The fact I refused opiods for my pain was used against me, "If it's so bad why aren't you taking the pain medications?"
My lawyer told me that if I had taken them I likely would have gotten 50% more int he settlement. I don't regret it though. Addiction is a major problem in my family.
I'm not sure what your argument is otherwise. If there was a tool written in C or Rust to benchmark against then we could better argue which is better for the task. I don't think anyone said Python was "failing."
I'm really excited for the screen (not the notch). True blacks are where Apple has really suffered. I love reading at night on my iPad but it's a much worse experience than my Samsung tablet with an OLED screen. The move to OLED by Apple is really the biggest thing here that people aren't paying much attention too.
The name of the school means very little to me as a result of my experiences. Especially now that I interview a lot of people and have a really hard time seeing any differences between them based on education.
Hats off to the folks who got the great education at a discount. In a way they may have made the smarter decision.
Garbage in, garbage out as the saying goes. Proper diet will improve brain function and "self control".
From the paper:
"Resisting the temptation to eat the cookies presum- ably depleted an energy resource that could otherwise have been used to persist on the subsequent task"
To your point, the best way to diet then would be to avoid the temptation which would mean less use of glucose in the resisting of it.
There are a lot of cases but I'm at work and can't spend too much time collecting much. The gist however is that they are bound by Swiss speech laws, which are very ambiguous. "Inciting violence" is one such example, but of course, they can't see what you are supposedly inciting, so they suspend you.
It's abused fairly regularly in fact.
Secondly, its been years and you still can't store more than a single email address for a contact. This is so incredibly ridiculous that I have an extremely hard time understanding how they get away with charging what they do.
Lastly, the mobile app drives me nuts. I just can't get used to using it. You delete a message and a notification pop down drops from the top covering the next email so that you can't select it until the pop down notification goes away. This is deal breaking for me as if I have to go through 20 emails I have to sit and wait over and over and over again for this notification to go away. Yes, a message was deleted, I'm the one that deleted it, I don't need a notification telling me I did so. Infuriating to use.
In Agile this would be "fail fast". One of the few things I like about Agile personally.
I think this might be a myth. This is anecdotal but my experience is that the "rich kids" have just as many problems as the poor ones. They just receive less scrutiny unless they are public figures.
I grew up in a middle class area outside SV. The supposedly rich kids were often just as messed up as the poor ones. Its like the stereotypical "Preachers Kid."
I wouldn't dare diagnose anyone but I can tell you from experience this is often what it is. My father for example is a highly depressed person, if he stops for any length of time to dwell on things he falls deeply into a deep depression. As a result he's learned how to add additions to the house, do his own roofing, build decks, fix his own vehicles.
He has a 1500 sq ft barn filled to the brim with tools and tractors that he uses regularly. He was a software engineer before retirement and taught himself how to use all this stuff.
He jokes about all the money he's saved doing these things for himself but I helped him inventory all his things and he's roughly spent 2x as much on tools and toys than he would have had he just hired a contractor. That depressed him until I explained that the gain he got from doing it himself off set that. Honestly, the man isn't happy unless his hands are cut up and dirty.
