Same as every protest. People peacefully organize in a park or something. Police get all weak in the knees and put on riot gear and bring out tanks, and start pushing people around. Finally a single protester throws a rock back and the media swarms in calling it a "warzone". Closeups of the rock, slowmo of it going overhead, interviews with sergeants. Policeman crying. Every. Damn. Time.
Just last year I was laid off while my job was shipped overseas. But hey, my CSuite got richer, so congrats to them.
It was night and day what they showed on the news vs social media. Conservative news might as well had shown half of LA on fire with mothers clutching their babies because of scary rioters. Liberal news showed nothing. Social Media showed a lot of very angry citizens peacefully protesting in LA who wanted their families and friends returned from being disappeared.
I'll start with the obvious one, I live in a very urban area. Our crimerate is probably higher than average, but not obscene by any means. The most I've had to do is make sure my wallet is put away when walking around - but mostly it's standard "city mode". Don't make eye contact, don't engage - standard for any urban environment.
When my rural and suburban friends visit though hoo-boy am I exposed to the fear they're pushed. They think every step is terrifying. "Wouldn't it be safer to take an uber?" (vs getting on the train). "Are you sure it's safe to eat here?" I've had conservative family call me to ask if I was "safe" during political protests - that happened 10 miles away from me in a single park, lasting for 2 days - claiming they saw "<> is on fire, I saw it on the news!".
It always amazes me how people who don't live in my city keep trying to tell me how I'm wrong about living there. It's completely arrogant.
Her doing an American country accent will be interesting, especially right after Hungarian in the Brutalist - but she is by far my favorite actress and I'm very excited for this one.
or office space!
It feels weird at first, but it really is the best safest way to store the auditable amount, and really most of the time with currency you don't need to ever mutate it at the DB level, so why introduce the possibility at all of a precision error. One thing that is common is that you do a order by of your transactions, which is why the imprecise is useful, but then you display the string version to the user. It also keeps the precision rather than truncating the precision off (with money the .00 is important, most banks require exact precision to know that you didn't accidentally have a rounding/truncation error)
Right now I'm using proton. I tried Zoho for a while, but somehow magically I was subscribed to a ton of spam, and they were just overall shady. I may switch, but right now I'm happy
I've heard it's good. I saw the preview and it made it look terrible, but reviews both from critica and audiences seem to like it. I'll be checking it out soon.
I'm sure it'll be a standard romcoms, but romcoms can be fun imo
Double is not perfectly precise. It is quite literally a function that calculates what the value should be. There are converters to show the drift: https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html
$40.01 is literally stored as 01000010001000000000101000111101 in a float type, which is literally stored as 40.009998321533203125. The margin of error goes up the larger the number.
Either you're just trolling, or incredibly arrogant. I have been coding in the FinTech space for over a decade and can tell you firsthand that these are real issues, and have real consequences.
But hey, don't take my word for it:

There have been some famous disasters thanks to floating point math
As for rounding, I can't even think of a way to describe what a terrible idea that is. I'd suggest reading those articles and asking the stock exchange why they don't "just round it" when dealing with millions of transactions that deal with fractions of pennies. "Just round it"
I got my own domain and registered it with an email service. I figured that companies come and go, but my domain will stay the same and I could just swap it to another.
Siddy Holloway is doing a special I'd really like to watch, but it's only on BBC2 from what I see. Will it be on a streaming service or anything?
We have an amazing bar near me that has an "all gendered restroom" that would make my rural family members cry out in fear. A sink in the middle big enough for 15 people to wash their hands. On one side is urinals, the other stalls, and all are fully enclosed and lockable individually. The horror
