Oh that sounds like fun.

Oh they could have. To be honest I’m not sure why they didn’t.

Exactly. It’s not that it’s a small amount. It’s the “why”.

What did I mess up and is it going to require a team of people to prove there isn’t some nefarious thing going on.

Same reason you get mailed a 12 cent check that cost them more than 0.12. It makes the books make sense and if the check expires then the amount moving into the right account then also makes sense.

So they can sign off on the numbers as being correct.

Or any company. Accountants absolutely hate Pennies missing. Dollars are easier to stomach but Pennies makes them nervous that some miscalculation that signals a bigger issue is going on.

*Sign manOrWoman = null;

That’s a good way to put it.

I’d personally amend it to this though:

Math is the language we use to write pseudo-code for the rules of the universe. It allows us to reasonably predict and share/write our understanding of the universe.

The best algorithms then match with the actual universe even if the real thing doesn’t use the math (looking at you -1, infinite points and black holes)

Marketing Consultant: No, King Condiment, you can’t put red in red on an ad. They won’t see it. They’ll wonder why you’re selling a gun to shoot at food.

The King: But it’s great advertising!

Marketing Consultant: No, that’s not a great marketing ad.

The King: But they can still use red for ketchup right?

Marketing Consultant: Of course. And your instructions can tell them which is for which.

The King: It’s so confusing?

Marketing Consultant: It is. And if you had hired us before manufacturing millions of these we could have told you about using another base color with red and yellow grips and triggers. But you didn’t and so here we are.

You sir, what’s your name?

“Hammer… Jackson Hammer.”

Ham…mer… that’s with two M’s?

“Yes… why?”

Mr. Hammer, here’s your citation for destroying the bench. You can call this number here to inquire about court dates and fines.

Or praying the space ship flies true.

I remember there was an Easter egg but I can’t recall if it was related to no disc and then loading an audio cd or something else. You’d have a small space ship flying around and towards and away from the screen almost like a screensaver.

It’s been almost 30 years though so I’m a little hazy on the details.

It’s bugging me that I can’t find it online anywhere.

If a person is at the intro/intermediate level that advice may be sound enough. Since they’re less likely to apply proper rules to include those ranges of IP’s etc.

Assuming it’s advising disabling it at the router/switch level and not just a per device level.

Better would be to explain: Disable this until you’re familiar with the following concepts (see cited books/material for more info)

A great channel for topics like this.

This video goes into the expansion of spacetime as well as cover how internally those forces don’t affect local spacetime because of the mass/spacetime curvature.

Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere

Although I have to agree with the top comment regarding this being my favorite channel I don’t understand. But the more I watch it the more I start to get a sense of a lot of it and I actually am understanding some of it

And yeah, we don’t know what, if there’s anything, it’s expanding into.

What’s that noise? I’m sure I heard something.

Cat: this is a nice place and I like you. I want to make sure you’re eating.

Here, take this

What a mess… sounds like the devs got burned by various Unicode edge cases RTL, etc

Oof. That sounds horrible

Is it because of the lower case Latin æ since it’s technically one character even if two bytes?

Sounds like it’s actually using XSLT or some kind of content validation. Which to be honest sounds like a good practice.

It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.

Does make it easier to isolate vocals I guess
