* >Ninety-nine percent of the developers at one of the world's largest transportation companies are from India*

What company is that?

They also need acidic soil.

For a while, I was saving the leftover from my morning coffee pot for a friend of mine, who used it to acidify the soil around her blueberry bushes. I don't know if it worked or not.

Preach brother! My sentiments exactly. And I've developed SPAs that are massively complex and highly interactive, and whatever problems these folks are referring to that stuff like this supposedly solves, I've not yet encountered.

"Do the next right thing" was a phrased used by Alcoholics Anonymous long before that 2019 movie came out, so I don't think calling it "The Anna Principle" is appropriate.

And they tried more complicated alloys, for instance they developed Corten steel, the biggest example of which is probably the US Steel building in Pittsburgh. It's a steel where it's 'rust' essentially works as a protective layer.

Also worthy of mention is the New River Gorge Bridge. [1]

And the recently-collapsed Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh. [2]

So they should use the exact same OS and they'll have the same color picker everywhere, native to that OS. Problem solved.

How would that work if the app had to work on both desktop and mobile?

And, how easy would it be to make sure all users were using the same model and make of mobile device?

I think that's UTO :-)

In some places, "PTO" stands for "Personal Time Off". In those places, there can be paid PTO and unpaid PTO.

That's an interesting take that seems so obvious now that you've said it. I've spent my whole life in single family homes and never quite "got" the "go work in a cafe" and similar stuff. Seems like a pretty rich tapestry of possible experiences to miss out on. Huh. Will be chewing on that for a while.

The only way to find out if it's worth your while is to try it. I tried it, and it wasn't for me.

Would you mind sharing which brands were your favorites?

IME, it seems that most of the lawyers with experience in this area primarily work for the companies that hire consultants, rather than consultants themselves. And their skillset is focused on drafting contract language that favors the customer rather than the vendor.

That's not to say that they couldn't apply that same skillset to drafting contracts that protect the interests of the consultant. It's just an observation.

I've never, ever heard of a rental home or apartment or even hotel room that forbids guests. I'm not saying your assertion is false, but can you provide any evidence that it's true?

I think at one time there were women-only boarding houses that forbade male guests, at least there were in old movies, but that's about it.

I usually assume that this USA-specific "missing middle" of dense housing is a result of car culture and the suburban nightmare we've created across the country

I suspect the layout of European farming communities is a holdover from feudalism, when serfs worked the land on behalf of the lord of the manor, who owned all the land.

They probably found conditions in the New World much more desirable, where they could own their own farm. And when they owned their own farm, they probably found it much more convenient to live close to the fields and barns and livestock that they also owned.

JavaScript is reliant on typescript

How is Javascript reliant on Typescript? I've written an enormous volume of Javascript without ever having touched Typescript.

A fair number of people still use Word 97. It does what they need and still works on modern systems. Why switch?

Perhaps so you can open all of those .docx files that people send to you?

Today we have techo vikings.

I'm up to page 30 (of 47) and I'm thinking, wow, someone should really make a movie based on this woman's life and career, at least up until the moon landings.

The bridge was an uncoated weathering steel, three-span...

The somewhat larger New River Gorge bridge is also made from that type of steel.[1]

There may be an avenue that would let you request copies of the video.

If that's true, my guess it that the mainstream media is aware of it and will have copies of the video.

So fixing it is as easy as spinning up a wood lathe and making a new leg.

Which, for 99.99% of humanity, equates to "not easy".

I have experienced exactly what you're describing. I want to find out what the minimum effective layoff time is, however, so I can do it deliberately rather than randomly, and hopefully maximize the rate at which my playing progresses.

anti-intellectual backlash of the early 2000s

I've never heard of this. Could you elaborate, please?

Something definitely went wrong somewhere

Yes, the TV and Movie industries created a lot of unrealistic expectations in your mind.

Just two days ago I bought my very first iPhone. Apple was selling privacy as a feature, so I was buying. I wish I'd seen this first, I might have stuck with Android/Samsung, which I prefer over iOS/iPhone..

Hey, how about unbanning me?

> but a vast percentage of people are vulnerable to the gradual creep of addiction.

Sorry, you're gonna have to back up this rather hefty statement with some facts. I've never seen any data to suggest that a "vast percentage" of people are at risk of becoming alcoholics.

"vulnerable to the gradual creep of addiction" and "at risk of becoming alcoholics" are not the same thing. A person might refrain from alcohol altogether because they believe, perhaps due to their family history, that if they drank on a regular basis they would become alcoholic. IOW, they feel they are vulnerable to the gradual creep of addiction. And they might be right. But as long they don't drink at all, they're not at risk of developing alcoholism.

I wonder why I can't save an MS Word doc as an Epub.

For one, you don't seem to have any concept of our evolutionary biology. Humans have evolved to be goal-oriented, and we receive happiness for participating in activities that are beneficial to our long-term survival.

No, we receive happiness for succeeding in activities that are beneficial to our long-term survival.

For example, I doubt that a prehistoric hunter was very happy after spending three days tramping for miles, burning precious calories, hunting for game but not finding any.
