I have done pair programming with a junior partner, and I found it extremely beneficial. Taking the time to talk out my ideas and logic invariably helped make them clearer in my mind and realize pitfalls much sooner than I otherwise would have.

I had to explain things clearly and logically, and he was bright enough to ask good questions and point out typos as I was coding.

In Ontario, any organization that receives provincial money must reach a certain accessibility level on its website, or risk having its funding removed.

The database app in LibreOffice, based on the Firebird database engine, can do all that.

*Je does

“doivent” is third-person plural (they, not I)

Oh, and I didn’t notice that autocorrect changed my French to English. Should be"dois" or, as you say, “devrais” for the conditional.

That’s one of the nice things about the law in Quebec. Binding arbitration clauses are illegal.

A drunk man on a commuter train in Japan was convinced that I was Mr Bean. I can see the confusion, we are both Caucasian with brown hair.

“Bean-san, Bean-san!”

I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.

Very happy with them.

The Expanse TV show is superb. I’m halfway through the books now, and in some ways the TV show is much better, in other ways the books are better.

There’s enough subtlety and complexity that I’ve watched the entire series twice, and I wouldn’t be averse to watching it again.

I got one from Prime Cables that not only has a magnetic attachment to the computer, it has different tips so you can use it for USB Micro, C or Lightning. The cable itself has little magnets so it coils up almost automatically.

A lot of his science fiction writing is available with a Creative Commons license, meaning that you can download and read it for free. I really enjoy his quirky, sardonic style.

Titles are typically written by editors, not the journalist who wrote the article. So what’s sympathetic article with a condescending headline makes some sense.

I’ve been using this for about 3 months. I would estimate that my dog walks are now about twice as long as they used to be. I don’t really enjoy walking, but this gives me just enough incentive to do it everyday and, if I feel like taking a shortcut, taking the long way instead.

You can also play at the Internet Arcade or Classic PC Games on archive.org.

The chainmail creators for tge Lord of the Rings movies made so much chainmail that they were their fingerprints completely off.

As someone who self identifies as on the spectrum ( I’m over 60, so I doubt I’m going to be tested, but I have many – but not all – typical autism traits), I would say that it’s true for me. I have never been close to people, even my own family. I’ve never had a very good friend, and when I move away from people, I typically don’t keep in touch.

Foe example, both my parents died in the past 2 years, and while I feel a sense of loss, no strong emotions. If I lost my wife or children, I think I would continue without feeling significant trauma. I know that I’m supposed to be devastated by those kinds of losses, but it just doesn’t happen. I don’t really have strong attachments to anything or anyone.

I don’t think I’m a bad person, it’s just the way I’m wired. I don’t like to see people suffer, and I have a strong aversion to conflict, so I don’t believe I’m a sociopath.

So count me In as one of the people who believes that autism can be related to a lack of empathy, based on personal experience.

I understand the concept, but I have never heard the term Native American used for anyone except the indigenous people within the United States of america.

That’s interesting. I don’t think I have ever seen someone refer to an Aboriginal Canadian as a Native American. Native Canadian yes, but native Americans were always south of the border in my mind.

That is completely terrifying. You must be spending a large part of your life desperately dealing with medical bills and trying to juggle the unreasonable requirements of the various parties.

And of course, having health insurance through an employer binds you to that employer, so you are less free to switch even if the conditions are otherwise deplorable.

You are wrong. This is the character for “correct”. “Five” is similar. Both have five strokes.

五 = five

正 = correct, positive
