OMG this is so spot on. I've been putting together a business document without clear statement of what's needed, and I get the necessary info on what they want in increments, in the form of 'no, do it this way' afterward

Microsoft bought github and then did its copilot thing without asking. Asking about copilot is to miss the microsoft elephant in the room. This is MS doing its thing all over again.

Agreed with @richiebful1, multiliners are better as standlone funcs, and I'd say (personal opinion) that they'd be better here. I like functional a lot but I don't lambda up unless it's more or less a one-liner or a kind

Name me a stable system that does not become destroyed when an overwhelming amount of energy is applied to it. Is a tortoise with a stick of dynamite attached on a random timer chaotic or not? Seems yes. So what are the limits that define c

by zasdffaa 4y ago
A dead tortoise is 100% going to be dead tomorrow. A tortoise alive now is 99.995% likely to be alive tomorrow, if external threats are removed. Pretty sure that is not the behaviour of chaos under your definition.

Interesting, if slightly troll-y question. Let's go for it. Original comment referred to scaffolders getting "utterly shit-faced". Are you proposing that high levels of alcohol do not impair physical ability and judgement?
