The one time I was nearly in a serious accident was when I was in the fast lane on a nearly empty motorway - apart from a line of lorries in the slow lane, moved from the fast lane into the middle line without indicating... but one of the l

Exactly, leet code is like those brain training games that claimed to made you smarter... When the studies showed they make you really good at brain training games.

Because for your body to fight a virus, it needs to have a good working immune system. Some people lack that for various reasons. A vaccine helps in this case but it's not 100%. Being "fit" certainly helps your immune system.

That is until Spotify take it down, then no one can listen to it... Regardless of whether it is anti-vax nonsense or not.

My anti-vax relatives refuse to even test for covid. Now if this behaviour is multiplied across all the antivaxers, then could this be the reason for the skewed results?

I don't think many in HN would deny these racist events, but is the answer the current "anti racism wokeness"? Arguably not... It seems to be causing more problems than its solving.

Also in the UK it's against regulation to have a wooden structure so close to a residential property... Although this is the US where most properties are made of wood... So probably no such rule?

Of course - but we were still productive using SVN. The improvements in git didn't really give us a massive boost in productivity.

Having used SVN for a decade before we all moved to git, I have to say I've never noticed any improvement in our productivity. I.e. the limiting factor wasn't how well you can do a merge. In fact I've probably experienced mor

So the EU has a migrant problem. There are camps in France, Spain and probably other places not being reported. Poland is dealing with it as well in their own way without the eu. The EU hasn't come up with a solution to it. So I'

Is it? The UK had a global empire before the EU existed. I'm not suggesting we go back to colonising far off lands, but clearly a nation can be successful outside the EU (there a plenty of examples of that). What an absurd idea.

Sigh. Not this discussion again. Also it's the guardian, may as well post a telegraph article that says the exact opposite. My take on it: when money is involved, humans are excellent at optimising those systems. Look at the lengths an

Because everything the progressives touch turns to s*t? Comedy, art, museums, schools, colleges, and yes even whole cities. Just like communism, it sounds great on paper but in practice it doesn't work. It doesn't suprise me that

It's good, although doesn't mention f-strings, which makes string manipulation in python next-level.
