But think of the short-term shareholder value! Have you no decency?

Yeah in all the libraries I’ve been to the standard policy is usually no food, no drinks except water. Maybe it’s the soda lobby which wouldn’t tolerate discrimination between water and soda?

I suspect this is also why there are so many “mistakes” in how the epstein files were redacted and published. Incompetence as plausible deniability for leaking stuff that was ordered to be covered up.

I think you forgot a /s and your downvoters seem to need it.

At least, that’s what I hope, because that way your comment is a nice joke.

Yeah, and all because god forbid you give your (future) employees time to learn another language besides JavaScript. Nope, line must go up so programming must be further commodified.

I think you need to beat the pork vigorously first, to tenderize the meat, you know

Spend 10s of millions on TV ads on which consultants get a 15% fee, got it /s

Beer is just shy of 95% water, the other significant fraction is ethanol, which is about 80% as dense as water. I’d say doing the calculation as if it’s all water is already more accurate than any volume estimate you’d be able to come up with.

Now that’s a tax rate I could get behind.

Seems like it’s mostly error handling, which makes total sense to me. In a function with a lot of error conditions, where it also takes more than return <nonzero value> to report that error, the code would get very cluttered if you handle the errors inline. Using goto in that case makes the normal case shorter and more readable, and if proper labels are used, it also becomes clear what happens in each error case.

Sure, you can do that with functions too, but it’s much nicer staying in the same scope where the error occurred when reporting on it. Putting things in a function means thinking about what to pass, and presents extra resistance when you want to report extra info, because you have to change the function signature, etc.

It’s not even the original spare I think. If you look at the middle brake light there’s way too much room.

In other news: violence against Jewish people is on the rise.

Not unless you choose really slow hard drives, or stream very high bitrate media. Most hard drives can easily do 100MB/s sequentially (i.e. reading a large file, such as long video files). Meanwhile high-bitrate 4K video is only about 50Mbit/s, so about 6MB/s.

Yup, adopting the Euro as currency would be my first condition. They threw a lot of privilege and bargaining power away out of pride, so that pride should be injured as much as possible (but without emiserating the common people).

I think you need to read some more history about fascism my friend. That “pure” capitalist you talk about has never existed.

On the other hand, capitalists were essential to Hitler’s rise to power, and the likes of IG Farben and Bayer profited greatly during the reign of the Nazi’s.

Now we see the same thing with the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk installing Trump, and abusing their influence to completely deregulate the markets they are in (e.g. banning any regulation on AI by states).

Yeah but the choice is between socialism and fascism, and capitalists stand to lose a lot under socialism.

You’re right, it’s also about the capitalists who put them in power.

That sounds like “right answer, wrong method” to me, tbh. Did you feel ashamed for having to sit in the front or having detention, or was it more like “eh, works for me, might as well go along with it”?

If I’d Only Known I Wouldn’t Have Wasted So Much Of My Potential Club.

I’m in this club but very much trying to leave, because I’m starting to realize “wasted potential” in itself is a toxic idea that’s been ingrained by years of teachers telling me this (with my parents doing their best to counter). That’s not to say I’m not still trying to do my best, I am, but only because I want to and because it makes me happy.

“Faith-based health care provider” is one of the saddest euphemisms I’ve heard in a while.
