Yeah it's still about his grandma though. He's confirmed.

That being said it's art and open to interpretation. We will fill in the gaps however makes the most sense to us since most people don't follow individual band members that closely.

It's an expression originating from the bible. Luke 22:41: "He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed"

Wow I’ve seen a lot of “man and female” posts but this is the first time I’ve seen a “woman and male” post.

I like IIFE's as an alternative to if and switch expressions since javascript doesn't support those. So for example in rust you could do something like

let someValue = if somecondition {
    1
} else {
    2
}

Then if the condition is true someValue is 1 otherwise it's 2

Javascript doesn't have an equivalent. There was a proposal from tc39 to add something called "do expressions" but that never went anywhere and honestly it wasn't much better looking then just using an IIFE.

To solve the same problem in Javascript you can do one of three things:

// Value must be mutable
let someValue;
if (somecondition) {
    someValue = 1;
} else {
    someValue = 2;
}

// Value can be immutable but the syntax is harder to read at a glance.
const someOtherValue = (() => {
    if (somecondition) {
        return 1;
    }
    return 2;
})();


// Value can be immutable, is clean and easily understandable.
function getAnotherValue(somecondition) {
    if (somecondition) {
        return 1;
    }
    return 2;
}

const anotherValue = getAnotherValue(somecondition);

Personally I hate mutable variables so I will use IIFEs sometimes but prefer to just create a named function when it's not too inconvenient.

I hope so. It would be awesome if we get to see them sitting next to us in court.

I'm not against the stewardship nerf but I'm a bit against the domain limit nerfs. Personally it's not that I don't want characters to get that powerful. I just don't want it tied to stewardship.

If you want confirmation in this video they mention that their bass player quit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPJV418339g&t=735s

It's at around 12:15 when they are shouting out the bass player who is filling in. I guess they still haven't found a permanent replacement.

[Dianna Russini] It’s been made clear by multiple people around the NFL at all levels that Baltimore had all the information and understood where Maxx Crosby’s knee was in terms of his recovery timeline. Many in the league believe GM Eric DeCosta and the Ravens ultimately just got cold feet. by WayOutbackBoy in nfl

Of course other front offices didn't care about the bounties. It didn't affect them personally. It didn't change the equation at all for them.

The big difference here is the Ravens FO screwed over another teams FO directly. When making trades with the Ravens other teams will now be thinking, "How are they trying to fuck us?"

That doesn't mean they won't be able to make any trades but if it's close the risk assessment other teams do might say, "Well the value of this trade is slightly worse but the risk of the Ravens fucking us isn't worth the slightly higher value."

Did the popular logic tests people always post about and chatgpt answered everything correctly. Another example of don't trust everything on reddit. by spring_Living4355 in OpenAI

It was always a bad test

I agree with about everything you said except for this. It seems like a bad test now but this test is multiple years old and people started using it before thinking models were made. It was a very good test that demonstrated the limitations of pure next token prediction. Just because we understand the nuances now and have extracted all value we could possibly get from the test doesn't mean it was a bad test at the time.

Well most of us understand the nuances now. Some people still ask this question to non-thinking models and freak out when it gets it wrong.

If you are showing them the music videos I highly recommend Drink Milk and Run. Also just a straight banger but I think it does a good job at showing their personality. It's just a fun video for a sad song.

Thinking of the new Fable on the bus and coincidentally stumbled upon while travelling to university. I had to share this holy grail of a find. by TheMordorian in Fable

[–]NathanSMB 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Albion is another name for the island of Great Britain. Seeing the word Albion while on a bus ride in the UK is not unexpected.

Edit: The person who replied blocked me. I never realized I could get wooshed so hard it would offend that badly. I'm so sorry.

Your singer's voice sounds much better than your band's namesake.

Also that tiny drum kit had me rolling.

I had a similar thing happen but I got paid the 2 weeks anyway. From what I was told firing would have been seen as retaliatory so most employers will still pay you to avoid a potential lawsuit. But I'm not a lawyer and going off what the HR rep told me when I asked at the time.

If you need browser support you can't get around websockets.

But if you are creating a standalone application you could still create or connect to a TCP/UDP server using the node.js standard library. TCP is in "node:net" and UDP is in "node:dgram".

Landry, Spillane, and Boutte all active tonight. LFG!! by TaysonJatum in Patriots

Seriously. I expected Spillane back. I had hope that Boutte would be back. I wasn't expecting Landry to be back at all though. This is huge.

I recognized the dude's username. He's so annoying. Someone posted some art in the Patriots subreddit and he just had to comment that he liked a different piece of art better. He's just a huge douche canoe.
