@Windows Complianing about “this UI thing” in Windows 3.0 to my brother when I was a kid was my first “feature”. I’ve since accepted it and made it my lifeblood
Windows is (almost) 40! How long have you been along for the ride? Age yourself in the comments with the year and first Windows feature you used. #Windows40th
@F1 Max was too aggressive, data should show the psi pressure applied to braking from piastri, if it’s the same or less than other races he should have time back. My opinion.
Apparently the kids find 👍offensive.
You know what us oldies find offensive? A 🫡 reply to comments that could be considered advice or instructions.
A 👍 works great in this situation… 😃
I don't understand the hate for Starfields first DLC, Shattered Space. There are many unique POI's and fun side quests. It's basically what the community has been asking for, solar systems / planets with a unique feel. A tilt toward exploration. Happy to buy more DLC like this
@elonmusk I don't care who it is, someone has to think "what if we cant' fix it?" and start planning. Plenty of other billionaires who can spend their money on uplifting everyone.
Part of behind human is helping others. Another part is dreaming big.
How often do you *actually* use recursion in your programs?
I'm not sure if I'm the only one here, but I'm going to put it out in the open:
I've been programming for 20+ years, and while I understand recursion… I never use it. Ever. Seriously 🙂
I feel like there's a huge emphasis on recursion in computer science topics because there are seemingly elegant solutions that arise with recursion. It seems to make some algorithms align better from a mathematical perspective, perhaps?
In reality, debugging recursion is a pain. It's also a nightmare to deal with if you have very deep recursion (your call stack gets ridiculous).
I've just never had a need to use recursion in production code. I've found that converting over to an iterative loop based approach is almost always more readable and easier to debug.
And I'm generalizing, of course, but this has been my working experience.
So after 20+ years of writing code, my brain never thinks about things recursively (even though I understand the concept). But it has also never once slowed me down 🙂
What's been your experience using recursion in production code bases? Do you use it just because it was there, or did you add it in with purpose? I'd love to hear!

So, if you think your sentence needs to start with "So", it probably doesn't. So if you find yourself starting your sentence with "so", consider how it would sound without it, so you don't sound so passive aggressive.
