Best is when the API doesn’t match a PDF and says “500: Internal Error”

I like the concept and I think the use case is almost covered by generating API client through generated OpenAPI spec.

It’s needs a bit of setup but a client library can be built whenever a backend server is built.

I don’t, but some people are weird.

I’d personally never go but there are people who do war zone tourism. I could see why a person would want to experience a full on propaganda tour made by an totalitarian regime with all those cold war era propaganda art.

There’s a reason to go there other than to say you have, but it’s not worth the risk for most people IMO.

I feel like a lot of people here assume that you’re going to be automatically arrested when going to DPRK but it’s not completely true. You can get easily arrested and you have to follow strict cultural/government imposed rules.

The DPRK previously has done a “put it’s best foot forward” and keep tourists in a bubble where you’re not allowed to take pictures or videos unless in specifically permitted zones. It’s essentially a propaganda tour.

So you definitely can go to the DPRK as a tourist but for the love of god follow their rules to the letter.

One of Putin’s main support comes from his “Keep Russians safe” narrative. It’s also diplomatic currency in case they start negotiating peace

I bought a used desktop with 4 SATA ports. Has i5 7th gen and currently 5 TB and an 500GB SSD and has max ram of 64GB. I guess the HDD are not included in the price?

I’m not sure what your software requirements are but if you go the DIY route a desktop works. I made the BIOS auto turn on on power restored and have services start on startup so it gives the server feeling.

Bonus is that you can use it as a gaming server and upgrade the components easily for a while depending on the motherboard.

Ruby syntax is nice although I prefer python way of enforcing indentation instead of adding "end"s. Personally I just want a statically typed language with enforced indent as syntax.

On braces are not used in if or for statements

Who’s going to write the extension so that they are all hidden and automatically inserted?

How about a non-partisan court system?

He’s pro Israel but a solid choice electorally.

Shapiro as the VP pick looks likely. Sigh

Faroese and Icelandic are mutually intelligible so you can cross one off. :)

Speak Finnish and then slowly devolve into Estonian

It sounds like she was concerned about the Uber driver and didn’t feel like you didn’t make her feel safe. I think it’s an overreaction on her part but it’s still real feelings.

You can’t win those arguments, you just have to stay calm and say that you’re sorry for not coming down as she was arriving. Then maybe ask if the driver made her feel uncomfortable or whatever.

She doesn’t want answers, just empathy and a feeling that you care about her safety.

Having a good relationship with coworkers is in general great in my opinion and talking about personal life, politics and religion can be avoided with for example:

• “I’m not that into politics”
• “sorry, I don’t like talking about religion”
• “Sorry, that’s a part I like to keep private” Also always steer conversations towards work topics and problems.

Then there are ways to differently stop conversations like

• “Sorry, I’m feeling tired today” < all nurses should relate
• “Sorry, I’m not in the mood for talking right now”

Then there’s the general fact that often you don’t really don’t have to say anything as long as you listen and ask exploratory questions. I’m autistic and can barely keep a conversation going but this goes pretty well for me without a lot of effort. Just say stuff like:

• “So you’re saying that [literally rephrasing their point]”
• “So does that mean that…”
• “That must have been tricky”
• “That sounds hard/tricky/difficult”
• “Did you manage?”
• “So what did you do/end up doing?”
• “That sucks”

And if they somehow end up being sad and almost crying which happens more often than I’d like to admit you can just say “That sucks” put a hand on their shoulder and wait.

Another option would be to invite them to silence like:

• “I’m spent, do you want to sit over there, relax and eat in silence?”

People are sometimes uncomfortable with silence but not as much when it’s on purpose.

It’s just conversation lubricant. If you feel like the conversation is interesting then “Have you thought about doing X?”.

I can’t stress enough how much people will like you by just actively listening.

But always, be like the British monarchy, never take sides. Instead propose neutral hypotheticals like “Maybe they were having a bad day”. I’ve been in my fair share of gossip but acting as Switzerland manages to just avoid most of it. When people say “Why are you hanging out with X” then responding with “They never did anything to me”. If really pressed for opinion then say “I don’t know all the details so I can’t really give an honest opinion”. If they still press you after that you have my condolences since that’s toxic.

They have massive amount of soldiers and are good and making artillery and missiles. It is a big black box however since they haven’t been engaged in a conflict recently so all their troops lack experience.

Their economy is practically built for conflict so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.
