> Does the vast majority of people do more than one thing on their computer at a time?
Absolutely. Just looking at my wife, an office worker. Even when not working with whichever of 5 huge Excel files she has open, she is talking on Teams while working in a permanently open Outlook. Add a variety of internal sites which she constantly peruses. She just cannot have each single application taking the whole screen at a time.
Even if we ignore that most people who work on PC use multiple applications at the same time, at least in my experience also most office workers use at least 2 displays, plus the in-built laptop screen. Not sure if Android can handle 3 screens with each showing at least 2 applications by average.
Currently visible for me are 9 applications on 3 screens. Sure, I could minimize or close some of them (Keepass is not that important all the time), but I appreciate the convenience of having a lot of space.
It is not a crazy take. Both the number of passengers arriving for a particular flight and the number of seats available on a given flight is basically stochastic. It is good and proper that airlines optimise for the maximum revenue (after some compensation for bumped passengers) and in particular the maximum number of people flown, even if that entails overbooking. (Without overbooking, more planes (with more empty seats) would have to fly to transport the same number of people - why would anyone want that?)
Furthermore, a flight might be cancelled for any number of legitimate reasons (weather, strike, technical problems, crew limitations, change in government rules, etc.). A flight is not like a car trip (even though the aviation industry has been so spectacularly successful in delivering safe and reliable flights that people often forget that).
It is foolish, in my view, to rely on making any given flight.
If i where you i would stop use argumentation's like that.
OpenVMS has still the best Clustering tech...why is "nobody" using it? And btw p9 is very much used (WSL for example).
Linux is for sure not the best kernel, not for server not for desktop and not for mobile...it's good enough and everyone circles around it, it has some bacon for everyone (even if the bacon is sometimes disgusting).
There probably isn't a single example. But "quantity is a quality in itself". Classes sort of evolve when you need to manage dozens or hundreds of those associative arrays and don't want to keep in your head exactly what keys are in a given array. And when you have a dozen of arrays and a hundred of functions, which functions go with each array.
In itself every element is easy, but together they are hard.
There's a good reason to demolish much of that. It is overwhelming [1] in scale very ugly and not even painting it would help much. This building on the photo of Elista is nothing to look at.
But that photo from Makhachkala looks rather pretty and on a human scale. I imagine when the trees are green it must be a nice place (judging only from this one photo, don't know it IRL).
I agree it's indeed pretty ugly, but if you want to destroy every building looking that ugly, you will have to tear down half the cities in Europe -- and probably also many other places.
Honestly, without the written cyrillic, this could be many places in e.g. France or Italy.
I can only say I've been to a few cities here and there and nowhere did I feel as overwhelmed by the scale as in Moscow. Many of the cities remained not that high, London or Paris do not have such buildings in their city centers.
> That Paris thing is certainly bad, but it looks rather like a backside
I live in Paris; believe me, the best and the worst are two streets away. There are quarters in the 18th or the 13th that make OPs photo look like a dream.
Now there is a lot of subjectivity here, and to be honest, I'm not fond of the Warsaw building either, so I might be a very poor judge of modern architecture.
I agree that many if not most of these buildings are ugly. Many should be preserved though; normally this is done by a decision of a local body including architects and other experts.
These things aside, for someone visiting Crimea, for example, these buildings do matter a lot. They basically move you in time. You can actually get a strong feeling of things that you know maybe from very early childhood or mostly from books or documentaries. It is very, very different from anything you could see in the West.
I'm reading this but the "non-recommended" part is kinda tricky.
It would be one thing to, let's say, get vaccinated with a non-approved vaccine and claim damage, otherwise, unless, let's say AZ is excluded and maybe simply not "preferred" then it should be ok - as per 1. 1. which ok uses "empfohlen" (recommended/endorsed) so maybe it could be argued but I think it's more in favour of being in the scope rather than not
The "empfohlen" (recommended) in the law is usually fulfilled by the vaccination being officially recommended in the vaccination list by the STIKO of the RKI (roughly the vaccine working group of the German disease control office). But the STIKO very explicitly does not recommend AZ under the age of 60.
The Laender (states) may also recommend a vaccine, deviating from the federal STIKO recommendation. But they didn't really do that either, the wording is always very unclear and weasely around AZ. In several press statements, the phrase "auf eigene Gefahr" (at your own peril) has also occured. So I would wait for a clarification.
It might be the same space needed, but in another area. It's much easier to transport electricity than goods and definitively better for the air quality.
If you can produce electricity 50 km away and then produce produce in the city center, you are sparing the transport costs.
