LOL, yeah. Capitalism.
The great socialist countries are way ahead with modular, standardized mobile handset components.
Everyone knows the longest-lived PC bus standards came out of the Soviet Union and North Korea in the 80s.
And large businesses worldwide are still running accounting software on the mainframe architecture China’s government developed in the 60s.
Don’t forget this is describing how he’d handle a 15 year old.
I’m gonna say fish sticks
Yeah let’s not forget the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) which was more full-featured of an object-oriented language than most “current” languages.
The dynamism allowed both Smalltalk and CLOS to avoid a dark corner that will confound your typical OOP’er today - the circle/ellipse modeling problem; they allow an object to “become” a different type on its own accord. Take that, Java!
Also no downvotes :)
This is why I chose lemmynsfw. No one doubts our intent
phone calls now travel over IP
The same thing that accelerated email’s consolidation may affect the fediverse as well - spam.
interesting pivot
SPY returns an average 12%
pay off high interest debt
top off your emergency fund so you don’t run into expensive short-on-money situations
take care of deferred maintenance on your car or house that might turn into an expensive repair
If you have an employer sponsored 401k, increase the contribution amount to get 10k more tax free into it before the end of the year and use the $10k cash in hand for expenses.
Open a roth IRA and contribute the maximum amount you can (which may vary based on your income)
VT, VTI, and SPY are good broad-market funds with good historical growth.
Linkerbaan, where are you yourself from?
Could be a crypto key, or a randomly distributed 64-bit database row ID, or a memory offset in a stack dump of a 64 bit program
And then JSON doesn’t restrict numbers to any range or precision; and at least when I deal with JSON values, I feel the need to represent them as a BigDecimal or similar arbitrary precision type to ensure I am not losing information.
That’s because the nearest representable float to 0.99999999999999 is 1.0 - not because Python is handling rationals correctly.
This is a float imprecision issue that just happens to work out in this case.
It’s worth wondering why, if Python is OK with “/“ producing a result of a different type than its arguments, don’t they implement a ratio type. e.g. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node18.html#SECTION00612000000000000000
How would you implement this in code?
JavaScript is truly a bizarre language - we don’t need to go as far as arbitrary-precision decimal, it does not even feature integers.
I have to wonder why it ever makes the cut as a backend language.
Yeah, I agree the tax needs to be visible in the price to be effective
Good argument for the price inclusive of tax to be the price shown.
I think it’s fairly uncommon for sales taxes in the US to be intended to incentivize behavior - moreso, they are for funding local government and higher taxes are placed on things that are politically palatable in local elections - hotel rooms or restaurant/alcohol sales come to mind.
So I just don’t think we’re well practiced at mechanisms that make them work as a point-of-sale incentive, and changing the way a single class of items are priced would be complicated and surely receive pushback from retailers and the industry involved.
Is COBOL subject to buffer overflows and use-after-free bugs? I honestly don’t know.
I don’t recall the COBOL code I’ve read using pointers.
