That the four good emperors of Rome, namely Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pious and Marcus Aurelius had a good thing going until Marcus by deciding to pass the empire to their adopted sons. Nerva was also there with his excellent decision to adapt Trajan out of everyone.

This is portrayed as an altruistic non-nepotism move when in reality they were all childless. Nerva and Antoninus specifically selected because they were old and childless and Hadrian was just straight up gay. They probably would have passed on the empire to their sons if they had them.

Turns out you can, by using () instead of {} in the function declaration you can run the function in a subshell where changes to variables are scoped to the subshell and functions are local.

Wikipedia agrees with you. Commonly viewed as a psuodoscience. The equipment is very good at amplifying subtle hand movements.

You’re not forced into global forced variables, but they’re the default. Use the local keyword in front of the variable declaration for nicely scoped variable.

It’s not that cumbersome to do things like

local date=`date`
echo "$date"

but in all honesty the syntax sucks ass because it’s not intuitive. If statements suck ass, passing variables has to be done via command line arguments sucks ass, switch statements suck ass, making structured data sucks ass (jq is nice though).

I agree with you that bash really sucks when you get to anything more than 10 lines and at that point I’d take literally prefer Dreamberd.

It’s true that the ears receive stereo input, but brain postprocesses it to make surround sound. It uses the time difference from sound hitting your right and left ear to do some black magic and figure out at which angle the sound is coming from.

Another interesting part on this is that the brain is pretty bad at detecting whether a sound is coming from the front or back of the head so it uses visual cues and combines it with the processed sound to make it seem like it’s coming from either the front or the back.

That’s the neat part, the brain does that using some black magic. You just have to add all the sounds individual waves together and the brain deciphers it.

Now let’s prove that 7x6 is also the answer to the ultimate question.

Disregarding the case where you are a Marmite supremacist I’ll say why.

Vegemite and marmite can be thought of as a bitter spice to put on top of butter toast. Just like with salt you can put nothing, way too much and the just right amount. The just right amount is way more subjective than tomatoes or cheese on breat since it can vary by a factor of 20-50x.

I have converted some people to eating marmite and I do it by putting 2-3mm of a knifes tip on the toast and spreading it as thin as possible.

I think 1000 or 2000 for me. I know it’s optimal to put it on my mortgage but that’s an amount I would use the excuse of “having to spend it” to spend it on myself. 20k in cleared debt is like 1.4k yearly expense reduced which really moves the needle. If you pay off 1k a month you’re effectively increasing the payoff rate by 12%.

Wizard of Oz sepia “filter” fits in here?

I’m also going to in honesty pick Brazil (1985). It still holds up really well.

Download a picture from the Internet, move it to the desktop with the file explorer only. Then print it out.

I live in Iceland and we try to predict volcanic activity all the time and it’s off by weeks or months. To be fair, that’s a blink of an eye on a geological scale so it’s pretty accurate but the nature of the problem is that you have so many forces that all interact with each other.

It’s pretty similar to “how far can you tip the chair back before it falls” but we don’t know the size, weight and shape of the chair really well. You just need one fracture in the rock from previous earthquake to throw all the calculations off.

I don’t know the context of the post but I imagine it’s media related, like a seismologist saying “could be as soon as tomorrow” and the journalist just saying “earthquake tomorrow”. Also seismologist don’t shut up is true.

Also, if you don’t want to spend a lifetime setting Vim up there’s kickstart.

Musakhan, a Palestinian onion pizza topped with 1/4 chicken.

If the argument is fair and both parties are open then I think I could win an argument that exercise is crucial for a long and healthy life.

Being hot and horny does it for me.

I remember some things kinda clearly because they had a big impact on me. It was something that was unfair, I seriously misunderstood something, I was afraid or something else. I used to actively recall my life every now and then but haven’t done it in the last decade.

Some people do journal though so they can read the entries, get the vibes and crank out a biography story by going over context, delivering the story, then aftermath thoughts.

Only one way to save them. Write a diary or a mini biography. Just pick some stories you like and write them down and they become permanent.

Depends. In the case of Angular the docs are very good so I read large sections of it. Doing the hero intro was really good at getting me up to speed.

For dotnet I don’t like them. It’s 50% reference manual and has few examples for the more niche things.

Exponentially growing requirements that out pace rewards. I don’t want to spend 10 hours grinding just to level up.
