@AmazonHelp Yes-- Issued a refund and can skip sending hair ties back. You have a glitch OR some seller is scamming or something, I don't know. Customer service didn't seem to mind that aspect. I've noticed a trend toward issues with my orders this last year, so I think I'm done with Prime.

If you go to @amazon and order this guitar pedal, https://t.co/xVHg5YqPY7, you'll get a single black hair tie, and don't bother requesting a replacement because it will be a hair tie too.

Made my first pecan pie this year. Didn't realize you mix it all together and the nuts float on top. That's pretty clever.

Voices by Vangelis is the album to listen to this time of year

@Voultar What if they do something like a new console that the Switch docks to? The OG switch games could get an eGPU type of boost when docked. The new console + Switch could be like the Wii U dual screen concept. N could port some DS games. You could just use the new on it's own.

Branch free linked list optimization is one of my favorites. The head node points to itself, then insert and remove need not check for null. You do have to check for end or beginning as other than null however.

Seeing Musk pick fights publicly with Twitter engineers and all the characters that pile on to that conversation exemplifies one of the few downsides of being a software engineer. Let's just say-- it usually isn't the work itself that sucks.

@pettipoole The correct maneuver is to fake a connection drop off, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect. Someone else will have taken over.

@GameSack The only weird thing is that the top half of Darth Maul survived. Why not the bottom half?!

I'm as hatted as a madman!

@AdventurersCap Same! It came with our first household computer as a pack-in game. Instantly hooked.

Weird times, man.

At my son's daycare, there is a fenced in playground. There's always a little boy dancing by the fence looking toward the parking lot while other kids play. This kid just wants to be in showbiz 😂. Go on little buddy!

What's with everybody shunning the time-honored tradition of cracking a few mixed nuts around the holidays?

None of this is unexpected, since we know C is a statically typed language with very minimal implicit conversions (int promotion, int->float, etc.). Understanding C types (which is pretty 101), would give you the intuition to never write code like this.

Everyone says JS is weird with strings and numbers. Meanwhile, C: https://t.co/LOfcxizSN3

With our kid in daycare, my wife and I have had just about all the viruses (except RSV) and have been straight sick since April. I can't imagine what it must be like to work directly in childcare. I'm just waiting for that 1.5 year mark when people say it gets better.

Every time I try to learn more about the programming language Rust I feel like I'm entering a cult. Nothing against Rust, it look really interesting but I'm get these “One of us, one of Us” vibes.
