Aside from the film grain, I'm pretty impressed that the camera seemed to survive that and that the footage from it could be extracted like nothing of this nature had ever happened to the device.

This. Comparing them to my national parties (NL), my rough estimate is that the Dems are more right wing than D66, and they're pretty much centre-right.

Come back to me when your left is on par with GL-PvdA

You may not like it, but this is what peak software engineering job security looks like.

Because you stop searching when you find the bug.

You have to not execute

lines[] = Load(file.code);

bool bug_found = false;
i=0;
while(!bug_found)
{
  bug_found = findBug(lines[i]);
  //looks like I missed a bit, lemme fix
  if(bug_found)
  {
    break;
  }
  i++;
}
bug_fix(lines[i]);
// Who'd've thought that I'd need to fix a bug in a joke about fixing bugs
// Now that's some tasty irony ^-^'

You have to run

lines[] = Load(file.code);

def bugs[];
a = 0;
for(i=0;i<lines[].length();i++)
{
  if (findBug(lines[i])
  {
    bugs[a] = lines[i];
    a++;
  }
}
for(b=0;b<=a;b++)
{
  bug_fix(lines[b]);
}

Of course there's an xkcd for everything!

Also, it appears that they created the terminal function that does that in a very compact notation, so another correct way to write down this sum is "24?" Where n? = n + (n-1)?

For one, it looks to me like the triangle numbers, which for triangle number T~n~ = (n+1) choose 2.

So for a correct nested advent calendar of 24 days, it's T~24~ = (24+1) choose 2 = 300

Depends on the final advent calendars. I've seen one where the final product is an electric screwdriver, with screw bits and all.

A decakilogram would be 10 kg though. But fuck, that's quite an unwieldy word.

This. The only "need" for the business being satisfied is that one manager's "need" to hear his own voice and to lord power over someone. And such managers are the ones whom, if I were in charge of the business, I'd make redundant in a heartbeat.

You're in a community dedicated to science memes. That is a total compliment.

Me: Is this birdcage made out of nickel?
Pet Store: Aluminum I think
Me: So there's no nickel in this cage?
Pet Store: Don't you dare!
Me: It's a nickleless cage
Pet Store: GET OUT!

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

If I click the chain icon on a comment with MMB on the website (Lemmy.world, BE: 0.18.3, accessed via Firefox), it opens to a blank tab. If I do so with LMB, it works just fine.
