Damn I thought I was alone! I get this about half the time too, although now I think I've identified a pattern: the second time I maximize in a given conversation always breaks down. The "fix" is to click on another conversat

In practice it's quite different. For example if you send money to a suspected terror group your bank will block the transaction and freeze the funds (that is, they don't even get you your money back), even in the absence of any c

Bold of you to assume you'll get the minimal privacy of a cubicle's partitions. The VR office is probably going to be open concept, like a bunch or chairs in a room.

I do amphetamines. Specifically 40 mg Vyvanse at around 6:30. I used to be unable to work until around 11 am after two coffees and 4 cigarettes. The ADHD prescription completely changed that. Maybe something to consider?

Uber has only ever posted one positive quarter (Q3 2020) and has gone back to net losses in Q4. It doesn't really make financial sense. Even the whole "they will be profitable once they have a monopoly" idea is overblown IMO.

JPMC didn't have antitrust in the onboarding stuff? I find that difficult to believe. The bank I work for tells employees to never discuss products or prices with competitors without going through compliance. It's not really empha

Not that it entirely matters but the most likely scenario for a nuclear exchange would probably have most nukes used on hardened military targets. This is the main reason why MIRV weapons were invented. https://en.wikipedia.org&#

Luckily, Fortran allows easily changing from one to the other. You simply define arrays as A(1:10) or A(0:9) and they will index from 1 or 0. You can even do arbitrary indexing: fixed like A(-3:3) or dynamically like B(n1:n2). This may soun

That version doesn't work. It raises KeyError on the first iteration if the if statement is false. The point of the for / else is that the else only gets evaluated when the for terminates without a break. So in the example you on

for/else is actually super useful for searching through a sequence or for iterating with a possible failure. Something like, for i in range(n): if search(i) == val: break else: raise KeyError("not found

Yes I always comment on it for this reason, sometimes (if I know the code will be maintained by someone with less python experience) with a link to the standard doc. It's actually a super useful pattern for any kind of search iteration

That's in large part due to the garbage fire that is the python ML ecosystem... Python projects that are not ML are pretty stable IME.
