My experience is quite similar. On top of that, 99% of the time I am unable to understand what they're speaking (Indians and many other Asians). Their writing is slightly better - but still has a large room for improvement in understan

Well, that's why there are people in another industry, whose core competency is designing UI - but writing the code behind their UI is a chore for them. Why don't these few in the first industry cooperate with people from the seco

Is not there a problem to have a popup menu from the top frame that will cover and overlap the main frame? As far as I know, frames can overlap only their parents - but not their siblings.

I face the same problem with about 70%-80% of my clients. And there are 2 reasons: a) they really do not know how their business runs - maybe some parts but never the whole "machine" b) they do not know how to properly express

Direct democracy ( https://klissarov.eu/en/books/platform-of-the-pp-direct-demo... ) can change the status quo - if enough people get up from the couch and do vote for it. It just needs to reach a critical mass - bu

Well, I am not such a strict follower of a religion but I believe that if someone listens to Satan - the consequences are his/her own responsibility, not a Satan's guilt. If I am not mistaken - Satan makes offers. You can accept o

There are bad people on both side of the border - don't be fooled that they are more on the "other" side of the border because there might be ones that you are not seeing (yet). Blocking the whole "other side" is si

It is quite obvious that the issue is inside the people - not inside the words. People have the ultimate power (a gift by God) to make decisions. Words can not force someone to do something - they are just sitting right there, doing nothing

I have such a trauma. When I was at 2nd grade in primary school, they were bringing us to the nearest pool at a stadium for swimming lessons. The teacher was asking us to jump one by one in the water and to try getting closer to a life-bouy
