Or he is a squirrel

Well, she certainly planned this. Snowmobile to location. Big winter boots in the hole with her. Insulated liner to lie down on. Hole deep enough to hide from the wing. Probably just outside the frame is a snowmobile, shovel, and her snowsuit.

Source: lived in the arctic for almost a decade. This doesn’t seem that foolish in May when the sun is nice and warm but the snow is still out.

Here. In Canada this was aired on TV to encourage kids to question commercials: https://youtu.be/cvPwJQXzHm0

This is very cool – without the evil scientist element :)

Haha, yes. Chicken nobblies

So. If I’m every in a position where I can be an unethically constrained mad scientist type who really wants to make a difference…

I would engineer a virus, maybe delivered by mosquitoes, that inserts the ability to produce the enzyme cellulase into the human gut. This would allow us to eat grass in a pinch, likely solving world hunger. Of course, it would suck to eat grass, so most people wouldn’t – just like most avoid eating dandelions today. But it would be a cool fallback position in a global crisis.

I just want to get level

In Canada, it might work. There was a court case where an airline had to honour its chatbot.

Somehow they included Great Salt Lake. It is a “great” “lake” ;)

But they left out Great Slave Lake, and Great Bear Lake because they don’t know Canadian geography. ;)

Excellent work folks. Bug fixing is not sexy (even more so in open source projects), but greatly appreciated 👍

I’m a beta. Much closer to the final product

A succulent chinese meal?

Oh excellent 👌

Me, mumbling to my laptop: “Anbennar, you’re going to have to be okay with an open relationship.”

I’d play that mod in EU4 ;)

Is the river frozen? ;)

That’s not to say that python coding habits are the best either – certainly they’re terrible when translating outside of python (most of the time). And even within python, someone who is used to with only the base modules will write it differently than writing PyQt and still completely different than someone doing numpy code… because the styles of coding of the underlying system change your coding mode. Like, my variables are all CamelCase when doing user interfaces with Qt because it makes sense there, stylistically.

Maybe they want to avoid java coding patterns. FactoryFactoryGenerator kind of stuff. Maybe they want to teach their own java coding patterns and want someone coming in with a blank slate so they don’t have to unlearn habits. Maybe they’re tired of diploma mill programmers applying and are using this as a resume filter tripwire.
