For-loop even number guy can get lost

I don’t get this. Who cares if they forgot or just didn’t know the better solution? They were able to solve the problem under pressure, even if not in the most optimal way. They even remembered to handle the negative case, which is straight up a good sign (no pun intended). And while it’s slow, it would honestly still be fine to use in production anywhere you’d use typescript, as long as it’s not in a hot spot.

In my mind this tells me approximately as much about the programmer as if they wrote it using modulo.

On the array sort…that is clever but it doesn’t return those values to something you can use; it just sorts them on screen. I respect the cleverness, but yeah, not useful.

This is not the reason it isn’t useful. The function could just as easily modify an array as print; you could also keep a list (or an atomic integer if that functionality is available) of which have been sorted and spin until it shows that every member has been sorted. Taking n milliseconds to sort an array whose highest element is n, with the cost of all of the thunks, plus the potential for a (very rare) race condition… not so great.

Regardless, I’d hire either of these programmers if there weren’t red flags elsewhere.

Be skeptical of any research that shows the health risks / benefits of a behavior that can also be correlated to wealth.

Is quinoa good for you? Or do rich people get better healthcare?

I think about this a lot.

subject to the jurisdiction thereof

Personally I think it’s clear but this little clause leaves enough wiggle room for the current supreme court to effectively end it. Again I want to stress that I think it’s ridiculous, but legal reasoning being extremely flimsy hasn’t stopped them yet. Listen to a few five to four podcast episodes and you’ll find flimsier.

Flood v Kuhn might be the dumbest if not the most egregious decision. Basically professional baseball is immune to antitrust law because … one of the justices really liked it?

Castle Rock v Gonzalez. Content warning, the circumstances of the case are dark. Basically even if a state law explicitly directs a police officer to protect someone, said officer can just not. No reason required. Because of tradition or some shit

To say nothing of cases like Buck v Bell, Plessy v Ferguson, etc.

And I’d like to be the King of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat.

The new auto update setting is working fine for me. Did a recent install and made sure all the apps I installed didn’t have the warning that it couldn’t auto update, and I haven’t been prompted to update at all.

What phone and OS are you running?

I conditioned my statement with “if you are getting by alright”. If nutritional needs aren’t being met that’s not getting by alright. Though I can see how someone might interpret that differently, but that was my intent.

First, it’s OK to not cook. If you are getting by alright without cooking, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Second, I respect you coming here and admitting your fear. Ironically it takes a lot of bravery to do that!

Third, irrational fears and anxieties are a normal part of the human experience. Everybody has them, so though it can feel like you’re being stupid, you’re really just being human (though some might say that’s two ways of saying the same thing).

Fourth, I’m not a therapist or medical professional but the treatment for phobias I am aware of are CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), and exposure therapy. You can find CBT and ACT workbooks that might be helpful. As for exposure therapy, I think it’s best to work with a professional doing that. Exposure therapy is not just taking the plunge, there’s a process to it. Of course, if you can afford it, talking to a mental health professional is always best.

Good luck!

This assumes Democratic leadership thinks winning is more important than bringing the left to heel. Given their behavior that’s not a great assumption to make.

I’m surprised that works for you, given what happens to him immediately after

An average bowling ball is 8.5 inches in diameter, giving it a cross sectional surface area of roughly 60 sq in. Restricting ourselves to feathers made by non-human animals, the longest feather measured was on a Yokohama chicken at 34 feet / 400+ inches. I can’t find the width of the feather, but it’s still likely it outdoes an average bowling ball.

Huge missed opportunity: could have been God made Adam and Eve, not Maple and Leaf

A feather has smaller surface area than a bowling ball.

Depends on the feather and the bowling ball. Even relatively small (by volume) feathers might outdo a bowling ball thanks to the numerous fine shapes they have.

Common core made an effort to teach kids to think about numbers this way and people flipped the fuck out because that wasn’t how they were taught. Still mad about that.

If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.

I get not voting for Harris. Voting for Trump, though? That’s contemptible.

Even if his quote was historically accurate, it would still be abhorrent. And if you pointed out his mistakes, he wouldn’t have reconsidered his views. He didn’t hate Jewish people because he incorrectly thought they were cowards, he incorrectly thought they were cowards because he hated them.

none were reasons that merits killing jews

Yes, because there is no reason that merits killing anyone based on their ethnicity.
