I have to force myself to look at the person I'm talking to because some people want eye contact. I find it distracting and I find it easier to focus on what we're talking about if I look aside from them.
Best coding use I've found for it so far are simple, very clearly defined, small apps or modules. As soon as any vagueness enters the picture you'll spend more time analyzing what it produced than is worth it. You might be able to use it as a starting point.
All of our apps eventually get real world stress tested against our giant test databases and load testing.
It seems to be best for plug-in, module type work with very clearly defined input and output and limited size.
Only large, northeastern, US cities have anything resembling real public transportation.
Consider the people who were killed here also.
The first fire truck arrived at 2:47 am. By then, the inferno had shattered the windows and plumed the air with smoke. The stench of burning wood filled the neighborhood. When firefighters subdued the blaze enough to get in the front door, they found the small body of a child. Djiby’s daughter Khadija had been two months shy of her second birthday. Farther in sprawled Djiby himself and his 23-year-old wife, Adja.
Next to Adja lay Djiby’s 25-year-old sister, Hassan. She’d only been living in the house for three months. Like Adja, she had dreamed of going back to school to study nursing. She died with her arms still wrapped around her 7-month-old daughter, Hawa Beye. Medical examiners would later conclude that all five died of smoke inhalation, airways coated in black soot, internal organs and muscles burnished “cherry-red” from the heat.
They happily gloss over the cost of running a successful society. First responders, public schools, roads, utilities, public works, etc all cost money. They can spend $$ on all of those with profiteering on top of them by privatizing everything. We already see how this has worked out for healthcare and elder care.
The revolution was spurred on by the Stamp Act which required a tax on everything from tea to playing cards. Not only was it a lack of representation but the whole situation that the colonies were expected to be part of England but weren't treated like it. Now in the Crown's defense England was spending a lot on defending the colonies but they still should've given them a seat in parliament. If they had done that we might still be part of the UK or ended up like Canada (taking longer to leave).
Good point on the phone. I have a pc mainly because...
- I'm older and I'm just used to it
- I'm an enthusiast and do some programming, specialized apps, etc that don't and won't work on phones
- I do pc gaming
- I build my own systems
- I play with linux too
If I just did browser, messaging, mobile apps/games and calls I'd just have a phone.
Civilians end up paying the price for land mines
Stare at my phone
I wish tools like ad-block would allow everything to download in the background but just block things like ads from rendering. That would prevent ad block detectors from knowing they are being blocked,
New England. Maybe with NY, you could have New New.
It worked wonderfully for the actual Balkans and the Caucasus region
CA should be split into two.
The Taliban have to justify their existence by doing something, like a new manager that makes everyone move their offices. They aren't doing anything of substance to improve the lot of their people so they do dumb shit like this.
