MY HONEST THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SIMPSONS SEASON ‼️🍩 It's the most unique season they have ever dropped. It's really fun to play, although it's pretty sweaty right now. I'll probably wait a few days until it settles down. I love how smooth the game feels thanks to the cartoony map, and the gunplay is amazing. The Simpsons weapons and items are super fun, and it's packed with the story too. I'm really excited to see where it leads! #Fortnite #FortniteNews

I’ve read about that! Also massive gold mining around Box Creek in Rutherford County, with some hobbyist gold panning operations still open.

Trust me, you don’t want a CEO anywhere near the servers. The last time I got close to a live server, I tripped over a cable and took Unreal Tournament offline for hours.
Nice. That’s the nearest river I’ve never hiked along. Definitely need to explore it someday.

Beautiful. Where is that?

We have denotational semantics and operational semantics, but are missing entire fields like connotational semantics (what does the program look like it’s doing to a reader) and programming language linguistics.

A wrong argument rightly timed can lead to progress. Programming languages are the interface where computational semantics meet up with human language and understanding, and there’s an extreme shortage of human factors analysis here.

Carolina Hill forest restoration project, Chatham County, North Carolina. Following 160 years as a farm and then chemically managed pine plantation, restoration to natural Oak, Shortleaf Pine and Longleaf Pine began. It was a mess for 10 years, but has turned the corner.
Ore Hill, Mount Vernon Springs, North Carolina. This was the biggest iron mine in the south during the American Revolution and Civil War, but it’s fairly small. The bedrock is Pyrophyllite, leading to dry soils supporting an unusual Piedmont population of Chestnut Oak trees.

Is the book titled Mad Libs?

When I started working in python, I got lazy with “single assignment”, and I need to nudge myself about it. You should strive to never reassign or update a variable outside of true iterative calculations in loops. Having all the intermediate calculations still available is helpful in the debugger, and it avoids problems where you move a block of code and it silently uses a version of the variable that wasn’t what it originally had. In C/C++, making almost every variable const at initialization is good practice. I wish it was the default, and mutable was a keyword.
