Maybe I missed some opportunities but with my later experience and in my line of work I got pushed towards webapps and these days PowerBI. I can make those work but I feel that as a beginner with VB6 I could build forms faster than I can do

I started programming with Visual Basic 6 and still feel robbed that in the 25 years of programming after I never built a native GUI.

Nothing really. It led to some learning I would probably have done in any case.

You walk around and see how people live and that the difference between the worst neighborhoods is much smaller than the US or even France. Another data point is that you will also see relatively little homeless people (compared to San Fran

By omitting the rest of the story what remained 'on paper' became false. That was my point.

No, the statement is mostly false. The famous Economics Explained video is debunked. Of course, there is inequality and maybe it is too much but is not of a ridiculous level compared to the rest of the world.

You have never been to the Netherlands, have you? Because those statistics you hint at are misleading at best.

by Bootvis 4y ago
In the case of the Netherlands, interest rate caps are already in place and payday loans don't exist. Furthermore, it's relatively easy to get help (but not fun) when you're bankrupt and to get out of this bankruptcy with a c

In that case it seemed to me that the Stockfish devs tried to get the maximum compensation possible but wanted to get the dispute over with.

I use Edge on my work laptop and it’s fine. It has a vertical tabbar and some ad blocking built in which is nice. I still prefer Firefox but unfortunately I can’t on that thing.

I'm not in the position to set policy but if I had to give a reason: mentoring of juniors. This could be done over chat and webcam but it appears to me this is not a great fit for everybody.

It’s disingenuous to pretend to be an ordinary commenter while praising your own work.

That’s why ideally you use a pass phrase with you ssh key. Apps can still read it but not use it.

I guess it depends, materialising all the steps might be slow and you might need to do a refactor to get a CTE-based query. If you want just want to check a few (maybe changing) records because you expect problems there a final select with

Just use renv (successor of packrat). I had multiple versions of R working with multiple versions of Shiny running in production.

What makes you think they would do so quickly? Also, selling to quickly would at least temporarily depeg Tether and cost the creditors money.
