Who forms the cabinet though? In a two party system - where one party seems to be built around a personality cult - cabinet can be filled with rubber stampers

Edit is ported to win11 and edit(.exe) should work in your shell of choice.

For me personally, the problem is my teammates. The ability or will to critically think, or investigate existing tools in the codebase seems to disappear. Too often now I have to send back a PR where something is fixed using novel implementations instead of the single function call using existing infrastructure.

Maybe because it is easier to track one library, react and jsx. I wouldn't use xmlhttprequest since the request api exist.

Tbh, this sounds like a Google Easter egg.

The NASA Workmanship's guide linked in a sibling instructs to stagger multiple splices. I think that would help with this problem.

My sister drives one of those. And I'm always jealous of this when I'm sitting next to her.

IIRC he has a few thousand of these 6AU6 tubes that he got in bulk. So he has designed most of his tube applications around these tubes.

About why to use tubes? I don't know, entertainment purpuoses I guess. His ventures into computing using tubes entertain some at least[0].

> [..] a strong tendency to make you do stupid, dangerous stuff in traffic any time there's the slightest ambiguity or delay in the phone's instructions to you.

This is why in the Netherlands you are tought to drive using a satnav, and it can even be required to navigate using one during your driving exam.

Had a lecturer that made a specific clicking sound at the beginning of every sentence, never had any problem with it. Until a classmate pointed it out, made it almost impossible to follow this man's lectures afterwards

I sometimes run into sites that won't even allow a + in the name part of an email address.

And yes, I use gmail and the + functionality extensively.

New comment by ganzsz in "US Senators call on FCC to raise broadband definition to 100Mbs down and up"

ganzsz — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 15:40:11 +0000

I believe the definition of broadband is mostly relevant when future grants and contracts are handed out by gov. So could help for new business, but I don't think it will be used in existing connections.

But to me it is not entirely clear in the article.

I feel you. I just started working for a smaller company where I can work 4 days. And I have to say, my midweekend(Wednesday off) is amazing.

Still able to pay the bills, but I'm working to live, not living to work. I really hope this option is possible when I decide to go for a new challenge in a few years.

I really like what you try to achieve with the platform. Will keep an eye on it.

Games that lean on conversation, Assassin's Creed for example, will sometimes have Dutch subtitles. Those helped me when I was younger, also enabling English subtitles in series and games.

But tbh a big thing is the exposure at a young age, I tried to do the same thing with Spanish series but a new language simply doesn't stick as well as it did 15 years ago.

To me it is clear that Gates was prepared by a host of lawyers, which makes sense.

But the interrogator doesn't grasp the subject entirely as well, I too would want clarification to the question if a content provider uses IE. You could ask a helpful question, e.g. Do you mean if they develop sites specifically for IE?

But That is not how you go about a deposition, you're not there to help people build a case against you.

Same here in most Dutch cities, I myself don't live near the city centre but still have a self contained neighbourhood with a ton of schools shops and other facilities. And the public transport is good enough to be able to reach the entire metropolitan area for a job.

Would be a nice research if someone could test different cities and neighbourhoods indeed.
