I would buy a license, but it seems version 15 should be coming out soon based upon previous releases. Even with a 30% discount might be better to wait until the new release.
The wife started trying raise Monarch butterflies this year. We bought a great deal of milkweed plants, about 25 pots. Every day she would tend to the milkweed then brings in any caterpillar or larva she finds. Throughout the last seven months the number one issue our Monarch population faced was the Tachinid flies.
I don't know the exact number of larva eggs and caterpillars she brought into the house, but an educated guess would be around 250. The vast majority of the Monarch population was decimated by the Tachinid flies. I would say about 85% of them died as a result of the flies. Another cause we witness is when a caterpillar would expel green liquid then die. Still not sure the cause of them. Most info I could find pointed to toxins, like weed killer. We would wash the leaves after first reading about the toxins, but the caterpillars would still succumb.
In the end, I think only about 20-25 were well enough to be released. It has been very disheartening to see so many of them die.
The police did have a no-knock warrant, but they did decide to announce themselves. It was her boyfriend that started shooting first then the law enforcement returned fire. Yes, let's call a spade a spade, her boyfriend was the cause of her death and even tried to blame her after the fact.
Cool, so to clarify, you're asleep in bed, you hear someone smash down your front door, and you exercise your 2nd amendment right to shoot at the home invaders who are not actively saying they're police the entire time. The only people who can back up the statement that they identified themselves are the police who mysteriously can't provide body cam footage, despite body cams being available.
Her boyfriend shot at armed intruders. Who then hung around while she died, without providing any aid.
The purpose of a no knock warrant is to provide cause to execute people.
I bought into Google Pay back when they had the intro price of $7.99 a month and have kept it ever since. I don't really listen to Google Play, but every now and then I do. The primary reason why I keep it is so I don't have to watch the ads. For me, the cost of $7.99 is well worth not having to listen to the ads. I know not everyone would feel the same.
No sane person believes the numbers coming out of China. As countries start testing more for the virus the numbers will continue to grow. Very easy for a countries line to flat line if you don't test for it.
But I know people in the region I work with on a daily basis and by their account there are no masses of people dying everywhere and some of restrictions on movement were lifted.
If the infected population grew exponentially China would be flooded with bodies long ago but that does not seem to be what is happening.
China might not be believable in many things but it is difficult to hide millions of people sick or dying.
Points taken. The CCP controls all media, the story, and the narrative. I personally don't see the infected nor the deaths in the US, but this information is disseminated through via media who gets there data from the CDC and other government agencies. The CCP hide the details about the outbreak for some time and only got out via individuals who broke the news at severe fear of being punished by the CCP.
I do work with people in China, who doesn't these days, right? They report the same thing I see which is I don't see the infected or deaths directly, unless working in health care. My industry is tech so the individuals that I work with will not have first hand accounts. They only know what the CCP informs the public and we all know it is a well formulated narrative.
I believe we will never know the true depths until the CCP is finally overthrown and details are released after that time.
I find this focus on CCP not healthy for the learning process. Certainly something to take into account but your preoccupation with it seems to be excessive.
There seems to be no reason currently to disbelieve Chinese numbers. They are encumbered by unknown, possibly very significant measurement errors, for sure, but so are european or american ones.
Due to nature of exponential growth I think it is unrealistic to believe that the virus grows rampant. All signals point to Chinese economy coming back from the nap and I find it difficult to believe that would be happening if internally Chinese state was still struggling to get the virus under control.
Just use Occam's razor. The simplest explanation, given no facts to point otherwise, is that Chinese state used its power and control over population to actually successfully push back the spread of the virus.
Check the reports coming from Italy/Spain that the Chinese test kits they've received are only 30% accurate. Testing 10 known infected the kits reports 3 are infected, and 7 as not.
So if China is using similar kits, which is what is supposedly happening, they could have almost 3x the cases they are reporting.
Or, they are shipping inaccurate tests to rest of world to "help"
It does not matter much whether the tests are 30% accurate. See... this is exponential growth. Due to its nature it will overrun any linear factors in a short time.
What if the reported Chinese numbers are only 30% of reality compared to US numbers? If you understood the nature of exponential growth you would know it will take just about 4 days for US to have three times the numbers China has.
It currently only takes US about 8 days to increase the number of cases tenfold (see here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) which means 4 days to get 3 times increase.
What really matters is to get people to stop moving around and spreading the virus.
Recently I was looking at their laptops, but with a resolution of only 1920x1080, unless I wanted to buy one of the thicker laptops, was a deal breaker. Perhaps once they start making their own they will bump up the resolution, but until then I will wait.
I had used UltraEdit Studio for years, but with some changes to the UI (yes, can always go back to toolbars), but the intellisense couldn't handle mixed C and C++ projects at all. Thankfully, VSCode came out about that time. Large majority of my office use VS Code.
This release is especially helpful to me, along with the remote tools updated. Prior to this release bundle one would need to type in their password twice, but they have reduced it to just once. There is still improvement to be made in this regards. For example, when switching projects it will prompt for a password again. Essentially opening a new instance, but if they can use the same instance so I don't need to retype my password.
The only download side I have encountered recently is their C/C++ Tools as the parsing seems to have issues. Still, over all a fantastic code editor.
The results may be slightly skewed towards the languages/market segments their tools target. I have been an embedded developer since the late 90's and have a CLion license, but since they don't fully support Make files out of the box this tool doesn't fit within my development flow. One of the problems with CLion is its steadfast reliance on the output of the build to support CTAGS/Intellisense (sorry, I forget their specific terminology).
