https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/health-expenditures.htm The US spent 3.2 trillion on health care in 2015. 100 billion is 3.12%. It doesn't seem like that big of a problem.

How long did it take you to learn to use your mouse with your left hand? That sounds handy. I currently get around window confusion by programming the F keys to certain windows. E.g. if I hit ctrl-shift-f1, my currently focused window wil

I like to have side projects, but I still don't like to share them. People love to find reasons to reject, and an 18, 11, or 7 year long side project (the age of all my side projects) isn't really a fair representation of how I c

To me, plain old competition is analyzing the system with data that a regular user might use. It becomes more like reverse engineering the more you dig into, to the user, irrelevant technical details of the product.

Some of the "better programming" stuff exists, programmers just don't program them because you don't need them for it. Parallel programming didn't matter as much as long as clockrates continued to scale with transis

I kinda do the reverse. When I'm at the store, I buy a couple random things. Then I go online to find a recipe. If I can't find something, at the end of the day, pretty much any piece of food seasoned and grilled will taste good

As others mentioned, you can get a flood plain map from several sources. However, some of them can be wrong. The federal map for our home is wrong and puts us in a flood plain. But that map was from before our development was built, which
