Yes because we the internet mob need to judge the lives of others. That is so healthy. I don't believe you can both have an intellectually honest debate and judge at the same time. I hope they don't share the actual quotes because

Yeah but for our support we need to start getting in depth with Firefox devtools again. They have features not in chrome and Visa versa. But to blindly switch means taking a productivity penalty, at least temporarily.

Two thoughts immediately cross my mind. 1. You are not European, but more likely American. And 2. You didn't get the raw uncensored version of history. Show me a temple, a Playboy mansion or a church. And I'll show you a place who

Everybody does live near a highschool, but that way you end with bad and good schools because of economic indifferences. They are doing this (rather than just basing it on location alone) to spread the pain and more importantly give childre

It's not magic by VSCode, other web-based editing components such as the ACE editor are also lightning fast. There are two main reasons: - VSCode is rendering in the DOM what you see, not what you scroll to. - VSCode is using the corre

The honest answer -- Microsoft has a lot of people with experience in building these things, so they aren't making the typical mistakes that Atom made with their architecture. For example: Atom was rendering dom nodes for your whole fi

A gossip magazine will make statements that are often false but falsifiable. Hence strictly more scientific than statements about EQ. Right now there is no consensus of what the claims behind the phrase EQ even mean -- which gives society f

Research around IQ can reliably make predictions based on the measurement of IQ. So, that means two things: - the research is well defined enough that you can do an experiment to disprove it - most of the research has not been successfully

You didnt have trouble with the term EQ because it tries to suggest it is like IQ? Eventhough one of them is science and the other is less scientific than a gossip magazine?

Honestly, your accountant sucked. All the rules are about making sure value produced is taxed exactly once. No more no less. If you find a loophole out of that, you better triple check that, because it is definitely not the spirit these tax

This is a rule everywhere, in every nation with any serious tax system - otherwise it is a big loop hole for everyone and no taxes at all would be collected. Example: a dutch company sells a product to dutch consumers. They have to pay VAT.
