It was this way with our family dog growing up, that we got when I was maybe 5 or 6. Dad finally acquiesced begrudgingly after years of my older siblings wearing him down, and we got the last of a family friend's dog's puppies. Other than a few irregular chores the rest of us had of cleaning up after her, he ended up doing all the hard work of training her and making sure she was cared for properly. He had had dogs when he was younger and I think knowing how difficult the eventual loss is, is what kept us from getting one earlier. We all loved that dog but his actions showed he did the most.
Oh wow, really steep fines, less than one year's salary of the whistleblowers they fucked over in several cases. Less than the yearly compensation of the executives who should be held criminally liable in every case. Essentially no penalty at all.
Factory patterns are horrible, because they mix config into program code, maximizing uncertainty when debugging
I've always hated factory patterns because I find them unintuitive, but I couldn't articulate why I find them that way or even organize the reasons why in my head. I just recognized them as a frequent source of annoying debug sessions. I envy your ability to concisely convey something like this.
Deprives creators of compensation in what way? It requires a copy or copies of the book to have been purchased in order to lend out. And, the creators of books see dick-all from the sale of the book. Most of the money goes to the publisher, who acts as a gatekeeper to decide which books are worth publishing and de-incentivizes the production of new works. What a dumb argument in addition to being morally reprehensible.
regex101.com has a convenient searchable cheat sheet for all the somewhat odd but powerful functions like negative lookbehind/lookahead with a brief explanation of each, a regex pattern input with checkable boxes that helps you get down single replacements vs global replacements, a large input that lets you dump text to test against the pattern, an explanation on the right of what each symbol is trying to match, and the left side lets you switch between the different flavors to see some of the variants between languages/standards. I still have a lot to learn before I'll consider it mastered, but I have enough common stuff memorized now that it works great for me!
Oddly having several variants rather than a standard despite "regular" being in the name: everyone I work with eschews regex but after finally taking the time to learn more than just the basics of it a few years ago I find it so incredibly useful almost daily.
This would be the same as saying pretty much all Palestinians are bloodthirsty monsters who support Hamas, or pretty much all Israelis are bloodthirsty monsters who support the eradication of Palestine. Do you not see that? Do you really think your statement is reasonable or considered, or are you just trolling?
I thought those were skiing or biking or local terms I just didn't know since I've never being skiing or to Whistler, haha. I read EL rather than ei like thinking it was referring to a place everyone from that area would know that started with those letters. This makes much more sense now.
