Wenn wouldn't have pearls like while (dst++ = src++);

What a wierd phrasing. It reads to me like it excludes the possibility of it being the same.

It's said this way because the default assumption is that a school district extends only to city or county lines. They can be larger or smaller, though.

"can be" ≠ "must be"

"can be" is used to list all possible values, which is where the confusion arises. It sounds like: ∀x, x>C v x<C.

"Might be", I think would be better.


"can" can be a synonym for "might" / "may"

(purists would argue that it can't, but common usage trumps purism)

Also, I will point out that, even from the perspective of formal logic, the original statement has "city or county". In other words there is no single fixed C - C could be a city or a country. Since counties can be larger than cities, it stands to reason that a school district could be larger than the size of a city while being equal to the size of a county. And can be smaller than the size of a county while being equal to the size of a city.

So, even assuming that the original statement is taken to have the logical meaning you've interpreted, that meaning does not technically forbid school districts from being equal to the size of a county (as long as that county is larger than some city, so that we can still make the true statement "this district is larger than a city"), nor from being equal to the size of a city (as long as that city is smaller than some county, so that we can still make the true statement "this district is smaller than a county").



This is not in the context of a requirement level. The definition of MAY as defined there makes no sense here.


That's a folk etymology. Sorry is a derivative of sore. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sorry

Nowadays those 6000 people don't even develop anything, they do outsourcing.

Why does it say "microsoft" locked the thread?

Because the `microsoft` group account is the owner of the repo. With group accounts, you can designate many individuals to have admin access to the repo, but the actions taken by those admins will be attributed to the group account that owns the repo. (Because presumably the rest of the admins agree with the action taken, otherwise they would undo/revert it).

Thank you

And by introducing Monad, we gain the ability to abstract over these things: List, Option, Result, Functions, State, ...


yes, which is why Monad should be an interface that types like List, Option, Result etc implement, instead of flatMap being just a random discrete function that exists on random types by accident, with no common abstract link between them

Kotlin, Java, basically every other language except Haskell, F# etc didn't get that memo


The EU let Ursula von der Leyen say a lot of false statements about this https://netzpolitik.org/2026/gesichtsscan-und-handy-zwang-vo...


She is basically a human bullshit generator whose goal function is attaining power.


Fun Fact: your salary comes in a very regular Intervall, son you can convert dollars per year to $Hz.

100k$/year is around 3µHz$.


That sounds too low; 3 m$Hz would probably be right, but 3 µ$Hz is very little.


Yes, the year has pi * 1e7 seconds

1e5 / 3.14e7 ≈ 3e-3, milli, not micro


You're right of course.

Why does Apple not give that Wi-Fi option there? I mean, is there a reason we’d be sympathetic to?
