My wife pointed out to me a couple of years ago that I was simultaneously the oldest person on our Dev team, and the youngest person in our church.

I think that you are off by about an order of magnitude. Spotify pays $0.003 per stream, and title apparently pays $0.01 -0.05.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table.

As explained in that excellent documentary “Bubba Ho-Tep”

Surely people haven’t forgotten how he would (and still sometimes does) emphasize Barack Obama’s middle name.

As a deranged Republican once said about Obama, “he’s a Muslim…and an atheist”.,

I could see UV light also causing plastics to oxidize and become brittle much faster, because they might not be made for that kind of exposure. So using UV light might mean having to replace a lot of plastic things too.

I use them all the time, for phone calls and for podcasts, and it drives my wife crazy.

It’s actually no different from someone having airpods in, just less visible.

I don’t know about in the us, but here in Canada I can get hearing aids at Costco for about $1,000 each. And the provincial government kicks in $500, so I could get a pair for $1,000.

Still a significant amount of money, but within my budget.

Costco’s hearing centers also employ licensed audiologists (minimum of a master’s degree), rather than “hearing aid specialists” who have just done a two-year college course.

I strongly recommend [Language Transfer ](https://language transfer.org). The best language course I have ever done, and I have done many (I speak five languages, at varying levels of fluency).

They have an app, that is simple, streamlined, and very functional.

The app also has also an Introduction to Music Theory course which people say is very, very good.

It looks like loonies and toonies are, at least the outside ring of the toonie. And Canadian dimes are, although American ones aren’t.

There was a New Wave band back in the 70s called Sniff and the Tears. I think they were ahead of their time.

You don’t understand. Once they get what they want, no request will be illegal.

It says that you can sign up (free) to read 3 articles per month, which sounds pretty reasonable to me, as these things go.

In the Pulitzer prize-winning book “The Soul of a New Machine”, Tracy Kidder writes about a microcode programmer having to deal with timing in nanoseconds. One day his desk was empty and there was a note on the monitor saying that he was going to live in a commune, and no longer deal with any duration shorter than a season.

It could be that this is a habit left over from pascal, where result is a reserved word, and is automatically made the return value of the function.

If it is in the context of a short function, I don’t see that it’s all that bad.
