The joke is that, regardless of how the type is declared in json, you are parsing a string. (your json blob is just a series of characters, not raw binary data)

Your order(s) don’t necessarily ship all of the items from the same warehouse.

The reply would have been return x % 2 == 0, or if you wanted it to be less readable return !(x&1).

But if you were going for a way that is subtly awful or expensive, just do a regex match on “[02468]$”. You don’t get a stack overflow with larger numbers but I struggle to think of a plausible bit of code that consumes more unnnecessary cycles than that…

Is this meant to be a joke or is it intended to be a serious solution?

Asking for someone who lacks a sense of humor.

Ok, fine, I’m asking for me. That person is me.

Agree no difference as an ingredient in some baked dish.

But if you are eating the egg by itself or as the primary item, there is definitely a difference in taste. Not a revolutionary change your life difference, but still a difference.

In my experience the difference is pretty small amongst the options in the grocery store, but fairly noticable for eggs I get from the farmers market.

Saw one the other day with Jennifer Anniston. Good enough that it took a second to realize it was deep fake audio and video.

The article “conveniently” omits the names of pilot states and the eligibility criteria, so I dug them up:

The Direct File pilot is available to eligible taxpayers residing in Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

You may be eligible to join the pilot if you live in a pilot state and report these items on your 2023 federal tax return:

Income

• W-2 wage income
• SSA-1099 Social Security and RRB -1099 railroad retirement income
• 1099-G Unemployment compensation
• 1099- INT Interest income of $1,500 or less

Credits

• Earned Income Tax Credit
• Child Tax Credit
• Credit for Other Dependents

Deductions

• Standard deduction
• Student loan interest
• Educator expenses

The pilot is not an option for if you:

• Have other types of income, such as gig economy or business income
• Itemize deductions
• Claim other credits like the Child and Dependent Care Credit, Saver’s Credit or the Premium Tax Credit

For first names we separately compiled lists of names that we liked from whatever sources we could find (Internet lists, books, media l names used in media, etc). We went through each other’s lists and vetoed names that were a hard no. Then we wrote the names out on a sheet of paper in random order in a playoff bracket style arrangement. Each pair had a winner until there was only one.

For middle names, it had to be something that flowed well with the first name. It also had to be able to convey that special sense of “you done fucked up” and disappointment when said with the first name (while emphasizing the second), like “John PAUL”. Finally, candidates were from (mostly deceased) family members.

Names and initials were checked to minimize bullying potential; if we could think of a way to abuse it the name or combination was rejected. For example, Karen would be a no due to current slang usage. Or if the initials would spell ASS.

Omg, I have SOOoo many questions about what is going on in this picture.

My guy wanted to use drones to cut hedges.

I’d be perfect departure time man. Able to determine exactly when to leave in order to arrive at your destination on time, regardless of traffic, weather, or other conditions encountered along the way.

Ubisoft will own the streaming rights, worldwide. They will license those rights to other game streaming services (including back to Microsoft).

Lol, as if pension funds never go insolvent and companies never played games reducing benefits (or other shenanigans so they don’t have to pay out).

At least with a 401k they can’t take the money back once it is deposited.

It they had just kept their mouths shut and taken their lumps, it would have blown over by now.

But the ego on Spez is apparently incapable of tolerating the fact that someone on the internet might disagree with him, so he keeps doubling down and making everything exponentially worse. To the point where people like me, who couldn’t give two bits about 3rd party Reddit apps or API or pricing, are so disgusted by their behavior that they look for alternatives.

If it was only a matter of optimization we would all still be playing games on the original NES.

They made no money from this.

This surrounds data retained from abandoned account creations. The other issue is that they didn’t involve parents soon enough in the signup process. So if a parent objected the account creation would have been abandoned sooner (but still abandoned).

Microsoft doesn’t make money unless you can actually sign in.
