You don't have to be around computer with your phone, just connected to internet. I opened whatsapp webui on my Linux computer (via vnc) in the USA while sitting in Germany on my phone.
Couldn't you do this in any language? Either write a do while or write a infinite loop with true as condition and then write breaks in the loop itself?
That's what I mostly do in java, write a while(true) and then either come back to change the condition or write break in the loop.
US senator from Illinois called out reddit specifically. That's the reason, I think. Reddit won't do anything unless they get get called out by media or government.
I am using whatsapp since 2012 (or even earlier) if I remember correctly. I paid $2 a year for 5 years to use WhatsApp. The reason being I have friends and family all over the world including different parts of USA, canada, Dubai, Singapore, Australia, India, UK etc. Whatsapp was the best tool for communication. And as you suggest stories and statuses are a part of whatsapp, it's just a second thought at the best. Out of hundreds of my contacts, I can count people who post stories and statuses on one hand.
Those features are not standing in the way of user's migration to signal app as far as I can tell.
I've been using WhatsApp for a similar length of time, maybe since 2010 or so - I had no idea WhatsApp even had such features beyond messaging, file sharing and videos calls, and I've no idea what "stories" or "statuses" even are. All I want is those core features.
BMI isn't a reliable indicator go gauge obesity FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON. I would think most of us agree that the people like Tom Brady, Dwyane Johnson (the rock), or competitive body builders would be extreme ends of this scale.
BMI assumes you have an average amount of muscle. Any weight above that is assumed to be fat. So for someone like the Rock it treats a lot of muscle as though it were fat.
Heh! Facts are always relevant when you are debating in good faith. People who find facts not supporting their beliefs argue dishonesty that doesn't mean facts are not relevant.
Would really depend on what you do isn't it? If you are backend developer, I would say jump with both feet. If you are someone who uses adobe suite etc,
Linux is no substitutee for mac.
On top of my job, I do consulting for couple of places. I have two macs, but for my main gig, I use Linux. It's much easier/comfortable for me to code on Linux and do everything with terminal, write quick scripts and not bother with forced updates.
This is great. I was trying to pick a language to teach my kid and I wanted to start with BASIC as that's what I learned as my first language, but I couldn't find a working editor that could compile and run by click of a button. So I started with python. But I think BASIC would be easier to teach. This will allow me to do that.
How's that going? I learned on BASIC around 1990 but it was cool then because you could do things that were in-line with the fun/game state of the art.
Today what you can do in BASIC is "boring" compared to the most "basic" fun the kid can have on the iPad. Are you finding traction?
You've maybe (probably?) heard of it but Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu) is a good "code-like" system for when kids are really young. You still have a way to go from 4 months of course, but I imagine it might be a bit easier to gain traction with something graphical (and colorful, and animated, etc.) than with what amounts to text editing.
We just started. It takes time for it to click. But we are making progress. I enjoy seeing his face light up when he writes something that works as intended.
You could check out BlockStudio [0], a programming environment without text (I created it). It might make teaching/explaining computational concepts more tractable with such a young child.
What are you getting at? How is having homogeneous population causes less corruption in government? There are many asian and african countries with homogeneous population that are extremely corrupt.
Other countries do have 24/7 TV channels and other media.
I think the assessment should be paired variables of homogeneous populations AND small populations, since countries in Asia and Africa are counter examples, however, Denmark and other countries touted as good examples are both homogeneous and small in population compared to the US.
> Other countries do have 24/7 TV channels and other media.
Yea and they spend most of that time complaining about Trump. And if they aren't, then people will go to Reddit, or some social media site to do it.
> What are you getting at?
Countries with small, homogeneous populations are going to tend to be less corrupt and better governed. It's more difficult to be a jackass in Iceland than it is in Brasil.
