It’s actually pretty good for a mobile game, it scratches that civ itch in 30 minute long games.

Reading books. There are some great books on programming out there. I would strongly recommend a A Players Guide to C#. It’s structure, practice problems, and explainations of the basics were far better than any free guide to programming that I’ve seen online. There are a lot of other great books out there too.

It also doesn’t matter too much about a book being outdated when you are only studying the fundamentals.

A lot of the stuff you read online has never been fact checked or edited for clarity. Some of it is great, but most of it is not.

No reasonable person should be afraid to be filmed dancing. The video was completely innocent and the principal at this school is clearly a religious creep.

In this world today there is also no way to avoid being filmed anyway.

That book was written by a socialist.

Multiple bus companies can be a good thing if done well. The busses in Taiwan are also privatized and the service is quite good. In Japan even the metro and rail networks compete in a private market.

When you privatize a company and make it a monopoly though you get the worst of both worlds.

It’s still a shame because the batteries are less environmentally friendly than the old trolley busses.

Developers will stop building once there aren’t any customers left, which absolutely does happen in countries that allow high density urban housing.

Lemmy is just too small so it doesn’t attract the same hard core crowd that it did on reddit. Lemmy also promotes controversial comments by default.

In a well made apartment building you cant hear anything from your neighbors.

Mao and most of the other early communist leadership were southerners. Most of the early KMT was made up of southerners too. I think westerners have this misconception that “Mandarin” is a northern language, but the standard Mandarin spoken in China is largely artificial, and has been a separate language for governance and education for centuries. No one in China back in 1949 would have thought of Standard Mandarin as representing “Northern” Chinese culture, even though it is based on an aristocratic dialect of Beijing Mandarin.

Some of the most endangered languages in China are natural forms of Mandarin in northern China, because it so similar to Standard Chinese and the government has no protections or cultural programs for them, unlike the southern languages like Wu, Minnan, and Cantonese.

China is a complicated country and it’s sad to see these misconceptions repeated ad nauseum in English media.

There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn’t help narrow down your options much at all.

Metal straws have gotten very popular in Taiwan, the home of bubble tea. It’s not that inconvenient to take a metal straw or other reusable straw with you.

Have you used Java before? It’s not a big leap from Java to C#, most of the concepts are the same. At least C# is a memory safe language, although I’m not sure if you’re unfamiliar with the code base and languages if it really makes a difference which language you use here. Hopefully your coworkers can help hold your hand a bit here, this situation sucks.

Look at many of America’s top companies and you’ll see they are run by immigrants. There is a huge demand for skilled labor in America and there aren’t nearly enough skilled Americans. If you stop immigration these skilled workers will immigrate to other wealthy countries and build world class industries there instead and outcompete the United States. Immigrants are by far one of America’s most important assets.

No, its the steam app that runs on Chromium.

Silent Hill 2 uses it unfortunately.

Never visit Europe then.

seriously，who has time to use a ping pong table at work? It’s like a decoration to remind you you’re not having fun.

I think the joy cons make it great for party games, it’s really convenient to get a 4 player game of Mario Cart going with just two pairs of joy cons.

It mostly works great online but Excel still feels like it’s lacking important features when it comes to writing and sharing automations.
