I've had houses where it was that bad, and others where it wasn't.
Comparing it to the plumbing from my stay in Russia. In Russia, apartments were set up so the whole building had one hot/old water supply, and a lot of pipes going around to each area. Meaning opening a couple faucets (or flushing toilets) of one type wouldn't drastically reduce that type's pressure. It's cheaper, no toilet flush issue (usually minor anyway), however, if others use up all the hot water, there's none left until the much larger tank reheats (so you have less control over your hot water access).
In some American style houses/apartments, they solve the issue by having larger cold-water intake pipes that feed the separate fixtures.
I write my C# apps in VS. I later run them in mono. Typically I don't have an issue.
Oh, I see, I don't agree with you and my experiences differ from yours, therefore I'm wrong. Got it.
Sad thing is, my experiences with C#/.NET is that they manage the design intent of Java, better than Java, even without that being the design intent. In part because MS actually freely contributes to the Mono project at times.
Outside of WPF, you tend to have to be working with stuff that is either fairly niche (code contracts / server side OData), or unlikely to be used in a non-windows platform (ASP, windows specific stuff from.NET 1.1) to run into problems, or be at the very cutting edge.
So, yeah, not perfect, but at least, unlike java, where it fails will be fairly well documented, rather than running into some random garbage issue, then googling it only to find some poor SOB like yourself ran into it years before and it's just never been documented.
I didn't say you couldn't do it on PCs, I said you could do it more readily on consoles. There's a very simple reason for this. A console generally has a very limited number of hardware configurations, especially on what gets optimized (CPU, graphics card).
No need to have the overhead of distributing a compiler, and you can also hand code things that a compiler may not be smart enough to plan for.
I'm not sure if it slipped your attention, but a lot of online communication, even if typed rather than vocal, tends to take the conversational form/tone.
Also, you can get "more horsepower" out of the same hardware in a console sense than a PC sense, because you can more readily optimize for that hardware.
It's a reasonable colloquialism. It basically indicates a strong tie of one sentence to the previous sentence. It is probably just a lazy way of avoiding run on sentances. And I think it does a great job at that!
That only works if there shot is low/no-cost, has a high chance of success, and there is a very high likelyhood of getting the flu.
I'm in my 30s, and gotten the flu once. I know many others who've never had a flu shot, and very rarely/never gotten the flu. Some of these people got a flu shot once because they had to, and then got the flu every year thereafter when they didn't get the shot, and quite a few when they did. Added that the flu shot can give a person flu like symptoms (but for a shorter period of time)...
Not of the presumptions needed for your analogy hold universally. Maybe in a general case, but there are some people for which getting a shot is worse than not.
only if you use/need the missing parts. Most don't.
Ex: if you don't use Entity Framework, WPF, and one or two of the listed "not implemented" big libraries, which are not hard to do without, you are very unlikely to have issues with Mono running an app compiled in Visual Studios.
Made a 1.3k PC two years ago... Kept the old Case/Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor/HDDs from my previous box... Still performs very well... Though a vid card update is tempting.
It could bring Linux to the desktop for the casual (web client only) user - i.e. a lot of users. But there'd be a lot more users who'd still want a dedicated Mac or PC.
However, by grabbing the dedicated web-client-only users, it would make an expansion market for a lot of software vendors. It could be the in-road Linux needs to get the desktop... Now that the desktop/notebook is being supplanted by the tablet.
My question is... Will I be able to run FreeBSD on it? It could make a nice little server, depending on the price/performance of the hardware.
Reasonable. They won't get many patients, and their premiums will be through the roof, so they won't be "working" for long, but the hospital won't have to fire them.
Logically, what you say is sound, but there's always the possibility of contributing factors that are unaccounted for, and it can't take the place of a few good experiments.
I could be wrong, but I believe the virus would also have the potential to be released with sweat, which could be transferred with contact or mutual contact with the same spot on a third object.
However, the viral content would probably be lower (again, a guess), and less likely to reach a point of entry - so, I think the sneeze/cough effect would be more of a reduction than an elimination of spread. Similarly, as another person mentioned, since the viruses would have shorter lifespans in the body of the immunized individual, there would be less expelled either way.
Mind you, as has been promoted for centuries, unless you are a fruitcake, logic and supposition cannot replace experimentation. Does anyone know of any experiments on this topic?
Not sure I'd like them being fired, but at the same time, patient health should come first.
Perhaps a better middle ground: 1) Collect what safety precautions can be refused on religious grounds. 2) Patients are given wavers, saing "I'm willing to be treated by employees who have not gone through (specify subset) of [list of precautions]". 3) Patients willing to be treated by this group, can be organized together where possible. If there is no group large enough to be handled by the professionals who refused the precautions, then the professionals aren't given a shift.
Should have the same results, but provides the hospital with a nice CYA.
Actually, I'm arguing that imperial isn't as fast and easy as metric, once you are equally familiar with the two, because in imperial the conversions are varied, where as in metric, they are very static, and part of the name.
*shrug* I initially used a half mile for a kilometer, and eventually got used to the kilometer.
Most of the mono libraries are a compatible subset of the Microsoft libs (with what is/isn't compatible clearly defined). There is the "incompatible" GTK# library, but you can download GTK for Windows and fix that problem quickly enough.
Yes, they won't implement some libraries (WPF... Which is garbage anyway, though enough people have drank that kool-aide, and parts the overly-convoluted entity framework), but those tend to be somewhat niche parts.
Java tends to use divergent native platform implementations for things such as regular expressions (at least it has up to 1.4 or 1.5, I've avoided them since) and doesn't document it well, while sticking to their own crappy implementations of things like SSL (which has had a wonderful OpenSSL implementation on pretty much every platform). C#/Mono kicks java's ass in this regard.
Hopefully this clears up why some of us disagree with the use of proprietary.
People get confused, when I answer "What's the best language to learn" with... C, C# or Python, Bash, Javascript and SQL.
Smallest set I can can cover that will have every base fairly well covered, though I could see swappin gin Java or Perl for C# or Python, and csh for bash...

That could be fun...
Your toilet/urinal flush mechanism works... just for a different toilet urinal!
I think the only tech that people take seriously if it were promoted/introduced by Billy C, would be computer controlled sex toys.
They would take interest, and immediately not want one.

Fortunately, the research if fairly simple...

No, it just means their bullets would only target cancerous growth in breasts.

Possibly, but at the rate of sequencing these days, it could help narrow down the search.
No, it's not formally correct.
It's very much allowed, it just ceases to be formal English at that point. Most people do not communicate using formal English.
Yet you managed it.

Eh. Half a mile is kindof garbage (2/3rds is probably better), but it's a good quick & dirty ballpark that usually works fairly well.

No, the vaccinate you against what they guessed last year, would be this years flu. They aren't worthless, just a gamble.

No, the mono libraries are NOT incompatible.

No, they are adding (and promoting) a javascript option, but that does not mean C# isn't supported under the latest platform.
OK. I'll get behind the right tool for the job...
