I'm sorry. I have read the post and I don't understand what you are referring to.

It's an interesting concept that generalizations can be true without applying to every case. For example, the statement "humans have one heart" is generally true, but there are exceptions where people have had an additional h

>The range of behaviors that Humans have is fundamentally far, far more broad than animals, because we are much more intelligent creatures. This is a difference in scale not a difference of kind.

You get it back up and running quickly because it's so simple and easy to deploy a new server and load the backups on to it.

His lectures helped me through my engineering degree. My lecturers made it hard to understand, Gilbert's teaching made it easy to understand.

Come on F# you can do it. Seriously I wish it would gain more traction. I love using F# but fear it's a bit of a dead end of an investment.

I think they meant perceived value as a potential mate. Not net value to society.

As someone who does believe in God, it seems odd to get someone to swear on a book that tells you not to swear an oath at all. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_5#Verse_12

Yeah that "clever trick" has no doubt cost tens of thousands of lives. If not more.

You've over simplified the problem. Yes infinite resources would solve this. However, the cost is astronomical. You require not just the vaccine but the infrastructure to support it in regions that are very far off this level of infras

Yeah you're right. I built my own auth, forms based with blowfish encryption is a few hours. Then I felt like I was doing it wrong. So I looked at OpenID. It's been two weeks and it just working. It'll take me. A few days to

Yeah I've hit that. So if you log them out in your application that will remove the cookies and they won't show as logged in but the next redirect to Keycloak shows an error. The documentation sucks for ASP.net and it's far w

Thank you! That looks like the exact problem I'm facing. I'll try it out today! Thanks again!

I've just started using Keycloak to provide OpenID for F# Safe stack applications. Wow the learning curve was steep on that one. Not having ever touched OpenID or anything other than forms based authentication and not knowing ASP.Net v

I struggle to understand what insight is gained from this article. Can anyone explain how this could be useful?

I like the idea of local charities that you can see and know you align with. Personally I give to my church. They align with my values and I see how active they are in the community.

Crypto's value mostly comes from speculation and money laundering. It's not a safe investment. Currency is not a safe investment.

I don't want to discourage your son but this might set him up for life. Learning not to invest all your savings in high risk investments is a good life lesson. An invaluable one if you ask me. Learning how to hold on to my money took m

Karma is still part of the skinner box that keeps me commenting. I'd rather keep my addiction.

I would love to spend more time in the garden. Hunting and fishing are hobbies I'd also love to pursue. I find that after the work week I have just enough time to spend time with my family and not much else. I'm not sure what is s

Very well done. That would be ideal.

What is life like on Upwork? Is there a lot of wasted time and low paying contracts?

I'm not saying this is a scam but... No wait I am. This is a scam. Actually this is spam for a scam. Scam spam!

Excel is ubiquitous and makes csv easy for humans to read. Machines do the 99.99% of the time that things are working. The .01% when humans need to get in the loop is when something goes wrong and life is better when you can read the data t

Yeah it was RSI that caused me to use the Advantage too. The learning curve was brutal but now I love typing on it. Also I added o rings. I like the fact that I can bottom out and have a soft impact.

I use and Advantage but have not tried the 360. How do you find it? Have you used the older models to give a comparison?
