I’d go a step further and I suspect it’s a peppering string (i.e. fixed string you add to hashes to defeat rainbow tables). I’d really hope it isn’t as you mentioned because gosh that sounds like a toxic workplace if someone is just leaving landmines around purely to get someone fired.
No, I don’t think so - it’s just a dick move to go out of your way to sabotage someone. If they’re fucking up just visit their existing mistakes - don’t waste time contriving new ones.
Everything is expensive, nobody has any money - America’s economic miracle is insanely high consumer spending, so we decided to stop giving consumers money so corporations could keep more of it (gotta buy back that stock) shit has finally started hitting the fan and if we crush the interest rates or do a huge tax cut right now we might be able to blow past having a recession and manage to make it into depression territory.
What a time to be alive. Yay.
Honestly, we need boomers to hurry up and die so we can try and get a working economy again, their political interests lie with perpetual stock price boosting to the detriment of everything else and it’s not fucking healthy.
It is, honestly, the dumbest of the -O flag option, which is why I picked it. I’m sure there are times when it’s useful, but it’s nearly never the right choice.
According to a press release issued Friday by the Heiltsuk Nation, the protest follows a meeting between Heiltsuk and RCMP leadership on Wednesday, during which the Heiltsuk learned RCMP have initiated a transfer for the officer in question.

I am a very mood based listener so I rotate things a lot and enjoy a wide diversity of music… but I honestly think there have been few songs to approach the level of Around The World/Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Why is it fashionable to hate curly braces - I think readability is much better served with explicit block closing tags…
And why do we hate type declarations? I don’t mind being able to omit type declarations, it’s handy for quick and dirty stuff - but strict type checking is a powerful tool… so much so that PHP has put a lot of effort into adding it after the fact.
The demand curve didn’t shift - I agree. That was sort of my point - in legitimate inflation we’ll see demand curves shift as price sensitivity adjusts to the new market comprehension of purchasing power.
The actual amount of demand (or, like, buy orders if you prefer to avoid the term demand) absolutely did decrease though because we shifted the price point along that demand curve.
I mean - I could afford a home now, it’s just stupid expensive and I’d be leveraged up to my eyeballs. You do usually need to have the deposit in on-hand cash (though if you’re sneaky and an utter idiot you could probably find some way to borrow for the down payment).
I understand where you’re coming from but it’s accurate language to use because a lot of people technically could afford to buy homes right now they just know it’s dumb and realize the market is about to collapse and they’d end up underwater on like an 8% mortgage.
I’ll up your pedantry with even more pedantry, colloquially “bought a house” is understood to mean “closed a deal on a house with financing” - “bought a house outright” would be for a full cash purchase.
I don’t mind unnecessary pedantry where appropriate, but you’re incorrect in this context.
And, technically speaking, when you buy a house (mortgage or not) you become the owner of that house - you’re just also receiving a loan with your house as collateral. So, if you fully paid off your house and then applied for a loan to start a business would you consider your house no longer owned by you?
If we really dig down here your pedantry about buying a house becomes quite meaningless because the loan using your house as collateral doesn’t mean you’re any less an owner of your house - you own it, fully and completely, you just also have an outrageously large loan using it as collateral (granted it’s a pretty special loan for a number of good social reasons).
It is extremely good to acknowledge how much that loan interest rate is effectively increasing the price of your house though, far too few people realize how much actual money they end up paying.
Aside, it is absolutely fucking insane that rents usually far exceed mortgages. The rent does need to account for the lack of liability for depreciation property damage (like, if your apartment floods you’re not on the hook to replace your floor boards) but in a lot of markets it’s become entirely detached from reality.
There are circumstances when it’s appropriate but it’s really risky. It’s extremely easy to find yourself underwater in debt if you’ve borrowed the full amount. In 2009 when the housing market had fully crashed it was probably an acceptable level of risk.
I’m all for nationalization[1] but Germany hasn’t indicated that’s a direction they’d like to go in - it’d be absolutely terrible if this clear good ended up collapsing the green energy market and forcing a nove back to fossil fuels though.
Actually, specifically in Germany’s case, I’m not in favor of nationalization since something is seriously fucked up w.r.t. their energy policy. I don’t trust the people who just shuttered all the nuclear reactors.
Absolutely 100% true for some, probably most, Christian run homeless shelters. Untrue for some (likely a minority) of homeless shelters. I’ve got no qualms about shitting on shitty Christians being asshats - I just have a problem generalizing this to everything.
What you’re focused on is actually the DMCA safe harbor provision.
If Reddit says, “We have a platform and some dumbass said to snort granulated sugar” it’s different from Google saying, “You should snort granulated sugar.”
You’re shifting the goal posts though - prior to AI being an expert reference on the internet was expensive and dangerous, since you could potentially be held liable - as such a lot of topic areas simply lacked expert reference sources. Google has declared itself an expert reference in every topic utilizing Gemini - it isn’t, this will end badly for them.
Yea, but I don’t have solid evidence either way since I’m not on the ground there - what makes you so certain these people weren’t smugglers? What part of this story has you so willing to go to bat for them?
