I haven't read The Dead but I greatly enjoyed John Houston's film adaptation of it. I also never read Ulysses but the BBC produced a very listenable book at bedtime of it that I can remember listening to in the Summer of 1991 as the coup was underway in Russia (I wasn't there btw)
You need to ask what would you have done before condemning the German people. It's easier to believe the "safe" truth even if you have doubts about it than set yourself up for a knock on the door and a trip to a concentration camp as happened to very many Germans, both before and during the war. Most of us are cowards and wouldn't intervene if someone was being mugged on a public street. How much more courage does it take to stand up to a totalitarian regime.
You can still get duffers in such jobs as often a candidate is put forward who's agreeable all parties and as such can be the lowest common denominator who won't rock the boat.
I really wish one of the existing db technologies, Firebird, got a shot in the arm. It has both embedded and server modes which makes it unique as far as I know. Also the database is a single file which with firebirds "careful write" methodology remains consistent at all times so while you can make a backup at any time because it has MVCC, even a file copy of the database file with open transactions should not be corrupted. The installer size comes in under 10 MB. It's being actively improved, is open source with a very liberal licence but sadly it only gets a tiny fraction of the attention that SQLite, postgres etc receive
Very good. I thought I'd have no trouble but did. On windows , where there's loads of room, if you had fake and true to either side of the cards that would be helpful
Good channel I found it through my interest in making cider.
He made an apple scratter which works fairly well ( https://youtu.be/htT-gZ7ck64?t=147 ) but having done more research I think Claude Jolicoeur's (renowned cider maker) is better ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuEqqSgoGcQ ).
You can see how superior the latter is in the videos
which because of its "wedge angle" has no need for a hand plunger to force the apples between rotor and the stator
Develop domain knowledge of the motor car. Ever more outlandish scenarios to enable you to make money from software in an open source way.
Well I want to develop software for devices people already have, their PCs.
Nobody but some software developers and those who don't want to pay anything cares if the software is open source or not.
Proprietary software has worked well for business for decades. It's more likely to be maintained and extended because it's paid for.
In my market there's cut throat competition between various proprietary software companies. All have developed software to migrate each others' data.
Don't like software A then go with software B or C or D.
All software isn't line of business bespoke jobs for mega corp. Family business sometimes need software specific to their vertical market but can't afford to employ someone for a year to do it.
Great software developers deserve to make their fortune too and should be free to do so in a manner that suits both them and their (consenting adult) clients without name-calling from developers with different philosophy/orientation.
I used to be user of TuneIn radio for a year or two but grew to dislike it with its newer heavier updates that you could not avoid and the pressure to go professional or whatever it's called. Now I just have bookmarks to the BBC Sounds webpage and also to the couple of other stations I listen to sometimes. It cuts out the middle man and the risk of initially great sites like this going the way of TuneIn radio and ruining the user experience.
Earlier you said copyright is unethical and also why should you be paid extra for work you did in the past.
Architects have copyright to their work. They do sell the same plans over and over. No one can just copy their work without paying royalties or at least getting permission.
And there's nothing to stop someone else letting you write all the code and get paid for the bit you charge for, right.
In fact they could work full time on that while you have to spend time doing software updates/maintenance etc.
>If your ongoing work is not worth anything, why should you be paid extra for work you did in the past?
If you write a piece of software that took you a year to write but buyers are only willing to pay $500 for then do (A) live on $500 or (b) try to sell to many buyers including some in the future?
You seem to be saying (b) is out of the question but if it is who will write the software these people wish to buy?
Logic.ly or similar are great resources to use in conjunction with Charles Petzold's Code and the Nand to Tetris book. Together they pretty much enable you to understand through doing from the simplest circuit imaginable (power, switch and lightbulb) to building a fully working computer. I know because I used them in that way and found it doable whereas a lot of the computer/programming topics discussed here are way over my head.
