My girlfriend and I have long switched between Apple Maps and Google Maps. Google Maps' terrible UX has become a joke now. It mentions irrelevant details (e.g. emphasis on compass directions, which no modern person relies on) and uses

It’s a mishmash of things and I’m only scratching the surface, sorry can’t give a coherent answer. But some books (Mere Christianity, The Case for Christ, The Believing Scientist, stuff by Garry Habermas, etc.), Wikipedia, the Bible (especi

What is the typical relative balance on your account? Does $7m mean 7 million USD? Over what period of time?

Last sentence covers it well: > Another way to say this is that you should avoid type parameters until you notice that you are about the write the exact same code multiple times. (The above will make design pattern astronauts shudder)

Equal opportunity (not equal outcome) is good. What I'm worried about is that this correlates with the wider societal trend of positive discrimination in favor of women (hence discrimination against men) and dismissal of men and their
