    Looking for a reliable inkjet All-In-One printer for photos and docs

    It seems printers are hit-and-miss. For instance, I currently have had an inkjet all-in-one from HP for years in one room that's been used quite a bit and is still going strong (wireless). In the room I'm sitting in now, I have a different HP (cheaper advertised for back-to-school) all-in-one...

    Why does a division by zero produce an error or undefined message?

    I'm also confused about what the original questioner wanted to discuss - is it a question as to why do different OS's handle this differently or instead why it's not defined? Dividing by a number effectively asks how many iterations there are of a value in a quantity. The 'problem' seems more to...

    What are some pieces of advice for a struggling programming learner?

    Since you mentioned "presentable websites", often in many larger companies I had worked, there were programmers who wrote the guts of the presentation but not the presentation screen itself - since that also seemed to take some artistic ability and actually good practice. You may fit into the...

    Is it Safe to Schedule a Mammogram After Receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine?

    I thought it's been known for some time that many other types of infections cause lymph node abnormalities showing in mammograms. So this would not be something to be alarmed at for those who are worried about vaccine side effects.

    Are the COVID Vaccines Unusually Ineffective?

    This only emphasizes the need for therapeutics which should be stressed as highly as the vaccines were. Hopefully the Pfizer and Merck items will help.

    Programming language: what to study after the basics?

    I agree, if someone designs closely with the user, there is always a lot of satisfaction - also if possible a piecemeal approach to showing preliminary coding results and approval of some pre-QA type testing - along with, of course, user participation in QA testing. Lack of documentation seems...

    Programming language: what to study after the basics?

    True. And too often a programmer is most interested in being a great coder and not as adept at digging out the requirements - hence the need for a real analyst who can interface with the users. I agree also with the "quick and dirty" fixes comment - ugh. Lots of bandaids and trash code and yet...

    Programming language: what to study after the basics?

    My experience with the introduction of this to groups has proven your comment to be pretty valid.

    Programming language: what to study after the basics?

    I agree with your post on learning databases - they are really extensive, robust and extremely versatile in many respects and adapt to most operating systems. Too often those who can put together a sad SQL think they understand the entire concept of databases and drag their systems into some...

    Are the COVID Vaccines Unusually Ineffective?

    I'll see if they put this into a podcast but I don't remember any specific other than it's endemic. He does mention the same in his current posting on THEHILL.COM: "https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/572824-science-prevailed-in-fda-advisers-rejecting-covid-19-boosters-for-everyone" - he...

    Are the COVID Vaccines Unusually Ineffective?

    I think some of the discussion here centers on a statement I read some time ago on the internet that the mRNA vaccines were not legally considered vaccinations because they do not necessarily prevent getting the disease. I apologize that I don't remember where I saw that. Regardless, the J&J...

    Are the COVID Vaccines Unusually Ineffective?

    Dr. Amesh Adalja who is a contributor for THEHILL.COM spoke this morning on our local radio station KDKA and essentially supported your opinion that "even 100% vaccination will not eradicate COVID like smallpox was eradicated."

    Some 'lucky few' have 'resistance' or immunity to SARS-Cov-2 (Alpha?)

    My husband's cousin was hospitalized for over a month with COVID and has quite a bit of lung damage (no smoker, 49 years old), her mother-in-law, who she took care of , was quite sick from it as well but not as sick as her, and her father-in-law died from it (he got it from a visiting nurse)...
