I felt seriously betrayed by that show, I'd loved it for so long. I could've probably forgiven everything but the last two minutes.
I gave up getting invested in shows after that.
Apart from the babies thing, that's still a very interesting question. I bet someone knows the answer, but I wonder if the weight of the earth increases or decreases on average. I'd have to guess it's a net increase from picking up stuff as we move through space, which probably dwarfs the mass of stuff we've sent out (especially if you don't count satellites since they're more or less still tied to earth). I don't think there's anything like natural ejections of matter from earth either.
I mean, you weren't exactly 100% wrong.
The Wizard of Oz didn't help things either.
I can figure it out.
I've always enjoyed some classic rock, when I was a kid I used to listen to the oldies station and groove to some Steppenwolf or whatever. One day I was driving to work, radio tuned to the classic rock station, and they played Pearl Jam.
Something like parsing a string that could have command codes in it of varying length. So I guess the difference is, is this a 1-, 2-, or 3-character code?
I have something like this in a barcode generator and I keep trying to find a way to make it more elegant, but I keep coming back to index and offset as the simplest and most understandable approach.
Honest question: is there a mapping function that handles the case where you need to loop through an iterable, and conditionally reference an item one or two steps ahead in the iterable?
disseminate it further.
AKA release it.
Luck is absolutely a factor.
Not quite the same thing, but my first name inspires people to quote Dr. Seuss to me. Eventually I dropped it and started using my middle name instead.
I do share a last name with a couple of celebrities, and people will ask "any relation to (celeb whose name is spelled differently)?" Depending on my mood I'll either point out the spelling or tell them he's my cousin. Or bring up the celebs whose names are spelled the same.
