Don Alberto is used as retainer wall of one of the multiple rowing clubs in the Tigre area. Used to paddle by it and think it was a wall or something build as a pier

Because they were complex shit made for elitist purist morons.

Simple is beautiful.

I hadn’t thought of that use case. Say for example you find 1990’s Clipper code and want to give it a try on a modern Linux. Thanks

Yes. Quick lookup gives Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Norway, Cuba, Sweden has copays with a limit. Need to do your homework, but some have very easy residency requirements. With Europe the best bet is to get jus sanguinis citizenship if you have any ancestor who came in a boat.

No. This was meant as a comment to mention that it does not need to be this way. Maybe voting can help. Also, it's actual possibility. I have moved countries, and I'm not rich. If I had a serious condition I'd move off the USA in a minute. Either Europe or South America. There are no such wait times in some countries. The thing is "pricey" and "medical assistance" don't need to go together. US population thinks so, are used to it. It's crazy. The dollar amounts sent back and forth between insurance and providers are bonkers. Absolutely inflated. Same as medical career cost.

Move to any country with universal healthcare

Same story here. I was 12.

I see no problem with COBOL. I'd rather have my credit card transaction be processed with 40yo well tested COBOL than Java from the newest intern using copilot.

Why not sails? Wind. That stuff

Certificate expired?

It's much more accurate to assume "everybody has Whatsapp" as the baseline. Many countries with users with plans with no data but unlimited Whatsapp

Bring back 4GLs like Clipper / dBase etc

Marathon kayaking is huge in South Africa, Europe, and other countries. Makes a much better show than sprint but marathoners have to move to sprint to go to the Olympics (SA Andy Birket) Much less popular, shorter, less fun.

Not if everybody plays, in every school recess, every park, rec center, etc. That's how football is in most countries. "Pay to play" is a very US thing.

Makes me want a dumb phone with just Google maps and WhatsApp even more. (WhatsApp is the de facto standard everywhere out of USA)

Why would I use it over Bitwarder?

Why does the EAD/AP card exist? Let’s say one is on an L1 visa waiting for the GC. Why does the US even bother to issue the EAD?

Does the trackpad skip? That’s the only thing that is not perfect about my x220. The only app that kills it is the dammed Zoom

Give context and ask the question. I like Moscato, I don’t like Extra Brut. What champagne should I by for New Year’s Eve?

Isn’t GMRS what people use in adventures? Off road, kayaking, mountain bike etc. Being limited by license requirements makes the majority on any trip not able to use VHF.

No x509 certificates involved?

In countries with legally binding digital signatures (I.e. Argentina) you need a cert issued following identity verification.

It’s mostly because in free public universities there’s an appetite for making things hard. Very hard. The less students graduate, the most prestigious they think they are

Not a joke. The thing exists

Why is it not called Vicuña as it should? Vicuna does not sound the same way

I had it write my green card justification. Awesome corp-speak BS.

You'll find a bunch of tech recruiters asking you about Big O notation for the algorithm you propose. They want to look smart. Most of the times you'll smell shitty code, inefficient loops, slow I/O, waste of memory without formal methods.

An old example from the beginning of the century: if you did matrix algebra you could have understood how to rotate an object position in 3D for a game using math but find it very hard to code. Or you could take Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book [1] and learn it anyway. You'll do fine.

I’d leave ethics to the family even in a traditional school.

Agree. Not going to school is only for some privileged people who can live on only one income and at least one parent can guide (not “teach”). I wish the benefits of homeschooling could be scaled to mass education (self paced, adapted to each kid, no bullying, more time to play, and more)

The contents taught at school are overrated. They can be learned with 1-2 hours a day of homeschooling. It’s mostly about childcare and people who just repeat what they went through. Even coping with bullying is taken as learning how to deal with “real life”. I think it’s mainly for childcare and is great at producing obedient employees and soldiers.

Higher education (for IT and business) is overrated by people who paid so much for their own that they only hire their likes.

Same boat but in big financial institution. How do you handle missed deadlines committed by higher ranks depending on your team’s delivery? In one word: failure? Hard to just “accept and move on” when the failure is not acknowledged and managed and plans are not changed in the company. I find myself trapped in that situation, and it follows me home. It sucks
