  • Important context:

    This is often an exercise for beginning programmers, it's a very simple task that's easy to understand, but leaves enough room in the implementation to make it a good exercise.

    Sometimes it's used as a test on job applications, which is total bullshit, it isn't a good test of someones actual skills as a software developer. Because of this it's become a bit of a joke on the internet.

  • Well that's a very biased pool tho. Don't disagree with the general fact people were shorter in the past. But such a selected pool is a poor data point.

  • Smart, because spammers log which numbers have responded and put them on a hot list. Those hot lists get traded around, which will greatly increase the amount of spam you receive.

    Just block and report and never respond.

  • In my experience it will write three paragraphs about the mistake, what went wrong and how to fix it. Only to then output the exact same code, or very close to it, with the same bug. And once you get into that infinite loop, it's basically impossible to get out of it.

  • Many providers have specific clauses for this. Ever since crypto mining became a thing providers have included in general terms you can't over use the service. And often specifically against using it for crypto mining.

    Providers will normally warn users and only kick them off when no explanation is forthcoming.

    Usually this applies to shared services, like a VPS. You pay a lower price because you share hardware. But that only works if the hardware is shared fairly. If another user hogs all the resources, the service is no good for anyone. But it can also apply to seemingly dedicated services, like your own server for example. In that case the server is free to be used for whatever, but things like cooling and power are still shared. A regular dedicated server service will be based on typical use and can kick users out who require too much cooling or power. In cases where the resources are legitimately required, they will offer contracts that allow you to use all of the resources all of the time. But in turn you will have to pay a premium for something like that.

    On the surface it may seem like a bit of bullshit, but that's often what allows prices to be as low as they are. So I'm fine with it, as long as it's made clear beforehand (which in my experience it is)

  • This version of Riker better not awaken anything in me.

  • Musk literally gave Trump a script for desperate ‘Tesla ad’

    Jump

  • All cars have Full Self Driving. Except "Full Self Driving" is just a brand name as Tesla explained it to the judge. They are in fact SAE Level 2, which is not what a regular person would expect hearing that name. Musk has been shouting they will have level 3, 4 or even 5 this year for years now.

    Other brands have Level 3 cars for sale now. But all the dumb car "tech" sites still claim Tesla is the best. But in fact it's only their marketing that's best.

    Trump was reading from a sales pitch during the White House event with Elon Musk

  • Yeah it's been known for years he can't see shit. But he is too vain to wear glasses in public. He does wear them in private, there are some pics out there. Which is pretty normal for someone his age.

    This is part of why his speeches are always so weird and fucked up. He misreads because he needs his glasses and then makes shit up to try and cover for it. The speech prepared is usually evil and fucked up in different ways, but at least coherent. Then when Trump tries to read them a lot of nonsense comes out.

  • Etherium logo finally makes sense

  • I don't think it's worth the discussion, but comparing a fiat currency like the US dollar with crypto currency is a false equivalence argument. They aren't even comparable.

  • It never had any value, like all other crypto currencies. But it was used to fake value and dupe people out of their money.

  • I can answer this one for you. That number is not actually the name of the product, but the vendor code or manufacturer SKU.

    I've had some experience in how these SKUs come to be for large brands. In a lot of cases the people developing the new models have like a whole list of monitors they could create. Out of these a selection is made for which they will create, which capabilities are good etc. This is done per region and even if the capabilities are exactly the same, it will get a different SKU for the different region. This is important because the labeling could be different, often different plugs and manuals are included. Sometimes different paperwork needs to be filed, so it's important the SKU matches the region. From this list of product SKUs the manufacturer can create for a region local distributors choose which ones they think are good for their market. This can often be hard and different distributors can choose different SKUs (depending on the manufacturer). Out of this list of available SKUs in the channel the shops can select which ones they want to carry. Some shops just carry them all (especially when dropshipping), other shops carefully select which ones they like.

    This leads the shops to have seemingly random SKUs and nonsense numbers. But that's because those SKUs were figured out all the way back in step one. Those lists can be huge and all the numbers need to be unique. Normally there is some sort of internal structure used to generate the SKUs. But the end result is just a confusing mess of numbers.

    When looking at for example distributor level at what they carry or what is offered, the numbers make a little more sense.

    So it isn't ideal, but there is reason to the madness.
