I love the Calligra user interface compared to Microsoft Office or LibreOffice. It feels like it exposes features and information well in the way the best KDE apps always have.

I have been really puzzled by this situation and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since last night. I spent a long time chatting with an LLM and reading articles published by community college instructors and university facu

Just had my natural lenses removed and a standard monofocal lens put in in each eye. But I've had only a marginal improvement in visual acuity and none in color vision. Before my surgery my cataracts weren't even detectable in my

I'm unfortunately not a candidate for multifocal intraocular lenses due to other problems with my eyes, otherwise I would have gone with them for the first surgery. Multifocal contacts are probably not a good long-term fit for those sa

I'm under 40, recently had cataract surgery to address mild cararacts, and deeply regret that choice. I strongly feel I lost more than I gained, and now need to carry multiple pairs of glasses every time I go out to engage many common

tl;dr: remedial classes are good and some schools are good at them. Admissions question aside, it's not a bad idea to get good at them. I attended community college in my hometown, as well as a university elsewhere, and eventually comp

I had a professor who made sure to give an early exam before the no-penalty drop date, which helps a lot of that test's outcome is predictive of success in the rest of the class. Then people just drop out early if they're going to

If the shipped package.json and package-lock.json are actually incompatible/incorrect, something like `npm install` is what you need to reconcile them. But that's definitely a weird situation I would rather investigate myself than

I don't think the logo choice is a coincidence, either; it's just that the ordering is different.

Good point. Really graceful way to transition, and it definitely offsets the loss. Maybe in some ways it'll end up being a net gain, who knows?

Yeah. I'm happy for them. But I'm also sad, because clouds are awful in terms of the way they handle state, and Garnix was paving the way towards something better.

Huh? Terraform does its own inspection of related state during plan time. It doesn't just rely on the state file.

Java has better support for non-OOP paradigms than Python does. Map, filter, and reduce are built into the language rather than exiled to an external library. It supports multiline anonymous functions, and it has block scoping, so there are
