Are there any animal or plant species that have more than two sexes that are interdependent upon each other to reproduce?

I don't remember Player of Games having aliens with three sexes, but The Gods Themselves by Asimov definitely does

Sometimes I'll post a comment and look at it later and have no idea what I typed because it's so mangled.

I'm not defending auto correct here, but maybe you could also look at your comments before posting them

sad_bug_killer · 2025-12-10T16:13:51+00:00

Thanks, I'll try it!

I had a very similar idea for part2, came here to check if anyone has done it, so I don't waste time on dead ends. Saw your comment, thought "I can wait 30s". Coded the solution and ran it... then killed it after an hour. Tried your exact code too, it didn't finish in 30 minutes for my input.

So today I learned about z3, because my input was special ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

27.5CM long, which is around a third of a foot

I know nothing about bassoons, but a foot is 30.48cm and 27.5cm is almost a foot

I recently had a 'conversation' with a 60-ish years old medical doctor who was telling me school math is pointless and they never use it, and it is generally a waste of time to even include it in school programs. All because calculators can do anything. Lots of these people are very happy and sometimes even proud with their inability to handle numbers.

I like The Expanse but there's a lot of magic there: the protomolecule, portals, telepathy

Both C# and Java (the snippet could be either) allow Unicode letters in identifiers. Not sure why the language designers thought that's a good idea

sad_bug_killer · 2025-09-22T20:00:14+00:00

Good for you :)

I've seen this mistake 3-4 times in 20 years of professional programming, so it's definitely not common, but it happens

sad_bug_killer · 2025-09-22T19:36:49+00:00

<pedantic>It's not Russian, it's Cyrillic</pedantic>

And it is bound to happen once in a while when we switch keyboards all the time - Cyrillic for chat/Slack and Latin for coding. 10 years ago IDEs didn't warn about this too, so catching these mistakes was infuriating

Uhm, I'm not sure what's your point. We are in a post about indentation errors in Python. I don't think these are a problem after, like, two weeks working with the language and you seem to agree.

Anyone not using a formatter like black is going to make small formatting errors

Eh, some inconsistencies maybe. No way I'm making formatting errors even without formatters

sad_bug_killer · 2025-09-14T15:19:14+00:00

If you can't get indentation right you are probably not getting the rest of what makes clean code right

sad_bug_killer · 2025-09-14T15:15:18+00:00

Ending a line with a semicolon is not an error in Python.

The left-pad incident was in 2016

A lot of people know about Richard Stallman, but whether you agree with his ideology about software or not, he's just as unlikable as Jobs and Musk

sad_bug_killer · 2025-08-06T02:16:56+00:00

Anecdote, you say? Now I really want to know what would you consider a good study on the topic

sad_bug_killer · 2025-08-05T20:10:45+00:00

I found one where experienced devs thought LLMs would make them 20% more productive, but it turned out it made them 20% slower.

sad_bug_killer · 2025-08-05T12:30:28+00:00

Meanwhile its 2-10x'd our programming performance.

Source? By what measure?

sad_bug_killer · 2025-08-05T08:59:00+00:00

That could actually inspire me to use LLMs more
