This is interesting to me. Drive through isn’t very popular in the UK, I think there’s a few KFCs and maybe McDonald’s/burger king.

But driving is such a pita I might as well cook or buy something from a supermarket if I’m going to do anything active.

Unless I’m on the way back home from a commute perhaps? I don’t really understand the business model. Also, what’s wrong with parking and walking in to get it? Leaving the engine running and crawling forwards to a window and then waiting anyway, I don’t get it.

Honestly in my younger years I had the time to hunt around for the right streams, rips, subtitle files etc, but it does take time and effort. For the price of a few sandwiches or a handful of coffees I don’t have to spend the time doing that anymore.

What’s annoying is that it’s not a single subscription anymore, it’s 4-5 subscriptions which really adds up over the month.

A lot of their constituency want the properties they own to go up in value. Or at least not down, which risks negative equity.

STAR. For every question try to give a situation, task, action and result which came from you personally. E.g. situation, someone was manually copying data from an online portal every month. As a task, you’re asked to write some code which scrapes an API, and you defined the task via docs and planned tests. Then as an action you worked on it for a few days, and the result was the company didn’t need to manually spend a few days per month doing it, freeing up people to do more exciting things.

It shows you understand the problem and know how to go about solving it in a professional way.

I can’t tell if you’re joking and deliberately invoking the original comic above

Do we know for sure that Reddit doesn’t keep an edit history for comments?

How does a rainbow table help here? They’re more for decoding unsalted encrypted database tables, rather than for actually trying to login.

Agreed. Mypy pre-commit hooks are very useful if you’re starting a fresh project. Adding typing to an existing project which reuses variables with different types… We lost weeks to it.

JSON parsers are getting me recently. The error is somewhere on or after row 1, char 1. Maybe.

Possibly it’s a BOM issue, or someone used double quotes typed on a Mac keyboard. Good luck.

I hadn’t thought of this. 1 way ticket to Vegas please!

Isn’t this some flavour of fraud? Not from the US, so this is all pretty bizarre to me.

KDE. Not a distro, but I can’t get on with it. Too much screen real estate used by flashy things, and everything moves. I want instant transitions not a shwoosh. It’s probably all toggleable, but I don’t want to fiddle with it for every install or release.

Are we considering the notion that Santa doesn’t just know if human children have behaved themselves, but also all ages of various animals too?

Does he know if my goldfish is a dick? Has he ever given anything except coal to a cat? Does he know whether all dogs are good dogs?

I have a shelf of ducks, and I organised for everyone in the company to get a branded rubber duck at our last meetup. But there’s apparently something special about trying to show buggy code to a real person.

Entirely the opposite for me. Code which I haven’t been able to get to run for days suddenly runs first time when I ask someone to do a code walkthrough with me. Infuriating.

MOT every year in the UK, similar stuff

I know of 4 people who have had it within the last 2 months. We’re still in the COVID years.

Well. Hmm. Gonna go do some introspection now.
