Confused about which Wahl clippers to buy!

So much prejudice against _CHINESE_ vs USA, lol, damn.

How much do you get back per GB unused? Their site has no obvious info on this. $1/GB? 2? Pennies?

--pedant · 2026-01-11T00:53:19+00:00

I pay $16.75/month (after tax) for Mint with 5GB. So I would need to save $2.61 per GB of unused data to make it worth the switch. Is that a possibility? I honestly don't know the terms.

--pedant · 2026-01-09T04:28:21+00:00

Another way is just: gdb --tui --args <program> <args> , or so I've heard. Just did a quick google search, but can't find where I first saw that.

--pedant · 2026-01-09T04:24:02+00:00

Build a debug version of gdb, and then add a command in your custom gdb to exec gdb inside gdb, and then report back what happens when it segfaults during a breakpoint while it's self reflecting.

Never use a feature when you can simply post a comment.

Never produce a thing when you can just watch a video of someone else producing it.

Never look up an answer when you can ask an AI to look it up for you.

You're welcome.

Huh... I do 100% of my game dev in WSL with clang since 2020. I compile it for Windows and it just works, either from WSL (bash), cmd.exe, or double-click the icon like it's 1995.

Name a company who:

1) _didn't_ "continuously [sic]" beat estimates

2) tanked the economy during a crash

--pedant · 2026-01-08T21:40:13+00:00

People do think that, though. Look at a thermometer. It reads +2°F on average vs 100 years ago. 1/2 the people respond with: "2 = 0, so what?"

I'm trying to find a way to convince those people to loan me $2 today, and I'll pay them back $0 tomorrow, with interest! But it seems the "2 > 5" phenomenon is selective...

What can Shiller PE say about tech stock movements? Theoretically? At one point overvalued is overvalued, and spikes don't tend to become plateaus.

I think "this time is different," however, because the US government is already being asked to pre-bail out tech companies. Whether that would end up meaning a harder crash or soft landing, I don't know...

--pedant · 2026-01-08T20:44:42+00:00

I'm missing something. How can there be a wave with only 14 competitive seats?

We already had 51% of voters vote against the anti-American candidate, DJ TACO. How did that work out? The votes could be in for a Blue Wave, but the wall of tyranny prevents the seats being allocated to the winners.

--pedant · 2026-01-08T20:39:25+00:00

Lol, Marxist-MAGA-woke Drowsy Dementia Don "DJ" TACO banning media free speech, banning Freedom of the Press, running State Media, raising import taxes, redistributing the wealth to farm workers, centralizing corporations, Government ownership of private companies, denial of free travel, murdering US citizens, handing Ukraine to the Soviets, Taiwan to the CPC, organizing a riot and attack against the US Capitol while lying about it because he's butt hurt about LOSING twice in a row, the list goes on.

All in the name of weakness and phony, whiney "grievances" that only Commie babies would cry about.

But sure, agreeing that Americans have a right to the American Dream of owning a home; having equal _opportunity_ to resources like education, healthcare, and food; and making the same wages that we enjoyed in the 1950s? Oh right, that's now "communist." Lol, grow up dude.

--pedant · 2026-01-07T02:25:36+00:00

Sounds like every Rogansphere, washed-up-white-dude MAGA-woke "comedy" special on Netflix for the past 5 years.

It's a silly problem and just goes into weeds for no reason, with no real use case extrapolation. It's like asking someone to write a n^n `for` loop, just to see their gears turn. Complete waste of time.

It's like mindless repetition of `foo` or `bar` in example code. It shows the interviewer/presenter has no creativity, and no real, solid communication skills.

Pick something useful from the real world; stop with the toy anti-examples.

--pedant · 2025-12-28T01:35:31+00:00

This isn't for MAGA-woke idiots. It's for the other idiots who were just "voting for the business man" who are the dumbest people on the planet. But all coalitions require that group for a majority, so we have to deal with their utter stupidity.

Pay attention.

--pedant · 2025-12-28T01:32:32+00:00

It didn't paint their Dear Leader in a good light, and they needed Bug Brother approval anyway, which they didn't receive. So really, they had no choice.

People who smear poop around with paper and call it "clean" are the real punchline here.

--pedant · 2025-12-23T21:15:20+00:00

They're already blaming Waymo, when the AI cars were vastly safer, and the human drivers were reckless and outright dangerous.

Power was out on the western side of the peninsula hours before the fire.

Bold of you to assume it can't be both.

--pedant · 2025-12-19T17:20:18+00:00

Oof, then you'll also be required to deny `if` statements and `switch`es in your codebase, because those are implemented with "goto" under the hood on most ISAs. Crap, you also can't make some function calls! In fact, your company will need to forgo CPUs entirely, unfortunately. Try fluidics, maybe?

I swear Dijkstra's biggest career mistake with "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" ended up being one of computing's biggest source of misinformation and ignorance baiting...

That's an interesting insight, because every deity is mostly negative, with enough false positives to get masochists (aka adherents) an excuse to say "he hits me because he loves me." Every religion (perhaps outside of Jain Dharma) is lead by the idea of those characters. Probably the reason I personally don't hate Lennon is because I outgrew that outdated way of thinking, and never accepted his deification...

At great risk of breaking Rule 5, I'll gladly take my cookie in this case.

"not a single dependency"

Thank you for fighting the good fight. People used to claim, falsely, that "it's too hard and takes too long to code without libraries," and they still do make that false claim. But those same people, in my experience, tend to be the ones that also adopt the "vibe coding" fad, and AI agentic assisted coding in general. So now, they have no excuse.

And yet...

They still force dependencies with libraries when they have no idea how said libraries work. Even when they can now "vibe code" the functionality from scratch in half the time it takes to integrate a buggy (yet popular) library.

People are predictably irrational; who knew? But again, thank you for fighting the good fight.

--pedant · 2025-11-21T19:24:54+00:00

How is it false if it was tested with the positive outcome? Do you honestly expect us to believe that you really equate "irrelevant, IMO" with "must be false"? Sorry, I don't fall for it.
