They are, unfortunately, basically required in countries with high inflation where prices change so often that printed menus become unmanageable.

If by “literally anyone” you mean any catholic man, then sure.

Strictly enforced, actually.

Afaik lidar doesn’t work very well for detecting highly reflective or highly transparent objects. It’s possible, but not very straight forward and depends on what else is sorta “in frame”. I’m not sure how well lidar would fare when pointed at a large mirror that takes up a rather large portion of its fov.

Radar wouldn’t be bothered though.

It wasn’t based on the book at all. The book itself is a compilation of short stories, but the movie’s script wasn’t based on any of those. It was originally written as an original action script that had nothing to do with anything Asimov. The studio that agreed to produce it made the writers rename it to “I, Robot” and insert a bunch of Asimov sounding shit in there, like the 3 laws and some character names.

Is that the guy who was stabbed in the anus by a toilet child climbing up the poop chute?

Don’t count on it. On really hot days the interior of a car sitting under the sun can reach petg’s glass transition temp. I’ve had petg prints, also attached to the visor as it happens, soften up and deform in my car.

Past experiences

So that the toddler can enter the workforce and start pulling itself up by the bootstraps as soon as possible. The lithium mines need more bodies.

Grind it down to a fine powder and snort it through a rolled 500 euro bill.

I once worked on a project where the main function would run the entire code in a try-catch block. The catch block did nothing. Just returned 200 OK. Didn’t even log the error anywhere. Never seen anything so incredibly frustrating to work on.

Mostly the latter. We don’t do any optimizations on our product whatsoever. Most important thing is to say yes to all the customers and add every single feature they want. Every sprint is spent adding and adding and adding to the code as much as we can and as quickly as we can. Not a single second is allotted to any discussion about performance or efficiency. Maybe when something breaks, but otherwise we keep piling on more crap at full speed non-stop. I have repeatedly been told “the fast way is the right way” followed by laughter. I was told to “merge this now” on multiple occasions even when I knew that the code was shit, and told the team as much. I am expected to write code now and think about it later.

As you can expect, the codebase is a bloated nightmare. Slow as shit, bugs galore, ugly inconsistent UI, ENORMOUS memory use, waaaaaay too frequent DB access with a shit ton of duplicate requests that are each rather inefficient themselves. It is a rather complex piece of lab management software, but not so complex that it should be struggling to run on dedicated servers with 8 gigs of RAM. Yet it does.

It’s a tie between that scene and Kevin Spacey eating a banana in K-Pax. That’s a deeply disturbing scene and not because Spacey is a perv.

JFC this thread is bizarre. Just look this shit up, it’s not that hard. In fact here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=less+vs+fewer&t=ffab&ia=web

You will see that all of those results will agree that less is almost always correct when talking about time, despite the unit. And the very rare cases where fewer is correct do not cover OP’s title.

You will also see that less is practically always correct for money. It is the single most notable exception to the countable vs uncountable rule that is mentioned very often.

edit: I’m also gonna preempt any possible “it’s not incorrect it’s just unusual” response. “Just unusual” or “just awkward” is very often as close to incorrect as certain things get in a language.

The why is easy. As others said, the vast majority of error messages are entirely useless for you, the user, because there’s not a single thing you can possibly do to address it. What are you gonna do about a database connection issue, or bad cache, or broken Javascript? Nothing. So don’t worry about it. Besides people are less panicky when they see an oops rather than a stack trace or a cryptic error message.

And don’t worry, people who know how to write up useful support tickets and bug reports know how to do it even when all they can see is an “oops”. Builtin browser dev tools will have information they can use to help the devs.

It’s not. You can count years, but years are a unit of time and you can’t count time. Same thing with kilos or meters or liters or a bunch of other things.

It’s not a super strict rule that you can apply blindly anyway. Money is very much countable but it’s “less”.

Wow. It’s rare to see someone incorrectly use fewer instead of less.

There are esp32 variants that can do ZigBee. It’s very surprising to me that there’s no esphome for those. I’d think that the community would be all over that, but all I have found so far are abandoned GitHub repos. Maybe there’s something I don’t know about the chip or the protocol that makes it difficult?

Could be fun.

Long ago, the 118 nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Ytterbium Nation attacked.
