Well, but then you're basically just pushing the mutability onto the container, since you need to be able to replace elements within it.

It's a good strategy at times though. Like say you're working in a language where strings are immutable and you want a string you can change. You can wrap it in a list along the lines s=['foo'] and pass references to the list around instead. Then if you go s[0]='bar' at some point, all the references will now see ['bar'] instead.

1. Honestly, I don't think dialog is bad for this? Maybe npc_dialog or npc_dialog_tree if you want to be less ambiguous?
2. Something like prompt, query, or npc_prompt maybe?
3. reply, response, or player_response? Maybe response could be the container that holds a reply (the text the player says) and a link to the next prompt?

I like the Harvey's veggie burger. It's kind of old school, predating all the new plant-based ones, but it hits the spot for me and often goes on sale in the app.

I wish we had an Odd Burger where I live. My daughter and her vegan boyfriend are always saying great things about it.

If I'm not mistaken, coal mining itself is a major methane emitter. I wonder if they account for that in this comparison?

But she’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.

That's an odd comment. It smells like fear. Is he worried she will overtake him in net worth?

I watched a documentary on this awhile back. The municipality asked the public if it would be enough for them to dump treated water into a lake and then draw from that lake? And then someone with expertise in the matter commented that this would necessitate another treatment phase, since any wild animal could take a dump in the lake. So he seemed to think closing the loop made the most sense from a practical standpoint.

Right? I guess that's what puzzles me the most about it. It must be really hard for mammals to become green since you would think it would confer an advantage in many environments you find them in.

I guess there are a lot of mammal species that kind of make themselves scarce during the broad daylight hours, so maybe green camouflage is less relevant if you're only out between dusk and dawn?

There is bounds checking, but it's opt-in. I often enable it on debug builds.

I tried it briefly. It certainly is a lot snappier than Atom ever was, I'll give it that. Seemed to be pretty good with Python, but when I opened some C++ source, it went around reformatting my indentation and replaces tabs with spaces. I will have to see if there is a way to disable all that, as I found it obnoxious.

Yeah how's that going? (I don't live in Alberta.)

It seems to me this idea of opting out of federal programmes might score some quick political points if you're a have-province, in that it could be argued you're sinking more into them than you're getting out. But Alberta has historically had a boom-and-bust economy, and as such, cutting those federal lifelines seems unwise. But what do I know?

Last time I was visiting family in Toronto, I noticed the speed limit on major streets had been lowered to 40 kph (25 mph). So the same as residential streets, in other words.

I asked my brother about this. He said that in spite of measures taken by the city to improve infrastructure, pedestrian and cyclist fatalities were on the way up due to the heavier and higher off the ground vehicles people drive today. The city admitted they did not expect people to drive that slow, but if they could start ticketing people doing over 60, that might save some lives? It's pretty sad.

I often go chmod -R go+rX . if I want to give read-only access to whatever I'm working on to everyone else. The capital X only sets the executable bit on directories.
