The USGS has a long history of publishing topographic maps of the US. These maps are online here: https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/topoexplorer/index.html The fascinating part of this is that the website can overlay map

Without implying anything about the source of covid, let me make an observation. Covid19 is a perfect experiment to determine what might happen if someone were to release a devastating biological weapon. From this test case someone contemp

You should have a QuickStart. Use the ReadMe to explain what the QuickStart does. Then, use the QuickStart as a skeleton on which to elaborate things not covered.

I bought a surplus NATO mine detector two years ago for $300 delivered. Online one can buy various surplus military mine detectors for $200-$300. Before buying these you need to know how well they detect the specific mines used in Ukraine

Living in Mexico can be a good deal. If it worries you, setting up a trust is not that big an issue. It's routine and your agent usually handles it. I do pay about $500 a year for my trust, but my property tax is only about $85 a ye

Strange. I've been programming for over 50 years. I recently finished a 13,000 line Macintosh program. I don't have a clue about much of what you list (I wish I did!). I believe the matter of what a programmer is (or software

You are in a trap. Years can slip by without you noticing it. 5 years. 10 years. ? It happened to me. About the only way out that I know is to quit your job and move somewhere else. The life you describe is unsustainable.

Republican king makers are considering backing Schwartzeneggler in the same way that Ronald Regan was backed. The intent is to counter Trump. Are the democrats going to back Oprah Winfrey to counter him? Converting popular actors into po

I've been programming for 54 years. I still enjoy it. I do admit that the programs eventual use is critical to maintaining my interest. For me it is hard to separate the two.

It's a poor substitute, but it's what I have done: Devise a project that excites you, and submerge yourself in it. Do be aware that the years will pass by far more rapidly than you expect. It's temporizing, but sometimes yo

I do hope these engineers understand the physics and chemistry of injecting pressurized hot water into the earth. This is known to release stresses triggering earthquakes, and the water will pick up salts which will accumulate. These salt

Apple may be giving people "what they want", but the source of its tremendous impact was always knowing ahead of time what people would want if someone told them they could have it. If Apple is giving people "what they want,&

Putin is a autocrat. All he has to do is withdraw and declare some minor event a huge victory, and his propaganda machine will sell it. He doesn't care what the world thinks. Just his country.

I've been programming for 54 years. Languages come and go in a career. For me, each new language was an enthralling experience, an adventure. Mostly I think this was because each new language came with some valuable new insight in ho

A successful ground and air attack would leave Ukrainian cities in ruin. If Putin is actually bluffing and positioning himself for a negotiated ceasefire, the potential devastation of Ukrainian cities is a thing of value in those negotiatio

Look at the book Drawing Space, Form, and Expression by Entice and Peters. Its ideas are extremely deep and insightful. Some nice practical advise too. It's not for everyone, though.

The idea of reddit building competent software is hard to take seriously. I am appalled every time I try to buy an ad. Those folks have no idea what they are doing. Rank amateurs.

I find that using very elaborate multi-word camel-case variable names is a huge help in avoiding errors in reasoning and in debugging. The compiler doesn't care. It doesn't effect the compiled code. It's painless and usefu
