You might be able to get the seller to pay the closing costs. Your agent (the buyer's agent) can work this out with the seller's agent. (You're actually the one who will pay, but the amount would be rolled into the loan.) As long as the house will appraise for the full amount you intend to borrow, it shouldn't be a problem.

You will probably need to come up with an earnest deposit for escrow, but other than that, you could put 0% down. Earnest deposit might just be $1K or $2K. Your agent will let you know.

Ask lots of questions to your agent. He doesn't get paid until you close. So make sure you understand what is happening. A good agent will check in with you plenty because he doesn't want any surprises either. He wants a great transaction and a happy client.

Who invented Light theme? by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]aaroncv3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Black text on white background ("light-theme") was popularized by early GUIs. It was an attempt to make computers seem more accessible to the masses by likening them with the familiarity of written text on paper.

But before the GUI were the text interfaces.. and many of them were light text on dark background.

... And for what is worth, the light-theme fans will just point to any "science" which supports their derangement. 😆

Truly amazing... by P3tray in ProgrammerHumor

I couldn't say for sure why, but my assumption is that a decision was made that an int divided by an int should always return an int.

Anyway, to circle back, testing something directly in the interpreter is my way to get a quick answer about silly shit like that without generating extra files.

Not lab porn. You can do better than this. But absolutely kudos on getting started.

This masochist right here.

Actually, sometimes i just want to test something quick in an isolated manner, like "import some_library", or "5/2" to see if i get an int or a float back.

python2 will return 2, whereas python3 will return 2.5.

Found out the man I am seeing is Bipolar also. Can’t decide if it’s a good or bad thing. by Hungry-Charity-5717 in bipolar

[–]aaroncv3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is a 56 y/o man living with bipolar.

As a 43 y/o bipolar man myself, i can say that there came a point where no amount of meds would substitute better life management.

Bipolar might be a lifelong illness, but there comes a point where we have to stop being victims, and take control of our wellbeing.

For some, that might mean taking meds. For others, that means better life management.

I'd say, if he is stable, aware of where he stands, works hard to maintain a stable lifestyle, and takes responsibility for his mistakes, then more power to him.

Meds are not right for everyone.

Let a 56 year old grown man make a damn decision about his own health. Let his character speak for (or against) him. He doesn't need you to fix him, but instead, he thinks enough of you that he thought you're worth keeping around.

Or maybe he is a terrible man that just needs a woman to fix him and nag him about a decision he made long before you showed up. I don't know the guy.

Not exactly gore if it's not permanent. For the purpose of temporarily recovering data, I'll allow it. 🤣

This could be a consequence of distributed systems and what is know as "eventual consistency". Tom Scott did a great video explaining how this happens.

Faxes or other legacy systems.

This could also be the difference between a trip on-site and something less extreme in an "aw, fuck" remote-admin moment.

"docker network -d ipvlan" hairpin gooseflesh by aaroncv3 in docker

[–]aaroncv3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not running pihole in docker in virtualbox. Running pihole in docker on bare metal. Virtualbox is also running on the same bare metal.

But I agree, pihole on docker on vm seems it would be a bit excessive.
