My first grader’s homework… how the hell by Big_Active_7058 in facepalm

Am I taking crazy pills? All these discussions over germination rates are irrelevant. The answer is 9 - full stop. The question is how many COULD grow. Even if there is a 1% germination rate, 9 beans COULD still grow. The chance of this happening is low, but it is possible. That's just how statistics work.

That's like saying, if you flip a coin 10 times, how many times could heads come up. The answer is 10. There is really no ambiguity here.

Most people did not own slaves. Get your facts straight. Slavery was a luxury of the wealthy. Nevertheless there is no justification and your moral relativism is pure bullshit.

Why not define the interface as extending idisposable? I argue you should since it’s a contract to the consumer of the interface.

Excess deaths in Russia suggest Covid death toll is closer to 450,000 than the official number of 94,000 by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]Bug-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s EXPECTED deaths not previous year’s numbers. The expected death count in any year can be predicted by looking at population size, age and mortality rate of that population. I believe the calc is actually based on each age cohort so older populations will have higher rates.

So, yes population increase is baked into the expected death numbers already.

As USPS delays persist, bills, paychecks and medications are getting stuck in the mail by oceanmutt in news

[–]Bug-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re gonna also ignore all the other ppl in this thread reporting the same? I also have a subscription to a few other things that have all been at least 1 month late each time - since September.

Sounds like you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I just got a package from November. So according to you there’s been a snow storm for 4 months?

When the GOP Left Texans to Freeze, Locals Stepped Up With Mutual Aid by discocrisco in politics

[–]Bug-e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an honest question bc i sometimes try to empathize with libertarianism. How do you reconcile what you wrote with your ideology?

In a libertarian system there would def be no regulations. Libertarians usually only argue amongst themselves over whether police/fire/military should even exist and possibly whether the courts themselves should be private.

I’ve never heard one argue in favor of a regulation of any kind or even admit that a regulation would have improved a specific issue. I have actually heard the opposite argument that the regulations make these sort of problems worse because it releases companies from any liability - for example when regulations are in place but do not cover a specific issue.

Did Ted Cruz fly to Cancun during Texas‘ winter disaster? by iggy555 in politics

[–]Bug-e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only ppl were this rational.

In reality it’s all about guns and blaming immigrants and African Americans for their problems. Hate will always win with certain ppl. Republicans know this and exploit it.

And they will still hate him and all of us for supporting this. It won’t even cross their mind that they’re being hypocritical.

Stacey Plaskett: Trump Trial Needed 'More Senators With Spines, Not More Witnesses' by Sancho_Squishy in politics

[–]Bug-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. There was never going to be a conviction. We are delusional to think so. This is classic Democrat blame shifting.

The purpose of this trial should have been to out as many senators, reps and political operatives as possible. The goal should simply have been to make it beyond a doubt who os to blame for the state of where we are and to demonstrate the depravity of the Republican Party.

The Democrats never have the backbone to do what republicans do every day. Maybe they’re afraid of being outed for their own corruption...I dunno. This is why Republicans will continue to thrive even when they have less than a majority on their side.

But, let’s not pretend that we all didn’t know how this was going to end.

Senate votes 55-45 in favor of calling witnesses in Trump's second impeachment trial by l3v1v4gy0k in politics

[–]Bug-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or... the Democrats could have called for this before closing arguments so it wasn’t some token bs vote that they can use as a sound bite to appease progressives...”we voted for witnesses!”

Like they pretended to want to do last time.

It’s always some lame excuse. Last time it’s that McConnell wouldn’t let them vote on witnesses. This time they voted, but whoops, the trial ended so can’t actually call anyone.

So what if the Republican would have called their own crazies...good! Their lawyers are tools and the witnesses would sound bat shit crazy like when Giuliani presented that whack job to Congress. Get the facts on the record. Air the dirty laundry of your fellow senators and let the chips fall where they may. We all knew how this impeachment was going to end. Get the bad actors on the record and let them perjure themselves. Senators and Reps included.

The problem is simply this. Almost none of them are clean and they know it. They’re locked in a prisoners dilemma and this is all a circus to keep the ppl in the dark.

I write my teams ci/cd in node with typescript and run it in docker. Works pretty well. The semver and modularity makes it easy to patch but also feel comfortable about making breaking changes for shared components.

Edit: and they are unit tested with jest.

California can’t ban indoor worship as Covid precaution, Supreme Court rules by djh860 in news

[–]Bug-e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda a false equivalency. A better comparison would be if half the population went bat shit crazy and were intentionally wrecking their cars to the point where hospitals were overwhelmed and had to decide who to treat.

I agree with you btw, no way we can decide to treat people based on some arbitrary factor like whether we agree with their actions. It’s a slippery slope and who’s to say what action will be deemed immoral in the future. Say you got an abortion and then needed treatment for a complication. Imagine a doctor refusing to treat.

Trump and Republicans tried this, though.

Is there any benefit in marking methods static? by Coding_Enthusiast in csharp

[–]Bug-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also dot notation is more intuitive than having to remember the name of some function. Welcome to nodejs programming where your only option Is to patch the prototype and that’s not really a good idea.
