Absolutely this: nobody wants their buildings sealed. In most apartments, people have continued to pay full salaries to their domestic help and insist that they do not show up for work. In some cases where the domestic help are young migran

On the flip side, the writing has an increasingly rare property that the whole article (essay?) is divided into sections with proper titles. More often than not, I lose patience and give up on most articles these days, simply because there

Probably an isolated point of view, but I stopped learning "new tech" a long time ago. I have a systems programming job and C/C++ is my bread and butter. The only new thing that I might spend some time on this year is C++14,
