Do breast implant surgeons charge a flat fee?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

No. Their fees are inflated.
|

|

Depends, some do volume business.

I'm sure they charge a robust fee!
(nipped that one in the bud, didn't I!)

If mammary serves me right, I believe they do.

If they did, wouldn't they go bust?

I was expecting a more titillating set of replies - the CPian's milking this for all it's worth.
What's wrong with us? Arola bunch of wimps or what?

If they do, that's a silly con.

So yesterday I received a call that the Canadian Revenue Agency is going to arrest me if I don't pay 4800 dollars.
Something like this:
IRS Scam Call from India - YouTube
I was busy and I hung up, however today I called back and they still are trying to scam people:
If you want to troll scammers: here is the number:
613-288-9226
Canadian police is too busy sitting on their hands so they will be operating probably for a long time.

Are you sure that it wasn't officer Alice Cooper ?

Actually the guy I talked to said his name is Eric Martin. What amazes me it is a regular phone number from Ottawa, open to every policeman to just call to verify they are scammers.
Yet still they operate without any authority taking any measures.. The only thing you can do is troll them like this epic call:
IRS Scammer gets real mad part 3 Scammer Has a Huge Meltdown!!! - YouTube

Or this one [^]
This guy wrote an automated process to continue calling the scammers' numbers until they stopped scamming people. He would shut the system down for a while until the scammers got new numbers.
Really funny.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Examining the open source Atom editor.
It's an interesting idea that the entire thing is written in JavaScript, but it doesn't feel like they picked the correct tool to write it in. Just seems like an exercise to see if it is possible.
However, it is pretty cool that the thing is cross-platform -- obviously JS makes that very possible.
JS syntax is so stringy.
Here's some code (from https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/src/path-watcher.js[^] ) with interesting comment:
const treeViewPackage = await atom.packages.getLoadedPackage('tree-view')
if (!treeViewPackage) return
await treeViewPackage.activationPromise
const treeViewModule = treeViewPackage.mainModule
if (!treeViewModule) return
const treeView = treeViewModule.getTreeViewInstance()

If you consider a webbrowser to be a platform, yes.
Since webbrowsers do not boot, it is not cross-OS. Your OS would need to come with a browser that supports said JavaScript, making it as cross-platform as GWBASIC.

This editor is a standalone project that runs in Node.js (on V8 I believe) and doesn't require a browser.
There are native installs for macOS, Windows and Linux.

..which isn't an operating system either. You're merely changing the name of the loader of the scripts.
