Isn't that premature optimisation? R&D costs money - it's surely a lot cheaper to cost down one working solution than to try to cost reduce every attempt.
That's why Windows is actively hostile - not losing data shouldn't require me to change settings or press the right button, it should be the default. On a mac, your data will be saved and restored in such a scenario.
Linux, on the other hand, was simply incompetent - the migration path way didn't ensure start up dependencies were correctly ported between init systems. Whoever was responsible for building the packages was obviously an untalented lazy hack.
Neither of these, or the myriad of other unpleasant flaws and foibles present on Windows or Linux, is unfixable, or even particularly hard to correct, but I don't want to have to waste my time computer janitoring. It's not fun, it's not an intellectual challenge, it's just a waste of my time, energy and finite life span.
After a long day at work, either smashing my head against against the codeface down the Linux-mines, or being assaulted by a wide variety of sadistic corporate-grade Windows software, I get home tired and worn out.
I can put on the TV, sit on the sofa with my macbook, and not have that paranoid feeling that it's going to do something unpleasant and surprising. It won't interrupt me demanding to update, and then reboot my machine without saving 5 minutes later, despite me pressing the button that looked like it said "Don't do that". It won't shart itself because upstream decided to replace upstart with systemd during the last update, and now it won't load vital start up dependencies.
I don't want my home life to be as arduous as my work life. I have precious enough time to myself without having to fight my computer.
The community can get fucked, nothing but a self-reinforcing pity party, inflicting mutual psychological self harm. The only benefit they provide is great cover, because of the stereotype of being awful, obvious, and dysfunctional. As for the umbrella: bunch of weekend warrior fetishists, lacking any conviction in their own identity, trying to steal validation from those who live it 24/7.
Thankfully, medical practitioners can take a slightly more nuanced view of things, and don't take things at face value. Even to my untrained eye, it doesn't take long to notice that it's more akin to an simulation of social behaviour, than a fluent exchange - as such, it has all the hallmarks of the autistic behaviour.
Where autistic men tend to latch onto trains, or other similar obsessions, many of the autistic women I've known have, at some point in their lives, become fixated on social interactions. The result is, with a lot of effort, they can be quite socially functional, albeit a little bit peculiar. This probably also skews the results of the test.
I weigh my ingredients, but I keep boiling until it goes the right consistency when dripped on an ice cube, or crinkles slightly when you push a finger through it after allowing a dribble to set briefly on a plate. After that, I just dump it in pre-sterilised jars to cool down, and pop the lids on while hot. They'll seal themselves as they cool, and if you've put enough sugar in, you shouldn't need to worry about them being contaminated by air/transfer, so there's no need for a full canning-style sterilisation. That's how we do it in the UK, anyway. I've never had a jar of home made jam go off - most of my ancient ones are lost to crystallisation, not mould.
Preserving sugar is large grain sugar suitable for making jams and jellies. The theory is the smaller surface area results in less froth and scum. Jamming sugar is that with pectin added. I've never needed to add pectin, though - I've just added some lemon juice if I have trouble getting it to set. Frequently, my problem is the opposite, and I've got lots of over thick jam in the cupboard.
It sounds like a description of bilberries. They're absolutely divine, especially macerated in sugar and served with cream. Nearly impossible to buy, though, and a pain to pick. I think they're called huckleberries sometimes, but I think that can refer to other fruits, too.
It's hilarious what a whacked out idea you Americans have of socialism. To the rest of the world, this looks like a race between Mussolini vs Hitler. You're so far away from left wing politics, you don't even know what they look like.
noun 1. a thing made for a particular purpose; an invention or contrivance, especially a mechanical or electrical one. 2. a plan or scheme for effecting a purpose. 3. a crafty scheme; trick.
Except it's an asymmetrical distribution, not normal, i.e. Marilyn vos Savant (with an IQ of 186) does not have a counterpart with an IQ 14, because that doesn't result in a functional human (IQs bottom out somewhere around 48).

Your mom's vibrator needs more than 240V 32A.
Other than epicaricacy, you mean?

So it's a bit like being given the choice between Tory or Labour?
Funny, that sounds almost exactly like British democracy.
Ironically, being born into power can mean they are less corrupt than those who would seek it out.
Surely they just need to port systemd so it can run on the NT kernel?
I'm keenly awaiting their VBA backend for GNU Emacs Lisp, so it can finally take its rightful place inside Word!
No, they don't. That's just because you're a horrible human being.
Know how you can tell? It wasn't just boys who learnt by themselves, back in day.
You do realise scratch came out of squeak, right?
Presumably chakracore will already be there, whereas V8 won't. Size is important in IoT.
Grossly misleading articles seems to be Rud Merriam's speciality.
They should have used the excess heat to provide district heating to their neighbours - a lot become tolerable when you're cashing in.

The leading cause of jam not setting is insufficient sugar. A lot of people balk at putting in the same weight of sugar as they do fruit, though.

If you want to get more girls into computing, then it would have to be a BBC Micro - curse of Sophie, and all that...
