The Martian girl was / is my biggest complaint with the series. I almost gave up watching even though I love show because of that one character.

I think the irony is that all the freedom I used to see frontend people using is coming back to bite them and their mindset is slowly moving towards what backend people have been doing for a long time.
I wish Google Fi would support iOS devices.

So, still no sysadmin.
Not saying it has to be this way, just saying originally that serverless can save you money.
In fact, we are in the process of moving all our APIs over to AWS Lambda w/ ES and it's going to save us 25-50% of our EC2 costs.
We might be able too do the same since we are re-writing in another language, but without AWS Lambda, we would have never gotten that shot.
True serverless let's me offload that cost to AWS instead of having a sysadmin
Facebook vs having acquaintances?
Shouldn't we encourage others to have deeper, more meaningful relationships?
Sorry, I took the inverted view of this. If you are inviting me, most likely I am an acquaintance.
I don't throw parties, but I do like to hang out, so generally I just invite friends over. Just friends. When I do throw a party, it's mostly for someone else and so is definitely mostly acquaintances.
> Maybe I don't really have any close friends anymore, the definition gets muddy when most everyone you used to consider a close friend is now a 12 hour flight away and you never really get to see them anymore.
Don't take this the wrong way, but this is depressing. Some of my good friends I have actually never seen in real life. Distance doesn't mean you can't be friends. But I do make a point to talk with them once a week (we game together) unless someone is gone on a vacation or something like that. I remember a time when I didn't have any real friends and it put me adrift. I would highly recommend that you try and give them a call, or shoot them a text.
Acquaintances or good acquaintances.
I think this boils down to each person's definition of friends and friendship along with the amount of social interaction each person needs.
I need very little social interaction, so I tend to keep close friends and not much else. I know others who always like to be around someone. They don't care much who it is, and they generally have looser terms for friendship.
Also, face-to-face isn't required. Hop on discord or skype, or just send them a text message. If they are a close friend and you enjoy their company, you should try to keep the lines of communication open.
Texting is just as easy as facebook messaging. Or they can use discord, slack, etc etc. facebook isn't the only way to contact someone that is easy.
> But there are plenty of acquaintances, groups, events and whatnot that only get organized or contacted on facebook.
Maybe this is because I grew an introvert, but I can deal with being by myself as well as most of my friends. Going to events, etc isn't a must have. It's something that you can do if you want too. If I want to go hang out, then I will contact people. I will make it easy for them to say yes/no/no response. But I don't have to be apart of every group meeting, or every little discussion.
casual isn't friendship. My friends and I, hang out because we enjoy each others company and like to do things together. Not to invite people because we are lonely.
Plus, I don't mind being "left out" or "missing something". As I get older, it's just not worth the hassle
>No, we didn't, because 99% of our friends use the very useful party organizing app with integrated chat and picture sharing, Facebook.
My friends will actively invite me (I don't use facebook) to events if they want me there.
You don't have to host all your stuff on one server at all.
We had them for 3-4 seasons before they got stowed. When I stowed mine, the weave for the net between the first finger and thumb was coming undone and a few years later, the gloves were incredibly stiff and tore. We ended up pitching them (no longer played baseball and they were cheap) but when we did, I found my father's glove and it still worked (it was stored with the cheap ones). A little oil and it was back like new (or at least, new when I got it from him)
I used it when I was 10 and before that, I had a cheap glove.
It wasn't gross. It was broken in, comfortable and much easier to use than a new glove.
Also, a cheap glove doesn't last as long as you think.
