Now explain PartialEq, and why it’s mandatory.

Lead-based solder is preferred for high-reliability electronics (space, nuclear, military, etc.) because it’s easier to rework, easier to verify by visual inspection, and it’s not vulnerable to tin whiskers.

Here’s the relevant safety guides from Stanford and MIT.

In short, if you do a lot of soldering, there are long-term occupational hazards from both lead oxides and rosin. Both guides agree that the main hazards are the fumes (workstation should have a fume extractor or suitable filter) and residue on your hands (wash hands with soap and water before eating).

I couldn’t find any numbers on how much material is removed by washing, but every reference emphasized that soap and water are vitally important.

UTC is better than most, but leap seconds are still awful. Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.

CBOR for life, down with JSON.

US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.

This isn’t funny, this is just the sad state of software these days.

Don’t worry, this just means your job is safe from being replaced by AI. No search results means no training data.

STOP! You have violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.

Hands prisoner a fake phone “He’s got a gun!”

My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.

If it’s really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it’s perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.

In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

“Of course I know where the body is. He’s me!”

This post is horrifying, not funny.

Look, we all know it was a Bane-style midair abduction.

“Stop! You have violated the law! Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.”

That’s literally just a torpedo.

Plane falls out of sky, find DNA, assume person is dead? You just got fooled by the oldest trick in the book. i.e., The reason Bane does a quick blood transfusion at the start of Dark Knight Rises.
