   If you have a number base n, shift right/left k digits means, respectively, "divide/multiply by n^k". That's the same whether it's decimal (n=10) or binary (n=2).

   Why? Suicides would save you even more. Corpse removal would get cheaper at scale. All that money would be gone towards border control, though.

   I did. Have probably put ~50 hours total into (free) typing courses during the last year or so. I'm still painfully slow. Maybe 50wpm tops for natural language, embarrassingly much less for programming. Thing is, I'm now even slow

   > Instead of asking, "Is there a God", ask first, "Does anything matter in any meaningful sense?". That's moving the goalposts and completely avoiding GP's argument. Interesting viewpoint nonetheless.

   Although I'm familiar with your point, I literally just searched for the term you mentioned, navigated all the way to page 6 and every single result was specifically for Reservoir Cats proper, none of them even mentioned Reservoir Dogs

    Not trying to sound too negative but if you've already choosen that title before writing the piece, I'm not sure you're really writing about science.

    I reacted the same way when I read that part too, but the rest of the comment illustrates it well with the failed attempts data. To go back to the analogy, it's as if they try to jump from the window, but there's a safety net that

    There you go. People have been successfully brainwashed into believing that money transfer is equivalent to murder.

    All I see is a white egg and a blue egg. Jokes aside, it must feel surreal to see it in person, a "photoshopped out" piece of reality of you will.

    Oh... What? Hallucinations from a 32kHz RTC? Can't tell if your entire comment is a joke or just the last half... Couldn't find a thing after a quick search but now I'm curious.

    Thanks for the explanation! I can certainly perceive all those flickering effects when moving the eyes. Slow PWM is hell, but some stuff like colour separation can be cool too. My favourite trick is making a digital clock's numbers &qu

    Is it fair to say that the expressed concerns are only your own? As I see it, people with genuine desire to learn don't see details such as "number of dependencies" or "linters" as impediments to anything at all.

    I concluded a while ago that there's an uncrossable chasm between the people who understand/agree with your first paragraph and those who don't. Any argument beyond that is just people talking past each other.

    I find it very weird too. I copy and paste a lot from documentation, or GitHub issues, but generally SO questions are very idiosyncratic. Maybe it's the language you work with? If I copy and paste React code from SO it'll 100% bre

    Intellisense for Typescript gives you a sort of stenography with zero time investment. I barely type anything in full except definitions or strings.
