There is no tipping for workers on an assembly line. We don't tip teachers. We don't tip custodians. We don't tip automobile repairmen. We don't tip busdrivers. We don't tip farmers. You are not special. Tippi

How do you know this? In other countries the front of the house staff do just fine without tipping. And how much of your tip goes to the food preparation staff? You're supposed to be sharing your tips with them: how much do you tip

I think -- I hope? -- we're seeing the death spiral of this language. C++'s Biggest Problem: unbelievable, extraordinary, just mind-blowing levels of complexity. Solution: add more stuff!

Hashtables often treble when they reach 50% utilization. I think I'm already factoring that in. It's still 100 bytes overhead!

Did the paragraph say driver? Even so, when a guinea pig is driving, it is 100000% more likely to die in a car crash! The point is, I think, that the reporter needs a lesson in Bayes Law.

The claimed definition of "deaced" is "deceased", as an adjective. It's not meant to be a combination of morphenes -- it's just gibberish. Your proposed definition is different from what's being discusse

It is not. He used Wiktionary as his data source. Unfortunately.

by SeanLuke 4y ago
deaced: not a word. Wiktionary isn't the most reliable of sources. Googling for "deaced" basically yields two things: (1) Wiktionary's, erm, unique entry, and (2) Suggestions for how to rearrange the letters in the scrab

Well they still might build it I imagine. Back in the 1960s BYU had a working nuclear reactor right on campus which produced a few watts of energy. The underground facility was standing at least as recently as the early 1990s.
