When I was a kid, we moved a lot. So I had to make new friends every year or two. And I did. But did this help me with making friends as an adult? Apparently nope . How come there's a million dating apps but no "friend finding

Yeah I think the jump from DOS to Windows, procedural to event-driven, lite framework to rich framework, and barely-C++ to very-C++ was just too much for me to tackle at the same time. Truthfully I first dipped my toes into Windows developm

America [and other countries] sent most of its manufacturing overseas for short-term economic gain, ignoring the damage all those lost jobs would eventually cause. So I'm not surprised at all that the same thing is happening to some wh
