> There is no sport that punishes a competitor who is constantly winning, as long as they are competing fairly Almost all North American sports have a player entry draft, where the weighting is based on your success. The best teams (eg t

Well done! It is exactly the correct approach — especially with the dataset potentially changing at each iteration, treating it as a contiguous sequence of executions is wrong anyways. Plus, you should always strive to reduce state as much

I would argue that it is society’s job to care for its most vulnerable.

This is implying that therapy is nothing more than someone to talk to; if that’s your experience with therapy, then you should get another therapist.

I find python quite hard to read, honestly. The lack of typing in most python means that it isn’t immediately clear what a given piece of code does without diving into its implementation. You have to rely on docstrings (good luck) or descri

My company pays for One Medical, and it’s honestly the best practice I’ve been to in the US. I can typically get an appointment the next day, there are tons of offices (in SF), and everyone is kind and efficient. They ask you to set a prima

I’ve had my New M for a couple years now, and it’s been great. No complaints. Unicomp has sorted out their QC issues, and it’s a solid board. I’d say that the lack of a removable cable is a bit of a bummer, but that’s a nit pick.

I love mine. The refresh rate is absolutely not an issue at all IMO.

Thank you for justifying a steam deck for me. Right now, I have to move my desktop over to the TV to play there, but with a Deck I don’t need to do any hauling. I’ve been looking for a good excuse haha. Are you using just the 1st party dock

Honestly, the answer is a Rolex (or another mechanical watch) that you actually wear. A lesson my father taught me was that things were made to be used; the Rolex in this article is just an asset, not a watch. That, or another piece of jewe

Thinkpads still have the F row spacing, though it is small. Their layout is truly the best in laptops.

I would consider flipping causality. I think those places, typically cities and ports, are disposed to having larger drug populations, be that from abundance of supply or some other factor. Then, those places end up passing lenient laws as

A coworker I had (a good friend and an _amazing_ engineer) would generally just pause silently and think after a question. It was initially off putting, and I couldn’t tell what was happening, but very quickly got used to it. I started doin

His response to the ad-hominem is just flat-out the wrong answer for the committee. The answer is to address his main point, which is to say that there are many non-Canadian creators that won’t go through the hoops when they start out, and

The GPM is honestly really underwhelming -- I tried them on at the windup fair this past weekend. There is no lack of khaki field watches out there with better build quality, not to mention actual water resistance (Hamilton being chief amon

The Azov Battalion is the cause of everything, it seems. They're recruiting everywhere, I'm surprised it itself isn't the whole of the Ukrainian defenses now, if I believed all of the Russian shills. /s/Azov Battali

The obvious choice is Ubuntu. Works, is easy to use, and help is everywhere for it. Later on, you may want to branch out to More complicated Distros, but Ubuntu (or Debian) is the easy choice.

Historically, many children died in the first year. Historically, most family’s had the idea of “heir and a spare”. Historically, women were the only people to provide child care. Historically, women didn’t have a separate career, nor went

I’ve used Gerrit at 3 different places, now including at Google. It is, by far, the best git experience. The patch workflow is smooth and just a great experience. It is vastly improved by some git aliases (which you can set up in your gitco

Honestly, it depends on what you need, and what your platform is. Windows has its Remote Desktop, which works fine. I’m on Linux, and use mosh as a more reliable ssh client.

I agree with pron, C is the best starter here. It is simple enough to get your head around rather quickly, and has very defined concepts. The one place that gets people is pointers, but it’s a very important part of software to understand.

Importantly, there is a difference between comprehension and production. Just because you can mostly understand a language, doesn't mean that it isn't a language in its own right. Yiddish, as an example, has many syntactic differe

To this end, I have a small, paper-sized whiteboard that I can scrawl onto on hands at all times. I bought a couple packs of the ultra-fine expo markers, and it’s been a boon. Great for quickly noting things down that don’t need to last. Ha
