Likely, JFK and other, more recent contested narratives will follow the same mortal algorithm.

His work on a film I return to in melancholy, “Tony Takitani,” is note-perfect, the soundtrack of sighs.

The…base…must…grow…

I third this.

I've tried everything from Notepad++ (and plugins), Sublime (and plugins), MacVim (and plugins), Atom, VS Code, to other heavyweight IDEs...

I'm not a lucky person, avoid games of luck, but consider one of my few lucky moments being grandfathered into Jetbrains's sub model at a steep discount.

Absolutely.

The 2x2 is the Gold Standard of Pain: ubiquitous, plentiful, and no matter where it connects, it's knee-buckling (vs. say the 2x3s, which I find can be tolerable if it runs lengthwise along the outside lane of your foot.. you can kinda roll with it).

The 2x2 is the bedbug of toys: perfectly engineered for torment.

Without tremendously disagreeing with your admittedly exaggerated point, but to add flavor:

The learning of a skill or trade -- your skip to the exercises bit -- yes, teach a man to fish, etc. But to stare at, e.g., a polynomial for the first time ever in the exercises and be asked to "factor" it ... well, maybe your Gauss, but for others, it means going back in the chapter to read the axioms, lemma, the laws, examples -- that knowledge you apply to your own understanding, allowing you to learn.

Most people didn't fly to Juneau, on a strong hunch, buy a spray paint can, graffiti a local bridge with "This is the capital of Alaska" just so they confirmed or finally learned, by being arrested for vandalism that, in fact, Juneau is the capital of Alaska. We learn this fact from, e.g., reading about it.

Not all knowledge was derived through some form of the Scientific Method. To equally play provocative, I will posit, with no linked papers, most of what we know, to a person, is not from doing, but from some form of passive communication.

This post is at odds with the spirit of HN. Please consider another collegial, charitable mindset.

If the reader here can find it, Linklater's SubUrbia captures this sentiment on film.

Hear that? Learn from breaking crypto ... just not your own.

On a related note, Beldin here just contributed a new entry into cryptopals: the Gatekeeper hash, but only certain people can see the link.

I don't get the comparison. This effort (by others' comments: a rearranging and editing of existing materials, with new illustrations?) with LOTR (a wholly original, although related, trilogy) gives me false from the areEqual() call.

There's a market. Fans will buy. Money is good. Some would say the repackaging is worth it. From an originality-perspective, others wouldn't -- still, more, considering its "timely" release.

If you are in that second camp, this is the very definition of a cash-grab.

There's a $1000 in there... or maybe there isn't. Know what I mean?

I like the part where I move my char over to another person's char so they can hear me.

Slick answer.

You're not alone. Denis has a great technical eye but Sicario so far is his closest to a great film.

Speaking of technical merits slipping a Mickey to a parched audience, see: The Mandalorian.

Agreed. HN should be one of those few online vestiges that is above this kind of anti-intellectual, often disingenuous, tactic.

That's a great theological question. Are all souls equal? Many religions say, " Yes," although something tells me if your seller-classmate was me, and you rejected other classmate's -- Aretha Franklin's -- offer, you are definitely in the red.

Then I suppose we're lucky the entirety of secular history and also the natural world -- godless as it is -- has not played this Two Shell Monte.

A pedestrian could easily be the cause of a traffic accident for the reasons OP mentioned. They could cause an accident by jaywalking, not obeying pedestrian signals, etc., whereby a driver avoids hitting them and swerves into another vehicle(s).

Who's "the victim" here that should not be blamed?

Or, negligence from the driver, as the OP mentioned.

Or, both.

This comparison does not seem tenable.

That's the one. Thank you so much.
