On the other hand I think he’s lucky. He has enough media coverage and people know him. He is under the watchful eyes of many. Anyone else that was in the exact same situation as him without the media making it a big deal like this, would not have made it back. When someone uses his example, all I can think is, you can’t expect people to be lucky as he was.
All my friends that have been to Europe said the racism there is worse than US, because people in US are at least not racist to your face, (or maybe there’s more diversity here and people live in bubbles, this could be significant reason that my friends didn’t think of; they mostly interact with international people).
Most of the time when I hear and see a country being great about society and such, it seems to be great for their own citizens. Which is understandable. But that means we don’t really have much choice of other countries accepting us (I’m brown and have an accent so I can’t fit in in Europe).
None. I just install os and use it without any encryption and such. It’s more important for me to be able to access data on device failure than encrypt it.
Honest opinion programming is easy and fun when you learn it and it saves you time and allows you to test your ideas. Creating something gives you dopamine.
Problem is before people even try any programming for themselves, they are introduced to it through school or work where they have to do it for homeworks or analysis while also learning new things. And they hate it.
I don’t know how comfortable you are writing your own, but pdf saves the components with coordinates, bounding box etc so you should be able to automate it with a small script that reads pdf components directly.
Also try qpdf to convert pdf into qdf format, then you can open it in a text editor, find the element you want to remove. Look at examples of few pages, find the pattern and do regex replace. Make sure to keep a copy and check the diff before accepting it.
Can’t see instructions on how to use it, do I need to do anything non trivial on my phone? Should I test it on an old phone?
It still does not. All the commenter is saying is remember how many kids thought that, and it’s the same when they grow up.
Again, you can type feet instead of ft and it’ll work. You can write ‘feet per second’ instead of ‘ft/s’ and it’ll work. Natural language has its benefits but when you have a very simple syntax model then there’s less chances of it making a mistake.
Same way people in the past probably said there’s no way you can make anything work without a mechanical mechanism? Can you imagine what an electronic device/chip would look to someone from far past? People thought humans couldn’t fly.
Those “fundamental science” is just us making sense of the universe in a way we can observe it and even then we don’t know everything. Can you imagine how different the universe looks if you just shift the electro magnetic waves you can see.
I also like it very much. I hope they make a library for it soon, I can’t wait to use it to make unit aware calculators.
I mean the syntax for gnu units is literally the same unit expression used in math. m^2, cm, m/s etc. the ft;in looks weird because it’s two units combined.
Your example in it would be units 30ft mm , use -t for terse results that’s just the final value.
Doesn’t even work well on a single monitor on Wayland. It gets confused with screen size or sth, fills a small area on top left with screen contents and lot of black space
Warm as in heated water, yes. Room temperature or lukewarm water from the pipes, NO.
Wait people don’t like drinking water? Drinking water (not warm) when you’re thirsty is a really good feeling. I only struggled with forgetting to drink water when I’m not thirsty, but once I am I drink.
Seeing the sugar addiction and soda problem maybe it was because I didn’t drink those regularly growing up. They were just treats. Also as a child we had fun eating certain fruits that were sour/bitter and then drink water after that, it makes the water taste sweet.
Maybe you can try eating/licking lemon/lime a bit and drink water later.
Gnu units does unit conversion. Also seems to have currency. It’s a command line tool though

Yeah. Independence is nice and all, specially because of current advances in technology that makes it possible. But the same technology have made it possible to goto the extreme that we were not prepared for.
Classes might help. But the important part is someone with experience doing it for you until you get a hang of it. Someone giving you lession on what to do might give you knowledge but it takes practice, reminders etc. I know you said both is good. I agree with that as things change, some practice in the past might not be good now, but that might also come from every generation resetting the knowledge, if you have generational knowledge passed, and collected and refined with community and science, then the things that work well will stick out longer.
Also, no paternity leave in many places, and short maternity leave (looking at US with zero federally required maternity leave), means people take those for recovery and do not have as much free time before they have the baby.
I know right. I don’t see why countries promote this kinda individualism and expect people to have children.
I use messenger on Facebook web through. I do have the app as well, but the web works.
