(I haven’t clicked or read the article as it’s Facebook and I usually don’t open FB links out of principle.) My granny, born circa 1920, deceased in 1995, grew up uneducated in a peasant third world country. My dad was educated and was som

No. For two reasons: 1. The frequency and number of posts is data in itself about the overall sentiments of this pandemic not only in the general public but also within our smaller subset of technologists. (I want to know whether it is hot

That’s always the problem with these forms of obliquitous advice - they are paradoxical. I’m not saying they don’t work or are necessarily to be dismissed because they seem practically impossible because they are on the surface self-limitin

Thank you for posting. Staggering wake up call to always see how data presented is actually calculated. There is something about the simple percentage figure that seems so easy to confuse people - even experts. Take the concept of interest

Correct. I myself used "eclipse's" parent (Visual Age) in the early days but the point I was making was not so much that "drag and drop" was missing - it was just too cumbersome and difficult even in that! In VB6, i

>>VB6 was one nice thing - build 'a program' as you understand them in Windows. Why the fuck is it so hard nowadays? VS isn't intuitive - it's a firehouse of information and I feel like you need training to use it.

Perfect, thank you so much Dr Karl! Wow what a multitude of divergence we are seeing unfolding in such a short space of time. Are you involved in this website/data? If so, can you tell us if this rate of mutation is normal?

When you say "roll their own auth", are you implying "designing from scratch their own method or idea of authentication"? Or are you implying using existing libraries or services instead of rolling out your own?

Exactly how does one take this body of scientific knowledge and act on it?

Wow, what is the source of this outrageous claim?? If anything, African states are going to be hit the hardest. South Africa for example, a country I am in, has the world's highest HIV cases. Pneumonia is a death sentence for HIV patie

Amazing achievement. How long did it take you to do each?
