Why were you trying to port it to JS?

Nice. I think I left around the time gchat dropped XMPP support. Is google chat supported to any extent these days?

Just as good on Windows, honestly. I miss that little bird.

I think the way to do it is to notify her estate and let them pursue it or not. But I'm really just here to say how I'm happy to pay her estate and publishers and everyone else should too.

They're present in almost all of her work.

As another comment points out, Le Guin herself does not call this a translation, so we shouldn't misrepresent it (although it might be my favorite English version).

However, it's not in the public domain. Her work deserves all the attention it can get, but I'd rather not see it pirated wholesale.

1. Where is "here"?

2. What kind of paint prevents erosion?

His site has the same resolution, it's just scaled down on the page: https://sashamaps.net/images/roman_roads_original.png

Why would they?

I think their point is this would help solve the principal agent problem so consumers can shop for service.

I think it's best to use Occam's razor on that one. But it would be great for an episode of Stargate.

three?

What's Stack Overflow deceiving us about?

Reminds me more of the blind men and the elephant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant

Not at all. I'd say the motivation for talking things through lies on a spectrum between brainstorming and bitching, and people have a need for both, just be aware of which one you're doing. A complaint can be stoic.

> Of course no school would do that because it would be a nightmare.

What do you mean by this?

Outdoor billboards...?

> The US does have one huge advantage the other countries don't though.

What's that?

Sorry but what is "Hyundai money"? Like, the cost of a Hyundai?

I'm curious about what's fueling your hatred of C++. In my experience it depends heavily on how it's being used. Modern C++ used competently can get you really far, but I don't know how easy it is to find an environment like that these days, considering the amount of garbage code you can find written in it.

Would you mind elaborating or giving a source for that?

Don't be so sure. Einstein, in spite of all his achievements, was human. He made mistakes and misunderstood some things. Overall he understood physics more deeply that any of his time, but from his point of view maybe it came so naturally that he never felt he had totally "earned" his recognition. That said, he was known for humility, but that doesn't mean it was disingenuous.

Isn't that the point of "impostor syndrome"? No matter where you stand, your measurement of your ability is subjective to whatever standards you personally hold, which may be different from an objective assessment? And maybe there is no true objectivity? Maybe it's all... relative?

It's Mangeletti.

That sounds like the typical Japanese salaryman lifestyle, from what I've heard...

I wonder, could LEDs be used to provide lighting that's both aesthetically more pleasing and more energy-efficient?

The only thing to discourage it would be the better sense of the people in the community. Presumably there are better ways to stop Starbucks than throwing bricks. You have to convince enough people that the place needs to be shut down, then go in and confiscate the coffee beans.

Why is it popular in banking?

Squats and deadlifts (and similar compound exercises) are best for building back and core strength. Stretches, especially yoga, can help expand tight chest muscles.

Swimming is good for building endurance and working the whole body.

Not sure how the grades work there, how can unweighted GPA be above 4.0? At my HS, APs were weighted (to 4.5) but there was no way to go above 4.0 without that.

Oh I'm with you. I don't mean to say it's useless, I suppose I was just hoping for more based on the title.

School provides you with skills and credentials, and marks are just to measure a baseline of confidence and motivation. Performing well technically won't necessarily be enough to satisfy you, your peers, or your bosses.

I think school gives the illusion of direction. Tying your mental well-being too tightly to your performance is precarious. In a way, all guarantees are lies that the lessons of living eventually correct.
