I assume they live there

Maybe I just don’t eat a ton of eggs and certainly don’t think about the number of eggs used to make other foods. But that 281 eggs per person just astounds me.

Hadn’t learned about changes to proton, I use fastmail personally but have people I know who recommend proton, maybe that has changed

I am not fully degoogled by any means (it is really hard when family uses and relies on Google products), but you can always start with your own domain and a private (paid) email service (like fastmail or proton). It’s an easy step to take for yourself (but getting everyone you know to start using the new one takes time).

I have a Synology NAS I use for storage, photos, and media. It’s easy mode storage l, and comes with a lot of apps you can install to replace ones you might use from Google/apple.

I guess she is not entirely off, either. It’s called that because it is the second division of an hour.

Why would they have to go to the CS desk? the cashier can just change it right there. It happens occasionally where they scan too many items and have to void some out, it’s really not a big deal.

I understand, but the comment I replied to was implying that rent should somehow be less than mortgage plus insurance. My point is that under those circumstances, it doesn’t make sense.

I am not sure why you think it should be any way else with our current systems, though. Asking less means the home owner is effectively paying for maintenance and upkeep entirely out of pocket, and entirely net loss for them. That said, I also don’t think that means they need to price gouge and trying to make huge profits.

For similar reasons, I stopped ordering with any alterations at all. I used to customize order a little and they always messed it up. It’s pretty rare that I go at all, but I figure that way it’s the standard meal and they can just go in autopilot making it. Less disappointment when things go wrong

Use any flavor you like, there aren’t any rules

Try audiobooks. It got me out of that kid of block. Can listen during showers, commutes, doing chores. It’s great!

I feel like that requirement comes from mortgage lenders, not the government.

Honestly, looks ghastly. In the pursuit of being generic, they made something simple and straightforward into something unusable.

Any recursive algorithm can be made iterative and vise versa. It really depends on the algorithm if the function calls are a major factor in performance.

Can I ask why that is the case? I guess I hadn’t heard that it was so difficult before

The main problem with std:: expected is lack of language support. In theory, it works well as an alternative to exceptions, with nice self contained monadic statements. In practice, it is actually much worse than what the article suggests.

main issues -

1. as I said, no language level support. You eventually end up with messy code somewhere because the library code can’t simplify things enough. You end up with if checks strew about that really oaught to be a language paradigm.

2. there is not a lot of code making use of it, so at the boundaries of your code you have to make adaptations to and from std:: expected from whatever some library chose to use.

3. adapting your existing codebase is basically impossible. Perhaps if you are starting a new project you can do it, but it is different enough that all your existing code must be updated to accommodate the new paradigm and it’s just an awful experience doing the work and being in a mix of error handling.

In the US, they are quite popular.

These examples didn’t actually clear anything up for me 🙃
