Something else to consider is that while a person may die while having COVID-19, it does not mean that is all that they died from.
People in general may have several health problems, which is especially likely for an 80+ year old person.
Some healthcare activities have also been postponed since the outbreak, by the patients and also the hospitals, which may have led to less healthy people.
> That's a huge exaggeration. In what other field can a bright kid take a 12 week bootcamp and get a job that pays $80k?
They did specify "outside of a couple of tech giants in the USA".
Here in Europe, €30K would already be a good starting salary.
Personally, 10 years in, I don't expect to reach €80k.
I find it amazing how many different software development frameworks are out there.
After all these years I still haven't bothered to look up what React is, and I probably will never need to.
I will probably never get to maintain a codebase that uses it.
So if being 'up-to-date' isn't something I will go for, how do I measure myself as a developer? I think I will go for something like 'having made a lot more regular people happy than I have frustrated'.
Facebook and Twitter are social media companies. I don't think they count as technology companies the way i.e. a company that creates water purifiers and solar panels and such are a technology company. And those products are made in many countries other than the USA.
For me, Firefox on Debian, the only working shortcut is the Menu (which is not actually a menu in the normal UI sense, more like a menu in a restaurant).
Shortcuts are always difficult with web apps.
For this reason, I would always add an actual clickable menu to web apps.
From the description I'm sure that is the correct painting. The title in the original language is "De Gierigaard en de Dood". A simple modern translation would be "The Greedy Man and Death", there is no reason to translate it as "merchant".
Apparently there is a book devoted to the subject of accountants in the arts from 1400 to 1900: "Art & Accounting" by Basil S. Yamey.
There is a thin line between bold statements that lack nuance, and plain lies.
Order of events are relevant. It is important to know how he ended up in Russia in the first place, long before this asylum. And was declining the asylum really an option?
I get reactions of surprise or even disbelief when people I work with find out that I also enjoy painting and martial arts.
This gives the signal that there is something wrong it.
I really dislike this sort of comments and thinking.
It perpetuates the idea that people who want to work in tech must always be focussed on tech and cannot diverge from that.
Not all people want to be that one-dimensional.
You took that out of it's context. The "that" in that sentence refers to the previous sentence.
The poster is mentioning US and Israeli companies as places where quality is held to higher standards.
