Some guy on the street asked me if I knew where the nearby salad restaurant was. There was only 2 ways this could go. Either he wanted a salad for lunch. Or, as you suggest, he was testing me. Was I apart of this fabled salad group or one of the forsaken "others"? The pressure was on to say the least. I don't normally believe in a higher power, but I said a quick prayer for help to get me through this challenge. I gathered all my strength and told him "just a block that way" as I pointed down the street. Now, I could only wait for what felt like a millenia. Finally, he let slip the words "cool. Thanks" as he headed in that direction. I think i passed his nefarious test. But the only thing I'm sure of is that I barely made it out of there in one piece.

Edit: originally, the comment I replied to said that no question was innocent

I am willing to give up time out of my life (which is not renewable) for money from a company (which is renewable) and I am treated with contempt at job interviews like they are doing me a favor and treated as if I am trying to scam them. Why is society like this?

Interviews work both ways. You are interviewing them just like they are interviewing you. They are doing you a huge favor in acting this way. Now you know you don't want to work for them. This is much better than them pretending to be nice and you finding out later that it's miserable.

You make the best combination of your hole cards and the community cards. So if you have Ah Ad in your hole cards and the community cards are 10h 6d Ac Ks 2s, you're hand is Ah Ad Ac Ks 10h.

An important note is that you do not have to use any of your hole cards. If the community cards are A K Q J 10 of Spades, then your hand is the same the community cards (along with everyone else). In this case you do not use your hole cards at all to make your hand.

This situation sounds like what restraining orders are designed to help with. IANAL, but restraining orders generally cover all types of communication, including social media. Showing that he has continued to harass you even after blocking him is good reason.

"You should stop posting these online, it's really embarrassing because your [tool name] is such a failure. I should redesign all of it for you because I'm actually an engineer at [company name] and have a lot more experience. I could actually do it right, unlike you. I just might help you if you ask me nicely."

Out if curiosity, have you ever tried calling his bluff? Reply with how would he improve it by saying any constructive criticism is appreciated. Something like

Do you have any recommendations on how to improve it. Looking to make as good as I can.

Depending on how you're feeling, you could incorporate tagging their company. Use the same language they used. Something like

I'd love any constructive criticism from an actual engineer from @company

That said, it seems like the time to reply like that has past and it's best to ignore/block him at this point.

I'm not a cmd prompt expert, but does

ren *.(current extension name) *

work?

To test it, make a new directory and create 2 files there with the same extension. Then, run that code in that directory and check the result.

Worth remembering that python uses the concepts of truthy and falsey. Empty string ("") is falsey. Any other string ("true", "false", "0", etc.) Is truthy. All bool(str) does is evaluate whether str is truthy or falsey. It does not evaluate what str actually is.

So bool(input("Input True or False ") will return False is the user input is empty and True otherwise.

Thanks! Confirmed it is working!

 

The post swipe controls have hiding the post as an option. Giving the comments the same options would allow for a consistent user experience.

Sounds good! Appreciate the fast turn around!

It never starts working on my phone. I tried it in card view just to make sure (I usually use reverse list), but am getting the same results I was getting before.

The weirdest part about this is that it works correctly, without any delay, when viewing a specific community.

Edit: I am on version 1.0.123

 

The swipe controls seem to be gone or are not being registered, but only when viewing the Frontpage, Local, or All. The swipe controls work correctly when viewing a specific community.

I tried going through the settings and disabling other swipe controls, but the behavior remained constant.

Edit: version 1.0.123

I don't know but it would be helpful if you included a link to the clip you're talking about.

After a quick test, it looks like viewing an image marks the post as read, but the post doesn't visually update until you refresh. It would be nice if the post got visually updated without having to do a full refresh.

Someone should popularize this theory. Like what if our world was just a simulated world like in the matrix.
