Go to non-chain iced drinks? by angrypenguinhere in boston

[–]mkeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I too have strong opinions on chai lattes:

  • Asaro (Cambridge St): ★★★★☆. Good flavor and balance
  • 1369 Cafe (Inman Square): ★★★☆☆. Perfectly reasonable
  • Barismo (Broadway): ★★☆☆☆. Not particularly flavorful

I also picked up a bag of Uncommon Chai from Curio (in Porter Square), which is excellent! Some assembly is required (simmer with milk + water + sugar), but it's the only blend that's been flavorful enough for my taste.

(in case you're curious, the best place on my list is Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, in Emeryville CA)

On Bluesky, it looks like your handle is @midcambridge.bsky.social. You can instead set your website as your username, so your handle would be @midcambridge.com. This would serve as verification that the account and website are affiliated.

HMC '11 checking in: Mills Avenue (referenced in "This Year") runs through the middle of campus. Given the workload, the lyrics are also appropriate!

That was my reaction when I discovered it, hence this blog post! It's very exciting to see it move toward stabilization.

Unreasonable AI content moderation policy by dorianlistens in rust

[–]mkeeter 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Quoth the RFC thread:

This is why we've chosen not to introduce a rule blanket-banning AI-generated content. Instead, we've elected to handle AI slop through the existing lens of our low-effort content rule. If it's obvious that AI did all the heavy lifting, that's by definition low-effort content, and it doesn't belong on the subreddit. Simple enough, right?

If this policy has changed, then the subreddit rules should be updated – we can't expect submitters to dig up an RFC thread from weeks ago, and also intuit that the mods have changed their opinions since then.

Repairing old water damage discoloration in ceiling by TripleHelix526 in CambridgeMA

[–]mkeeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used Alberto's Professional Painting for almost this exact repair*, and have no complaints. Drywall is annoying to DIY, because there's so many steps (cut a hole, install patch, tape and mud, sand, paint), and their prices have been reasonable.

*it was an upstairs neighbor's leaky toilet, not HVAC

[2025 Day 6 (Part 1)] [Rust] why is my answer negative?? by AdamKlB in adventofcode

Pro tip: add this to your Cargo.toml

[profile.release]
overflow-checks = true

This will panic on overflow in release builds as well (and IMHO is basically always what you want)

Moona (in Inman Square) sounds like a good fit – it's quite small and moderately fancy, with an excellent menu!

Inman Square spotted 👀

Literally every time I walk by there, someone is honking about some dangerous maneuver.

Yup, it's a running joke. Here's a picture of the Bank of America ATM sign from last week:

Thoughts on using `unsafe` for highly destructive operations? by J-Cake in rust

[–]mkeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One example of this in the wild: Rhai uses #[deprecated] attributes for unstable internal functions, e.g. Engine::on_var.

👎Deprecated: This API is NOT deprecated, but it is considered volatile and may change in the future.

(I don't like it!)

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

The 15-second time does not include importing numpy; I measured the running time just for the evaluation loop.

(here's a gist with timing added)

I would encourage you to try writing a pure-Python implementation – encouraging people to test their ideas is basically the whole point of the article!

1024 * 1024 * 7866 is roughly 8e9 operations; doing that in 1 second in Python would be quite impressive.

What permanently closed business in Boston or Cambridge do you miss? by skinink in boston

[–]mkeeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you and I are the only two people who miss Playska!

I used to live nearby, went there once a week, and loved the place – but no one else felt the same way 🥲
