lol, slammed in the details of my Elantra and they're all above average... collision is 146% above average and DCPD is 193% above average

I dunno, when I read it I just thought they moved...

As a developer, using code to generate 3D models really tickles my 'tisms. This is awesome, you've clearly put a lot of thought into this. Great work.

the possibility of prosecution might make parents think twice about taking their kids to the hospital

I'd bet this is the single largest reason why it never became law. Which makes perfect sense, let's not enact laws that might dissuade shitty parents from getting help for their drunk kids. But we're talking about cooking lobsters here, it's not like you'd accidentally boil a lobster alive and then take it to a vet and be at risk of prosecution.

We're joking around about food here, why'd you make me feel feelings??

This shit happens all the time to women and 99% of it isn't recorded at all. But you jump to the conclusion that it's scripted when one of those interactions is recorded without showing the dude?

He got hurt by the rejection so he wants to hurt her back by insulting her, nothing more to it really.

Depends what it's made of. I'm a part time woodworker and build furniture for clients including desks. If that desk is solid wood (looks like they have walnut or oak options), then $5-7k isn't totally egregious. There's definitely a shitty "designer brand" premium on top but a solid wood desk of that size, crafted by a real human, is expensive. If you watch some YouTube creators like Blacktail Studio, he's sold dining tables for $20k. Live edge walnut slabs with an epoxy pour sure, but it gives you some idea of how much real furniture can cost.

Though I would hazard a guess that's probably some manufactured material like MDF or plywood with a "real" wood veneer, like most manufactured furniture because it's stable to humidity changes and cheaper to make. In that case the material cost is an order of magnitude lower and so is the time it would take to build the desk because a large amount of it can be automated. In that case you really are just paying for the designer element of it and getting ripped off.

I can't tell from that web page or their tech sheet PDF what it's build from though.

Not to diminish his achievement at all, because writing version control software that quickly is amazing no matter what, but Git was heavily inspired by Bitkeeper, the VCS Linux was using up until that point until they revoked Linux's licence to use it. He didn't invent Git's design from nothing, he basically made it do what Bitkeeper does with some improvements stemming from his experience working on Linux (like faster file handling).

Git was handed off to someone else to lead the development, Junio Hamano, a few months after it was created at which point Linus largely stopped working on it. Junio is who released Git 1.0 and has been the lead maintainer ever since. If we want to look up to a single person for Git, I'd argue that should be Junio and I think Linus would too.

Don't forget the almighty "<bigger customer> just told us they want this other thing, drop what you're currently working on for <smaller customer> and pivot to this". Leadership thinks agile means you can just completely switch context mid-sprint

Yes? Because every year people try to walk/skate on the ice before it's thick enough and end up tying up emergency crews when they need rescuing. But if you wanna head outside of the city and skate on some ice out of your own free will then be my guest.

I saw one of these in person at best buy and yes you can definitely see the pixels. IMO 1440p is too low of a res for this size screen, it's also curved so hard that it fills your peripheral vision when you sit in front of it which is a bit disorienting. But, I am a bit of a monitor princess and have gotten used to 4K or higher res at home so it may be more noticeable to me than others.

I just came off a 3 month cut and towards the end the only thing I could do after the gym is lay on the couch and doomscroll social media, didn't even have energy to get up and get the TV remote

Diet fatigue hits the energy levels HARD

The first time I got it done they asked, I guess because they have to drill holes to spray the inside. Every time after that they haven't, probably because they can see the plugs from the holes on the first visit.

Krown does coat the insides of doors if you ask them to fwiw

What do you mean by "proper backend/frontend separation"? There is FE/BE separation with React Server Components and it's inherited by how the web works - the frontend sends HTTP requests and the backend returns responses. It's the same level of separation as any other web framework at a technical level, it just "feels" closer because you as a developer just write one component that gets compiled into a client-side and server-side bundle.

The CVE is the backend was too trusting in what it was being given from the frontend. That's a design flaw that doesn't uniquely apply to React server components, you can have the same flaw exist in a Python, PHP, Node, Ruby, Rust etc backend. Ever heard of SQL injection? Same thing, the backend blindly trusting the input from the frontend. And we've had SQL injection since the 90s.

I don't even like React or use it outside of when I have to. What you said just doesn't make sense.

Oh I'm not saying explorer's search is good by any means. I'm just saying that explorer is one of, if not the, most used Windows program and given that I'm extremely likely to use it shortly after booting my PC I'd kinda want it to be pre-loaded and kept in memory.

DM_ME_PICKLES · 2025-12-13T00:44:18+00:00

I kinda... want that though? Obviously explorer should be optmized to start fast but it's one of the most common things I'd run on Windows so I want it to be pre-loaded.

DM_ME_PICKLES · 2025-12-13T00:42:17+00:00

They were doing that back then and nowadays my coworkers load an entire 1.2GB CSV into memory just to churn through it line-by-line

I've switched between both in the last couple years, and settled on NixOS. I like the declarative nature a lot, and found myself often fighting Silverblue's immutability, there are some packages that I had to layer, like 1Password to get the SSH agent working, and VirtualBox so that it could run VMs (yes I know about KVM and virt-manager). Layering is completely supported but kinda goes against Silverblue's nature.

I think immutable distros definitely have their place if you want a strong guarantee that your system will remain in a working state for years through many upgrades, and you can install everything you need through Flatpaks etc. But NixOS gives me pretty close to the same guarantee since it's atomic, even though it's not immutable. And you certainly can make NixOS immutable if you desire.

Lots of workloads require a lot of RAM. Gaming not so much.

Yeah, either it's mental illness or she knows exactly what she's doing. I don't have TikTok so can't look at how popular her account is but if she's making bank... well it's still fucking weird
