The type of Apps I make can't even be done in a browser in the first place.

Nuclear is expensive because of design costs and regulations. Mass production would greatly lower prices. The fact is when I was a nuclear power plant operator the same WOG value you could buy at Home Depot for 10 dollars costs 300 dollars with all the certifications and requirements for safety need in a nuclear plant.

DARPA is hardening our infrastructure. They just did a bunch of anti drone experiments in San Diego it was in the news. There were even some UFO articles written about it.

Some items wear out fast. Climbing shoes have to be replaced or at least resoled yearly.

This is how Military promotions work for officers. No one wants to work smaller projects because performance is measured by "Led X number of troops". I see it as a contractor.

That's how I got Koltin going at my job before it was official with Google.

Dumas had a ghost writer or writers

this is unfortunately true. I meet one too many people who had the certifications for a job but not the skills when I worked as a government scientist. Some people can pass any test you throw at them without retaining or learning a thing.

Android development is a mess. Much of the documentation and resources you will find will be outdated. Last time I looked at the code labs from Google many where already deprecated. The Udacity courses are more current than the offical documentation. I'd recommend Programming Kotlin https://pragprog.com/book/vskotlin/programming-kotlin by Venkat Subramaniam if you don't know Kotlin. It's honestly a bad time to learn Android as the ecosystem is in flux with Jetpack and Kotlin and Android X changing everything up.

Electrical engineers write plenty of C and assembly where I work.

Seems like a good way to legally discriminate against the poor and minorities. /s

Sorry, Android doesn't have all of Java 8 and it's mostly Kotlin now.

MVI is the latest evolution of MVVM. It's basically MVVM with Reactive programming.

You guys are having a martian conversation for those of us who live in the States. Not driving is only an option in a handful of cities like NYC.

I work in defense contracting and version control is either non existent or dated at most companies. I've gotten very good at selling git to management.

Yes I don't see how making more money available is gonna cause prices to go down. Isn't it simple supply and demand? Now there is more money that housing investors and realtors can grab.

When was it ever okay to discuss politics at work?

3-5 emails a day is nothing special. Recruiters spam your inbox and phone no matter where you live.

I don't think she really has done enough to deserve it. To me it seems like it is forced and just pushed to lend creditably to an obvious political puppet. The poor girl is being used and obvious is abused by her parents.

If you think that is scary look at who owns our defense industries now that the pre Clinton era small contractors were forced to merge.

They did such a great job with Epstein too. Letting him go free for all those years and protecting him and then he suddenly dies when he is gonna name people in Government and the Royal family.

Peter Thiel is a log cabin conservative. He was outed by Gawkier and funded the Hogan lawsuit to get justice for it.

We have politicians now saying they want to ban private health insurance.

I wonder how this effects companies like Google which contract out most of their workforce.

The UK downsized their Navy so much that they cannot even keep their oil tankers safe from Iran.

Go and Crystal are slower than Java which has a much better ecosystem.
