That "if" makes me understand that spending all day in the sun is not something you normally do. I've been told by others who live in Texas that you can build up tolerance and spend all day in the sun. Naturally darker skin

Not only where the problematic design decisions, but large numbers of people said for years "nobody will never need/want that anyway so stop talking about it". That is they didn't even attempt to talk about trade offs,

But that doesn't give me data... I do try to get my daily exercise. However it is still interesting to know how many steps I've taken. (sometimes my daily exercise is bike or swimming which are obviously not steps)

Black people who spend all their time indoors or covered up will get sunburned if they go outside. If that black person gradually increases their sun exposure they can (in a few weeks) reach the point where they can be outside without suns

I've been outside at lots of different latitudes. I don't live in Stockholm, but I've been there.

Unless you are albino (which is a large set of other problems) being in the sun all day will develop enough of a tan that you won't sunburn. There might be a problem in spring, but by summer time most people will have spent enough tim

From what I can tell health is about both quantity and quality. 30 minutes of exercise and sitting is not good for health. That is why 10,000 steps per day is so often a goal - I can do a few thousand steps in the 30 minutes of exercise, bu

My phone is sitting on my desk now connected to a charger - meaning any pacing I'm doing at the moment it not tracked. When I cook I often set my phone on the counter with the recipe - again while I'm moving all over. I often go

Close enough. If I ever got such a check it would be professionally framed and hung on my wall. As would most people reading this.

I don't believe the efficient market hypothesis. However even if you do, new information has arrived and that will affect the price.

It has been a few years since I last read the report. Hardware interlocks is likely what I remembered as fuses.

The alarms were safety hardware interlocks. Nobody asked why and found the UI bugs that was causing this. The hardware interlocks were removed because the system had been working safely for so long. This was really feedback - nobody info

Smart pointers somewhat existed. Without move they were vastly less powerful. (You could have a generic shared pointer without move, but unique pointer has useful properties that you cannot get without move) Non-generic smart pointers

Reflection is likely useful for a lot of things, but I agree serialization need a better framework.

Much has changed for me since I used smart pointers where possible - which is the vast majority of the time. I am currently telling somebody you can't change a QString to a C string even though the C string probably won't overflow

What used to be a super computing center now fits in my pocket and runs on batteries. I haven't tried, but I'm reasonably sure my phone can emulate a Cray-1 at faster than the original.

Sometimes. Larger companies will not do that since it makes the places that sell most of their things mad to have to compete with the manufacture. (or sometimes they intentionally price such that others can undercut them). Mostly I don&#x2

Last I checked the OOM killer was configurable. However the process of configuring it was so convoluted I doubt anyone has successfully done it.

You so completely lost my point that I can't even figure out how you got to your reply from mine (after reading both again), much less how to get you back on track. I know I'm not the best writer, but I didn't think I'm

Right vs left wing is a silly idea. What does my position on health care have to do with my position on defense? Now consider the above question, but substitution any two of the thousands of different things the government does. At best

It isn't unusual for an alcoholic to quit drinking for real. But the rate of failing is high enough that unless they are getting serious help in quitting you should assume failure.

You could exploit it yourself, but only if you have several million to invest, less than that and it isn't worth the bother for the electric company to talk to you. Even at ten million invested you really need to have this is round one

Switching the whole house is cheap compared to the generator or battery needed to run everything in the house. Of you can't run everything then you may as well have nothing. The important things need a lot of power.

A court is needed for cover since it is possible that sometimes else's data will be seen or even corrupted in the process. This way they can say they were doing what the court asked for. That is legal cover for everyone to do what they

While the facts are not wrong, they are not compelling as a description of things that were building for years before the currency changes. Iraq/Venezuela were both collecting US ire for decades before the currency attempts. (Not sup

High bond yields are a sign of low trust - if you trust a currency will be stable you need less yield to risk investing in it.
