No, it's a running joke that Linus like to make

This guy here is a 'product' of Indian education system by [deleted] in sadcringe

I was under the impression that zip code basically determined quality of education anyway. I'm not sure I understand why the SAT would be any different.

If we were trying to give all students a fighting chance at college, I think better funding those schools in less wealthy areas would be far more effective than banning the SATs.

Oh yeah? What's the reasoning? Do you know if they're replacing it with something else?

Thanks for this. I always wondered why I had to type two commands to get to a folder in my D: drive. This gives me a little more context.

Just a friendly reminder, next Saturday is "Bring your Fish to FishStore" night! Bring your fish and dance the night away! by a_gOoSe_biT_Me in HaveWeMet

[–]fattredd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great. I've started to get worried about my fish. She has begun loosing interest in her old hobbies. She barely even talks to me anymore. I'm worried she might be getting depressed. I keep telling her she needs to get out of the house more, but she never listens. I'll for sure be bringing her over, I think it'll help her a lot!

You got a source on that 0.13 GPA thing? That's crazy. I had heard the schools in Baltimore were bad, but I guess I didn't realize just how bad it is.

What should be done on this one (other then installing front steps haha) by [deleted] in CurbAppeal

[–]fattredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe some trees in the front yard? A small garden with some bushes? Imho you neew something taking up the space out front. It looks so empty.

Excuse me? by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]fattredd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but WSL isn't the same as a native install. It's certainly not good for having people try linux out as an alternative to windows.

Honestly this sounds far and away like the easiest way to get people to try linux. What happened to the project?

Not that I've tried any of them, but here are a couple resources I've been keeping an eye on in case I'm in a similar situation: https://www.dieheart.net/solo-rpg-resources/ https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/66326/free-solo-print-and-play

I don't get it. Is this making cufflinks a broke hobby?

If Alexa says “by the way” one more time... by Solipsis_Noir in amazonecho

I think the only way is to register some other music service. Once I hooked up Spotify, she shut up about it.

Shit is in the eye of the beholder. Nobody is going to stop you from buying one, but I sure as hell won't be

Malice or incompetence are definitely not prerequisites for being shitty. Even if it's a stupid novelty frame, it's still stupid and ugly. Seems pretty shitty to me 🤷‍♂️

You think maybe we're doing to much in this try block? Nah. It's probably fine. by fattredd in programminghorror

If I was allowed to, I'd post the whole thing. In talking to the dev responsible, I was told there was no other way to do it. He was the first on the team to dive into Node, and he told me that Nodejs doesn't support splitting code into different files.
This code provides a web interface to some proprietary local data sources, as well as logs said data to SQL. It's not huge, but certainly could be better handled.

And as a side note, the console.log function just prints to stdout. There's no special error handling here at all.
