The Train Architect

In the same way that no amount of money got us to the moon, with a bazillion other goodies as a side effect?

I recall reading that the Goldilocks zone for dwarf stars is quite closer to the star than for our Sun. So much so that the planets in that zone would most likely become tidally locked with the star (IANAA either). That raises interesting questions on the possibilities for life there. The environment would likely be much harsher - violent wind, big temperature difference on each side of the planet, possibly compensated for with atmosphere and oceans. On the other hand, harsher environment might also be a pressure point for more intelligent life to evolve, given that life would arise to begin with.

"you can do whatever you want to your own body and mind, just don't do it to anyone else".
I think you answered your own question - you should be allowed to smoke whatever you want in your own home, except if you have children or non-accepting spouse subjected to your chosen pollution. That out of the way, I pretty much agree with your take on this.

And you know this to be a fact, exactly how?

That's simply incorrect. You may use your FB account, or you can create a new Spotify only account, which at least is what I did.

Ah, the McFlys. Someone is his own grandfather perhaps?

Fuck you (country_name) is just as stupid here as it most often is. Do you feel personally responsible for every damn thing the politicians in your country do? Besides, this proposed lock-down is not gonna happen cause the minister in question will be out of office pretty soon (upcoming elections).

You might want to reconsider that. Take a special look at the what E Coli did, as predicted.

Perhaps the time is right for a COBOL browser plugin?

OP stated that JavaScript is not a full blown language. If he's not talking about computability, then another criteria might be IO control which is entirely possible in JavaScript like in most other languages. If he's not talking about that either but instead some missing language/syntax feature, then probably all programming languages fail that criteria.

JavaScript is Turing complete AFAIK. What do you mean it's not a full blown language?

I'm reasonably sure I would be watching it on TV too, but hard times for the public in USA (or Syria) don't make me happy.

You do realize that there are quite a few integers between 10 and 20, and between 20 and 30, that serve the same distinguishing purpose as your precise splitting into 40-50-60-70-80-90, don't you?

Maybe this new manager saw after few weeks that there wasn't really anything to justify keeping the dev around any longer?
