Magical thinking! You may as well recommend the government prints more money and give it to everybody... In FY2025, the U.S. federal deficit was $1.78 trillion, with total revenue at $5.23 trillion, so clearly it's a majority of revenu

It won't need to be cancelled, it won't charge $200 to unwilling customers, don't spread false rumors. They'll even pause whatever plan we already are on and paid for.

I don't get these negative comments for them giving free credits. Either it's "Not many people fit these criteria" or "A ploy for more customers". It can't be both, and I believe it's neither. It&#x27

Yes. It lives in a standard 2D grid, but it starts on a single line.

The part you are quoting is being removed. The policy used to state "If you contribute un-reviewed LLM generated...", now simply states "If you use an LLM to make any kind of contribution then you will immediately be banned

Did you read the policy? "If you use an LLM to make any kind of contribution..."

The devil in the details. Pix allows you to give your account nb, but also email or phone to locate. Vendors can produce a QR code which embeds the destinator as well as the amount to be paid. Pix feels quicker than IBAN to IBAN. Very impor

You are missing the point. He (hopefully) won't trust the callerID to be the bank, but he will trust a "random" callerID to not be his bank/important.

Hosts can cancel, but they are subject to their cancelation penalties (according to the level they've chosen for guests) plus there is an automatic "review" added stating that "This host cancelled a booking X days in adv

Of course. The number of professors in academia remains more or less constant. So each university professor should have, over the course of all their career, a single student that will end up in academia. All the other students have to quit

That is such an over-simplistic criteria! Proof by the absurd: pass your code through an obfuscator / simplifier and the output won't be affected.

I think OP's point is that people aren't (directly) paying for Pornhub, although I realize some people are paying some site that make porn, but the amounts remain smaller than what people pay directly on OF.

I'd love examples where DRY can really hurt performance. Typically what matters most in terms of performance is the algorithm used, and that won't change. More importantly, cleverer people than me said "premature optimization

Same. Tutorial having only contiguous cases made things quite unclear. I thought the starting point / endpoint where important to define the reflection axis and where it was, but no, only the axis gets defined

A nitpick of mine is how filtering with `for` is not explicit. arg = [1, 2, 3] # This doesn't crash: for {key, value} <- arg, do: ... # But this will: Enum.map(arg, fn {key, value} -> ... end)

Interesting. In our codebase we do this all the time. A quick search revealed 280 occurrences of `some_var = some_var |> ...`. I also find the pin operator much more readable, as the meaning of `{foo, ^bar} = result` doesn't require

In Spain, not only are that vast majority of properties sold through agents (anywhere from 3 to 10% commission, and there's a transfer tax of 10% on top of it all) but even apartment rentals are almost all done through agents and rente

The classic example where this fails is when needing to revert something. An atomic commit for the migrations + some atomic commits for the implementation mean you can easily revert the implementation, and leave the migration intact (as sho

Very interesting. I don't understand why it mentions this to be a brand new discovery, since the presence of opsins in the skin of animals for mimetism has been known for some time, e.g. https://www.nationalgeographic.com&#x

I am not the OP, but I suspect the point about keywords vs map might be why was Keyword favoured over Map, i.e. why does `foo(a: 1)` compile as `foo([a: 1])` and not `foo(%{a: 1})`. Nice writeup on why the dot <3
