I tend to prefer Hiroshima sort. Sorting completed in O(1) time, and it frees up memory too.

Yes. UBI has been a leftist conversation point for the last few years. Overall though the Democratic Party is opposed [1]. Two years ago when asked if the democrats would step up efforts to help people in financial straights the response was an effective no [2]. If I remember correctly that was even a campaign promise from Joe Bidden, that nothing significant would change.
And despite that, when the democrat’s made promses when it comes time to follow through they have a hard time enacting their goals. I will grant that a big chunk of that is republican interference, but the democrats seem to be extremely hesitant to use the levers of power available to them to follow through. When one side is blatently, openly cheating, its folly to keep trying to play by old rules.
And please don’t get me wrong, nothing I’m saying should be taken as endorsement for the Republicans. I want to live in a world of rational debate and law. However, both sides have to agree to that for it to work. When one side wants to win at all costs the democrats can’t keep playing from the same old book forever.

Let’s start with the 70% or so of people that report living paycheck to paycheck[1] rather than claiming that the 'economy is doing fine. Let’s even acknowledge that inflation is making good and housing prohibitively expensive[2].
The things you mentioned are important. For people that are struggling to keep a roof over their heads though the issue of Healthcare or education tend to be less critical than keeping food on the table. We can’t keep saying the economy is doing fine while people keeping trying to tell us it isn’t.

“This sentence is the epitome of injustice and a dangerous nod to child sexual predators letting them know, ‘No worries, we won’t go too hard on you,’”
This seems like its missing a pretty obvious point. Its not that the judge is going easy on a child rapist. The judge is going easy on a cop, who just so happens to also be a fucking child rapist. This cop, and the judge both deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives.
That’s only because you individually have been made responsible for the election. Every one else was at the meeting and didn’t want the job. Good luck, and don’t choose wrong!
To quibble, you can’t pop a HID into a reflector housing at all, usually. Halogen and drop in replacement LED have a different focal point than HID bulbs do.
This means if switching to HIDs you also need to replace the entire housing so it will focus the light correctly. No amount of adjustment will be correct if the beam isn’t focused properly.
I would like to point out its not even we. Its upper management and ‘the stockholders’. Everyone from the peon to lower management knows that people don’t work continuously for their shift. I doubt anyone can work continuously for that long and not go crazy.
But the reward from mid and management and above for completing your work is more work. Which is great for them since you completing more work means they get bonuses.
Don’t comment what a line is doing. Instead, write your code, especially names for variables, constants, classes, functions, methods and so on, so that they produce talking code that needs no comments.
Over and over and over again in my experience this just doesn’t work. Readable code does not substitute for comments about what the code should be doing.
From the wiki link its from 1991, so rest assured that its over 30 years old.
No no, its correct. Its a reference to the ‘All your base are belong to us’ meme.
Wait, isn’t that obvious? Its for Elise!
Strong disagree, under DST I get to experience some sunlight in then evenings. Under Standard time I get to watch the sun come up through the window and set through the window.
Yes, because free market capitalism has been working out great.
Maybe its not because of assholes? Maybe its because the comment is objectively wrong?
Neither my gas water heater, or gas furnace work during a power outage. As another commenter said they both have electronic controls.
Except, if I understand correctly they haven’t u-turned. They aren’t removing the language re encryption, just acknowledging that it isn’t enforceable. Yet.
Ubuntu user, for me I’ve always had to disable/delete the voice dispatcher, that usually does it.
I think I’ve most often heard quote unquote used sarcastically, like scare quotes in writing. When someone’s quoting something seriously I usually hear the quote something unquote or a and I quote something.
