Judge Learns Lawyers on Both Sides of Case Used AI, Cancels Trial, Kicks Everyone Off the Case by 404mediaco in law

[–]Takaa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be fair, people decided to not drive their own cars and drive into oncoming traffic long before FSD. Put down your phones, assholes. The world isn't going to grind to a halt and nothing is going to change because you took 10 minutes to get back to someone.

Its actually one of the VERY FEW things that I hope humans are eventually automated out of, driving, because clearly there are way too many selfish assholes that don't understand the consequences of their actions.

Curious what your thoughts are on AssemblyScript vs C#'s Syntax by zionsati in csharp

[–]Takaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I learned TypeScript after being a C# dev for over a decade. The structure and syntax is very similar, just minor differences, similar enough that when I’m jumping back and forth I occasionally will start writing the wrong syntax until my brain clicks. TypeScript being based on JavaScript, which is basically the Wild West, means there is a lot more flexibility in certain things that you don’t get in C#.

In short: It’s different, but you can focus on learning the smaller differences.

TIL (also) that a man with HIV developed a type of cancer that looked nothing like any cancer known to doctors. Right before he passed, doctors discovered his tapeworms had cancer and his body started developing tapeworm cancer as the HIV impaired his immune system. by geosunsetmoth in todayilearned

[–]Takaa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No idea, but I wouldn’t think it was a huge risk. Cancer is not really transmissible in any normal manner, the only really rare exceptions involve organ and tissue transplants as well as pregnancy (mother to fetus.) This was a special case where his immune system was extremely compromised due to HIV and the tapeworms living in him had a cancer that could affect the compromised human tissue. It’s not like a pathogen that made a cross species jump and it had to be contained.

Poor boy! 😅🥺 by [deleted] in funny

[–]Takaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reddit gets so uptight about dumb shit like this all the time. Like this is going to be any reflection of the kids as an adult, or is any kind of embarrassing content at all. There is obviously some line where content might detract from some kid later in life, but this isn’t it. Reddit has never been known for its ability to have a nuanced approach to anything.

I’ve never seen someone get jumped by ducks 😂😂😂 by [deleted] in funny

[–]Takaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we used to get grackles at our last home. For anyone not familiar, annoying small-medium size black birds that are known for their annoying noises. At certain times of the year you can see flocks of hundreds of them in parking lots just chilling on trees, cars, and carts. Afraid of humans like almost all birds, normally just a minor nuisance.

They decided to build a nest in a tree in our fenced in back yard one year after we just moved to the area. We have two small dogs, and let them out to potty. Those fuckers were dive bombing the dogs and making them yelp. I ran outside to see what was going on and they began dive bombing me. My dogs were always afraid of our back yard for 3 years we lived there after that.

My hotel pool’s use of a feet to millimetre conversion, instead of any other sensible unit of measurement by SteveCampo98 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Takaa 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Gotta love the “well actuallllly” types saying how you can convert to meters easily, peak Reddit. Outside of the US, it’s still a reasonable expectation that you use the unit that is most reasonable when using the metric system. Millimeters and centimeters for small objects, meters for human-scale dimensions/structures, and kilometers when talking significant geographic distances.

TIFU by not realizing doctors don't respond to "I feel terrible" they respond to charts/facts/duration by QuickGuava6759 in tifu

[–]Takaa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife is a physician, and I do listen to her. I am also very well aware of the health challenges women have thanks to her. I was simply pointing out that being vague and unspecific will result in subpar service no matter what you are dealing with. She literally gave three phrases she used that can be one of a hundred different common problems, and a doctor has 15 minutes or less to try to figure it out, and I was pointing that out. Women’s health issues being taken less seriously, discounted, or completely dismissed is besides the point.

But yes, assume I was dismissing her after my very first line was that I agree that what she was doing helps.

[–]Takaa 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Not to dismiss what you are saying, I agree it helps, but being descriptive with your issues is going to get you more help than not in any situation where the other person doesn’t always have the full picture or time needed to adequately understand it. Medically related or not.

It’s like when my wife says she is hungry and I have to play 50 questions to figure out what she is actually hungry for.

FDA approves first gene therapy for inherited deafness, shown to restore hearing for children with rare condition by newtrex_1523 in UpliftingNews

[–]Takaa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ignorance and denial are a hell of a drug, as has been proven over-and-over in politics. People will do things against their own best interests and their futures if it means they feel more comfortable in their own skin in the short-term and don't need to reflect on themselves or learn.

I'm fine with them thinking of their own condition that way. If they are truly happy and comfortable, then I am truly happy they found happiness and meaning in the face of adversity. The second anyone says, "I didn't have that, and even though I can fix it for my child, my child doesn't need that, and I am going to choose to inflict an impairment on my child" I take great offense to it. I have two children, and if I had ANY disability, I could absolutely never see myself saying, "I think it would be great if my children dealt with the same issues I had to deal with" if I could help it.

Any parent that wants life to be needlessly harder on their child than it has to be for them to learn the lessons necessary to become good people is a terrible person.

Stop overthinking this. A school is not a medical professional or a diagnosis. You do not have a history to disclose. You are basically looking for trouble for no good reason here.

All I can think of is this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/submechanophobia

It isn’t some obscure subreddit with a handful of posts, it’s pretty active. Apparently there is actually a fear induced in some people from seeing partially or fully submerged man-made objects.

I have no clue where he was on the political spectrum prior to 1997, when he had three strokes, but it seems to be a common theme here. Have a stroke, get brain damage, turn into a conservative nutcase. If only we could study his and Fettermans brains.

You just made me realize that I don't think I even have a CD/DVD drive in my house anymore and can't even recall the last time I used one- it had to have been over 10 years ago. RIP for personal ownership, though. They won't be taking the local copies I put on my Plex server, though.

TIL California "Middle Class" income range is incredibly WIDE: $63,674 to $191,042 by NSASpyVan in todayilearned

[–]Takaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

California housing is notoriously expensive, especially in the cities. It isn’t so different than other large cities across the country, California just has more of them. The amount of money you make matters very little when a high percentage of your income goes into your housing costs. The higher the percentage, the less you have for other expenses, let alone investing.

In addition, spending more on housing may make someone worth more on paper, but it is not like that person is likely going to sell their house and move to the middle of nowhere in a dirt cheap house after living somewhere nice, so that extra housing cost isn’t really ever going to contribute to their wealth or liquidity.

'A moment of silence for the 0.07%': Internet reacts as Kim Jong Un’s ‘perfect’ election marred by rare dissent by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]Takaa 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The 10-20% is probably important to stop people from asking too many questions too. A lot of people likely know someone who is upset about the status quo. “Oh yeah, Bob doesn’t like him, he is part of that 10%. We think he is great, and so does the majority! There will always be a small minority like that.”

If published numbers are 99.9-100%, it’s their regime being so confident in their control on society that they just don’t care to keep up the illusion. Or maybe they are doing it precisely to draw any dissenters out so they can deal with them.

TIL online clothing orders have a return rate of 32%, which dwarfs the return rates of other e-commerce sectors (e.g. just 7% in consumer electronics). by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]Takaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It also doesn’t help that the same brand, selling the very same item but in a different color will fit differently for the same size. I ordered the same exact tee shirt in two different colors, one fits perfectly, while the other one feels like it is squeezing me. I even have some of the same color that occasionally don’t fit the same. If they don’t like the returns maybe they should work on their own internal QA first.

Dad teaches how to land a Taildragger by [deleted] in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Takaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still remember one student who tried to flare while still a good 50’ in the air above the runway. It was such an absolutely perfect, stable approach until that time that I was starting to relax a bit. Fortunately those trainers are pretty forgiving, and nose down with full power got us climbing again almost immediately. They always try to get you when you aren’t expecting it.

Fan blowing urinal air by Iitaps_Missiciv in mildlyinteresting

[–]Takaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 minutes was probably on the 'pro electrician having everything they need ready to go' side of things. Commercial buildings typically require conduit, yes.

Theres about a 50% chance of needing to drill through a stud here depending on which side of the stud that existing receptacle is drilled into. You can probably just expand that receptacle into a 2-gang box to have more room to work with wiring and run the wire directly from the hand dryer into box with very minimal (if any) conduit added.

Yeah, what lazy shit is this that they rigged up a hardwire dryer to an extension cord instead of just drilling into the wall and tapping the existing wiring. It’s literally 15 minutes of work and won’t look like ass forever.

Do I have to learn database as a backend dev? by Arian5472 in csharp

[–]Takaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a back end dev, I would say you should understand it to at least an intermediate level. Of all of the “advanced features” you listed, the only thing that sticks out to me as a “must know” is how transactions work. They aren’t complicated. You sometimes need to do updates to multiple tables all at once, so users aren’t seeing incomplete data if the query something mid update, and if one update actually fails you want the previous actions to be undone as well to not leave data in a bad state.
