ZBrush is $40/month. Makes me sad you can’t afford that.

Why doesn’t it include Azure Devops?

It’s not about money, but about ensuring that the repair shops have up to date information and tools to execute the repairs and that they’re delivering a decent quality. Without the certification you won’t get access to the special tools and diagnose software.

Your opinion is popular and unfounded.

The touchpad on my Lenovo X1 Extreme has a noticable delay (maybe 300ms) of when it starts working after I used the keyboard. Instead of real palm detection, it gets into some kind of sleep mode.

No, Apple wanted to appeal to pro-sumers. The stand is for people who need the display, but already have a monitor grid to plug it in.

"risk for obesity is primarily determined by total calorie intake"

The macro nutrients certainly matter in the details, but not so much in the overall picture. It does mostly work like a gas tank, and the energy content in good is literally measured in [kJ].

Fat has a lot of stored energy, why on the planet, do people believe the body is able to create and store energy out of thin air?

And it exactly works the opposite way, the body will use the stored energy in the fat if there's not alternative.

That’s a bit of BS. You don’t loose weight magically because of macronutrients. Bollocks.

You loose weight, because you burn your excess fat. Without restricting your intake, there is no reason for your body to burn your fat reserves and that’s why you won’t loose weight just with low carb and same total calories.

(You may loose some water, but not fat).

On a ketogenic diet, your body is constantly using fat as fuel, which makes it easier to eat less calories and be less hungry. Also ditching carbs prevents insulin spikes, which impact a lot how you feel and act.

I lost +30kg with restricting my calory intake by ~25% (calculated on the energy value of the fat loss per month) and keto helped me to not feel hungry and also skip a meal or two without any impact on my energy level.

Why not just make another Google Account just for this project?

It’s what I do since year, basically for every customer I work, I create a new account and even share the credentials with the customer (if he wants it).

Finance IT with a history in multiple German-speaking regions.

No, that’s not generally true in Europe. It depends solely on the company. During the first 12 weeks of fatherhood, I worked two days instead of five and my perceived productivity stayed the same. As an expert slacker and procrastinator, you can slack in many places.

Salaries in IT are generally very good in all European countries and if you manage your salary well, you’ll buy a house when you’re in the mid-thirties.

But there are many companies and developers that do extreme low-balling when it comes to money. I saw people paid 40% less than me, delivering much more value. But at the same time, they were so loyal with their employer, they didn’t even ask for a pay rise.

Myself, I’m the opposite, my Cv looks great and if a company wants to hire me, I manage to push the first salary offer usually by 20-30%. Instead of a promotion, I stay for 2-3 years and then just apply until a company gives me another 20-30% more.

My salary tripled since 2003.

I love Linux, but I hate Linux Desktop.

Yes :-) It's fair to say Python's approach to dependency management doesn't follow the Zen of Python, but there's a simple way documented in the tutorial: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

I've always seen it like this: Not everyone builds reproducible software with Python (or in general) and how you handle dependencies can vary. Python leaves it open how you do it: globally installed packages, local packages, or a mix of both.

In the end, it needs to find the import in the PYTHONPATH, so there's no magic involved, and there are multiple robust options to choose from.

So instead of bashing Python for not shoveling down an opinion on you, it's up to the developers to choose which tools they want to use.

If they don't choose one and are unable to freeze their dependencies, it's not a Python problem, but IMO lack of skill and seniority.

I live in a central European country and receive 0-2 spam calls per month. And that's because my phone number was used by someone else before (it's a company phone).

Why is this such a big problem in the US?

In the EURO Zone, SEPA transfers worked really well for me so far: - SEPA fee is less than 1 EURO, regardless of the volume (e.g. with UBS, but some banks might rip you off) - it takes at most 2 banking days, but half of the payments made before the bank day opening, are transferred during the current day in my experience

Not enough IOPS

Then people would just do 10'000 0.1 BTC trades....

Sometimes it's also from people who use JavaScript in a more functional context, e.g. with currying. Suddenly it requires a lot of effort to still have TypeScripts benefits. https://gist.github.com/donnut/fd56232da58d25ceecf1

Switzerland: if you're ill, you don't go to the hospital. You go the a doctor near you, that already knows your medical history (family doctor), or you call a free hotline (Sanatel), or you just go to a Pharmacy, as the personnel there has medical training and they can also find the nearest doctor and make an appointment for you. And then, bigger public transport stations and airports have doctor stations that are reasonably staffed where you can just walk in ~24hrs. Hospitals do have walk-in for illness as well, but in relation to other stuff going on in the hospital you don't have a high priority and wait times can be more than you'd expect.

You say much more about youself and you're implicit excuse-system why you are overweight, than any kind of factual information. Been there, lost weight, normal now. The brain is the biggest hurdle.

I work in a central European country and had a similar issue (see my comment above) where I was the culprit. HR told me they we're approached by my colleague and I should avoid her und stick to the code of conduct. I think my job was not on the line, which prevented me from the moronic defense mode that OP engaged into.

:-) I agree 100%. I missed that chance by isolating myself and spending every free minute in front of the computer.

15 years ago, freshly employed, less than 25 years old, introverted and socially awkward, I had a work colleague as well to which I wrote a romantic poem (for her, more or less out of the blue). It wasn't received well. Not well at all. I had trouble understanding her dismissal and insisted on that she gave me signs of affection. HR was involved briefly, my story sounded so similar to what OP writes. But in my case, she quit the job. Years later, I realised my self-delusion.

I'm sure it will feature dragons ... https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/p1ssv

Sometimes being light years ahead and being completely out of touch are interchangeable statements.

> I think the various Unicode whitespace characters are likely to gain more use generally. The big problem though is that whitespace characters all look alike and so you can't read and parse the way a computer does.

I think the big problem is, that there are people out there, that think Python programmers have a huge urge to use non-standard whitespace characters in their source code.

> Perl is a wonderful language, but to write good quality, maintainable, robust code in it takes some work. But that work is well rewarded.

The reward for that kind of code is the same in all languages, but your statement implies, it's maybe better to choose a language, where it's not as hard as with Perl to write good quality, maintainable, robust code. Point taken.
