"my generic Makefile is probably easier to read and understand than any standard that you have probably achieved. "

If you have the need to state this when it's not relevant, then I highly doubt you have readable Makefiles ;)

You peeps don't have easy "hey could you pay this amount" apps? Even if the app doesn't have split billing you can still transfer money afterwards

The first game was rough but very enjoyable, And I actually liked the second one a lot as well. (even have the special edition with the coin/maps/booklets and all that jazz)

Still haven't finished the main story of the third game tough...

Not to me, powershell is a pain to write and read with my heavy dyslexia. But again, this is personal.

Pretty sure there are other dyslectics who will find that it helps them. So I guess this all depends on person to person

The issue I have with powershell is the extreem verbosity.

But that's just a personal thing and not something that I can realy blame the language.

I'm almost with you on this one.

Virtualization and containers are still very very finicky on wsl.

But it's 95% of the way there. And I don't mind using it.

On the flip side, all these electron apps make it so lots of stuff just works on Linux as well.

No OP, but I use it sometimes because it seems to me to have a "small" core of functionality. Which made it easy for me to pickup.

It's also pretty fast.

Downside is that array's start at 1 (not suchs a big deal once you're used to it)

Phone yes, smartwatches I'm not so sure about. But then again I don't see a lot of people with smartwatches in general.

But if I do then often these are fitbits/applewatches. regardless of the phone they own.

Could you please elaborate? I personally can't see how the acquisition and cheating are connected

wait...

A stand, chain lube + cleaner, tubes+tube patch kit, chain brush, floor pump, chain drive tool, cable cutter and a set or two of wrenches/screwdrivers cost you more then a 200/300 euro switch plus at least one 60 euro game?

And you bought these? You didn't inherit all this stuff from your grandparents together with an "Oma fiets" or two when you born?

jokes aside, I do imagine that you might have more specialized tools. specially if you're working with some of the older sport bicycles that need love.

> "are being treated as important books that should be in school libraries and accessible to fourteen year olds."

Why would these books not be important? Because reading the reviews it's seems that the book is (and I quote) "great resource for those who identify as nonbinary or asexual"

So yeah... this book not being important and > "Girls Who Code" is JUST a book that aims to introduce women to software development." IS just a figment of your imagination.

While yes every library has limited space this article seems to clearly state this is regarding banning the book.

Regarding your son, I don't agree with not allowing boys to participate. (Which I doubt by the way) BUT I do understand why this could happen.

Regardless. The situation with your son doesn't add anything to the discussion about the book being banned

Meh.... 18 hours vs 18 days of battery life and an ridiculous price gap. I think that's all that needs to be said.

Meh.... While the article could be right it is also not presenting anything new.

Let's see, only time will tell.

I just stop going halfway my Bachelor and basically only have "cool" dreams about school (if at all).

So you might be on to something.

contradiction: An inconsistency or discrepancy.

"What makes you as a human more valuable than other animals is your ability to communicate. As if your have everything muted you are making yourself less valuable."

That's a nice hypothesis. do you happen to have some research or such regarding this. that could be a nice read :)

And it seems you agree with the original intent of my message. There is a time a place for being focused/left alone. And it's not up to a piece of software (or other humans) to decide this on a permanent basis.

also regarding "You will get less done in total, but what you do get done is so much more valuable to humans as a whole that it is worth the loss of focus."

It's funny because I have the opposite experience. Guess everybody is different in this regard.

Wait wüt....

Regardless of software, I decide when I'm available to be contacted... not somebody else.

I already mute all notifications/ringtones on the phone when I want to focus, why should we also start doing this on computers?

"I'm not value judging this, I'm just trying to determine if it's worth reacting to"

Sorry... but some nice contradiction you have there. I think your "algorithm" might be a bit off ;)

Who are you to decide what is "to any meaningful degree" for others?

"In some cities it’s common to eat out at restaurants every day (eg Shanghai)"

I didn't think of this... so thanks! Going to checkout a bit how others indeed handle the work social life.

I agree that sometimes the drinking is a bit excessive, But I would be sad if pubs disappear and going our becomes more static.

The issue with a "proper" dinner in a restaurant is that (next to it often being to much food which lead to other issues) it feels more like a chore/lethargic/static. specially if done multiply times a week.

While going to a pub you can play a game of cards/pool/darts, walk around and more easily talk to a new bloke you have never seen before.

My point is, (regardless of the drinking) going to a pub is over all more social then sitting in a restaurant.
