I used to manage a small fleet of about 6 XPS laptops at my old job. 3 of them needed motherboard replacements under warranty within a year. People would put them on standby and put them in their bag, then get home and…

I became interested in the language after a brief relationship with a Ukrainian.
The idea that child brains are better at learning languages is a myth. Adults struggle with languages because traditional language education is not fit for purpose. If you took a child and isolated them in such a way…
Comprehensible input does seem to be the most effective way. i.e. get a lot of input that is only slightly beyond your current level (i+1). I'm learning Ukrainian and there is a podcast "Ukrainian Lessons Podcast".…
Exactly this. I remember when it was just a couple small links in a yellow banner you could scroll past. Same with YouTube, the ads used to just be a banner under or beside the video but didn't interfere with the main…
I had no problem with ads when they were just a banner next to the video. Now youtube is borderline unusable without an ad blocker. That said they are free to try and stop me, and I am free to continue using ublock.
So many of the so-called "C alternatives" end up doing way too much. I don't need algebraic data types or classes or an integrated build system or a package manager. What I would like to see is a language that is…
He isn't? The patch of green on the finger is his middle knuckle. His finger is well outside the trigger guard.

The MISRA guidelines are awful.

Many countries do this for immigration. In New Zealand they say your test result doesn't affect your application. Whether that's true I don't know.

In terms of the physics involved, a head-on collision with a similar vehicle traveling at the same speed as you is equivalent to hitting a concrete wall.
I find C89 to be much nicer to be honest.
The actual application step might take that long, assuming you have all your supporting documents ready. The trouble is you often need to adapt your CV to the job & write a cover letter at a minimum. Depending how much…
Hit the nail on the head. A more appropriate comparison would be if one worker went on strike, not all of them.
In my view, bachelor's degree is beginner, especially if you haven't got any further knowledge than that from work experience or anything.
