i grew up in central florida in the 80s and we had solar-thermal water heating. we were not wealthy (dad was a construction worker and mom was an odd-job secretary) but my friends were all mystified by the things. i remember climbing up on

I wrote Dts package scripts in Vbs but had primarily used C# for application development. When Ssis came out with Sql Server 2015, they only released Vb.Net for scripting components. It wasn't a natural transition from Vbs -> Vb.Net

i disagree. i’d posit that science finds the truth about the cosmos. religion offers a lens through which you can interpret and apply the truths that science has discovered. i think what you’re describing is how various practitioners of eac

autocorrect and the swipe keyboard on ios has gotten progressively worse with each release, to the degree that i've reverted to typing with my thumbs because it's faster. additional languages seems like a bridge too far right now
