Does this include sales tax? If you see a burger on the menu for $8, will it really be $8, or will it be that plus tax? I love that this is across the board, yes there will be some sticker shock once it goes into effect, but that will affect all restaurants, and consumers will adapt quickly.

You are correct that if you are on thee moon and have a cs-133 atom with you is second will take that many transitions. And if you do the same thing on Earth, a second will take the same number of transitions.

But things get weird when you are on earth and observe a cs-133 atom that is on the moon. Because you are in different reference frames, you are traveling at different speeds and are in different gravity wells time is moving at different rates. This means that a cs atom locally will transition a different number of times in a second from your point of view on Earth vs one you are observing on the moon.

And it would all be reversed if you were on the Moon observing a clock back on the Earth.

They already have to account for this with GPS satellites. They all have atomic clocks on them but they don’t run at the same speed as clocks that are on the ground. The satellites are moving at a great speed and are further from the center of the earth than us, so the software that calculates the distance from your phone to the satellite have to use Einstein’s equations to account for the change in the rate of time.

Relativity is weird.

Except the length of a second is different on the moon because of relativity. So even utc is wrong.

When I first looked at the picture I thought “that guy looks nothing like David Mitchell”, and then I saw the woman. Yup, that’s David Mitchell.

Honestly this just sounds like periodically refactoring everything to remove cruft can be a good thing. Also, it helps you understand how the existing code works if you change it and not break everything.

I believe it was invented by accident. They were sending over samples of some tea in individual silk bags and the people thought of putting the whole thing in the cup.

Very good, what you described is called an Infinitesimal, and it is a building block of Calculus.

Civ IV is still my favorite game of the series. It was peak Civilization.

What class would the U.S.S. Ball be?

But circles are hard to compare directly. A square would be much better or even a bar chart.

This is trying to be flashy and it gets in the way of the information.

I always liked to use year instead of number. That way it sorts the same and if there end up being more than 9 I don’t have to go back and rename it to 09.

Now I use Jellyfin with the auto collection plugin. It does a great job of grouping everything correctly.

Movies can be in multiple categories in this data. That is why Return of the King is the top of 2 different categories.

Spiderverse could be in action or adventure and not show up due to not being the highest rated movie.

“Yes, my name is Scooby Doo, no I don’t want your snacks”

At press time, Boebert also warned her constituents that she planned to vape the entire time.

That is an amazing ending.

There are going to be some laws hastily passed for this that is going to put impressionists out of the job. If it is Rich Little or and AI impersonating Howard Cosell, how is it any different?

The problem most of these examples and counter examples make is only showing simple code and assuming that you always want to apply the patterns of abstracting things or not.

This is the real problem. Without context of what the project is for we can only speculate on what the “best practice” is. If my problem is that I have a directory with 2000 videos in it, and I need to process all the ones with an English language track, I am going to write a one-off bash script, and not a huge C# project filled with the OO concepts.

But if the method is one of 10,000 needed in a huge project, then sticking with the coding guidelines of the whole project is more important for maintainability. A dev coming in 36 months later who is familiar with the code base would have less problems going through an abstracted setup, just because they have experience with the project and can make assumptions from that.

The code on the left is more readable. It is easy to follow and see what is happening at each step.

That being said, the code on the right is easier to maintain. If the requirement comes down the pipe that we now need to support a new pizza topping it is easy to jump to the add toppings method using the IDE instead of scanning the entire monolith procedural function. Or if we now need to add support for take-and-bake, we can just modify the small entry method.

This also assumes that we are not needing to reuse any of these methods. If you want to add toppings to a sandwich or a salad, better write another huge method like the one on the left, or add a ton of nested if/else or switch statements. If you use the style on the right you can reuse the add toppings method without worrying about if you should preheat the oven for a salad.

The author chose a very simplistic requirement for an example and it is all well and good until you let it fester in a code base for ten years, with multiple interns maintaining it and end up with a huge spaghetti code monster to deal with.

That was my thought as well. I think the picture didn’t help.

With how many b-52s that crashed, I’m glad they didn’t all have a nuclear reactor on board.

That makes sense since the Enterprise is the flagship and Voyager was a lot lower in the fleet. It would make sense that the flagship would have a lot more experienced crew.

Maybe filter by keyword. “Football”,“Baseball”,“Elon”. Would need to filter by post title, text, community name and description.
