Does it really take 100 staffers to do what a video chat can accomplish?

I guess she is not entirely off, either. It’s called that because it is the second division of an hour.

Why would they have to go to the CS desk? the cashier can just change it right there. It happens occasionally where they scan too many items and have to void some out, it’s really not a big deal.

I understand, but the comment I replied to was implying that rent should somehow be less than mortgage plus insurance. My point is that under those circumstances, it doesn’t make sense.

I am not sure why you think it should be any way else with our current systems, though. Asking less means the home owner is effectively paying for maintenance and upkeep entirely out of pocket, and entirely net loss for them. That said, I also don’t think that means they need to price gouge and trying to make huge profits.

Use any flavor you like, there aren’t any rules

Around here we just have little stickers on the produce with a code number on it. Most produce is just stacked with no packaging. You collect as many as you want in a bag. At the check out, the little code number can be used tell what the exact variety is.

This seems a lot simpler than lazer etching to me, but idk, maybe that is really cheap and easy too?

Thing is that it has been shown that the cost doesn’t add up. Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 are both games you only pay the cost of the box, no on going subscriptions and they are able to continue running the servers and infrastructure just fine. 15$/mo just doesn’t make sense.

I went through this a couple years ago. Decided Jeff Bezos does not need any more money, cancelled prime. Funny this was that most things ship the same as always, get them in like 2 or 3 days.

In fact, most other online retailers offer similar free 2 day shipping to stay competitive and I usually find stuff of Amazon first.

Any recursive algorithm can be made iterative and vise versa. It really depends on the algorithm if the function calls are a major factor in performance.

I have used DukTape in the past, it is an ECMAScript (javascript) implementation. The API is amazing, very consistent parameter and naming schemes, uses a stack based approach (feels like a better version of how lua goes about things). It is designed to be embedded. Documentation for the API is some of the best you will see, lots of good examples. It even has a debugger that you can hook into.

Can I ask why that is the case? I guess I hadn’t heard that it was so difficult before

In the US, they are quite popular.

These examples didn’t actually clear anything up for me 🙃

Does Synology Photos support shared albums where any user can contribute photos?

But with what computer?!
