Thank you for writing this out, I didn't quite get what was going on at first. But then, to formalize the recursion from your example: let's assume we're at item n in the iterator, and at that point we've selected a winn

Long ago in high school, I entered a LEGO robot competition with some friends. Tests were line following, collision detection, etc. One of the tests involved the bot being sent on a collision course with a wall. It had to detect running int

That some times works, but the references I'm interested in aren't always the one directly on the route. For instance, the name of the street just before the one you need to turn into can be helpful to remember. Also, if it's

Ah yes. I often use Maps when I have a rough idea where to go, but I just need to commit the street names of a few turns to memory. Finding those names indeed tends to be a frustrating experience.

It's good to know I'm not the only one. Whenever I've had an occasion recently where I thought an LLM might be useful (either I didn't know the framework or I didn't quite understand the subject matter) and asked Ch

I've gone through the process some 4 to 5 times in the past two years or so and never had any issues with it. The delays are annoying, but I get part of my money back no problem.

I currently have YouTube Music, and have looked into getting Premium a couple of times, because I watch enough YT content to want the ads disabled everywhere. But for some reason they won't let me. If I go to the YT Premium page, they

The documentation reads like a tutorial, which is fine the first time you read it, and really annoying the next 99 times when you're just trying to find something. My biggest gripe though is that the majority of classes / methods

I've started to use ChatGPT for semi high-level questions only this week, and I'm with you. It has hallucinated quite a few nonexistent functions, and it's generally unhelpful slightly more often than it is helpful. Just now

Also not OP, but I literally just learned about Hedy [1] today. No experience except from clicking through it for 20 minutes, but it looks quite interesting, taking somebody from a language with a very simple syntax (and limited functionali

I've got a couple of templates where I've aliased the value of a TypeScript enum into a local variable before using it in the template, so I'm pretty certain at that point I was unable to use the value of the enum directly (t

I don't think there's any evidence that they're inflammatory (great video about it here [1]), but obviously oils are almost 100% fat and therefore have a ton of calories. At the same time, some people feel incredibly satiated

Absolutely, bike lanes in Germany are an afterthought _at best_. I see bike lanes here springing into existence randomly with no way to get on (you're on the street with the cars, and suddenly you see a bike lane on the other side) and

I moved from the Netherlands (where I was born) to Germany, and I mostly use my VPN to bypass the location block on video from Dutch public broadcasting. I even still pay taxes in the Netherlands (still work there), so I feel perfectly abso

When I was initially exposed to Monty Hall, what confused me the most is that I didn't know that the host would always open a door with a goat, rather than just picking one of the remaining doors at random. In the latter case (i.e. the

Along these lines, I find a "nocommit" git hook [1] to be an absolute life saver. If for whatever reason I need to temporarily break a piece of code, I just add a `// NOCOMMIT` comment above it, and git won't let me

Thanks. It'll happen sooner or later, my girlfriend strongly wishes to be a parent and will probably murder me in my sleep if I back out now ;). I know I'll likely figure it out, as I have everything in my life so far. That doesn&

I may be like one of your boring unfulfilled friends, except I have a single hobby that makes me feel a sense of purpose, whereas very few other things in my life ever really have. On a rational level, it seems to me that having kids will a

I don't think it's about reaching conclusions; I think people just don't like hearing bad news, much less bad news about things that they regularly participate in. We say "don't shoot the messenger" for a reaso

What types of trips? Distance traveled isn't really a relevant metric if you consider that cars may be used between cities (where distances are longer) and bikes inside of cities. I'm from the Netherlands, 30 years old and have ne

Yeah same here! Nothing like watching a 200ms timer go down to 100ms just because you swapped out some data structure or cached some variable. It's a very satisfying game to me.

Well, this does explain the disproportionate amount of actors that are arrested in CSI after reviewing the video evidence.
