Really love the togglable examples. It's often hard to imagine how a change look and while in a perfect world I'd have time to make a mockup to test each version, well, it's hardly a perfect world so examples are appreciated!

I concur, and to be clear I'm only noting that to counter disinformation that only military targets were hit, not as a criticism of your post.

It seems reasonable Russia wants to keep infrastructure intact, not just for minimizing outrage, but also a county reduced to rubble isn't very useful. Not to mention I doubt the average Russian soldier is terribly keen on doing more than necessary damage as well.

Careful assuming introverts don't need socializing. There's a huge difference between just wanting left alone and being stuck home for months on end. I'm not exactly a social butterfly, but deeply miss casual hall conversations or getting coffee.

I realize I'm stating the obvious, but 'i' is shorter while 'int' is slightly clearer. So I think there's a valid argument for both, but personally I think clarity is more important.

Having said that, less typing and clutter are also beneficial, so it's really a net natural debate.

Aren't most globes oriented that way for display though? They copied the normal angle used for physical globes so it's instantly recognizable I suspect.

For what it's worth, the answer "Who cares" is I do. Personally, I don't want to be the jerk who can't be bothered to remember names, so I choose to care.

Having said that, as long as you're not a jerk about it, which I don't think you are, I think it's personally fine to admit you've forgotten my name and ask, I'm not that memorable! :)

I think this just shows the value differences we each have from our upbringing and mentors, so it's very interesting.

As someone who is utterly awful with names but genuinely remembers people I interact with through the day on campus and at work, Dynalist was what I used to keep track of names with references to where I knew them from. Just whatever would spark my memory.

It wasn't that I didn't care about them, I truly did, but I frequently mix up names of even my closest friends if I'm not paying attention and make great effort to not give others the impression I don't care enough to remember.

Indeed, and there seems to be plenty of competition in those markets for quieter, more reliable vacuums and washers anyway. I'm not seeing how that changes the point though, unless I'm missing something.

You might want to check out Dynalist. I've used it for project planning and idea dumps for a couple years and it's served perfectly for me. Saved my bacon with school notes as well. As for lock-in, their paid plan includes daily experts so even if the service vanished, all my notes are safe as markdown files.

You might check out https://exercism.io/tracks/rust . Some are a little heavy in the math department but personally I've always found test drive learning useful when learning a new language thanks to instant feedback.

For what it's worth, Befriend your dentist and the staff there and take headphones to listen to a long podcaste, video or music. It's not perfect of course, but it does wonders and letting them know also helps so they can help get you through it. Finding another dentist or looking into sedation is also an option if it's too bad. As someone with crap tons of dental work and awful teeth, I assure you you're not alone there. :)

Which you doubt? Cool, talk to any Kroger warehouse worker. That position is well known to pay 'ok', but will burn you out with awful conditions within a few months. Sounds a lot like Amazon doesn't it.

Don't underestimate just how many jobs countries have to maintain our standards of living.

Not everyone is how they appear and your disregard and assumption of greed is just sad. For example, I'm going to college, working 'and' working on a side project. I face the near future prospect of having to support myself and two parents, which hardly requires greed on my part. This situation is far from uncommon.
