About 4 hours

Nope!

Some explanation though, Canada adopted the metric system and converted to metric in the 70’s-80’s. I remember seeing street signs in imperial and signs advertising the conversion (“50mph is 80kph” and stuff), so a large portion of our population spent a good chunk of their lives on imperial, or grew up with those people as parents. So, what happened is, the signs changed, and our speedometers changed, but people’s brains still went “this is miles per hour”, and well, it kinda stuck.

Now ask me how far it is from Toronto to Ottawa…

Mixing metric and imperial is base-tier Canadian.

Sure, we will measure our height in feet/inches, except on our driver’s license, and weight in lbs, except at the doctors office. We’ll measure our car’s speed in km/h numerically, but if you hear a Canadian say “miles per hour”, it also means km/h, unless we’re talking about driving in the US, then it is actually mph…maybe.

Now, ask a Canadian how far away something is.

A few years ago

That was 13.5 years ago.

That example can be traced back almost directly to IBM selling the Thinkpad brand to Lenovo.

They don’t stop shit from happening

yes and no… Will a camera physically prevent someone from breaking into your house? no. However, having a camera conspicuously installed does act as a deterrent.

One very useful function that doorbell cameras have specifically, is that I can talk to the person at the door remotely. I’ve had a couple occasions where I was unable to get to the door at the moment a delivery person showed up, so I was able to use that feature to tell them to leave the package and I’d be out momentarily to get it.

It’s also useful to get a notification when my kids get home from school and I’m in the office.

That being said, you are correct in that people should not be buying these cloud-only devices, especially when there are plenty of self-hosted options that have become quite affordable lately.

What you’re describing is type hints, it’s syntactic sugar and not used at all by the interpreter.

For example, this is a “legal” statement:

foo: int = "bar"

Your IDE and linter will complain, but the interpreter just chops the hints off when compiling, and it’s left with foo = "bar"

IMO every rich family are equally ghoulish, this one just lets those traits be on full display.

Socks suckrock

FTFY

and the one that keeps getting slept on for some reason, watch breakpoints - stop when foo is changed. Great for figuring out what is screwing with your data when foo mysteriously changes

Bad analogy.

This would be more like the property management having a record of what apartments are rented, and having a second list of who is renting apartments (but not which one), and the landlord wanting to know who is renting apartment 420 so they can draw up eviction papers.

For Marvel: Dick-Man

Deadpool Dicks Wolverine (Ryan Reynolds would be all for this one :p)

It’s A Wonderful Dick

And the remake in 2025: It’s a Dick Life

And the porn remake: Dick’s a Wonderful Life

Where in Canada? That sounds like a 'berta thing lol. I can go to just about any random restaurant here and if they serve fries, chances are they have some sort of poutine option

I see that lots in Canada as well, but often the 6-pack is way cheaper per unit, to the point where sometimes a 6-pack is the same price as a single.

I’m sure Canada could find a use for a few more provinces…

yeah, it’s the copilot plugin for intellij, basically right click and choose generate tests, it’ll read the file and … well…

Downside to that approach is that it doesn’t know what some function calls do if they’re not part of that file, so it tends to miss places that need to be mocked out.

Occasionally it writes a test that’s “wrong”, and I have to fix the test… very rarely, the “wrong” test is actually “right” based on say a method signature or decision tree, and the method itself needs changing.

One thing it’s good for is that if you have the screw/nut on the bed with the part, you can scale both equally and the screw/nut will work with the part still, even if the threading is no longer a standard pitch/size. For a one-off or prototype that’s fine, but if you’re going to mass produce, it’s better to fix it in CAD to a standard size and use manufactured fasteners.

There are a lot of things that FDM printing will likely never be better than say injection moulding, and the main thing is speed, as in quantity over time. A single 3d printer might be able to make a plate full of maybe a dozen widgets in a few hours, and in that time, the injection moulding machine will have tens of thousands produced at a higher quality.

On top, 3d printing would require more staff to troubleshoot, clean, re-start prints, remove scaffolding from finished items, sand/polish to remove the layer lines, etc.

What it’s great for in an industrial setting, is prototyping. For example, a case for something can be printed, and the plate can be filled with several variants. If a flaw is found or changes needed, then a new batch can get whipped up on the same printer. Once a design is found that is acceptable, the CAD drawings get sent to have moulds created.

I use it to generate unit tests, it’ll get the bulk of the code writing done and does a pretty good job at coverage, usually hitting 100%. All I have to do for the most part is review the tests to make sure they’re doing the right thing, and mock out some stuff that it missed.
