Weird article. Suddenly switches to talking about some other lady suing Netflix over an unrelated incident, and then the last half is only about that.
def path_is_valid(path: Path) -> bool:
if not path.exists():
return False
return True
There’s no reason for this function to exist. Can you see why?
Gleam is cool. I wrote some services with it to see if I wanted to use it for more projects. It seemed like a good option because it would be easy to teach.

guardsI think it would help narrow things down if you described what kind of website you want to build.
They explicitly said they want to build a website.
And how has this penalty incentivised any change in behavior? I assume the money will come from the school district, which is earmarked from local and federal taxes. So now there’s less money to pay for schools. In practice the school board may do as they wish with less funding until they are not reelected. Do you think they will be firing or docking pay of the people who are actually to blame?
Tidal is great but IIRC it either doesn’t support Amazon Echo or the integration is poorly implemented.
Scientists have been saying these same things my entire life. While they are absolutely correct, the necessary change does not seem to be a priority for leaders. At best it gets lip service and underwhelming commitments. At worst conservatives completely deny the problem. We have social issues blocking our scientific solutions.
I don’t think our existing leadership is capable of being proactive, we are always slow and reactive. We need more radical social change, which I only see happening once a certain generation dies and another takes their place.
This chart would be more readable if the corruption perception index were explained by having the polarity of the scale labeled. I.e. is green “corrupt” or not?
By following the source link, it looks like green = “clean” and gray = “corrupt”.
Same. I also found that, for my usage, I wasn’t actually saving any money compared to the unlimited data plan.
Do you think Valve is going to start deleting accounts over 100 years old?
It’s the Lagrangian of the standard model of particle physics
Yea it totally broke my Eternity client and I had to kill it and restart.
It’s almost like these languages were designed to solve different problems.
Sounds like Vermont gas prices are going up. That’s what happened in Seattle when similar legislation was passed.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I wasn’t making any value judgements in my original comment. Of course it’s not fun to pay more for gas, though I’m happy to do it if the money actually goes to green energy initiatives. Maybe it’s obvious to some people, but it seems somewhat deceptive to say that oil companies would be punished when really it is just a cost passed on to the consumer. This legislation won’t affect profits.
Interesting! It’s possible your teacher was trying to keep things simple, especially since most English speakers probably couldn’t tell you what the subjunctive mood is.
I don’t think I learned about the subjunctive mood in Spanish class for 5 years, by which time I was in the 8th grade.
Apparently it’s hard to get hired in software. Meanwhile, some of the worst software ever made is being written today. Have you tried using literally any software recently? We’re in this “barely good enough to function while being heavily supplemented by tech support” phase. I guess capitalism breeds incompetence as long as it’s still profitable?
