Da schaut man nicht auf den Tacho sondern wo man hin abbiegen muss.
Du hattest ohnehin vor, abzubiegen, und bist trotzdem nicht langsamer geworden? Wolltest du dann einfach irgendwann man 60km/h das Lenkrad rumreiĂen und das Beste hoffen?
For those who donât know:
Speaking at a software conference in 2009, Tony Hoare hyperbolically apologized for "inventing" the null reference:[26] [27]
I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965. At that time, I was designing the first comprehensive type system for references in an object oriented language (ALGOL W). My goal was to ensure that all use of references should be absolutely safe, with checking performed automatically by the compiler. But I couldn't resist the temptation to put in a null reference, simply because it was so easy to implement. This has led to innumerable errors, vulnerabilities, and system crashes, which have probably caused a billion dollars of pain and damage in the last forty years.
Sounds like any action move protagonist.
Hey, IT, I imported this data set twice, and now there are a lot of duplicates. Is there something wrong with the tool?
â Yes, that happened.
To be fair, just because obj.foo
is undefined, that doesnât mean the key is missing. It could also be assigned the value undefined. const obj = { foo: undefined }
vs const obj = {}
If an attribute is null, I would prefer to simply not serialize it.
Thatâs interesting. Iâm on the opposite team. If a customer model defines an optional birthday, for instance, Iâd rather have it serialized as a null value if itâs not available for a specific customer.
Indeed, and that turns out to be a problem if the JavaScript expects the key not to be there, but instead it is there. And then you try to tell the backend dev that the key shouldnât be there, but heâll try to convince you that itâs the same whether the key is not there or whether itâs assigned null
and then you wonder if heâs messing with you, but actually he isnât and then the only thing keeping you sane is bitching about it in meme form on lemmy.
Sure, Java can tell the difference. But that doesnât mean that the guy writing the API cares whether or not he adds a key to the dictionary before yeeting it to the client.
In my experience itâs the other way around.

maps to the value null

Speaking of rate limits: Github recently blocked me because I went over a âsecondary rate limitâ by visiting the site for the first time in a month. Has anybody experienced this?

â How rap sounds to non-English speakers
most music I canât understand what someone singing
Just like the rest of us, tbh.
To anyone thinking, âWe surived one term of Trump. How bad can another one be?â
Very bad, as John Oliver points out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYwqpx6lp_s
On average, we respond solely to voice pitch, tonality, body language and facial expressions, like a still developing toddlerâŠ
You wouldnât believe how close you are.
[âŠResearches] recruited 684 Swiss students and asked them to rate pairs of politicians who had run against each other in the 2002 French parliamentary elections. Based solely on black-and-white photos of the candidates, they had to say who was more competent and by what degree. There were 57 pairs in all, and each volunteer rated just one.
They found that the studentsâ competence judgments predicted the actual winners of the run-offs with a 72% accuracy.
[A] group of children would be able to predict the outcome of elections in another country, based only on photos of the candidates [âŠ] is exactly what a recent study in the journal Science has found.
Swiss children as young as five years can predict which candidates are more likely to win French parliamentary elections.

The children were just as good at predicting election results as the grown-ups were;
(first article again)
Then hope they filled it quick enough and there werenât any Sundays or holidays to mess with it.
I used to think stores didnât care about Sundays in the US and were always open.
Are you saying the individually dispensed medications are all sent to the pharmacy pre-filled?
This is what a box of Paracetamol (a pain killer and anti-inflammatory drug) looks like when you buy it at the pharmacy (this particular image seems to be from a different country, but they look similar).
That sounds wildly inefficient and inflexible in terms of transport/logistics/packaging tbh.
Well, yes. I get that point. It would save some deliveries to store 5kg of the drug at the pharmacy and have the containers separate. There are instances when they tell you they only have the 100-dose package on hand and need to have the 25-dose package delivered. That usually happens when you first start a long-time medication. The pharmacy will then deliver the medication to you for free (at least ours, I donât know if thatâs usual).
repercussions to filling a prescription wrong, especially if someone is injured
The trouble is, repercussions donât help any injured person. And they require you to notice that youâve taken the wrong medication. If you simply donât feel better, your first instinct might not be âthe drugs are wrongâ.
Thereâs also usually a description on the printed label of what the pill should look like
We have that, to, but with a gut estimate of around 10,000 different drugs in circulation, that doesnât really help with distinguishing them safely.
Itâs obvious from this exchange:
WHICH PAUL U FUCK
Momâs brother?????
Or Jeanieâs husband?????
Yes
The sister (grey) was clearly responding to âMomâs brother?????â, but just as she hit âsendâ, teal asked âOr Jeanieâs husband?????â.
People who give both options in an obvious one-or-the-other question deserve to receive âYesâ as a response.
Also, what is âJsukâ?
Iâm not really sure what suggested to you that they didnât tbh.
This is an excerpt from the comment I replied to:
I donât understand how it can possibly take 2 hours to count a couple dozen pills, throw them in an orange tube, and slap a label on it
