Is that not a bit like saying "I would rather have my arms amputated than have a frontal lobotomy"?

I mean, while that's likely quite true, what i would RATHER have is neither of those two...

Good bloody riddance, in my opinion... Letting the workers escape their jails has not caused the collapse of western civilisation. At least not yet...

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"No, really, what's wrong?"

"I said 'nothing'!"

"Okay, So when you're ready, talk to me..."

Eight months later...

To abuse an old meme: "...yes, but does it run on Linux..."

It seems like Windows already has a glut of similar tools; if you wanted to make a real impact with a fairly new language, which Swift is, with massive corporate backing, which Swift has, the one would think Linux would be a far more opportune destination for an effort like this.

Much what I was about to comment.

My mother passed away some 35-odd years away, and it really took me by surprise when I found out my little sister could visualise her and describe her from memory. I, on the other hand, could m and can recognise photos of her, but when describing her soul resort to learned facts: she was very pretty, slim, had brown hair and eyes, etc., etc.

Where the story turns, though, is how I remember things, as opposed to my academic (research professor) and artistic (painter/sculptor, and thus extremely visually oriented) wife. She continually misplaces her keys or glasses, for example. I have learnt to notice items, like them them amongst other things, and link them narritively (glasses on lounge table, keys on dishwasher, mask on sink…) and can then recall that without any real effort at a later stage.

It also fascinates her that I can read something like a programming manual like a story book and recall enough of it afterwards to put it into practice using the same manual only as a reference afterwards.

Horses for courses, I suppose.

Mostly a lack of study, it would seem, but she is anti-advertising in general as well...

My wife did her PhD in out-of-home media (which very much included billboards).

I have yet to find a more rabid opponent to out-of-home advertising (in general) and billboards (in particular), and she will explain why it is evil at the drop of the proverbial hat...

As an amateur artist she will start with visual pollution and then veer into psychological damage... /grin
