Justice for men! Then finally alphan0n could come out of the closet as the true alpha he has been this whole time

Managers are taught to live in a world of emergencies. I believe that someone who takes a measured and thoughtful approach to things is excluded from management out of principal.

>without risking harm to a relationship

Only from a very narrow perspective. Opening yourself up and being real with people is how relationships form. If you test every conversation you are going to have with someone before having it, then the 3rd party basically has a relationship with an AI, not with you.

Now testing every conversation is extreme, but there is harm any time a human reaches out to a computer for social interaction instead of other humans.

I disagree with my sibling comment. The trick is beautiful. If you generate UUIDs such that each bit in the result can be reliably traced back to a single bit in the input, then you can take a substring of the UUID and use that to infer which bits of the input integer must be set to produce that substring. So you can produce a whole list of input bytes that meet the criteria and those become your search results.

The real magic trick here is that the uuids on the page only look random to us because of some bit twiddling and XOR trickery. If we had a better intuition for such things we would notice that successive UUIDs are just as correlated as successive integers.

Elegant stuff

If a planes jet engine gets close enough to the roof of the airport to burn this treated lumber, there’s bigger problems afoot.

I know two (educated and hard-working) people in my immediate circle who intentionally keep their income below $30k/year so they qualify for state healthcare programs that they couldn’t otherwise afford unless they were making upwards of $150k.

So we have accountants and scientists who need back surgery intentionally working part-time barista hours.

As a programmer I’m all for gaming the system by knowing and navigating the rules, but the situation is comical.

Healthcare is just a word until you get into your sixties, then it is a lifestyle

I agree, but some people use social media to follow 1000s of other users. Some kind of “hot right now” or “high engagement since you last logged on” setting might be nice for them.

> switching back to a rarely used and much more inefficient manual process is extremely disruptive, and even itself raises the risk of catastrophic mistakes.

Catastrophe is most likely to strike when you try to fix a small mistake: pushing a hot-fix that takes down the server; burning yourself trying to take overdone cookies from the oven; offending someone you are trying to apologize to.

I’ve spent many evenings there, the owner definitely has a soft spot for clown portraits

Nicely said. The way I think about it: if we can’t write legible and adaptable functions, then we have no chance at making viable systems. All the same engineering skills are at play, just on a different scale.

Less than zero, really

If you’re stupid enough to get depressed you don’t deserve to rot in bed all day. If you’re stupid enough to get sick you don’t deserve to go into debt.

But I think that’s the difference between seeing gambling as an activity and an addiction.

That’s a lot of “I” statements for the egoless commenter.
