Sounds pretty accurate.

That avoids bugs and misunderstandings, too. You know this, but for those unaware, in the previous example, x is not initialized to 3. Similarly, in "int* p1, p2;", p2 is an int, not an int*. Easy to misread.

I don't follow. Either you can break your big commit down into pieces that can be applied one by one - then do that using history rewriting (and testing each part!). Or that's not possible, e.g. because it's a global architec

> My credit score dropped 60 points because of it! LOL. Sorry, not sure I understand. Does that mean your score got worse because you paid early?

by mafuy 4y ago
Nope. Does not work like that. You committed - you're in. It's like when you get an invoice for something you did not buy, and you pay even 1 dollar of it for whatever reason. You're now on the hook for all of it.

I don't think anyone in power would enjoy living the remainder of their life underground in a bunker. So this is implausible as a scenario.

Disagreed. They are de-facto mandatory to use. A former university I was at, for instance, published some required information on facebook. Saying "well, they should not do that" is as correct as it is useless and futile in practi

My partner works in cognitive psychology. Your experience matches exactly what scientific research also found ("attentional capacity"). Funny coincidence :)

3 years ago? So your case will be forfeit at the end of this year. Expect a followup by them this December, which prevents forfeit. Some asshat lawyers do actually drag you in front of a judge, and you can't ignore that.

Disagree. There are already substantial differences between noise isolation in different apartments, but that does not lead to better isolated locations being louder. It is usually the opposite, i.e. what one would naively expect.

The human eye is particularly sensitive to green. This is also why the 5:6:5 encoding of RGB has its focus on green.

Considering that Steam was a huge success, initiated a new era of gaming and is selling billions of dollars in games, I'd say it does hold up.

The latter was the first way I read it. It is a common expression.

I felt the parent comment was not so much talking in absolutes but rather pointing out that overly broad regulation can be a real problem. I'm generally a fan of regulation, but I can see how it can be a problem. I, and I think you and

I disagree. These problems are true, but they can mostly be worked around. For instance, do you have to shower in the morning? - many people do not. They are not worse than other problems the affected people experience, I'm sure. The c

That's such a privileged point of view. Do you not see how minorities will suffer from being exposed, unable to hide? Human society is not ready for your idea.

That's a different design issue then - it means lack of synchronization. It is orthogonal to using uuids at a client. In fact, (properly) using uuids are a reasonable way to resolve this.

It's not that you get punched in the face if you 'accept all'. It is that you create a small but real possibility to suffer from it in the future. Like getting a lottery ticket to win something like paying more for your fligh
