My Kindle says “2GB gratis de 3GB” (in Spanish) which doesn’t make any sense, instead it should say “2GB libres de 3GB” (2GB free of 3GB). Free can be translated to either “libre” or “gratis”, libre is as in freedom, gratis is free as in be

I would recommend reading “Atomic habits” it’s a small and easy book to read. It has a lot of “aha” moments were stuff you already know click in your mind on how to develop good habits and remove bad habits, it provides good guidance.

It’s weird, I’ve heard that definition before. But it has never clicked in my mind. I feel melancholy in a different way. I’m lucky though, I had a happy childhood and I have a happy adult life too, I also haven’t lost too many relatives&#x

It took me too much time to find the actual content, I was not sure if I was looking at an ad or not, when I finally found the actual article my motivation was gone, no good content could be inside that awful page.

Oh man, those low battery alerts really tempt me to jailbreak my phone.

Sounds reasonable, something similar happened in Hispanic America, SMS was really expensive, so as soon as WhatsApp showed up everyone jumped to it. Actually I’ll bet WhatsApp was the main motivation to get a smartphone during those years.

It’s also great for testing concepts or libraries, “what happens if I call this object like this or like that?” I used to use LINQPad for that, now I don’t need to, VS Code and this new feature is enough!

Honest question, what does stop you from simply not using DI in .NET?

Legit question as a non Indian. Is there other ways to identify castes other than names? Probably accents? physiognomy? place of birth?

Here’s another one from my city in a semi desert area in northern Mexico (take a look at the kind of trees that grow around here for comparison). https://goo.gl/maps/J76RJAaMQcaCdoWD6

It also included great multimedia (images, audio, video, animations). I remember myself spending hours watching all kinds of physics animations.

Agree, I would add, make vocals consistent, ‘a’,‘e’,‘i’,’o’,’u’ should only have one sound per each letter for every case, if we need more vocal sounds then use different characters.

That’s amazing, I’m not a native English speaker and that sounds exactly like when you are listening to a song in English but you are not understanding the lyric.

I can relate to that, I would say 50% of mine survive, I usually stop just before clicking the submit button. Anyways you have your reasons and I respect that.

That’s the exact reason I (as a programmer) want to start doing some wood work, there’s something about creating tangible stuff that web programming just doesn’t fulfill. You talk about the table saw as a complement. I thought it was a must

This is anecdotal of course. But I was an Android user since the first Galaxy S until the Galaxy S7 (with Nexus and some others in between). I don’t know if this is still the case but every single time I had one of the big updates my phon

Thank you for mentioning AirPods! I was so excited to buy them after a ton of reviews saying they just worked. They said the days of fighting with Bluetooth audio were gone. I believed them, then reality showed up. My Mac sometimes unpairs

It seems like communication is missing in both cases. It is easy to try to guess the other’s person motivations, but it’s actually hard to be 100% correct, and even if we’re 100% correct, who says our motivation is more valid than the other

Agree, but that’s better than nothing. I spent several months working with a remote team. I didn’t really know my teammates for six lonely months, they were just names in a screen, until we started scheduling social meetings. Of course it’s

I can think of some readability benefits of using ‘this’. But the author didn’t give further details on why he didn’t like it. Is it just a matter of taste?

I don’t think the problem is people getting offended. But sometimes a name can sound funny and it will be difficult for people taking it seriously. For example WebOS in Spanish sounds like “huevos” (eggs) and huevos it’s another way to say

I think C.S. Lewis does a good job explaining what forgiveness really means: “For a good many people imagine that forgiving your enemies means making out that they are really not such bad fellows after all, when it is quite plain that they

Probably it’s a perspective issue, but galaxies look relatively close to each other, is that the case? I mean they look relatively close compared to their size, in contrast our solar system’s bodies are really far away from each other (of c

Here in Mexico we have to copy the American narco model. Drugs crossing the border don’t just appear automatically in the consumer’s hands, right? So how do American narcos transport their drugs inside the US? How do they transport the mone
