> Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.

That taco shop that doesn't want to deal with cash isn't a creditor.

Hmm what would happen if I sit down, eat some Taco's and when it is time to pay, I claim I have cash only? Aren't they a creditor in that case?

>Real numbers can’t be perfectly represented in hardware simply because there are infinitely many of them.

There are also infinitely many integers, but we can represent them just fine inside a finite bound. The problem with reals (and rationals to a lesser extent) is that, within any range we are interested in, a single real number can be infinitely 'long'.

That is a nice insight.

Instead of peace propaganda, Ukrainians create memes about bombings. And not just any Ukrainians, this is posted by official Defence intelligence of Ukraine. How people will judge this in future ? IDK, but I think Ukrainians shooting yourself in the foot.
LittlePeter · 3 years ago
If Ukrainians are shooting themselves in the foot by doing memes about bombings, how would you describe Russia's invasion? How will that be judged?

snap is the new systemd

I dunno, I am only slightly inconvenienced by it, not enough to run apt uninstall snap though.

> Teams has been transformative in the way I work with my team over the last few years

I've found it to be a big downgrade from slack.

How has of been transformative for you?

LittlePeter · 3 years ago
It was transformative _because_ it was a downgrade.

On a side note, has anyone ever negotiated an effective raise by asking for 100% salary for an 80% employment?

- "We're sorry but your salary range is above what we are willing to offer."

- "I am prepared to accept your upper range salary for 80% employment."

- "Deal!"

Unless your back-and-forth flew over my head, GP is referring to being able to format a range of lines in a file (i.e. a selection), they're not talking about selecting a formatting style.
LittlePeter · 3 years ago
You are right, I probably misunderstood. But now I am curious, what is the use case for formatting just a range of lines and not the entire file?
