It’s a list with a tuple, with a list with an empty dictionary. I’m not sure the innermost parenthesis is legal there.

Edit: Well, I tested it. It’s legal. {()} is just a set with an empty tuple instead of a dictionary.

Well, most cages are made of steel instead, and thus nickfull ones.

Yeah, coming from Portuguese, I know by hearth all of the refined vocabulary to be found in English.

But the mundane is a whole other world.

That’s a very good point.

It applies to more things than software projects. Like new companies keep innovating until they succeed. Political organizations keep pressing for change until they get some small gain. People are eager to throw themselves at work until they get something they care about…

Hum… That implies that at least 30% of some subclass of projects are successful.

Oh, they absolutely should. A “Jarvis” would be great.

But that thing they are pushing has absolutely no relation to a “Jarvis”.

Those first two are incredibly fit for some niche that is so small that nobody even remembers it exists.

The last one is still more practical than hot air balloons.

The people that come up with country names do like a light trolling.

“People complain about C’s security issues because it’s too easy to learn” was absolutely not on my bingo card either.

The same for “Javascript frameworks exclude the less experienced”.

He knows.

No, we didn’t. It wasn’t remotely close.

AFAIK, every single idea from string theory that could be tested was rejected. And the theory was made more complex, less predictive so that it could still work without the testable idea.

I started with some articles on string theory

Yeah, that’s a mistake.

Unless you understand the working theories out there, you gain nothing by going deep into speculative ideas.

That second picture of yours is just a normal roundabout. Try making one of the roads pass directly through it. And don’t change the signaling.

I’ve noticed that the tram line cuts the traffic in 3 points. What is the speed of that street? Anyway, the tram line is clearly signed in a way that can be noticed on the photo. And every car there is making a weird curve, nobody is speeding anyway.

I was not joking when I said a lot of transit engineers believe on it.

That one is one of the least bad I’ve seen. Try imagine it on the cross of two roads (actual high-speed roads, country-side). I’ve seen many of those.

Imagine a roundabout where most of the traffic flows straight on only one of the streets. Things would improve a lot of you gave that street the right of way and cut a shortcut on the middle of the roundabout, wouldn’t them?

(/s by the way, but a lot of transit engineers to really believe in this. Unironically.)

It doesn’t work when nobody lives around either.

The only way this can work is if both all cars are from the 30s, only able to move at 50 km/h, and nobody lives around.

Yes. The future serial killer is clearly the person that designed this shit. The one waving is just a useful idiot.

The court is useless, and it’s by design.

Yeah, people repeating it for the world to hear is good, not bad. But a useful version of that court isn’t something viable.

Joins and tables are abstract concepts, they don’t dictate how you store data on memory or disk or how you read it.

If you want a specialized data storage, go with whatever format is easier for you to use. But also, the format that is easier to store is not necessarily the easiest one to work on memory.
