So if flies are attracted to dead things, and black and white stripes deter flies, then I believe we've just explained Beetlejuice's appearance!

but instead you had to showcase your ignorance, or alternatively you deliberately tried to inflame a controversy out of nothing.

Yes VOA, which is what is linked to, does say the source is Reuters, which I'm sure we've both noticed is not the WSJ that Reuters refers to in the article, which would be the primary source of this information ostensibly.

Well you know the old saying: "If you can't trust VOA, America's official propaganda arm, then who can you trust?"

With representatives like Democrats, who needs oppressors?

Frankly at this point getting that wrong is a better indication of being a human than getting it right.

Not averse to the idea, but why so? What's the advantage?

Yeah outside of Java I'm wondering if I might have to start learning some OpenGL/Vulkan stuff for graphics.

 

So I recently found that the University of Minnesota has an Open Textbook Library of textbooks that are licensed to be freely downloaded and distributed and figured I'd post the link here for anyone else who likes studying from textbooks and teaching themselves as I do (I've reread my own textbooks repeatedly from years ago because I'm apparently a bit odd as I've been repeatedly told). Is this the right community for that or are there any others that would be good to cross-post to? Was recently reading the sociology textbooks because those are the ones that seem to reference Marx and Engels a bunch.

 

So I've done a bunch of application development in windows in C# and Java, and while Java stuff is pretty similar in Linux with Swing I'm not as confident in C# there (not too familiar with Mono), but I also want to diversify a bit too. Any recommendations?
