There are many regexes that validate email, and they usually aren’t compliant with the RFC, there are some details in the very old answer on SO. So, better not validate and just send a confirmation, than restrict and lock people out, imo

That’s true, there’s even a party game that consists solely of controversial topics to talk about, not even this kind of weird ones

Also a spin-off where Trolley Man cures incurable patients one by one using sacrifices of 5

Living with knowing you did nothing to save 4 people may affect you as badly. To be fair, the person doing the choice is fucked up both ways, if ey is not a sociopath.

testing oneself with fun hypotheticals

fun

you’ve got a peculiar taste for fun, I must admit

I kinda think it’s more to create contrast than to signify eating innocence

True hero’s move, really, retire and let others become heroes (half /s)

and which of these two you are going to get paid more for

It looks like exactly 4 characters are missing, so public and static would fit, but I never saw static instead of public static, so I think you’re right. On the other hand, I don’t use Java anymore and couldn’t be bothered about such details

Depends on what was the course about. If it’s about computation, then sure. If it’s about OOP or architecture design (this one I wouldn’t expect, unfortunately, but would be nice if it was taught somewhere), then the point is not just to run something.

I mostly come to prefer composition, this approach apparently even has a wiki page. But that’s in part because I use Rust that forbids inheritance, and don’t have such bullshit (from delegation wiki page):

class A {
    void foo() {
        // "this" also known under the names "current", "me" and "self" in other languages
        this.bar();
    }

    void bar() {
        print("a.bar");
    }
}

class B {
    private delegate A a; // delegation link

    public B(A a) {
        this.a = a;
    }

    void foo() {
        a.foo(); // call foo() on the a-instance
    }

    void bar() {
        print("b.bar");
    }
}

a = new A();
b = new B(a); // establish delegation between two objects

Calling b.foo() will result in b.bar being printed, since this refers to the original receiver object, b, within the context of a. The resulting ambiguity of this is referred to as object schizophrenia

Translating the implicit this into an explicit parameter, the call (in B, with a a delegate) a.foo() translates to A.foo(b), using the type of a for method resolution, but the delegating object b for the this argument.

Why would one substitute b as this when called from b.a is beyond me, seriously.

Even if it is not their fault, what people see is that they provide bad quality service. Very low percentage ofthem will care to read details when Netflix publishes a post-mortem of an issue, assuming they even do.

I would argue that you mentioned events that were rare and much prepared (also omit failed attempts), while what is required for any resource extraction must be mass-available. On the other hand, I don’t think any space resource mining will be reasonable, as I expect it to require more resources than provide.

Hmm, that really sounds like a win-win situation 🤔

I feel like ‘a half is one-third more than a third’ is ambiguous and same as in ‘X is N% more than Y’ one may use X or Y as 100%

I’m sure that one interpretation is more common, but I don’t think that it is exclusively correct

I thought Zaktor wrote “I voted for Harris” how’s that “held back eir vote”?

I’m afraid it’s DLC only content, and requires a lot of macro-transactions

¿Por qué no los dos?

They can also use vague AI-generated ‘meme’ and ask what memes do you see. But they will need to use older and dumber models, current ones make stuff too specific.

What I mean is something like this:

Makes me wonder if that fascist regime would’ve fallen by the end of the 20^th century like the other fascist regimes in Europe
