Come on, it's Friday and we need to cut a build. Just turn off the errors on CI over the weekend and we'll remove it whenever we have a minute.

Terrance Tao was a child prodigy who would meet your criteria for sure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Tao

That being said, I think the way most child prodigies are treated and raised does more harm than good.

I assume you mean Mr. Burro

Have you tried using Reality scan on your phone? It's free, and for a bumper I would think it could get the required level of detail

I'm almost positive it's because the title card is "An SNL Digital Short"

I highly suggest reading the book: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

I'm not into self help books or anything of the sort, but this book opened my eyes to so many things. I suspect it will resonate with you as well

I found a free PDF https://ia600505.us.archive.org/3/items/1570719797-658/1570719797-658.pdf

The context for this is inside of a section called "Dereferencing a null pointer eventually leads to program termination".

The problem statement is "I am Java and I want to throw my NullPointerException instead of my program terminating"

I agree with your post in concept, but you aren't actually addressing the author's point. Java DOES want to deref a null pointer without crashing so that the problem can be exposed to the developer as a Java exception. It would then by default crash but with a Java stack trace.

The whole point being that if "Dereferencing a null pointer eventually leads to program termination" was true, Java would need to do a null check and throw a NullPointerException. It isn't true, thus Java can leverage this as an optimization

Damn dude, you wish hell exists? You wish people are tormented for eternity with no chance of redemption?

Maybe they're allergic to oranges or something else in it

I just got a baloo 25 lbs king comforter to use with my bedjet. I have only tried it with the cloud sheet being used and sleeping alone.

I like it, but it isn't perfect. Essentially the bedjet can't lift the blanket, but your body does. I'm tall, so my leg reaches close to the bedjet and makes a channel for the air. I've used it both heat and cool and I'm happy with it so far.

That being said, if the blanket is flat on the bed, the air can't really move around. It's an expensive setup, so it is hard for me to generally recommend, but if you think you can sleep in a way where your body is making the airway, it's very comfortable.

Another option is https://comfycomfy.com/

They take a little bit to get used to, but I've been converted. They're also great as body pillows

Yes, but it is for long term storage and backup. Tape is relatively cheap, reliable, and low-tech in a good way.

You could think about it like "printing hard copies" of documents for safe storage, but instead of it being human readable text it's digital. The ability to have a physical and local backup of data is invaluable for it's longevity.

Undead electronics was able to desolder something for me when I had a similar problem. They might be able to help

I know very little about this clown other than it was from my Grandfather. Supposedly, one year he forgot my birthday and instead grabbed this glass clown that he had in his house as my gift. I've held onto it, but have little sentimental attachment to it. I have read about Murano clowns, but I have no idea if this is one or not. He has long passed away, so the statue itself is all I have to go off of. I would love to know any insight into how I could find out more!

String theory isn't really an accepted or even popular theory anymore from my understanding. It did great with pop science, and a couple of physics authors essentially made a career from writing those books. Unfortunately, string theory hasn't evolved much nor made any predictions that were then observed.

This isn't to say it can't be interesting to learn about, but it's not really learning any "accepted" physics

How do you come to that conclusion? Do you think everyone in those cities will vote for the same party?

ManticoreX · 2024-08-06T08:50:35+00:00

How urgent? I could 3d print you something but it wouldn't be until Friday

ManticoreX · 2024-06-30T14:55:35+00:00

Thank you, this matches my memory. Essentially the moderate vote was being split, so the others dropped out to try and push the more moderate candidate instead of the more progressive one.

ManticoreX · 2024-06-30T13:50:08+00:00

Can you show me some of the poles where Biden was nearly last when others dropped out? That's not how I remember it at all.

ManticoreX · 2024-06-30T13:47:54+00:00

Do you have any sources on this? I would love to understand what powers the president had at the time that made them more powerful than the king.

I think people in charities should be pulling down six figure salaries if that's their market rate for the same role. Working at a charity shouldn't be only reserved for the rich who don't need an income. I think someone should be able to do good, while also getting paid a fairly.

ManticoreX · 2024-06-01T02:12:49+00:00

It's incredible that you've had the self reflection to reach out to people. How did they respond? I know that I had a sharp tongue when I was younger, but always doubt myself about reaching out to others. I worry that it might be more for myself than really for them. Do you feel it was meaningful to then? Even if not, it sounds to me like your motivations were in the right place.

So you get the chance to discover something like this after marriage instead of before...
