I’ll be honest. The nutritional value of the french fries at a Steak 'n Shake don’t matter to me at all when I’m downing a 4000 calorie shake with it and a 1500 calorie burger. If it makes the fries tastier, I think that’s all anyone there will care about.

Kinda strange that Tesla advertises them as electric vehicles when they burn so much gasoline. In my opinion, they should be fined for false advertising.

For personal projects, I don’t really care what you do. If someone who doesn’t know how to write a line of code asks an LLM to generate a simple program for them to use on their own, that doesn’t really bother me. Just don’t ask me to look at the code, and definitely don’t ask me to use the tool.

I have a 16 with a discrete GPU. Couldn’t recommend it more. It does sound like a rocket ship sometimes, but performs like a midrange tower, which is exactly what I wanted.

You can manage Python packages? When I try to pip install -r requirements.txt, it fails because I’m on Python 3.12 instead of 3.11, except it doesn’t tell me that’s why so I spend the next hour debugging that only to later find out that I also installed the packages globally instead of in a venv and now I need to uninstall them to unfuck my other environments.

But hey, if it works for you, then that’s great.

Wait, you’re bringing up Python and saying Rust has the worst dependency system you’ve ever seen?

No.

Although I think it’s a symptom of a larger problem. At the very least, consider Rider (or for non-C# code, VS Code/Codium/your terminal editor of choice).

At work, we have to use VS for C# development though, due to us having VS licenses and not Rider licenses. I guess we could use VS Code for C# dev, but I could also use Morse code to type, and neither of those sound like a good time when you take our work tooling into account.

As one of BC’s southern neighbors, just pull the plug and make him beg. That’s how you negotiate with Trump.

This administration’s contradictions are so wild to me. They want a smaller government and hate socialists, so… they want USPS to be government controlled? They want to start doing UBI (DOGE stimulus checks)?

Without context, there’s no reason to compare the performance of these. The compiler is complex enough that what you do in the loop and after the loop matters with regards to optimizations.

Do you have more context? What’s actually happening in the code?

In other words:

Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Same-sex marriage does have protections in the law Biden signed though. That doesn’t stop congress from repealing those protections, but it’s another wall at least.

Honestly considering saying we’re from BC. It’s a short drive from us anyway.

For #4: the 'de lifetime is the lifetime of the deserializer (and input data). It’s used to allow you to deserialize the data into a type without copying it, like deserializing a &'a [u8] buffer into a &'a str. It’s documented here if you want to read more.

From the article:

While the bill is meant to address a serious problem—the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)

On one hand, this seems rough. Being able to send and receive mail seems just a little important.

On the other hand, I have wished in the past that I didn’t have a mailbox. 99% of my mail is spam, and probably ~5% isn’t even addressed to me. Everything else could have been an email.

Trump says a lot of things that, if taken in a certain light, can be NCII. Might be a good idea to flag his posts on all platforms so that they can be further investigated by those platforms if this passes.

All with the goal to keep NCII off the internet, of course.

Flew to Europe for a vacation we planned last year. Turns out people hate Americans now (more than before anyway), and I can’t even blame them.

Ironically, many languages that violate these rules are spoken in the US natively. People in the US just like to forget that there are other natively spoken languages (spoken since before English was introduced to the continent even).

English. I can go to the store and buy a sandwich for $8.99 all in one sentence, but splitting it on periods gives you two sentences.
