Yet Trump rarely articulates any policy, beyond incoherent rambling, except "I will fix it!". I guess it works...


he sat down on a podcast and talked for 3 hours about his policies


"talked" and "policies" are both doing extremely heavy lifting here


On Trump's official campaign page there There are 21 or 45 'groups' of policies (each video contains a handful of policies or directions)

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47

All of these videos are from 2023, so, before Trump began working with Elon, RFK Jr, Tulsi, Vivek.

I was introduced to these videos only recently on X- the videos about censorship, homelessness, and the deep state in particular are .. interesting.

It's also interesting to see the refrain "Trump has no firm policy ideas" when these videos have been up since 2023


>for a protest that got out of hand

Yeah, only a few people died right?...


Only Ashley Babbitt died due to Jan 6.


There's a video on YouTube of some guy gathering pee bottles discarded by Amazon drivers/contractors, created a fake drink, and got it listed on Amazon to the top spot.


Yeah I don't know how you would break up Microsoft Office or regulate that. There are competitors but it's so pervasive, most companies use it. You'd have to create a public API that other competitors could use, and the HR lady is going to be pissed!


For 1/r^2, wouldn't curved spacetime mess that up? Not sure how you would calculate say a moon or other things in between.


it _does_ mess it up, but near the gravitational source, not way out like the problems with the galactic gravity.


Thats beyond ridiculous. Most languages when you are reading a line from a file, and it doesn't have a \n terminator, its going to give you that line, not say, oops, this isn't a line sorry.


I don't think you can meaningfully generalize to "most languages" here. To give an example, two extremely popular languages are C and Python. Both have a standard library function to read a line from a text stream - fgets() for C, readline() for Python. In both cases, the behavior is to read up to and including the newline character, but also to stop if EOF is encountered before then. Which means that the return value is different for terminated vs unterminated final lines in both languages - in particular, if there's no \n before EOF, the value returned is not a line (as it does not end with a newline), and you have to explicitly write your code to accommodate that.


Most languages but not all. I've even been bit by this recently in cron.

Assuming that EOF is identical to \\nEOF will end up causing trouble for you one day, because it's not actually identical.


That's a relatively recent invention compared to tools like `wc` (or your favorite `sh` for that matter). See also: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/chop wherein the norm was "just cut off the last character of the line, it will always be a newline"


“A\n” is two lines.


Factually incorrect.


I imagine there must be lots of gravity lensing going on as well, not sure how they deal with that.


And make them pay for their own diapers.


Sometimes a framework will do weird things, like convert it to scientific notation, or round it, or add a ton of zeroes. Like BigDecimal in Java and Decimal in C#. They can sneak up on you.


BigDecimals aren't floats, though. They're arbitrary precision rational numbers.
