Doubles have a much higher max value than ints, so if the method were to convert all doubles to ints they would not work for double values above 2^31-1.
(It would work, but any value over 2^31-1 passed to such a function would get clamped to 2^31-1)

US citizens will need to pay for a visa to travel to Europe starting in 2024
Sounds very similar to ESTA, which you have to get as a european visiting the US.
This one is a lot cheaper though, 8$ for 3 years, ESTA costs 14$ a year + 7$ at the port of entry (usually included in your airline ticket). Canada has this as well, ETA, which is also a lot cheaper.

I noticed my car had been keyed this morning. How should I go about fixing it?
Depends, how much do you care, and how good does your car still look?
If you drive a pristine car that you plan on selling eventually: get it done at a bodyshop.
If you drive an older car or plan to keep it until it dies, and dont care about the looks too much: chrisfix has some good videos on working with a paint pen
If you drive a 20 year old car in the rust belt: lol

It's not great
I dont post my code to github because I would rather use gitlab

What's a good torque wrench to get?
I just use my regular wrench and say "click" out loud when it feels nice and tight

I like how textbooks all have ISBNs
They make pirating them so much easier!

Every book has a unique number used to identify them, the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). If you can figure out the ISBN of a book, it becomes an easy search term for piracy, because now you aren't looking for a long title, you're looking for a unique number!
Most bookstores will list the ISBN of a book on their website, so that step should be pretty easy.
Then to commit the piracy, you can often just google the ISBN + filetype:pdf and get a free PDF pretty frequently.
There is also library genesis (libgen), where you can look up pirated books via their ISBN, which has a super wide selection.
And if even libgen does not have it, you can try torrent trackers (read up more on !piracy )
Of course most of those options are legally questionable or illegal depending on where you live, and I of course would not recommend you actually perform them ;)

It's Almost Impossible To Find A Decent Used Car Under $20,000
A beater for 5k? Ive bought 500$ beaters less than 6 years ago!
500$ nowadays will not even get you a junker with its engine and transmission removed.

I actually have aphantasia :)
I get open-eyed distortions and wavyness, and can see some images with my eyes closed. I have very little control over what I see, and it is more like short glimpses, but it is tons more interesting than the black void I usually stare into with my eyes closed!

Because even a long (64-bit int) is too small :)
A long can hold 2^64-1 = 1.84E19
A double can hold 1.79E308
Double does some black magic with an exponent, and can hold absolutely massive numbers!
Double also has some situations that it defines as "infinity", a concept that does not exist in long as far as I know (?)

I really don't understand why companies can't post their pricing on their website ?
To use variable pricing to get you to pay the most amount possible, or to convince customers that are on the fence with a clever salestalk or small bonuses

Ive never used githubs CI/CD, but gitlab has quite a large ecosystem for its CI/CD.
Seems to me like you could use gitlab as a one-stop-shop to host everything from your code to your artifacts and containers, if you are willing to pay for those fancy features
Free is able to just do basic CI/CD for like 250 minutes a month, or unlimited via your own runners/build servers, thats about it
