What is a general-purpose catch-all term for a clinic/hospital etc? "Medical institution"? "Healthcare organization"?

@snailplane Thank you!
I'll write institution..
"facility" looks odd
How do we write the address if there are several buildings under the same general number?
like "25 building 2 Korolenko Street"
Would that do?
House number 25 on Korolenko Street has 3 buildings standing close together.
And I'm writing to building no. 2

Maybe "facility" is better ))
I'm just used to "institution"
I'm trying to understand how to write a street address..
> 194044, Sochi, 6 letter "Zh", Akademika Lebedeva Str.
The building complex has the number 6. One of the buildings of the complex is marked with the letter Ж (Zh)
I wonder if it's written this way in English

Namaste!
I always forget the order in which to write the address
In Russia we start with the numerical code, then the country name, then the city name, street name, house, building.

Developers who use spaces make more money than those who use tabs
David Robinson on June 15, 2017

Do you use tabs or spaces for code indentation?

This is a bit of a “holy war” among software developers; one that’s been the subject of many debates and in-jokes. I use spaces, but I never thought it was particularly important. But today we’re releasing the raw data behind the Stack Overflow 2017 Developer Survey, and some analysis suggests this choice matters more than I expected.

There were 28,657 survey respondents who provided an answer to tabs versus spaces and who considered themselves a professional developer (as opposed to a student or former programmer). Within t …

@Man_From_India I think the title is misleading. Developers who say they use spaces make more than those who say they use tabs ;)

@Man_From_India Yep, the ttile is misleading
But I'm picky about that stuff ;)
I think people lie on surveys though...

We should take a survey and ask people if they lie on surveys... oh wait.

There's no motivation to tell the truth.

That's why companies are so excited about big data
They just collect as much as they can about people and guess how you're likely to behave instead of ask you
Stack Exchange is just hopelessly optimistic (and not evil) :)

So why get excited about making a guess?

Big Data can tell you things about people they won't admit.
It's pretty accurate statistically

Is there any difference between all rooms and site rooms?
I just picked up a chatroom and went there randomly
I found some subforum on stackexchange not very nice to new users. I won't go there anymore because of some unpleasant experience there.

@kitty This room is great, especially its owner. It's a long time that I haven't seen any post from Dam. Wish he is OK.

What is the difference between quite sure and pretty sure? As far as I can understand by reading the posts on ell and els is that the former means 90-99% and the latter means 70-80%.
Should I ask this as a question on ell or els?

@Mesentery Neither... I don't think anyone quantifies those statements at all... I'm not even sure how common "quite sure" is in AmE in the first place.
