It may be partly due to how awful Angular v1 was. I know it put a bad taste in my mouth when I had to use it. But we stuck with it and things got way better with v2+.

Well said. I appreciate people on both sides that can simply acknowledge having kids is great for some people, and not having them is great for others, and the world is big enough for all of us.

> You’d think by your thirties you’d do some basic research.

I've often had thoughts like this, but had to just accept that people often don't do basic research. For another example, consider how many people work full-time (160+ hours per month) to make money, but have never bothered to take even a 2-hour course on how to manage it well. They spend all that time making money but no time on how to use it wisely. And then they make obvious mistakes. Unnecessary debt, lack of investments, complain that they never learned this stuff in school, etc. Not trying to sound judgmental, but I always found that surprising.

Yep, I use IPS monitors for this reason. Gotta avoid PWM to help prevent the headaches I experienced on other types. IPS looks really good too, so that works out.

For a few years I was hoping someone would create something like this, or I’d eventually do it myself. Thank you!

> Including third part stuff such as Cordova and Ionic that have more or less stopped development?

FYI - Ionic is in active development, along with Capacitor, their replacement of Cordova.

I recently updated my app’s target to the new Google guidelines and Capacitor made it easy with an automated cli.

One important difference is that in retail, you had to deal with it, or risk losing your job / getting written up. In volunteering, if someone is being a jerk to you then you can call them out on it. And I think it is less likely you’ll run into a jerk when you’re volunteering. It’s not like working at Walmart.

Our 1990 Miata has a parasitic drain too. We installed a battery disconnect switch that takes about 5 seconds to connect or disconnect whenever we use the car. It's a little bit of an extra hassle, but it was an easy solution.

Judging from the tone of his comments, he appears to be a troll.

I get where you were coming from but corrupt lawyers landed my handicapped brother in an unlicensed group home where he was mistreated and soon died. Lawyers can absolutely kill you.

What are you doing for meal prep now?

Agreed they have a brand to protect and that we shouldn't expect much from any university that could be described as a diploma mill.

Though I'm not confident that A-list schools are any better at curbing the cheating than an average university.

Just looking at some of the replies in this thread from people who were students and TAs at A-list schools, and from other conversations I've seen about this, they describe that cheating is rampant at prestigious schools too.

Which is amusing since students from those A-list schools are also cheating.
