That sort of attitude is the problem. Building the application and writing the code is half of the project. The other half is documenting it. Yes, you'll spend twice as much on the project, but that's counterbalanced by someone else picking up and improving it a lot faster. Also, undocumented code is a half-assed job, no matter how well it performs.
I am saddened to say that the lack of proper, structured documentation, combined with bad experience every time I asked a question on OFSS forums kept me away from OFSS in general (and Linux, more specifically). Every year I try again and I am seeing the same results. I know I might ask questions perceived as "stupid" but everyone's been a newbie at some point in time. Maybe it's just my turn to be one. Thing is, once I get the correct, detailed answer I never ask the same question again but I almost never get the answer, just "RTFM" and "haha noob" with the obligatory variations.
Of course, I've been trying to ask very specific questions, I've provided detailed information on my issue and was very polite myself. Still was met with smug and bile.
In all fairness, creating documentation is something that almost nobody wants to do. I get that. However, politely answering a question shouldn't be that difficult.
Yeah, when you limit aggression to "physical only". Social success, at least in the last century, more specifically in developed countries, usually involves the participant being able to "step on dead bodies" on a figurative level to succeed. I'd venture to say a high level of testosterone reduces empathy but in a more cunning way. A history of high physical aggression makes one succeed on an immediate scale (beat that dude, take his candy) but has no long term results. On the other hand, being able to wait (befriend that guy, hang out together, manipulate his relationship with that hot blonde, get the hot blonde) yields long term positive results.
In other words, what you're saying has nothing to do with how testosterone impacts a person's lifestyle. Rather, what you're saying is impacted by other traits (education, character buildup, social interactions).
What the hell are you talking about? I am Romanian and we have healthcare for all our citizens. Not stellar but it's there. I merely pointed out that a certain action with big impact is usually named after the high profile person who initiated, oversaw or approved it. It's a fact.
Putin Government Moves To Take Control of Russia's largest space company Energia
"Putin Government"... instead of just "Government"?
Because it happens right now, yes. 100 years ago it would gave been "Tsar's representatives". It's exactly why "Obamacare" is mentioned as such, and not simply as "care".
One of the bigger cultural differences I've found working in both the U.S. and Scandinavia is that American meetings are long, unpredictably scheduled, and really disorganized.
They're also intentionally made that way. Therefore, nobody is really accountable and nobody really has to do anything about whatever problem is discussed, and they can all blame it on the "didn't quite get what was supposed to be done" thing.
No, seriously. I would like to sort by app age (time elapsed since it was first published) then average # of updates/month. Then take that output and breakdown by category. Or breakdown by free, freemium, shareware, paid, paid for by ads, etc.
As an Android user, I loathe using Google Play to look for software. I have 5 games on my phone, all casual, the sort of things that you play while waiting for the bus or on the loo, and still I get shitty recommendations like Batman Arkham Origins (I hate Batman), Holly Hobbie and Friends Party (seriously??? what the fuck!) and Fantastic Eleven (I only watch the World Cup and European Cup, and only if I have time).
Under "Recommended for You" I see "in the Mood for Romance" (HUH!), Muscle Meals (the fuck, I don't cook), and so on, and so forth. Golden prize goes to "Hairstyle Guide" e-book. No Scifi, which I love. recommendations based on installed apps ratings is flaky at best. I gave an app 2 stars (because it's mostly bad and I am looking for another), Google Play says "no recommendations based on your score" but when I give an internet Radio app a score of 5 stars (because it's awesome) it recommends me... more Internet Radio apps. It somehow seems to think that bad ratings mean "I don't need apps with that functionality" and good ratings mean "I'm looking for more of the same type" while it's quite the other way around.
The victims here are mostly innocent people who got on a plane without knowing exactly over which area it would fly. Except for a couple of them (the pilots). People who get on a plane know the departure and destination and maybe a couple countries they would fly over. Everything else is usually "some land beneath".
The ones that chose to fly over that region are not the passengers. But passengers got killed.
So while I agree that blame is spread between more than one entity, passengers have no place in that category.
It's been what, couple years since I heard of Graphene. It apparently could do anything bar French Fries... in theory. Any mainstream or even military implementations yet?
Let me know when it does something, for real, in real life. So far, it kind of says in the labs.
I can't be offended, I really can't. It's just that I realize when one can talk to people and when one can't. Reasons: 1. You make racial assumptions (they're wrong, by the way). 2. You make ad-hominem attacks. 3. You take the "we suffered the most" route (which nobody should, ever, this is not a fucking pissing contest). 4. Your judgment is clouded by subjectivism.
When a discussion is not constructive, I consider it as a failed one and move on.
Maybe it's the other way around. Maybe the phone is not a text input device because it sucks at doing the job right. Screen size is big enough. Capacity is more than big enough. There's plenty a reason to type on your phone. I, for example would love to do that while I take a longer ride in an intercity bus or car (as a passenger, don't get any ideas), or even while traveling by train (I'm a failed writer of sorts). I tried writing by hand in a paper notebook, but my scribbles look awful because I'm in a moving vehicle which constantly exerts forces (small but not negligible) so writing by hand becomes difficult. For the classic writing style I need a hard place to put my notebook on, stability and a comfortable position, none of which are available while traveling. But a phone would do the job a lot better. "Get a laptop" you'd say, but with bigger size, smaller battery life span and no good place to put it on (except own lap) it's still worse than a phone. Bluetooth keyboards are worse than a slide-out keyboard because they're not attached to the phone and eat up battery.
Another reason is IM conversations while traveling. They don't bother other passengers like talking on the phone does, you can do it with multiple people at once, doesn't really eat up bandwidth.
Yes, a cheap phone would do just fine but then I'd have to carry two devices which makes no sense. I understand this particular case doesn't represent "a market" but there might be a market if such a device existed.
About cost: I guess the extra cost would be negated if companies would simply stop spending time and money creating all that stupid bloatware they push on the damn phones.
Who gets to define "obscure"? From a culture wipeout perspective, yes it is a bigger loss. However, I guess there's nobody left to feel offended if that particular tragedy is played down, don't you think?
But you're abusing a logical fallacy. We're discussing WW2 happenings in this particular thread and more specifically my statement that "Jews were affected the most" - which, from this "targeted group" perspective, is a correct statement. They were targeted for extinction (the Chinese weren't). They suffered the greatest losses from a % of total population perspective, as much as over 90% in each of the top 5 countries where the Holocaust happened. This does give them the right to be sensitive, hell I would be if I were them, these sort of scars go deep and probably never heal. But saying "my people suffered much" is one thing, and saying "my people suffered much therefore I have more rights to this and that than anyone else" is an entirely different thing. No event, no matter how large, gives any nation/group a global, permanent "I am always first and always right" card.
Number of civilian Jews killed during WW2: 4.2 to 6.0 million
Until you measure as % of total population. China: 1.93 to 3.86% Jewish: 50.4 to 59.7%
It might be a cold way to look at it, but that's how you measure danger of extinction. So Jews were the most affected, as a whole. Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed (source: Dawidowicz, Lucy (1975). The War Against the Jews).
So... you were mentioning proportions? I guess hard numbers don't really cast the right shadow there.
No, a WHOLE NATION doesn't need face-rubbing. Whenever you do that to a whole nation, you antagonize that nation just a little bit more. Analogy: your drunken uncle rips a flower from your neighbor's tree and the neighbor goes to court and demands all your family to plant another tree in his garden. He's technically right to be offended or whatever but his demands are over the top. As a direct result, you start to dislike the neighbor. He could've come to your house and said "that flower, I liked that flower, you should pay me 10 bucks".
A nation always produces idiots. It's the way things are.
As an Eastern European, all I could tell you is: you're so very wrong. NOBODY in Eastern Europe is believing the Russians. We all know better, after being under their boot for 45 years or so.

That pretty much sums it up, sans all the foul words.

Wait, what?
The GP mentioned what people believe in Eastern Europe. I told him he's wrong. What does your comment have to do with Eastern Europe?
Number of civilian Jews killed during WW2: 4.2 to 6.0 million
Until you measure as % of total population.
China: 1.93 to 3.86%
Jewish: 50.4 to 59.7%

Weird. I had the exact opposite experience in Italy, Poland and Romania.
