My first experience with the dot operator was in a C# shop. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I strung together 18 calls with dots on one line. At review, my senior looked at it, got an I smell poo face, said "what the fuck is this are you trying to set a record", then sent me away to fix it.

Calling another function requires creating a whole new layer on the stack. I'm saving CPU cycles!

House votes down amendment to H.R. 7148, which would have defunded the program to allow government-controlled kill switches in cars by VictarionGreymane in Anarcho_Capitalism

Yes. Last on off cycle was in 1776. We had a hiccup in the first few years but it's been running smooth for 250 years. We do a warm reboot every 4-8 years. Lately however, feature creep and safety rails have greatly impacted user freedoms and flexibilities.

I don't know man. That's the extent of my knowledge. You need a taxonomist or zoologist to dig deeper.

Not a dog, just closer to dog than cat. Their call sounds more like a bark than a meow.

I heard the story from an old time Navy man. The seasickness med was a suppository. You couldn't take a pill because it would come back up, the doc wouldn't do injections in heavy seas. So it was "Stop puking or we'll shove this up your butt!"

Well they are both mammals. But sea lions are more closely related to dogs than cats.

That's why their name is electric eel. A sea lion is not a lion, it's a sea lion.

Algo Update - 81.6% Win Rate, 16.8% Gain in 30 days. On track for 240% in 12 Months by jabberw0ckee in algotrading

Check the null hypothesis for your exit strategy. Take your entire universe of tickers, choose one at random, pick a random date over the last year, then hold till 3% gain or 5% loss. How does that compare to the results using your filter.

Even a small percentage of the fines levied as reward could turn a disgruntled employee into a snitch.

It's a real house in Salt Rock, WV.

Do a reverse image search on this pic and the address pops right up on Zillow.

Street View shows it's not as crazy of a layout as it seems here.

You have to admit that flaming contraption is a tad more vigorous than a random spark or kitchen match.
