Other people have good answers already. Chiefly to ask questions and talk through your reasoning.
But also I’ve noticed the difficulty of interview questions varies wildly. Some places would give dynamic programming problems I’m terrible at. Others would give trivial "find the largest number in this array of integers, in python. Don’t worry about efficiency. " problems.
I think there’s a certain kind of user who doesn’t really learn concepts, but rote actions. They click the start menu and then excel to open excel, but they don’t really understand that the start menu is an application launcher and Excel is an application that can be opened in other ways. It’s very one dimensional.
Then when something changes, like the application launcher is moved, they freak out. They don’t have a mental model.
That’s how my mother is, anyway. It’s all magic with no underlying coherent anything. Not sure how to fix that, because it usually comes up when they’re mad or scared, and that’s not a time anyone will learn.
I’ve been buying drm free music (mostly from Bandcamp) for years. No regrets.
Fruit has been one of my indulges during unemployment. I’d never buy a bag of chips for myself but I will eat a bag of oranges (over the course of several days). Grapes are good, too. Strawberries when they’re on sale. Bananas are okay. Blueberries are good. One of the little groceries was selling pints of cherry tomatoes (not a fruit by most standards) for $1. Ate the whole thing that night.
Bonds are the mechanism by which the government issues new money. They cannot “print money” without selling the equivalent value in bonds.
I knew that’s what you meant but I don’t think that’s true. They choose not to because there’s concerns about inflation and devaluing the dollar, but there’s no constitutional restriction on that. The necessary and proper clause is pretty broad, as is Article I, Section 8, Clause 1.
I’m not a lawyer though
I’m pretty confident that selling bonds is not the only mechanism by which the government has access to money. Selling bonds is a common way for cities and states to raise funds, but I’m pretty sure the federal government can just … fund stuff.
This is the skit i thought of when i saw the headline.
I saw Castle Rat in Brooklyn the other day (great show) and it was like $25 + $10 of bs “fees”.
I don’t see many bigger bands anymore because the tickets are more than double that.
Grand juries only hear the prosecution. There’s no defense. They only need a simple majority to indict. And if the prosecutor doesn’t get an indictment, they can just try again. There’s no double jeopardy protection at this stage.
Noteworthy, all those times when prosecutor’s “couldn’t get an indictment” for the police killing someone, it’s because they didn’t want to.
Any idea will turn to shit if you let republicans and other conservatives near it. They’re the worst people.
Use a dedicated data type or library. Some languages also have something like python’s Decimal type
>>> .1 + .2
0.30000000000000004
>>> Decimal(".1") + Decimal(".2")
Decimal('0.3')
Yep. Open your browser’s console and do .1 + .2 and you get 0.30000000000000004.
One of the reasons not to use floating point when working with money.
If right wing people were smart they wouldn’t be right wing. Of course they’re going to believe and share AI slop video. They’re emotional driven fools.
I went back to windows for a few months on the newer desktop. I installed mint and discovered it had a lot of problems with the hardware. HDMI, Ethernet, WiFi, and various downstream things didn’t work. I fixed some of it with help from forums and such, but eventually I went back to windows.
But a couple months later, I tried Pop!_OS and that has worked perfectly out of the box. No regrets.
I decided I was done with reddit. I never used apps so I just signed out of my account and never went back.
Musk is scum and I’m eagerly awaiting the day he’s no longer shitting up the world.
I’m surprised there isn’t more “And then someone followed the ICE agents home and shot them dead in their driveway” happening yet.
Be funny if that did happen, and the jury refused to indict. I think our faith in institutions are so low that that’s plausible, now.
replaced with a government that serves the will of its citizens.
What are we going to do about the 20 to 40 percent of people who support ICE and other horrors?
edit for clarity: replace “this” with concrete
This is more elegant and detailed than my usual “hang them”.
One of my favorite details from the old tabletop RPG Mage The Awakening is that souls are fungible. You don’t need your soul back, you just need a soul.
