What’s your objection? I can’t tell if you believe (possibly with evidence/experience!) that French parents don’t do this, or that the approach is (for some reason) misguided.

You still see this using just about any major native UI toolkit. They may not be RAD-fast, but all kinds of elements and interactions that require custom and usually-janky JavaScript to implement on the Web are available “for free”. And act

Yeah, right through scraping the pan into a bechamel, this reads like about the most straightforward and obvious pan fried chicken method possible (aside from doing exactly this but skipping the sauce completely). I’m surprised it rates att

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply that, but my wording kinda does, you’re right. I just meant that if those elements aren’t, at least in the particular mix and form they take in these films, engaging for a given viewer, I can see how they might

They’re often light on plot and don’t foreground conflict. If you don’t enjoy drinking in a long animated “shot” (that’s another thing, they have relatively slow editing) with little movement or talking, don’t appreciate the attention to de

Most of the bad parts of nature—mud, the usual unpleasant insects, an ecology dominated by poison ivy and thorn plants of various sorts—without the good parts. Nice, long views, pretty hills or mountains, ocean or nice lakes, dramatic rock

A few largish “flyover country” cities don’t have many outdoor spaces within a half-day travel that aren’t ugly and generally unpleasant. Wading in a stream? Disgusting mud up to your knees, far deeper than the water was, and an odor that w

Never lived somewhere with a really bad outdoors situation, I take it? To use your analogy, it’s more like living in a city where the most-attractive person once came in 3rd in an ugliness competition, and also everyone has unpleasant per

Yeah, we take the kids to parks and stuff, maybe some really-lame like 30 minute trails, but hiking? Camping? Ew, no. Not around here.

Nature’s boring enough that it’s not really worth the downsides (bugs, travel for most people, humidity/ice/whatever) to go out and “enjoy” it in large stretches of the country. There are cities where the nicest outdoor areas in 2

We don’t, though. See the generational stats in the article. Still living with family at age 22 appears to be more common than not, back to and including the “Boomers”.

Basically every service of any size is terminating SSL before the request gets to the “real” recipient, anyway. They’d do it with or without a WAF. CDN, load-balancing, centralized routing, you’re doing it somewhere whether or not a WAF i

It’s used in a less-technical sense all the time in business, and that usage doesn’t seem to cause problems. [edit] example: using the term ROI where the “investment” is COGS is downright common. [edit edit] I’ve verified my observation t

Disable ads, don’t forget to click “no, do not spy on me”, disable this crap, disable snap… Doesn’t take much of that before it’s easier to just use a different distro.

It’s for-sure at least close . To the meaning, anyway. (You’re right that putting it through the proper formula, the figure that comes out is more like a 2x return—I was a bit hasty. The total value is 3x, not what Google sees)

I think they’re connected. It’s really hard to do much with a Sunday other than kill time, because the work week follows it (and the day before is usually chewed up, at least largely if not entirely, with necessary but unpaid work).
