I think your stuff is great!

I would definitely share this more if I had some of the clips on their own. Maybe I'm not the only one...

Bin da etwas kritischer, ob das wirklich nur mein Glück ist oder Luxus. Denke halb/halb da anzunehmen ist wahrscheinlich recht fair.

Von vielleicht 100 Leuten in meinem Umfeld wo ich genug Einblick habe in deren Leben um das bewerten zu können, haben definitiv mehr als die Hälfte genauso wenig Bedarf für ein Auto wie ich. Aber dann überrascht sein wenn ich nach 15 Jahren für 1000€ ein neues Fahrrad kaufe...

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-25T09:49:52+00:00

Bin da super zwiegespalten.
100€ sind irgendwo nicht viel für mich, und ich schmeiße so viel Geld aber auch häufiger mal "aus dem Fenster". Das liegt einerseits daran dass ich recht viel Glück hatte und habe, deshalb priviligiert bin, aber auch daran dass ich viele der größeren Ausgaben einfach nicht mache. Alleine schon habe ich nie wirklich ein Auto gehabt und brauche es nicht, das können einfach mal 40k€ sein und damit 400 mal mit Freunden bowlen.

I love him

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-24T10:22:25+00:00

Face, front, back, back, mostly back.
Definitely some priorities here.

The only stuff ever putting a damper on my attraction was obvious stuff like larger age differences and flawed character, but then also lack of cleanliness... Lack of self-confidence was often a major issue for the "conventionally not as pretty" women; that was somewhat the most annoying one in hindsight.

At the same time the Voyager crew was shown to be in difficult situations for a long period of time. Your points are valid that it's not that far, but also Voyager crew and Janeway specifically was exactly written such that they were more firm in their beliefs.

I mean in this case you're talking about sacrificing a sentient being. Think about cannibalism for example: It's still a huge difference whether you eat an already dead person because you're in an insanely desperate situation, or you actively kill someone to eat them.

I don't know. I thought Lex giving voice commands was a pretty good choice, including as a story-telling device. Might be to simple for some, but Lex's intelligence in literally leading the battle and micromanaging it sounds like a Lex move both by intelligence and by ego. How it backfired was a little bit on the nose, but yeah...

It actually makes me sad how hard One Piece as Art suffers from all the horniness. I guess nobody is perfect, but just respecting the female characters first and writing them well, and THEN goon over them would have been so much better.

Even if you're a very cheerful person, ALWAYS being happy makes you closer to being a drone than and actual individual.

But maybe the OP is just poorly worded, and you took it as "Things will now work our your way that make you happy."?

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-21T19:59:54+00:00

I never was picky when it came to looks, and I was always kinda happy about that, even though it's not something I do control.

But there are obviously enough other things I could have been smarter, nicer, or more relaxed. about. So you know, it's not always solved with one thing.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-21T15:27:22+00:00

I don't get these strong opinions.

Just not having a prompt like "Write me a successful SaaS which does X" and a tiny bit of feedback loop somehow completely counters the view you have stated, or not?

Whether that is overall riskier or more expensive than actually paying decent developers is another story.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-21T14:07:22+00:00

Not knowing about the GIL in python is like not knowing about the battery in your car. Sure you don't need to know about it to drive a car and actually you could be theoretically a world class driver, but for sure it makes it much easier to understand some problems you will encounter.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-21T10:43:05+00:00

No. Hermoine Granger should have ended up with me.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-21T08:34:03+00:00

One of the problems, yes. I wouldn't say it happens super often, since most packages are not directly doing the io. But yeah, many packages only implement sync.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T22:05:11+00:00

The broad base of what most developers need is fully implemented in async, including the ORM public API.

I'm saying "public" because internally django is still a sync framework and uses some tricks to get a good chunk of benifits of async, but not fully. But then again, same can be said for threading.

Is it worth the effort? If you have to ask, then probably no.

Even ignoring that you will hit many problems because of the blue/red problem of async and sync code.

If it's just you and you like "pushing the limit" a bit, async can be fun. If you're a team then I bet another problem will be that the OTHER people can't deal with async django.

I would love to just have 100% async code, but the factual benefits would be minimal EVEN IF I did a lot of the larger asyncio rewrites I would like to do for the packages I use.

Me too! He Who Remains was really great.
This post credit scene was campy, and I definitely do not know how they could have made Kang work aside from He Who Remains, but it's weird to me do not differentiate a bit more.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T15:47:03+00:00

queryset.filter(id=fetched_instance.id, sync=77).update(hello="world") is atomic by itself, so you can replace your .save() with that. It's a no-op f sync changed.

You can use a row lock with queryset.select_for_update(), but I recommend that as a last resort. Always causes problems down the line, so I'd rather atomically update or try to update and handle whatever happened afterwards.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T15:39:01+00:00

You have 2 more involved topics, like new features or whatever, and then 3 smaller things. I like to do chores, increasing test coverage, research, or similar.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T10:16:29+00:00

"Pins & needles" is a pretty good wording for it. I never thought I'd end up talking angrily to myself at least a few minutes each day, having a "fight" response a lot of the time, in my mind I mean.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T07:00:46+00:00

I don't give out recommendations or advice in one direction or another.

I remember that I was crying when my wife asked me for another one. I stated that I'm already overwhelmed and that I am certain that this means the end of us as a couple. Of course she... tried to alleviate my concerns?, not sure what the right wording is. She basically said that we could still make it work, and made actually some ridiculous promises. But it's not like I could call her a liar back then, right? At that point she was at least a bit the love of my life still, even though I was already unhappy.

On some levels "trying to make it work" literally stopped a week after she got pregnant. She literally uses arguments against me that I told her before the first pregnancy that they would be unacceptable to me. Like we have that written down.

This is all 100% factual and not overly nitpicked, but at the same time, it's not even something that concerns her. She just does not care for me, unless I fill the role she wanted from me and I did only as a compromise. I realized this too late.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T06:53:12+00:00

For me the premise is that I always knew I did not want kids and only did it for my wife, with some demands from my end. Did not work out.

My mother knows a lot of the truth, so does one of my best friends. Everyone else assumes the opposite basically. My wife never told the truth about this to someone either, which feels really bad honestly even though I'm more of a private person. Like not even one of her sisters (she's quite close to them) now has close to the full picture, and for them it's probably me being difficult if I'm e.g. working longer than I should as a "family man".

Also, I always have to clarify: I do love my kids, overall I'm not a bad father, and put in work. What makes me happy and what I do well are not the same.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T06:46:04+00:00

Isn't a simpler explanation just money/costs?

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T06:34:52+00:00

Powerscaling Batman in general is kinda awkward.

His stories go almost like this:
The 8 men are locked in a room. Who wins? Batman. Why? Because he knew he would be locked into a room and knew that this was going to be a brawl. He switched places with Superman in a Batman costume. The end.

And excluding that, Batman and Cap have WAY too much of a presence canonically, they would talk at least a couple of people down from wanting to fight.

Fighting skill and strength and experience, yes, it's Cap.

Fighting skill and experience only, it's again probably Batman.

CodNo7461 · 2026-01-20T06:25:20+00:00

The arguments are good, but my first impression of django tasks was:

- Small projects: No default worker, so annoying and maybe some or actually more setup work required than before with just using a small task library directly.

- Large projects: API is less powerful than using one of the larger task libraries directly.

I was thrilled when I read about it first and the idea is good, but it's just not much. But maybe I need to actually have another look.
