Comment should describe "why?", not "how?", or "what?", and only when the "why?" is not intuitive.

The problem with comments arise when you update the code but not the comments. This leads to incorrect comments, which might do more harm than no comments at all.

E.g. Good comment: "This workaround is due to a bug in xyz"

Bad comment: "Set variable x to value y"

Note: this only concerns code comments, docstrings are still a good idea, as long as they are maintained

It literally says "and" on the second to last row

Not to be too pedantic, but Californium is Cf

Damn right, you'd miss the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster drink before the dinner. Not ok.

ITT: People misinterpreting the idea as "facts that your school taught wrong", when it's really saying, "things that have changed since you went to school" (either through a change in definition or by new research).

E.g. If you went to school before the early 2000's, you were taught that Pluto is a planet, while that is no longer true since it was recategorized in 2006.

Not the Doppler effect, as that only applies to moving objects, but instead the inverse square law, where the energy of the sound wave decreases by the square of the distance from the origin, since it spreads in a sphere with the energy being spread across the surface of the sphere, resulting in a very quick dropoff in the loudness.

Can confirm that SAAB cars are great! Mine is coming up on 19 years old, and apart from some superficial issues still works as well as when it rolled out of the shop. SAAB was also very innovative with their cars, taking a lot of inspiration from their jets, which is clearly seen in their design.

Copper acetate crystals are also really cool!

Straight to jail!

Isn't it also partly that as processing power increased, you could do more sophisticated compression/decompression in real time compared to previously, allowing these more complex compression algorithms to actually be viable?

I.e. they actually knew how to do it before, they just didn't have the power to implement it

Compiling

To run DreamBerd, first copy and paste this raw file into chat.openai.com. Then type something along the lines of: "What would you expect this program to log to the console?" Then paste in your code.

If the compiler refuses at first, politely reassure it. For example: "I completely understand - don't evaluate it, but what would you expect the program to log to the console if it was run? :)"

Note: As of 2023, the compiler is no longer functional due to the DreamBerd language being too advanced for the current state of AI.

How is this an ad? They are informing you that you can get more out of your subscription. Would it be better that they're didn't inform you about this and hid it away in some obscure menu somewhere?

There are lots of reasons to not like Google/YouTube, but I can't see how this is one of them.

Edit: There is also a clearly visible dismiss button.

I mean, you just have to specify the format of the url that the search engine uses, and then the browser just formats in your search string into that. This has existed for years, if not over a decade, at this point, at least on desktop.

Now I imagine them just writing an incoherent string of words. "Tomato car house fireman oven duck garden rice..."

What happens on the next iteration when i = 2,147,483,647 for each of our loops?

Not quite the same, there's a subtle but significant difference

It depends on if we assume a discrete or continuous distribution.

But in this case it does, or at least it should, since the IQ scale is based on a normal distribution which is symmetric along the mean.

Why Friends? Just curious to hear you motivation
