I've been a developer for 25 years, and I enjoy reading the Dolphin blog. It reminds me that there are people out there who are incredibly dedicated, brilliant, and happy to solve technical problems just for the joy of it.
The length they go to to recreate even hardware bugs fills me with awe.
Even though the blog is filled with highly technical discussion, it is written clearly and excessively. I absolutely recommend it.
It may be because the Canadians were well known in both wars for not taking prisoners. That's not true in every engagement, of course, but in Normandy, after a number of Canadian soldiers were taken prisoner and then executed, their comrades would execute any Germans they captured.
You probably also don't know that the country with the most volunteer soldiers in World War II was India, than 2 million men.
Or that both Canada and New Zealand had mutinies where men refused to go overseas to fight.
There's a lot of fascinating stuff. I recommend the podcast We Have Ways of Making You Talk, for an informative and entertaining look at almost every facet of the war. They are up to something like episode #800 now.
I guess one positive thing is that I have never heard of sap delivering anything on time or on budget, so there is probably plenty of time for a decent competitor to grab market share
You might want to look at something like Drupal as an alternative to WordPress. Drupal tends toward a lot more open source for its plugins (which they call modules). As a developer myself, I also find it better engineered than WordPress, although maybe that's just because I used Drupal more.
I may be a bit too sensitive about this, because my Google news feed is filled with ads from companies in India that dress themselves up like CTV or CBC News stories. It's infuriating when I realize that I have been taken in once again. I have reported a few of them, but obviously Google doesn't care.
If we can get rid of the Indian gangs, then we are just left with the Chinese triads and tongs, the Vietnamese gangss, the Sri Lankan gangs, the Russian gangs, the Italian mafia, and let's not forget the homegrown biker gangs.
In Western quebec, along the Ottawa River, we have a citizens group that is working hard to get the word out about radon testing. Our local government has tested all of the schools, and is putting radon detectors into libraries so people can borrow them and test their houses.
Some municipalities in Quebec are requiring that radon remediation be done on any new house that is built, because it's significantly cheaper than retrofitting it.
Even so, the retrofitting is only a few thousand dollars, and I believe that the Canadian Cancer society will pay for half of that.
A podcast I listen to recently stated that between 10 and 20% of the North Korean population was killed by us bombing during the Korean war. 85% of buildings in the North were destroyed. They may have used more napalm there then in Vietnam. It was so indiscriminate that B-29 bombers were sent out with no targets, just told to go and bomb stuff.
It puts North Korea's hatred of the Americans in a bit of context.
I would be more inclined to believe that Trump has, with the help of Israeli and Russian security services, amassed comprising material on all, or almost all, national-level politicians, judges, and bureaucrats.
I think they should be upfront with people that when they go to her concert, they're not hearing her sing live, at least most of the time, and they are not hearing the band play live.
It should be obvious that no singer could do several 3-hour shows a week for more than a year, and not have it affect her voice.
Just check out the Wings of Pegasus YouTube channel, to see where two different concerts in different countries had exactly the same music (vocal and instrumental).
I know several people who spent thousands of dollars to see her in concert. I'm not going to go out of my way to ruin the memory for them. They got the experience they wanted. But I'm also not going to pretend that it was a musical experience.
