I think the argument is that there are almost always conditions attached beyond just the cash purchase price, and you're supposed to evaluate those conditions as part of the price. When I bought my home, I didn't negotiate the pr

Contract law over time has moved in the opposite direction, for better or for worse. Most contacts can be entered into merely by mutual assent[0]; the term of art for what you're describing is a "meeting of the minds"[1] and

I miss the days when you could get a pint for 13 quarters. And as someone who left SF almost a decade ago, I just checked and was very surprised to see that Bottom of the Hill is still open.

Amusingly, journalists have been proclaiming the death and/or resurrection of Twitter pretty much since its inception. My favorite is from 2012: https://i.insider.com/4f4f8f0d6bb3f71e5700002b?width=750&for...

You're right and I was wrong. The DKIM signer selects a list of headers (h=) to be signed, but the body is always implicitly included (and thus not listed). I was confused because I thought there needed to be a flag to include it, and

Having been down this path before, my experience is that you have nothing to worry about. I did have it come up once on a background check after accepting a job offer, because I had listed my startup on my résumé (but it no longer existed).

The CFPB is completely useless. I've never received a worthwhile response to any complaint I submitted through them, out of the ten or so complaints I've submitted to them in the last ~decade. They simply forward your complaint t

A coworker once asked me for shell tips. I gave them a few that came to mind, and also invited them to peruse my .bash_history, because I figured there might be other tricks hiding in there. They later asked why I sync all the time, almost

Too late to edit my comment, but I want to clarify the first sentence of the above: I'm not arguing the courts should automatically favor fathers, either. I meant to say blindly assuming one gender is more suited to raising children t

That was a typo, thanks for pointing it out. :)

I've mostly evolved to making err a named return parameter, and inverting the err != nil check. For example: func foo() (err error) { var x any if x, err = bar(); err == nil { err = baz(x) } if err == nil {

A paralyzed government also can't pass bad laws. Considering how rarely laws are repealed, this is arguably a feature, not a bug.
