> And one last thing, the EU was created to economically tie as many countries in Europe together so they would all depend on each other for resources. That way no one country could start world war three. To me this is one of the most im

I also mainly remember the slowness. I ran it on a 300 Mhz PowerBook iirc. (It wasn't my main machine/OS though.)

At that time they had a proper excuse though - it was brand new, they had financial issues, their old OS was antiquated so they had to rush, etc, etc. They then worked diligently for like a decade to reach a peak in terms of features, desig

The European Police College (CEPOL) left the UK for Hungary in 2014. Perhaps the detectives deduced that UK would leave EU? https://www.cepol.europa.eu/media/news/european-police-colle...

It sounds a bit like 80s-style speech synthesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV3pYZZ2jEw (This example is the Dr. Sbaitso demo that shipped with Sound Blaster 1.0/1.5 or so and onwards.)

(Re-phrasing.) Right, but how exactly are they making a surgery/implant kind of thing safe and cost-effective in this area?

And how the heck do they make this cost-effective while still being safe? In Sub-Saharan Africa?

I downvoted you. Since I really hate when people downvote me without providing a reason I thought I would comment: This is pragmatism in action. I do think it's often easier to get better results by working around people's behavio

Somewhat OT: Just having recently gotten into Go: How about changing the official name from Go to Golang? It's not ideal, but so wasn't the naming in the first place :/ Go isn't particularly search friendly. Quite ironic

It does take longer for many people to learn new things when they are 50-60 though. I do think we have to be realistic about the issue that many people who learned and performed complex intellectual skills in their 20s/30s no longer

Well, that plan does sound plausible. Seems smart and social enough to get a good job in development. And on top of that he is quite good at writing. Maybe that's something - in combination with programming skills - he could focus on,
