My logic wasn't purposely fragile, I missed that the test goes on the left hand size of the 'and', which makes my case that it's error prone ;)

As it's error prone, and only saves 1 character, it's not a great shorthand.

Hopefully the finished code also didn't make Mistake #4: skipping the zero first byte of the first non-zero 16 bit integer. i.e. it should only skip zero words (byte pairs), not zero bytes. This error would probably go unnoticed for a

I like that they put all the table rows in for the next 1300 years. Reminds me of someone numbering a music collection and starting optimistically with 0000001 (they usually gave up at about 000005).

Sometimes people just can't think of a better term and it sticks. It makes sense if there's some ordering implied but in quite a few of these there's none: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_1 https:&#x

"Amazon microphone" sounds like the name of an Amazon product. "Amazon Echo and its built-in microphone" would be more accurate.

The typography on the main site is pretty bad too. Very cluttered with huge text everywhere. Odd changes of fonts in places.

Exactly. I bought and sold in July. We were in a rush to sell as we had made a firm offer and were facing an unknown market with lockdown just beginning to ease. My realtor staged the condo, built a slick site under their domain with a 3d (

Your home will almost definitely sell for more without all the daily life clutter and toys. For example- not all buyers have kids, what you see as a family home may be their new work from home live/office space.

I thought this too- the solutions presented didn't feel 'optimal' for real word peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

+1 for freezing leftover bananas. Freezing ripe bananas just before they over-ripen is the greatest life hack I ever learned. I can't believe it took me so long to stumble on it. Slice ripe bananas into a reusable sandwich bag, pretty

Costco shoppers know that they don't always get the 'best' price, but it's a good enough price and it's likely to be good quality, so it takes the hassle out of the shopping and decision making process.

I have a 2006 Accord that got a lot of things like this just right. First press: locks car and flashes hazards, with no sound. Second press within a couple of seconds: honks horn. If no flash and no sound: a door is open and it's refus

I thought that was the dumbest thing when I first moved to Canada. Then I bought a car and continued to think it was dumb for a couple of years before I realised that my car too used the brake lights to indicate. They aren't red indica

I don't use it much but there have been times it has saved me a lot of wandering around...

My car flashes lights on the first click and honks on the second, which is a pretty good compromise and handy when I lose it in car parks.

Truck owner with correctly adjusted stock headlights here, but your observation is pretty accurate on average.

Made even worse by levelled or lifted trucks with headlights that aren't even properly adjusted in the first place.

I think the reply was sarcastic due to your misspelling of "brick-and-mortar". It's not an odd word choice, see also https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/07/apple-reports-third-q... and many oth

Casio's fx-7000G was the first graphing calculator. I had one and in the late 80s and then the much nicer looking fx-7700g in the early 90s. FX-7000G had 422 bytes of RAM (one BASIC token used a byte) and the 7700 had about ten times a
