What can you get for a penny these days?

TIL. I dislike Milky Ways, they're incomplete substandard Snickers. 3 Musketeers are even worse; nougat is the worst part of the Snickers. In a Halloween haul, I'd always rather eat a roll of Smarties or a packet of two Spree than a Milky Way or 3 Musketeers, and that's the equivalent of saying I'd rather eat a piece of chalk.

Small unlucky differences like that among players can really make or break a game experience, for sure. I got through the starting areas in Last Epoch on release very quickly, and I only experienced a few crashes that didn't prevent me from having a great time all the way to endgame. That was pure luck I think, bc when I maxxed my character out there were still a lot of players struggling with login and loading crashes, and I know some who refunded the game because they couldn't even get in.

Laying people off instead of offering to move them to the now-more-important projects has to be one of the dumbest management moves that tech companies repeatedly do. These are people already trained on all the policies and procedures and tooling and "culture" specific to your company.

It's going to be more expensive to hire and train new people when the dumdums in upper management finally figure out the mistakes they made that got them to a point where they decided they need to cut jobs and projects, and the ramp-up time before you actually start seeing progress on those priorities is going to be seriously lengthened. Of course they won't acknowledge it was their fault in the first place, and again the heads roll on the wrong end of the corporate ladder.

I'm just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they'll be bagged in a specific way?

I didn't know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I'm kind of curious to see what's more common, or if there's some other options I haven't considered?

Python is memory safe? Can't you access/address memory with C bindings?

Celebrity conspiracy theorists and pseudoscience promoters with ties to Russian state-run media outlets. In case there weren't already enough of those candidates.

It's git push origin branch and then merge after submitting a pull request from branch to main after a successful lint check, build, deployment, and testing in a non-production environment, and PR approval. What kind of wild west operation allows pushing directly to main?

It's so weird that this is the statement that makes some of his supporters question his sanity or ability to form and communicate coherent thoughts...I would say there's a trail of breadcrumbs of much more damning statements going back as far as you're willing to look, but it's more like a trail of roach-infested bakeries.

He owns a yacht. I'd be interested to hear of a single yacht owner who is a decent person. I'm not sure one exists.

Edit: Thanks for the cool examples of decent people with yachts!
