> diamonds being "non-negotiable" seems like a huge, glowing, neon warning sign

It's deeply ingrained in Western culture. Think about it like eating dogs. There's no rational reason not to use dogs for meat, but most Westerners would throw a hissy fit rather than eat dog meat.

So don't assume the prospective bride is unreasonable. In fact, assume the opposite, as she was able to read a rational explanation of the issues with diamonds, and change her mind.
This will get downvoted into oblivion, but here is some advice:

- Don't talk about prepping openly, you're making yourself into a target if things go south.

- If you're going to prep make sure you have firearms, or don't bother. Know how to use them or you'll just be prepping for someone else.
...Because if you're in USNE, you probably felt genuinely ill after hearing the nomination. Missouri, as well as the rest of the US Midwest, is famously comically red.

So if you're in a discussion about cultural differences between USNE and USMW, that's an entirely valid point.

Also, if you're in a red state, you might feel the need to tell people you didn't vote for Trump, because you want to make sure that you'll get flamed by the right people. If you feel this way, it's okay.
I wouldn't go as far as to call it horrible, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting.
I guess this prompts two questions:

1. Just what are you prepping for?

2. Are you willing to kill someone to protect your few months' supply of baked beans?
This is not true, or at least not universally true. For example, gameplay videos are also considered copyrighted as they contain assets and other copyrighted elements. Your "mad libs" example probably falls under a similar classification. A completed Mad Libs would still contain large distinctive elements of a copyrighted work.

In these cases, the EULA actually may contain clauses that allow you to distribute gameplay videos. But if they do not contain exemptions, it's copyright that will restrain you, not the EULA.

Now in the specific case of GNU Parallel, I don't see how the output would contain any distinctive elements of the original program. As a counterexample you could not use GNU parallel to process its own source code and end up with your own copyright on the output, however.

Also a fun fact; you can make a non-reversing mirror by putting two mirrors perpendicular to each other at 90°. When you look head on into both mirrors where they meet, you will see your image the same as others see it.
You could probably modify it to do this, yes. It's creating a transparent window that overlays the host window, so you could use the same technique to overlay the desktop with a transparent topmost window.

I've done this before for similar input purposes and the only caveat is that some applications are able to 'push' topmost windows to the bottom - there are some workarounds, though.

You can also do this with raw GDI (if you do the pixel pushing yourself) or with GDI+, since all you need at the base level is an ARGB buffer to feed to the windows compositor.

For example, I wrote an overlay for my dualshock4 driver that would visualize touchpanel inputs at the bottom right corner of the screen and describe the inputs it had synthesized from them.

T-Mobile started the slippery slope and legitimazed the idea of limited video with their "Binge On" program. If you turn on "Binge On", you only get down-sampled, bandwidth-limited video. The trade-off was that they agreed not to charge you for watching downsampled video. They also let you turn this feature on or off, so there's an upside.

But. There's a trick.

T-mobile now offers a single plan, "T-Mobile ONE." All videos are downsampled by default and you can't disable that without paying extra.

You definitely don't want to eat MREs every day for a month. You can't only have MREs.

It is a very important point to remember that Arpaio was in charge of the county jail. That means many/most of the people being fed rotten baloney sandwichs were awaiting trial. They hadn't even been convicted.

And there are people who have been in jail, awaiting trial for years, I think infamously there's one case in Riker's Island that waited 12 years to go to trial. Jails are every thing that is bad about prison made worse by constant flux, no one has to accept that these are the people they will have to spend years with.
Haha. It is indeed a pickle. Both mine and my girlfriend's families live in the South, which means eventually the only (world) city I'll be near is Atlanta, which isn't exactly a tech-haven at the moment.

You need to figure out your release cycle first, before creating/picking a workflow.

Will you only have one version of the app released at a time, (websites) or multiple versions (native, mobile apps). Will you have just one team or multiple teams working on the same app at the same time?

Answer these questions first, then and only then should you seek for a workflow.
Yeah. The real advantage of synthetics over naturally occurring is they don't come with human exploitation baggage or contribute to climate change.
I live in ruralish North Dakota so yes as having less that a week's worth of food in the winter is pretty poor planning. Get some stuff that you can eat without power. Plenty of places sell kits. Get something to purify water and get a radio and flash light (or lantern) with a dynamo and get a solar USB charger. Power bricks for USB are great.

If you own a home, get a Honda generator and keep some extra gas around (pour in car to rotate).

And even if it would be useful, the danger of owning a gun is higher than the likelihood of an emergency that you prepped for.

In a situation like this it is quite impossible to give a good advice.

I would recommend you to read the book How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. Not because of your question regarding the diamond ring but generally.
In my experience, I've been able to completely avoid the framework, rather than building my own. I end up with pretty much the same controller and db access code, absolutely no implicit logic, a "main" entry point (in my case typically in the form of a @ServletContextListener class), and maybe 100-150 lines of boilerplate - i.e. the stuff that is usually implicit, such as reading config files, connecting to a database, etc.

> BASIC on an 8-bit computer is a bit closer to the underlying hardware than C ...

Well, that's wrong. There's nothing about BASIC that has anything to do with hardware. If anything it made the computer feel like a rubber mallet when inside that hardware was some real power, if only you had the knowledge to unlock it. I always felt cheated, that no matter how well I knew BASIC my programs would be stupidly slow compared to someone who knew assembly.

C wasn't an option on something like the C64 since there was no C compiler. It was BASIC or, if you were bold, hand-written machine code. The tools were very primitive, very expensive, or both.

BASIC is junk. Get rid of it. Teach proper programming. If you really need to squeeze a lot out of your hardware, and on the C64 you absolutely need to, then it's assembly or machine language.

Intel uses its fabs internally and does not allow other companies to use its process, unlike Samsung.

> If you're going to prep make sure you have firearms, or don't bother.

That's foolish. Most scenarios you prep for (eg extended power outage) do not require firearms. That is an extreme situation.
It probably comes from America's largely Puritan upbringing. We have this intrinsic belief that how successful (in terms of power, money, respect, fame) you are is a reflection of how good a person you are, and if you are a bad person then you will get what's coming to you. And that these traits are basically innate, so someone who's bad is irredeemable, so we should minimize the harm they do to the good people, while if someone was good they wouldn't be in whatever bad situation they're in, or at the very least they would have already figured out how to get themselves out of it.

This is reflected in our means-testing for entitlements, for instance: if you can't find a job within a few months, you must be intrinsically lazy, and therefore don't deserve anymore handouts. So we cut off unemployment and food aid after a relatively short amount of time.
Girl here. The comments you've gotten so far are going about this the wrong way. Arguments about price, ethics, practical tradeoffs are the dead wrong tone. Proposals should be over the top romantic; you'd never suggest skipping a beautiful or dramatic location to save money, right?

Beyond that, this isn't just about how she feels about it. Everyone she knows, relatives, friends, is going to want to see the ring and hear the story. To all of them, a diamond is the gold standard and a cheap substitute will be an awkward counterfeit. Even if you convince her, you are signing her up to have the ultimate celebration of her, the once in a lifetime birthday party, turn into a lot of awkwardness and sympathy. Bad deal.

Ignore the cost. It's impolite to ask and moissanite is expensive enough. If what you do looks legitimate enough, no one need know. The critical key is that you sell this as better, representative of more thought, more effort, more investment on your part.

Focus on that you're doing something different. Something special. Design a custom ring that speaks to you about who she is. Focus on the ways in which the stone is superior to a diamond. It is unusually brilliant which reminds you of her. It is tougher, harder than what everyone else takes for granted. You mounted it with blue stones for her eyes.

Make it personal and in every possible way, about her and as much as possible tell a story that will make her friends wish someone that thoughtful cared about them enough to do something truly special rather than checking the expected box.
Ok, but if you don't have training don't buy a gun. Home intruders have used blackouts as a cover and police services are often stretched. Still, owning a firearm does require some practice and training.

If you are going to buy one, then get either a shotgun or something with a lot of support[1]. Then you need to practice and understand the safety built into the gun and how to secure the weapon in your home.

1) this is why the AR-15 is so popular. a normal person can add accessories.

I logged into the backend of WHM for my cPanel VPS(I'm using another VPS provider, so not OVH specific example here), and they have something now called AutoSSL doing something similar.

I haven't really played with it yet, but I know it mentioned no way to revoke the certs. So felt a little half baked but it seems like a step in the right direction to move everything to SSL. Probably just a early iteration right now, so probably will improve over time.

I can teach beginners any language and present it in terms they can absorb, even C, even assembly, even C++. With those it's a longer road to walk before the student can be productive, but it's possible if they're patient and willing to follow.

Ruby is one of the easiest languages to teach because it's very forgiving and it's really easy to navigate the documentation. In a single day people with no programming background can go from not being sure how to start to reading in things from a text file and producing useful output. Given a few weeks they can be interfacing with a database and making web pages.

You cannot do that with the sort of BASIC you got on the C64. Someone with enough patience and audacity could surely make a web server in BASIC for the C64, but it's such a ludicrous project that it would only serve as a proof of concept, not a useful tool.

Nothing you learn BASIC will ever help you. It's all garbage. You're viewing this through the rosy lens of history. At the time it was the best we had, we made do, we did great things with it, but now there's far better tools.

People can and do make furniture with hand-powered tools, but let's be honest. As much as power tools are more complicated and more dangerous, it's not hard for people to learn how to use them, and if they do they'll be far more productive.
Where did you get the idea that listening - really listening, not just mining for quotes you can refute - is part of critical thinking? Where is it taught that way? Where is it practiced that way? They're both valuable and important skills, but they're pretty much independent of one another and too rarely both present in the same person.
Seriously? I would use barricades, tazers, pepper spray, traps, smoke, fire, light, sound, and other means to dissuade the thief. Someone with their ears pounding from 125dB alarms, lungs choked with smoke, eyes streaked with pepper spray, skin on fire and body pulsing with 40,000 volts probably is not too concerned with my beans - if they could get past the steel-reinforced door.

People with guns don't seem to consider any other factor, besides that if the opponent has a gun, or can get yours away, you're not in a good defense position anyway. Guns are mainly useful for offense. Maybe that's why some preppers want them.
which you should disable as soon as you install your browser.

FairVote – Ranked-choice voting system
I think it depends on the platform, and libraries available on said platform.

On the JVM, I create webapps using a @ServletContextListener class, which essentially is a "main" that gets the servlet context passed to it. You could call this implicit, but it is at least the only implicit thing you need. I have 5 lines that read in and left merge some config files. I manually invoke a spring context for setup/teardown of stateful stuff like database connections, queue connections, etc, and initialization of core services using these. Some more lines to set up the Jersey controllers on the servlet, maybe asset-pipeline or something else for handling static files, and we're up to a total of 100-150 lines of initialization/boilerplate.

The win here is that there is absolutely nothing implicit about my app besides from the invocation of "main". My main beef with frameworks is the implicitness. Great when it works, but I'm so tired of hitting some kind of bug where some implicit thing stops happening for whatever reason and having to trace it down in the framework bowels.

In my experience, there is very little difference between learning a framework vs learning a platform (JVM servlets) and a few core libraries (spring-context, Apache's data source for DB connections, JMS for queue stuff, Jersey for servlets, spring-security for auth).
The change in the service is a direct reflection on their best guess at how to best answer the return on investments they have taken. These changes rarely benefit the customer's pocketbook, or at least IFTTT's version of a given customer's pocketbook.

A scenario where prepping efforts come to fruition is far from "usual"; one's preconceptions about how others act should be reevaluated in the face of it. Again, this comes down to what you are prepping for.
I'm a 42 Paris student. Before I did a master degree in a classic french university. It's really different. After 5 years at uni I still needed to learn a job and was not valuable on the work market. After 2 years in 42, I know that I'm valuable on the work market because where I worked as an intern they wanted to hire me. A lot of students quit 42 before the end of their study because they found an interesting job or build their own business.
Because I learn a lot by myself, I'm not scare to learn different programming languages. And I enjoy a lot to have the time to dig into some aspect of a concept when I went to, instead of rushing it because a teacher has still a lot to make me write down.
If you have motivation, schools without teacher are a good way to learn software engineering.
