Of the pocket? I wish. Make it water proof and improve the camera and it could easily be the perfect phone for me. Whatever apps that don't work with the screen dimensions I just don't use. Every communication app I need works fin

I have a Titan Pocket and just love it. Unihertz has also been a fantastic company to interact with: I broke my titan, walked into the ocean, and they replaced it for a small fraction of the purchase cost. I only wish the camera was better.

Indeed, for instance: Canada is a rather diverse country and I think it would be safe to expect a different experience in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver; but an enormous difference between those and the rural areas of ea

So let's assume we mean C as a target, in the way one might target LLVM IR. What LLVM IR offers over C11 or C20 is a great deal more tools to describe to the compiler how one might engage in micro-optimizations. Ie, linkage[0], lifetim

No goalposts moved. It's the little things we take for granted that add up. The total cost of living isn't just room and board, it's the expenditures one makes to be happy living and working where they are.

What makes you think I didn't move during those 20y? I certainly did, I just stayed in New West. Renting a car and taking shuttle buses isn't free.

The models which can prove the progeny, and valid licensing, of their source assets will become increasingly valuable with time. This gives social networks an edge, which often have EULAs that allow the business to use uploaded content _at

I lived in New Westminster for 20y, and left in 2021. Free heat and hot water is standard in older buildings with central boilers and radiated heating. Otherwise, you're taking on the utilities payment. If there's a separate servi

That really is a YMMV outcome, then. Ie, Nanaimo was once a small town in central Vancouver island, with low rents and cheap housing. It's now one of the fastest growing cities in Canada[0] and has some of the highest rents and fastest

There isn't enough luxury stock across the whole of Metro Vancouver to meaningfully inflate the mean above the median. Looking at New Westminster, the cheapest I see now are all private rooms in someone's suite. Most units are wel

After Federal and Provincial income tax, EI and CPP premiums, your net pay at 100k CAD would be 68k in Qc, 75k in BC, and 74k in ON or AB. In BC and ON, you'd expect to spend 30k on rent; in AB and QC it'll be more like 21k. So af

And if you go farther south, salaries are triple what they are in Vancouver. Or much more, if you're senior or specialized. A word of advice: if you have employable skills in tech simply avoid Canada; and if you must travel here, then

Often we hold on too long because we cannot accept that there will never be a "normal", healthy future for the relationship. Letting go, and cutting them off can be an expression of acceptance. And it's important to accept th

Ah yes, let's punish and ostracize one of the largest silos for their attempts to be open to federation. Why, exactly?

In BC, Canada, there is no practical legal difference between marriage and long term cohabitation. Not getting married and living together is rather normal, and comes with the same risk of financial segmentation and alimony or child support

The most important innovation is behavioural: if we collectively stop travelling by ICE to a remote office, we can meaningfully and significantly reduce global emissions. WFH isn't just a pandemic response measure, it's a climate

That's really not true, and we have the largest experiment on collective behaviour in history to show this. COVID lockdowns had an _enormous_ impact on carbon emissions. Everyone should fight to WFH, even if you hate it, because the be
