🤣

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

For a minute I thought you were going for that Joy Division cover.

She’s right, of course: That’s exactly what Charlie Kirk would want, on both counts. 🤬

So, which cat did you vote for? 😜

Ok. Looking at the package, I’m guessing you’re letting users submit their own solve_disk function?

Precisely how this is accomplished, depends heavily on what programming language you are looking at.

So I think a common way of handling approximately handling this would be a try/catch block. This allows you to just go ahead and attempt the calculation, and if there is some sort of problem with it, then rather than crash the program, you can give it alternate instructions.

*blink* My knee-jerk response to that is: beware Bobby Tables.

Very curious what this project is now…

Well… what happens when it’s undefined?

Normally I’d just have a look at the code to start with.

You’d contaminate the compost pile.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

Tom Clancy’s Red Hat, Blue Hat

Well, that and not having millionaire money to start with.

I keep saying this but it remains true: Dems have not learned the central lesson of Reconstruction, that multiracial democracy cannot survive when those working to overthrow the rule of law & fair elections are allowed to operate with impunity.

We did five in a weekend when we did Boston. I feel you.

On reflection, I think that’s what Milgram showed us in the 60s: The most insidious, seductive thing you can tell people is and always has been “It’s not your fault. You are not responsible.” (Followed immediately by pointing a finger and shouting “They are!”)

Very interesting thread about college applicants and how they obtain information about your college.

MK and I went to Portsmouth for an anniversary several years back, and stayed at this lovely B&B just across the river in Kittery. Fantastic trip - I imagine Portland was similar.

This summary of Newsom is 100% spot-on.

alright, there's very little about issues on his web site so I had to go digging, but he's on record as opposing the removal of gender identity as a protected class in Iowa and went all Niemoller-poem when someone asked him about trans rights, so yes, enjoy watching this video
