At least a few years ago (~2014), the fare search was actually nearly instant, but all major airfare search sites added a delay because customers had the impression they were getting a better deal when they had to wait. It seems like the delay has been dialed back lately.


I’m not sure why people are making a big deal of it. At my gym it took maybe 3 minutes. You tie a knot and show you know how to take up slack. And it only needs to be done once.

There is a second test for lead but most people take a class and get the lead card during the class.


When you are modifying a long closure and don’t notice that you are shadowing a variable that is used later.

Really curious about this:

> If you have access to a program named 'Purify' ... learn how to use it.

Anyone know what this was or use it?


It's a memory debugger, in the same class of things as Valgrind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PurifyPlus

“10x price hike” would have been totally clear. “Factor of 10 price hike” would probably be a formal way to say it.


The Debian images (https://raspi.debian.net/) haven't been updated recently and don't support the Pi 5 at all. And support for other hardware is inconsistent.


How is this any different from going into a Panda Express and trying to order in Mandarin?


Because it's called a McFlurry on the menu. Japan is very fond of taking loanwords from English but changing the pronunciation and meaning, which can be one of the hardest parts of any language.

> As of 12:30am PST I have located the Box and successfully executed a Rickroll Injection Attack on the target system. Out of respect for the artist I will not be revealing the Box's location, but for any veteran Mission resident only a couple obvious locations exist.


I think it helps that the technical concept that drove the main plot was a very real and still-present risk to public key encryption systems.
