Thanks for the false positive looking for c#! I also don't see general functional programming listed, which was more prevalent a few years ago. Different times.

Most commercial beer completely removes the yeast though, even many microbreweries. If you don't visibly see sediment in the bottle, it has been filtered. The reason is consistency in product and consumer preferences.

This was my experience as well. I became very interested in F# and Clojure about 6-8 years ago because they were seemingly better languages that attracted better users. I was wanting to work with people who cared more about the work they we

IIRC the layers of dead trees also caused pervasive fires. One because of the fuel from the trees, but also because oxygen levels were much higher due to large amount of carbon trapped in the trees. Apparently much of worlds coal was also f

I run octordle, and I think you're right. I went with boards + 5 which felt like the sweet spot. Presently the win rate is 55% which seems good. Early on friends complained it was too hard. In my experience after a few games it gets pr

I have seen the same as well. It also causes the managers to be disconnected from the realities of the team. Since they've delegated most everything, they don't need to pay attention and are free to go play politics with the other

I suspect they're thinking longer term than 3 months. The S&P returned nearly 29% in 2021, 18% in 2020 and 38% in 2019. That is doubling your money (nominally) in 3 years which is fantastic compared to the averages.

I experienced something similar in terms of having to juggle numerous responsibilities spanning multiple roles. It is unfortunate and not only is your company taking advantage of you, your coworkers are too. This is at least what I experien

I imagine if you get caught once, the SEC is going to audit everything you've done and find most occurrences of insider training. Theres a 5% chance for each of those occurrences and you're going to owe a lot if any are found.

This is my opinion as well. Many of the power user commands I've learned were to avoid annoying and fiddly things. It is less about saving time and more about saving effort for me. With occasional RSI, if I can use a couple hot keys to

Most (I assume) residential consumers pay a fixed price, so that cost falls to the energy providers. Events like these have caused smaller Retail Energy Providers to have to go bankrupt due to not being able to pay for the demand of their c

This concept is called Demand Response and is quite prevalent. Consumers receive a discount for reducing their load at peak times. This frequently targets very high demand customers rather than residential for the simple fact that it's

What exactly does the RPi control? Is it some sort of WiFi or programmable outlet? I've wanted to do this, but wasn't sure how to get the RPi to control the lights. My mechanical timers have all broken or drifted too.

I also found it strange and surprising, especially with how prominent the English is on the labels. If it is due to being sold in foreign markets, which most likely have competition, then the point of the labeling not being used to promote

I'm not sure that is possible and I question if their actions were illegal. Investing is risky and when actual returns did not beat the guarantees, the investors decided to invest in riskier assets to attempt to make them whole. Howeve

This is usually where I get NREs too and is the most frustrating. When using object initializers, the line number is the same for the entire initializer, so you don't get much help in determining exactly which line the exception was on
