Counter anecdote: I’ve spent 20 years around PA and I’ve seen it plenty of times throughout the state. Just recently I saw a set of half confederate half American flags near the Water Gap, which was new for me. It’s uncommon in most of PA b

The supply chains from Central and South America are already established and proven to be effective. What you seem to be ignoring is the demand part of supply and demand. If there is demand, there will be people importing drugs, increasing

I've heard the line they're right on the edge of profitability but I've never gotten any real confirmation. I was younger when I heard that and I always though youtube was just a cash cow. But think of how much servers (huge

With the potency to weight ratio Fentanyl has, do you really think the shipping being slightly more expensive will make it cost prohibitive? "A kilogram of heroin is purchased for approximately $6,000 and sold for appropriately $80,000

There are a few options out there and I’ll try to cover the ones I’ve used. Privacy: I’ve used this a few times for disposable cards but they act as a debit card such that withdraw from your bank. There are some goofy limits around making c

Depends on how annoying they are. If it is a simple overlap I'll delete the element. If that doesn't work I'll trying google cache or something similar if I really want to access it. I also run the bypass paywalls app so I do

I'll use the "fear is the mind killer" [1] quote when I'm upset or anxious quite often. I really should add this one to my arsenal as well. I've never thought of Dune as a self-help book but I might now. Weirdly eno

Thank you for this post. This seems incredibly useful for casual settings when you're on another computer and you want to pull up another app.

This is a bit of an adage but can you make your hobbies your projects for some amount of time? For example, I spent a while at a start up recently and I really started to find programming boring for the first time in my life. I started sett

Also, lots of older languages demand higher pay due to the small applicant pool. I know Cobol and Fortan in banking / finance devs making 400k plus bonuses and saw a K / kdb+ job that was offering 500k. Hell, I even know someone g

The leetcode grind is very real these days. My advice for people is pick a language you want to get more familiar with but have a decent understanding of already. It will help you learn some of the standard but not always used libraries. Fo

What? The use case for an optional type has been been documented for decades and iirc is sourced from type theory. See it’s usage in Haskell (Maybe type) as one aged example. Also, that stack over flow is pretty well clear on what it should

I truly miss what.cd. I spent so many hours listening to music, finding old, new and eclectic music, chatting in the forums and debating on the individual torrent comments. I think I actually shed a tear when I saw it was closed. Thankfully

I'm talking more along the line for Map/Filter/Reduce support and why those weren't included in Go originally.

But doesn't that require some level of generics? This is an honest question not rhetorical / a retort.

This is a shot in the dark and maybe a little insensitive because people are losing their job (I lost mine recently) so I apologize for that. Does anyone know of any of these liquidators for office furniture? I've been trying to get a

I'm not positive about this but keylogger actions have been picked up by anti-virus before. You might be able to decrease the chance you're caught as well by using this method. And what the other comment below me said about copyin

Matlab should be in the Hysterical, Psychopath, Masochist and Sadist categories. Worst time I've ever had writing something non trivial was in Matlab. I once ran into a bug in their GC that was apparently 5+ years old and had to time l

Those commands aren't exactly the same. These copy what you have selected. You can use xclip just like pbcopy/pbpaste though. Xclip has a few more features and you can get it on mac via brew and nix iirc.

I sort of agree with you on the idea but top flight soccer teams are a bad example. That requires fans / high population density and then investment from a group into paying and attracting players. West German is much more dense. You’d
