Neat! Even-though they should probably use a custom type rather than the generic "Stream" to communicate that this needs to be closed. Or remove the try-with-resource block if closing is not necessary.

This way it leaves some room for misinterpretation.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Yeah... it's difficult enough to find engaging conversations with people I do know. If you want to talk for the sake of talking, there won't be a shortage of possibilities. And if you are sociable enough, people will do so.

But outside of these parameters? It's very slim picking.

Or AI will double down in the Dunning Krueger effect, where true mastery not only diminishes, but people collectively take low erfort AI answers as the baseline truth.

Oh yeah, that's a fun exercise. And it comes with a mermaid generator as a bow on top too.

Did pretty much the same in Java at university.

Musk didn't found Tesla, he invested into it when it was small. Musk brought good marketing and gave the people who were declined at GM a platform. So far so good.

It was a success. He got more investment, built factories, became market leader. Built an industrial stack where there was none.

And gradually he got crazy. Dodgecoin, Nazi gestures, thinking he has to safe humanity because left radicaly are destroying it.

Instead of cutting down on costs, Tesla insisted it is the only electrical car and priced it as such. Not to mention the cybertruck disaster everybody saw from miiles away.

Meanwhile, the Chinese have the best electrics with the currently best industrial basis for production and cheap resources.

Musk has too much money, got lucky with an investment and started becoming complacent. The rest of the story writes itself.

Gemini 2.5 Pro gets the joke and has by far the best answer:

This is a wonderful logistical puzzle!

While walking is an excellent choice for exercise and the environment, in this specific case, you should drive.

Here's a breakdown of the two scenarios:

# Scenario 1: You Walk

1. You walk 50 meters to the car wash.

2. You arrive, feeling refreshed.

3. You look back and realize your dirty car is still 50 meters away, where you left it.

4. The car remains unwashed.

# Scenario 2: You Drive

1. You get in your car.

2. You drive for approximately 10-20 seconds.

3. You arrive at the car wash with the car.

4. The car gets washed.

Conclusion:

To achieve your goal of washing your car, the car itself must be present at the car wash. Therefore, driving is the only logical option.

Enjoy your sparkling clean car

Sadly not. He is part of the current set of developers.

Maybe replace "benefits" with "profits"?

I like this way of thinking about it. I wish more comments would be as thoughtful as this!

I am not sure we can take a slogan from 2007 as a state of the art understanding.

But I am biased. I‘ve seen this slogan everywhere to promote UPFs that claim to be healthy because they are „vegan“.

Now that the market for meat alternatives has collapsed I don’t see this reasoning anymore. What a strange coincidence.

> the market for meat alternatives has collapsed

What country are you reporting from? It seems to be absolutely booming in the UK. A brief internet search suggests it's growing and predicted to boom in the US as well.

Yeah, though my Beyond Meat shares beg to differ on that. Down 95%!

That could be due to increasing competition? They had high brand awareness during the 2010s but (in the UK at least) we're seeing competitors like This and Alt, as well as cheap own-brand versions, coming onto the shelves in a big way.

UPF meat substitutes do tend to be healthier than their meat-based equivalent (see the SWAP-MEAT trial, for example).

I think people really underestimate how bad meat is for you.

It's extremely high in saturated fat and lots of meat is carcinogenic. We classify bacon in the same category of carcinogen as alcohol and tobacco. Meaning, we know, for sure, it causes cancer.

Yeah, IMO there’s a continuum between lean meats that I’d classify as relatively middle-of-the-road healthwise (like chicken), and processed red meat (pretty adverse health outcomes even from small amounts), and the fact that there’s a “butter and bacon are health foods” movement seems insane to me.

Unfortunately trends towards plant-based food seem to have taken a step backwards in recent years and I suspect the current moral panic around UPFs hasn’t helped. But the evidence on UPFs as harmful is pretty tenuous at the moment, while the evidence on meat and adverse health effects is considerably more comprehensive.

>I am not sure we can take a slogan from 2007 as a state of the art

Me neither, I prefer common knowledge that has stood the test of time for a lot longer, like about 100 years more.

Not my downvote btw, corrective upvote actually.
