When you get to the symbols, all becomes symbol manipulation, so why would computer proof verification systems not be up to the task?

Thanks for that. The problem isn't DID or anything like that but a strange attitude that they want nice things but will put in zero effort to achieve that even if shown basic steps, and have a mindset that they're totally fucked,

Why is it a 'good thing'? Why do you feel others are more qualified than you? Why do you feel others can be more qualified in a subject that (so far) has a purely subjective interpretation?

The front page alone is 9MB. Edit: perhaps more importantly, I have to gain a feeling for the product, to work out whether it's worth the perhaps nontrivial time evaluating it. If I'm presented with this what it indicates to me, r

The main site page is just awful. It's amateurish, image/animation heavy to no value, almost negligable information. They may have something good but the site's just obscuring it.

I'll try and answer your questions but please answer me this, what is the psychology of people like you who see failure not as an option but as a destination? You seem absolutely determined to be both resentful of society and completel

Thanks, and I understood the word was used for dramatic effect only. From my POV I too find it frustrating at times, but I'd say much of that comes quite unnecessarily not from JS use, but its abuse, eg. fails to display text unless J

As a guy who does this blocking pretty ruthlessly (edit: inc. cookies), I'd like to understand why - I don't take offence at 'sneer', ISWYM but I'd like to understand the other side of the fence. TIA

I don't have a smartphone. That alone will prevent browsing habits being picked up by parasitic apps etc on a phone. What I browse at home I have more control over with blocklists etc and disabling js. I rarely carry my dumphone around

Hands up, it's a fair point. I've worked with data sets that are mainly large aggregates of public data so security isn't an issue. It's the code that's carefully protected. One exception is having access to that da

IME I've never needed one. You get a copy of prod and test against that. SPs are typically short, even when they're long their functionality tends to be well defined, it's never been a problem for me. You certainly can and do

You can't be a SPM without having some solid understanding of dev. Without that you can't make good decisions. It's like saying a person can become the captain of a ship without sailing experience. The one good project manage

for some reason you omitted the sleazier half of the title "...and influence people". Improving social skills and using them manipulatively are entirely different things. If you've ever known or worked with psychopaths you&#x
