In the old days you had to understand pointers and backups and efficient joins in your rdbms, the level of abstraction now is much higher.
What is the point of using a RDBMS if you never do queries?
Still many countries are >2 but they're falling rapidly too. Its surprising to me to see Bangladesh at 2.1 and India at 2.2.
Places like S Korea 1.1, Italy 1.3, Japan 1.4 you can do the math yourself. (1.3/2)^N means without immigration their populations nearly disappear in 100 years.
Russia 1.6, China 1.6, Thailand 1.5 takes maybe 12 generations to do the same.
What is wrong with you people? If you like your colleagues you can invite them to do stuff after you or they leave. They probably haven't invited you because they never got around to it either.
Most of the older generation people met through work is the only way to make friends.
No wonder loneliness is so rampant now.

Effectively it is. Government borrows money from the Fed and pays everyone a $1200 stimulus check.
Maybe its because I'm not smart enough? Given that 99% of software is not written in these languages perhaps you have to have a special gene to figure this stuff out. Or maybe its just people trying to be different or trying out things on the fringe.
I'm not sure what the answer is or if I should try harder.
Holy Sh*t. That means a: users can install software and b: they listen to some vendor telling them to install stuff. I'm shocked either still happens.
