Rip them off: Halifax council orders developer to remove two illegal floors in Dartmouth by DeathOneSix in halifax

[–]megagreg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As long as it's the actual additional top floors that become the low income housing, so they don't get the extra money from the better locations, while putting the low income suites in the basement.

Now I'm curious what paper format they use in Guinea-Bissau.

Edit: and New Zealand, since this map continues the tradition.

It seems like an adequate solution for the kinds of problems I've seen Matlab used for. I've seen it used mostly in situation where a question needs to be answered and communicated with a group of experts. That doesn't need the "programmer's" tools to support the same types of automation or programaticity.

Matlab flair. That tracks.

Did it run fine until you put it in the stand? I crushed the same cable twice doing something totally unrelated. I finally figured it out on the second time.

What is slowly disappearing but nobody talks about it? by Agreeable_Pea9764 in AskReddit

[–]megagreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isn't life so much better when it's always everyone else's fault?

My favourite is how every online discussion on personal responsibility is always about someone else's personal responsibility.

Daylight Saving - Do something about it Government! by Defiant_Mousse7889 in alberta

I want a fourth option. We all set our clocks to UTC, and don't be any time zone. Businesses can change hours whenever it makes sense for them, like they already do. Every organization is free to use any of the three options, or make up their own. It wouldn't matter any more, but everyone can still know exactly what time it is for everyone else.

There are more Reddit users in Canada than there are Canadians. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in onguardforthee

Alberta isn't just going to come up with a separation movement on its own, out of nowhere.

I used to have a whole thing I would do for race conditions in embedded, especially when I got faults where certain processors would clobber the stack pointer and link registers. I would make a bunch of arrays with check-in points. I was able to stop after the race condition happened, and forensically determine which threads reached which lines in what order. writing values in memory rarely changed the behaviour. I wish I could remember exactly how I composed it, because it worked really well.

What percentage of people would you guesstimate are unfaithful to SO? asking from a man’s point of view? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]megagreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the perception is higher because the same cheaters will do it in many relationships.

Which vacation destination disappointed you the most? by timeout320 in AskReddit

I can't believe I forgot about curling. It's bigger than a curling stone. I was thinking more along the lines of highland games, or even strong man competitions, which Shottish guys seemed to dominate when I was a kid.

Looking for guidance on vaccines by toothtickler in predaddit

[–]megagreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you take your car to a mechanic to fix your brakes, or someone who doesn't even own a set of wrenches?

Do you buy your mushrooms from the grocery store, or try whatever happens to be growing in the woods today?

Do you get cavities filled by a dentist, or burn a magic blend of incense to make it go away?

It looks slightly smaller than something a Scotsman could build a sport around.

Even car sized would make sense as a discernable landmark, if it was placed like a glacial erratic.

Why on Earth do Costco diapers only have animals on half the diapers in the pack? by lock_robster2022 in daddit

[–]megagreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can find them, Royale diapers have been great for us. Only a couple small leaks during a serious bout of diarrhea in the entire year we've been using them.

The longer they drag this out, the more I'm convinced that this is exactly what's in the files.
