I’ve always had an excellent vision both near and far, except for one flaw that I can’t distinguish some shades between green and blue. All the turquoise colors give me a strange feeling of not knowing if it’s green and blue. When I was younger I used to ask if it was green or blue and would only be satisfied once someone told me which one it is. Over the years, I’ve learned to recognize the feeling and attach turquoise to it, but it’s still slightly annoying for my brain. I know it’s selfish of me, but I hope that driving won’t require the ability to distinguish turquoise well… I never thought that this minor impairment could one day be a problem.
My parent house is along the Tour de France route, but despite that I've never heard of the existence of the women's Tour de France. It might be one of the many reasons why winners of this tournament win less money overall.
Wait until they hear about France, where factory produced bread is abhorred and where there are still plenty of bakers doing their bread by hand. Moreover, the baguette costs and tastes the same no matter how rich or poor you are.
It's not like there's a better bread out there that most people don't have access to because they aren't rich enough.
For me, what works best is to kickstart the day by checking something out of my todo list. Every morning, I choose a small task which shouldn't take more than 2 hours to complete, trying to have something to show for. The rest of the day using flows naturally afterward.
Seems that Apple is just following, with much delay, the law of People's Republic of China. I don't understand why some people think companies should be above the law.
To me, all code is debt so long as it requires maintenance. It will be read and modified hundred of times after being initially written hence why you want to have as few as possible. Code also need to be hosted on servers somewhere and that's a sort of debt too since you now are forced to maintain the infrastructure, keep the software updated, ensure it's always running. However, you have to accept a certain amount of debt otherwise you will never be able to launch anything. Everytime you can invest some time to reduce maintenance later down the road, it's like getting a lower rate on your debt. However no matter how hard you'll try, if the project is used it'll require love, time and hard work to keep it going. Then comes a time where either the project fails and you take it down (and stop paying any debt) or, if you're lucky, the balance between ongoing cost and benefits start to even out and you're finally out of the woods.
Each time I see a patent related article on Hacker News, I'm thankful that software patents don't exist in Europe. That's at least one thing we got right.
