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 …

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 i…

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 contr…

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…

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.

Europeans smoke more than Americans

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 "Thi…

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 …

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.

> it feels like you could have said the same towards people buying pricy concert tickets when there's royalty free music abundantly available. The analogy holds. Most people don't …

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…

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, clevere…

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 n…

A nitpick of mine is how filtering with `for` is not explicit. arg = [1, 2, 3] # This doesn't crash: for {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 t…

You meant "That number feels too low"

If only the traffic regulations, and roads were actually designed for bikes. Check the amazing "Not Just Bikes" channel on Stop signs, intelligent traffic lights, and read on Idaho…

You forgot not signaling when turning and changing lanes...

How heavy would this turbine be? Much energy might be wasted just to keep it floating in the air...

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 apartme…

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 rever…
