What's even better is that the guy in question - Robert Zeidman - is, in fact a Trump supporter. But as a data analytics engineer, he wasn't able to fool himself with bullshit data.

Bro, you used your pillow sales to try and incite insurrection on the thinnest of bullshit data. The fact that the vast majority of folks with sense thought maybe you shouldn't have pillow sales to fund terrible ideas anymore is kinda on you.

Does that technically count as a confession?

At least not until there's a damn web version.

I'm sorry, but why is this not an AbstractToolBuildingFactoryFactoryFactory? How are you going to derive alternatives?

Replacing semicolons with Greek question marks? Easy fix.

Terminating identifiers with Greek question marks? Pure evil.

The fun part about that: you can burn hydrogen with fluorine because fluorine is the best oxidizer; it's then deadly (and caustic) because hydrogen is not the best reducer - it's both an oxidizer and a reducer and, as a result, it's basically middle-of-the-road for both properties. Specifically, most metals are better. So the HF will happily drop its hydrogen for many metals to oxidize (fluoridate) them instead. Lead, iron, zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and lithium will each make a way more stable fluoride than does hydrogen.

In solution (say, if you inhale HF, it'll dissolve into the moisture in your lungs), it breaks apart into H⁺ and F⁻ ions - both of which are just straight-up electrochemically promiscuous. The pair'll run through your lungs breaking up organic bonds like couples at an orgy.

Even so, HF doesn't hold a candle in terms of danger (and oxidation potential) compared to fluorine peroxide / dioxygen difluoride / FOOF.

I'd love to hear what argument these fuck-knuckles have that would make, "I voted against family leave" - or even, "I voted against summer break for adults" - not make them unelectable...

For those wondering, that's a -6 from a range of -8...7 Harsh.

Yes.

Not only will metal fires break apart the water into oxygen and hydrogen, but they will consume the oxygen, as the metal oxide is a more stable energy state than is water. So you end up with a billow of hydrogen coming off the fire that mixes with the oxygen just above (because lighter gases rise) the oxygen-depleted zone of the fire, and it combusts there.

Context might also help. Bitcoin in 2014. What do you think the odds are he was recruited to help launder by the same folks propping Trump up?

May work. May not. Haven't tested.

You know what does work as a variable name? ಠ_ಠ

The axon and dendrite of the one cell don't speak to one another anymore, so we have to treat them as two.

Creating new objects would confuse your ORM vs. Always create new objects? Well, you've convinced me.

If you just made copy constructors in the first example, the problem wouldn't have existed. This is wholly contrived, and I feel dumber for having watched it.

Not even saying I like OOP, or that functional isn't usually a better paradigm - but this was the goofiest argument I've seen for it.

Incidentally, should I want it, I can take a paid month off at any time at my job.

I don't see why this is a problem, except that the GOP don't know how to run a business or a government.

I'm of the mind that the whole "AI could be an existential threat" mindset is some deeply "one simple trick" thinking mixed with "fear of the unknown" thinking. That is, there's some convoluted path towards the unattainable that superhuman AI could suss out and would have the resources to execute, that individual humans or groups thereof could not - and that path necessarily leads to destruction. I'm not well convinced by it.
