the chance to. I haven't seen him in years. He's the father of my first serious girlfriend with whom I'm still in touch, but don't see very often any more.

Is there a specific word for people who like to purchase lots of things?
For instance, let's say someone has an Iphone 7, but as soon as the Iphone 8 is released, he buys it, even if he doesn't need it at all. In fact, I am looking for a word with a financial perspective, like people who really e...
