I don't miss it either, I carry a practically ancient Lumia 830 as my only device. My rationale is similar to yours, any time I have to touch an Android phone I get frustrated with settings being spread out across five different screens for the same application.

I love the alphabatized app list that I just have to swip once to get.
It has enough basic apps for me to get by. and serves my basic needs to email, web browser, Reddit app, weather app, and a few other miscellaneous third-party apps that do what I need.
At over three years old I still have a battery that lasts all day. A camera that works well enough. And I don't have to think about paying hundreds of dollars for a new phone that likely won't change my day to day life in the slightest.

Then it is probably in the password list databases floating around and is used as one of the first 10,000 straight up guesses against the hash.

Once it is popular the technical strength becomes irrelevant.

Cycling does cost a bit more to get started, however I have made it work out to my advantage by cycling to work every day, saving the cost of a second car for the family. When you compare a bike to a car, you can spend a lot of money on the bike and gear each year and still come out in the black.

Part of the issue is that normal business/business casual attire has men in long sleeves and pants, where as women often opt to wear a skirt and something short sleeved, both of which are much cooler than the dress pants, long shirt and tie. If women chose to wear warmer clothes as their main layer, they wouldn't have quite as much of a problem.

Reminds me of a Spanish teacher I had in high school who would make you go wash your face with cold water if she caught you dozing, that an making the guys do push ups to get the blood flowing.

A voice of reason.

Similar setup here, my wife just switched to Fido after unlocking her HTC One. The plan is $15 cheaper if you bring your own device.

In a project I am currently working on we have started using the C# goto case "state" construct.

In this case it offers us a huge performance improvement as the state machine only executes one step when it receives a heartbeat from a piece of networked equipment. The heartbeat only comes in once a second and there are instances where we can perform more than one step of the state machine without needing a response from the remote equipment.

An example of this is uploading files to the remote equipment. We use a Web Socket to establish the transfer task, but once we start sending files (HTTP POST) we don't need a response from the remote equipment between each file. Prior to the use of the goto we could only send one file every second, now we can loop through all the files by looping with the goto.

This is a specific example, but does show that there are limited instances where the use of a goto can be well justified. I also always comment every use of non-standard behavior (use of goto)

Good luck with that. This experiment has been running since Aug 20, 2013 and running almost continuously at that. Even the heaviest consumer/prosumer work load would have trouble reaching the amount of data written in this experiment.

I am sure someone has done it with platter drives, however it would take substantially longer to reach the same transfer quantities as the SDD's have much higher transfer rates than the spinny drives.

Now there is a new born in the house, this creates hours in the evening where all you do is hold the baby and watch Netflix.

I have had Alpha Centauri on every computer I have owned since it came out. Such a fun game, you can play at a high difficulty and fight for a early finish, or play a lower difficulty and just tech to the hover tanks for a late world domination.

Currently I am playing Sid Meir's Railroads, thanks to the Humble Bundle. I can't believe I never played any of the Railroad simulators before.

The issue wasn't that there wasn't a sufficient hospital in Ecuador, just not on the Galapagos Islands which are almost 1000 km off the coast of Ecuador. "In smaller communities and in the Galápagos Islands, services are limited, and the quality is generally well below U.S. standards." Travel.State.Gov

I don't know where you have been for the last few years because stamps in Canada no longer have a face value for domestic letter mail. They have a 'p' on the stamp and is sufficient postage for mailing one standard letter envelope even if the rate goes up since you purchased the stamp.

I'm just over the water in Victoria and as a cyclist believe there needs to be more enforcement of the laws around cycling. Enforce the helmet laws, put laws in place regarding bike lights, I would even go so far as implementing a license system for any cyclist over 15.

I just about got run over at a stop light cross walk while walking with my 3yr old by a guy on an electric assist bicycle who didn't think he had to stop at a red light. People like that make my blood pressure go up instantly as they are the reason drivers dislike cyclists.
