I had plenty of issues with going back and forth. Finally I just got a Dell 4k monitor. I think it was 700 at the time but I am pretty sure they are closer to 350 now or less. That solved docking and so many other issues like restarting app

It streamlined the process of meeting interesting and nice people. I don't see a problem in that. If you are treating them as trivial dates that might be the problem. It is a chance to see if you might be interested in seeing each othe

It doesn't say anything about our culture. Getting a date via a dating app is trivial. You match, ask each other a couple questions, you meet. Don't ask or send nudes. You have to be incredibly inept if you can't get at leas

What coaching is necessary? You chit chat about interests and ask to meet. It's really that simple.

This is really stupid. If you can't get a first date with a few messages back and forth of general chit chat, then asking to meet up you are doing something seriously wrong. Unless there is a schedule conflict that delays meeting, the

You don't need to doubt algorithmic shopping suggestions and just say they are absolutely worthless. It's amazing how much effort has been put into that concept throughout the industry and it is universally junk. They might as wel

Your comment said that they are doing very well compared to other PC vendors. Plain and simple they are not. They exist. HP is doing very well compared to mfgs named after a fruit. That is accurate.

Google proposed changes to chromium that makes many people not use chromium. Or chrome. I will focus on Firefox for compatibility, if it works on chrome that's great but I will consider it ie6, I don't care about crippled browsers

I am going to generalize your statement: driving in Chicago is awful. Ive consistently had it take an hour to move ten miles regardless of the day of week to visit family in Milwaukee. At least a third of the drive I could see the Sears tow

I generally agree but there are circumstances where you can just tell. My experience as an adult being rediagnosed was honestly answering a survey of questions. Half way through the psychiatrist already knew it. There was no question. I was

Yes in store reward systems are completely different than credit card and debit card companies. I work in that industry and look at the raw data. You are definitely incorrect about how the various levels of a transaction works and how the v

What are you talking about, apple is definitely not in the lead sales volume wise. They are typically 4th or 5th. They are still 7-10 percent just like they were ten and twenty years ago.

That is not how credit card processing works. Some companies store additional data on a store by store basis, but visa/MasterCard does not transmit that info. They deal with a lot of data, but it's transactional. To make the trans

If you fail training or quit you should not get the bonus. If you were fired for cause same thing. That's on the employee. But layoffs were coming and probably known, that was out of the employee's control. Pay the damn bonus as

Bullshit artists are honestly easy to spot. They are easy to trip up because they think they are good at fooling people. If they said all the right things, the questions were probably low quality. I would throw a zinger in to see if they ca

You can, but actually seeing it in the wild is rare. I consider myself full stack, but I try to avoid anything js because I'm inhereting someone elses shit ecosystem. If I was forced to on a couple projects I've seen I'd ask

Transpiling to JavaScript is a bug on the web, not a feature. node and npm is a shit show. Having to deal with it a couple days ago. I wish that entire ecosystem would just die. I can make a sophisticated python web app with 20 packages. Or
