Could maybe have a bit of fun randomising those strings.

But 95% of people that call support don't know that stuff. And those things solve 95% of the problems that users have. And support staff have been told to go through the script or get fired. So just be nice to them, get to the end of Level1's script AQAP then you'll get someone that's allowed to use their noggin, considerably more quickly than if you piss around.

Well I for one would be delighted to cross 35 years of software engineering with a maths hobby but I can hardly find anything.

The only place I did find declared that I didn't have enough maths without even seeing me or saying what kind of maths I would need for the role. From the JD it didn't sound too tricky: pathfinding for construction robots.

What's the largest program, in line count (wc -l will be close enough, or open the file in Notepad++ and scroll to the end), that you've created this way?

Don't know about the printer but that pile of paper next to it is covered with creepy crawlies.

Great and all, but until it can play full screen video on my Pi5 I'm going to keep using Brave.

But wasn't that true before Collective Shite decided to piss on everyone else's day?

At least it didn't start with "Nobody:" I think we're heading in the right direction.

Yeah but a mushroom's such a fungi to be with.

To be fair though if someone can't count up to four then financial literacy probably isn't in their future.

Would an AI have made this on its own though, or might someone have typed "Lego set My first colonoscopy [etc]" into an image generator? If the latter you can still laugh with the person that had the original idea even if they didn't draw it themselves.

Edit: hey, how did it get autocensored?

Oof, I thought it was only constipated mathematicians that had to work it out with a pencil.

Sie lecken, wenn die Vorderseite abfällt.

This works for both positive and negative numbers:

    
private static bool isEven(int number)
{
    bool result = true;

    while (number < 0)
    {
        number = number - 1;
        if (result == true)
            result = false;
        else
            result = true;
    }
    while (number > 0)
    {
        number = number - 1;
        if (result == true)
            result = false;
        else
            result = true;
    }
    return result;
}

  

Output:

    
isEven(4) = True
isEven(5) = False
isEven(-4) = True
isEven(-5) = False


  

They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain "saw" the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I've done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.

The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn't really there. We're used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it's 3D.

Not true; here is an active group legally protesting the war in Palestine: https://palestinecampaign.org/

Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?

He'd just grab it by the cloaca.
