We know how it works, but we can’t explain exactly how it got to the answers.

I’m thinking a bit of both.

Also: Move stuff, don’t delete it. It’s faster to restore from a renamed folder than from backup.

We may have just gotten lucky. I also had a great time in Venice once by wandering off randomly and ending up somewhere I can only assume tourists don’t normally go. We bought some fruit off a boat which was both delicious and very affordable, so I assume the target demographic was not tourists. I’m pretty sure that’s not the universal experience of Venice either.

We were in the mood for a chill day, so it was nice to just chill in a park and walk through some random old neighborhoods until we stumbled across a restaurant. There’s nothing chill about Milan, though, at least not where a clueless tourist would find it.

As a European from elsewhere in Europe, I’m never going back to Milan. Maybe it’s fine if you’re into fashion, but if you’re not there’s not much to look at except a cathedral which resembles every other cathedral, and it’s impossible to get a photo of it without also having a friendship bracelet scammer in the frame, actively harassing you.

All tourist locations in Italy and France have people trying to scam you (and some non-scammers just trying to sell you cheap toys), but Milan is the only place I’ve been to where they’re straight up harassing you non-stop. Go to Pisa instead, it’s super relaxing there and you can marvel at their past mistakes in structural engineering. A far better deal.

They’ll just say he was framed. You can’t reason with these people.

I read somewhere that traumatic brain injuries are correlated with voting Republican, but I don’t know if there’s any causation or in which direction it goes. A lot of Republicans might just have lives where they’re more at risk of getting injured.

It is in fact often intentional. It’s basically the same business model as printers. They make money from the refills, not the machine. Obviously people want to save money with generic paper, so they make sure the dispenser only works right with their paper.

What the dispenser manufacturer doesn’t consider is that whoever orders the paper doesn’t use the dispenser, so they don’t give a shit whether the dispenser works well or not. In fact, it not dispensing well saves even more money on paper!

There’s a bunch of trades which happen instantly when you IPO. I don’t know exactly how it works, but I think that when my company went public the pool offered in the IPO included stock from priority shareholders. So I’m guessing he effectively sold them to reddit at slightly below initial offer value for them to release to the public as part of the IPO. This way he doesn’t tank the stock by selling off 500k shares on the stock exchange.

They’re talking about the projected results, not their merits as candidates. Their whole point was that the main grievance against Biden also applies to all other candidates, yet only Biden is being dinged for it.

Thank you for explaining that it was a joke.

That requires someone to look at that section in the IDE. If it doesn’t block the merge, it doesn’t do shit.

Golang won’t even compile with dead code. Unfortunately that’s too strict, you just end up commenting out the whole block instead. At least the commented out code is obvious in review, and some automated checks catch it if you have them.

I did the same thing with “DO NOT MERGE” back in the day. Saved some people who didn’t even know about the check.

Did you misspell CAPTCHA, or is this some new tech that I’m too luddite to understand?

Hey now, they came veery close to repealing it, McCain just decided to postpone dying for a few days to be the deciding vote against the repeal.

They had no replacement, of course, because undoing whatever Obama did was the goal, not helping people.

I didn’t have this on my 2024 bingo card. Just take the money and move on, Neumann!

This isn’t even about preference, though. Most people would recognize Taylor Swift before they’d recognize any NFL players, even if they hate her music.

Why would you be fascinated by that? She’s probably been more famous than all of the NFL combined for more than a decade. Why wouldn’t she get more attention than them?
