I’m curious to ask if you evaluated Varnish Cache?

This happened to me, except the IRS calculated that I owed an additional 5-figure sum. not all information is sent to the IRS and they don’t yet have a way to determine a person’s situation. In my case, a form was missing from my filing that provided that context.

I agree. From my experience, a city does not have the budget for public housing, the free market doesn’t value it, and raising property taxes to pay for it is usually contentious.

So that leaves federal funding. Might as well use my taxes to provide funding for public housing projects.

Absolutely. I have personal experience with having a family member who was homeless due to mental health issues. Unfortunately, housing was not the solution for them nor was it the right solution. They were homeless for a couple of years before volunteering to be committed. Due to their illness, it was not safe to house them with family or around others who are on the road to recovery.

The system is slow and challenging to navigate and eventually (after several years) my mother was able to navigate the system to become a court appointed guardian.

On the other side, I have also been in government appointed committees that set housing policy and have had to listen to many “experts” explain that housing is the solution for homelessness and their suggestions is usually along the lines of “relax the codes and permitting process so builders can build more homes”. Needless to say, I’m somewhat sceptical of this argument but that is probably mostly due to my own bias.

Imho, I think our tax money should be going to social services and universal healthcare.

When we had Uber in Oslo, they were safer than taking a taxi.

Tractors are considerably expensive. Yes, there are other brands, but they too have issues.

Finding the right tractor for a farm is a time consuming task, and currently it will take 6+ months to receive a new tractor.

Swapping a tractor requires having another tractor for farm tasks, or delaying farm tasks until the swap is complete. Delaying farm tasks is not really an option, as that can negatively impact the overall operation.

Another thing to think about is all the tooling, equipment, and accessories that are used with a tractor. These also have requirements of what type of tractor is used, and which features it has.

having a conversation about HTML semantics and browser features is great, but is it really different than live coding or white-boarding?

Those too are “conversations” that are testing someone’s ability and knowledge.

Do you have a link to Norway’s rules for prepping?

AngularJS or Angular? I was a hold out with Angular 1.x. As a library, it was great.

My team understood the strengths and weaknesses, and we utilised almost all of the features that it provided.

The >2.x releases didn’t provide much value for us, and didn’t solve any problems that we had. So the motivation to migrate and refactor was low.

I still think Angular 1.x is a decent library, and have often contemplated contributing fixes/security to a fork.

I agree with OP. Even though it may be a book for children, it is worth reading.

My opinion, It has been trending to have longer and warmer summers for several years now. (Source needed)
