It's worth noting that the IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE was Jetbrains' first and it is written in Java. A few years later they invented Kotlin with a focus on strong IDE support. The language was designed from the beginning with tooling

How do you expect to program it? Have you found any English documentation anywhere?

I watched a video once of an adult that taught himself perfect pitch. It turned out the way he learnt it was a little different than how a child might learn it as he had to use reference points in his mind and then use relative pitch to cal

Yes! I think this is a good explanation. I find it hard to relate two different notes to each other when they are sufficiently different. If they are very different then it obvious but if they are 1-2 tones apart I only really hear them as

Did anyone else find the first half of the test harder than the second? I got all of the questions right but the ones where the tone was 1/3 or more of a tone off I really struggled to tell if they were up or down. Weirdly I didn'

It is traumatic for sure. The best coping method I can think of is to remember that these are professionals providing the best possible care for you using practices that have been refined over decades. Everything they do is in an effort to

They are comparing test results of people who reported having a positive covid-19 test vs those that reported no positive test or symptoms. The timing of the study should not be a factor.

Maybe it's because of the way Twitter is designed. On Twitter, the root of a discussion thread is a post made by a particular user on their feed. If I want to talk about another person's post, I don't need to reply on their t

Wow thanks for this reply and the other reply that you linked. I think it just goes to prove how valuable it is to do your own research before passing judgement but sadly this takes a lot of time and effort that many people (including me) d

Thanks for your perspective. It really does take a lot of effort to research and understand the context of these kind of events and I really wish everyone would make the same effort before jumping to their own conclusions.

I don't really feel like this article explores the situation fully. Why are there no quotes from either Roost or Sojwal or their respective supporters? For an article that talks about the concept of keeping an open mind to the other si

> Do you see the inconsistency here?... From the other side, it would look like you're the one advocating in favor of an even more extreme 'undue influence'. I can see why you think there is an inconsistency here but I don

Sorry maybe I didn't express it correctly but my thoughts were that nobody believes the right to make sounds from our lungs or put words on a page are fundamental - what is more important to us is that our views and opinions are heard

I'd be interested to know what your thoughts are on the UK and German models of "free speech" where no one has an absolute right to say what they want - certain subjects such as Holocaust denial or promotion of terrorism are

I don't agree with your belief that using "they" as a singular pronoun is wrong but I won't argue with that - each to their own. However, I wonder what pronoun do you use when you want to refer to a single person whose g

Another person in that thread said they did the same thing for 6 months during the quarantine. At least two other folks on that thread have said they know someone who did the same thing.

What is wrong with how the content is presented?

That makes sense to me. If the evidence is not rock solid, you probably should not be making medical suggestions to your customers. The idea of my insurance company suggesting I should take supplements where that isn't within the typic

If you're out in the sun every day, probably not. If you are indoors all day, it's probably a good idea to take a supplement. This calculator page is a great way to estimate how much time outside it would take for you to get gener

Ok... but why was your conclusion dismissed? This is very troubling.

Yeah, you can easily purchase it over the counter and it's very cheap. You can find it in the vitamins and supplements section. You should probably be looking for "high-strength" pills of 1000 IU. I won't say exactly how

I would say that we don't yet have the desired level of evidence for the effectiveness of either masks or vitamin D supplements when it comes to battling covid-19. The difference is that it's almost certainly not going to harm som

It's not so much that they prefer Biden over Trump. But they dislike Trump. I know people who cannot stand his antics on Twitter or the way he disrespects women or his blatant infidelity to his wives. However they strongly believe in c

It's a terrible argument. If the senate is not controlled by the same party as the president and they dislike the president's choice for supreme court, they can vote not to confirm him/her. It also encourages the president to

Uh no not at all. I don't have an opinion on the issues I mentioned. I just think that if you put an issue into a category and use that as the basis of your explanation then your argument should also hold for all elements of that categ

That doesn't really explain why right-wingers would want to focus on it as an issue. Why not focus on for example the effect of raising minimum wage on job vacancies or wild fires contributing to climate change? Both have some amount o
