I haven’t read the study, but most of these would need a placebo group, so divide the herd into thirds, one with no paint, one with stripes, and one fully painted white to get a baseline for each group. Also would be good to randomize which group each cow goes in each day so to rule out one cow who is especially tasty to flies.

The first thing we need to do to fix healthcare in this country is to decouple health insurance from our jobs. If you lose your job you should not lose your health benefits. And no, cobra is not a substitute.

These are part of their own family of invertebrates.

Insects are a specific family that have 6 legs. So a bee or an ant are insects but a spider or a rolls polly is not.

It says “Simon’s desk” which is the name of the guy making the post, which to me says he was testing the software from his desk.

When it is deployed, it would say “vaping detected in north stairwell” or whatever. They are not installing sensors on every desk.

Except the length of a second is different on the moon because of relativity. So even utc is wrong.

There has been several conservative memes about golf courses going away or liberals taking them away. Did I miss some news about that?

I still have my WRT54G around somewhere. Loved that thing. What I found interesting was that when the firmware went open demand for that model went through the roof. Wish more companies would realize that there is a demand for that market.

Or buy it on physical media. More and more studios are pulling their disks and it is getting harder to find. If you have a disk, it can never be recalled.

At press time, Boebert also warned her constituents that she planned to vape the entire time.

That is an amazing ending.

The code on the left is more readable. It is easy to follow and see what is happening at each step.

That being said, the code on the right is easier to maintain. If the requirement comes down the pipe that we now need to support a new pizza topping it is easy to jump to the add toppings method using the IDE instead of scanning the entire monolith procedural function. Or if we now need to add support for take-and-bake, we can just modify the small entry method.

This also assumes that we are not needing to reuse any of these methods. If you want to add toppings to a sandwich or a salad, better write another huge method like the one on the left, or add a ton of nested if/else or switch statements. If you use the style on the right you can reuse the add toppings method without worrying about if you should preheat the oven for a salad.

The author chose a very simplistic requirement for an example and it is all well and good until you let it fester in a code base for ten years, with multiple interns maintaining it and end up with a huge spaghetti code monster to deal with.

GPT is a tool that the students will have access to their entire professional lives. It should be treated as such and worked into the curriculum.

Forbidding it would be like saying you can’t use Photoshop in a photography class.

I see they set the camera for 6 foot 2 and didn’t bother to readjust it.
