For the “simple” apps anon is talking about, they are exaggerating a lot. Though, when you get beyond the obligatory “Hello World” and “a window with a button”, the complexity does start to increase exponentially.

Throwing in frameworks like Spring or JavaFX does make things more complicated. But it’s still relatively manageable once you get used to it and know what goes where and when.

Now the whole configuration thing, that’s an art form best left to those hooded “seniors”. It’s good to learn eventually, but not when you first start out; lest you have a fetish for pain.

Java has come a long way. It’s not the languages fault that people create monstrosities like AbstractJavaFinalSerializedFactory or whatever. But if you do want to be “good” at Java, you will want to learn about design patterns. It also doesn’t hurt to have a thick skin too, because you’ll be both criticized and made fun of for your choices. 😊

If this is true, then it’s not a setting that users can access. At least not that I can find.

Best you can do is auto wipe after 10 failed pins.

Girl go brrrrr

I tell my kids that a) they must graduate high school, and then either go to college or learn a trade. Regardless, they need to be educated.

Neat. Thanks!

You can say the same things about sports betting.

It’s fucked up for sure. Investing is akin to gambling in Vegas. Any one otherwise inconsequential detail could completely bankrupt you, and we’re expected to pin our elder years on this system.

Burn in fucking Hell Raegan.

You and others are right. I shouldn’t be considering my desires above my son’s needs. That’s really all that matters.

That sucks that you’ve jumped to the conclusions you did, especially without even talking to me first. If anybody is putting the cart before the horse, I’d say it’s you.

I started writing up a long reply to defend myself, but then I realized that you’ve already made up your mind about me. I doubt anything I say would change that opinion. So be it.

I asked for advice, and you gave it. I will see if there is anything positive to glean from your response and I will see how it fits into my life.

Regardless, thank you for taking the time to reply to me. And hopefully next time, you’ll not be so ready to rip someone a new one before you take the time to understand them.

I don’t understand why they don’t just migrate .io into a non-country code domain. Hell, they could auction it off to anybody (company, country, or person) who wants it bad enough. Let it live alongside the other custom domains.

I did fail to mention that last night, when dropping my son off to trick or treat with her son, she invited me to go with them. I had to decline because I was taking my other son trick or treating elsewhere.

Thank you. I have considered the option you suggested. That’s mainly why I am wanting to be careful about this. I did take your suggestion about inviting her and her son to an activity with my kids. We’ll see how that goes.

“scent”

You are braver than I am.

Upvote for the screenshot in particular.

We’re kind of seeing that with those private jet trackers. But that’s not changing anything except getting those accounts banned from social media.

This should be illegal. There is absolutely no good reason this should be available to anybody. It should also be considered unconstitutional; if one of those dots is a person, whether you directly know who the person is or not, it should violate the right to privacy and the right of illegal search and seizure — no questions asked.

Because right now’s political climate is about how abortion is being billed en masse as murder, and people are having to go to other states to get abortions (even for miscarriages), so the states that bill abortion as murder want to be able to prosecute the women. So there are a lot of fears that states will be tracking women through tools like this, and it turns out the fearful were correct.

Not in my experience. You use a degaussing tool (which is an electromagnet) on crts when the picture gets all “wonky” (technical term).
