These are the things you can do when you don’t give away both sides of every street to fully-subsidized car storage.

Like a falling chimney (google it), it breaks because the top can't fall fast enough.

Note the section you’re in at that doc link: “Claude for Work (Team & Enterprise Plans) -> Team & Enterprise Plan Features -> Project visibility and sharing”

Huh, did they remove it from the normal subscription then? I've never had a team & enterprise plan.

If you can get it on your clipboard, you can usually paste it into Google or append to `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/` and get the answer.

It’s a waste of time for canvassers to try to change anyone’s position; people’s political positions come from their lived experiences.

Canvassing is all about ensuring that the people who already agree with your position know how to express that on the ballot, and do.


The polls predict chance of winning, not share of the vote.

If I predict a coin toss to be 50/50 that doesn’t mean I expect it to land on its side.


The killer feature for me is if you could tell it when you throw something in the bottom of the freezer or back of the pantry and it reminds you do do something with it in two months


In many situations, I would imagine an overhead power cable would be feasible.


What if the upper-left corner and the one to its right are mined?


"The function checks if it is the first click, and that the square being clicked is a mine. It then tries to move the mine to the upper-left corner. If unsuccessful it tries the square to the right of it. If all of the first row is occupied by mines, the function tries to put the mine in the leftmost square of the row below, and so on."

What does the function do if the entire board is mines?


See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-REcpPz3vw It causes some strange bugs to occur!


An array out of bounds access.


Found the tester :)

Jokes aside, I love it how in a group of software engineers someone can always think of an even more unlikely, but somehow realistic edge case.

For me, one of the marks of a senior engineer would be to then either go "we'll just not allow the board to be filled with entirely mines in the builder", or "well, if that ever happens: just let it crash". A practical solution to a theoretical case. Whereas the more junior engineer would spend the next few days researching and refactoring the algorithm to address this case. Obv. "it depends", letting my insuline pump "just crash" isn't cool, but minesweeper, meh.


It BSODs!


I thought 5 was supposed to be pronounced "fife" but this page only seems to half say that. ("faif" in the first row, but "five" in the second)


IIRC in WWII the UK settled on 'fife' and nine, while the US went with five and 'niner'. Arthur C. Clarke's novel Glide Path described the adoption of fife.
