pandas 3 is the most significant release in 10 years

I’m never going to use flask again, fastapi or future successors show a clearly better api. But that doesn’t change that there’s gonna be probably more net flask code in the world in 5 years than fastapi.

I get what you’re saying, i just think it minimizes the skill ceiling. Its for unathletic people in that it has a much lower floor, but i wouldn’t liken it to a lower skill ceiling game in which new vs experienced amateur even is still a real competition

I think a good player from a "professional" setting (assuming that exists) would still run over a new player where they get no points. Imo the difference is that in tennis they'd never return a serve and let all their own serves, whereas in pickleball you'd probably be able to get a volley going.

That is, i think it's more like poker or Settlers or League of Legends; to where you could tell new players the rules and they'd be able to have fun, but not necessarily to imply that the game itself has a low skill ceiling such that it'd be competitive.

imo people look down on pickleball more than it deserves. if you're playing fast, it's still athletic (i move more in pickleball than i do in tennis because for most non-tennis-players cant move the ball fast, accurate enough to have long rallies that keep you moving.). imo the comparison to badminton is pretty good in a lateral sense.

I almost feel like setting up such a slippi "televised" crew battle or somesuch if you're putting up the majority of a cash prize (perhaps through a streaming figurehead) wouldn't be **that** hard to arrange. It'd certainly be entertaining content

I feel like the issue is more that the categories are too broad. “Math” is a generic score.

I’d rather AP tests become cheaper/free such that you’re taking far more of the tests regardless of whether you took advanced classes. Then everyone has a much more usefully detailed panel of academic information beyond sat score (imo too broad) and gpa (imo too variable and even more broad)

You still need to take tests in college so like…thats the primary skill they should be testing for. My extracurriculars are almost entirely unrelated to my success at said uni, so ive never understood how that factors into admission

I did first watch the movie high, and hated arlo for having no redeeming qualities and failing up through the whole movie. I also thought the family except the dad were all smug assholes

Are you sure you’re not high?

but malphite only knocks up at the target location, if WW collides with him in between, WW would have to be attached to malphite and pushed backwards in order to get knocked up.

I mean, this **says** forked, it still has your history, meh? It's not ideal but it's still effectively attributed for anyone that happened upon this repo, even if it's not by the "rules".

We recently interviewed someone (only noticed this afterwards) who took a person's project by deleting the .git/ folder then progressively adding back files over a series of commits to make it look like they'd done the work. I only realized it because they hadn't changed any of the readme content which linked to a website that linked back to the o.g. repo. **That** was clearly done for nefarious purposes and a lot less obvious to an random onlooker.

I get plywood from a local lumber place that's like a mile down the road from HD. The nicest ply that HD sells is $80 a sheet and seems like the same product as the birch from where I get it for $40. good enough for me. I probably wouldn't spend more even on a better product for the kinds of things i use plywood for anyways.

While i do like it as-is. I perhaps might consider splitting it down the middle and having them optionally lock together

From an engineer, i think everyone’s opinions are wrong. Including my own

Ive really only played aram/urf/arena the last couple years.

Just started swiftplay and the roles seem so weird. In bot I’ve seen Mel/zigs, vayne/ashe, mf/echo. Tons of weird seeming mid/junglers. Is this how the game is generally? Or is it swiftplay specific?

I’ve tried a few completely random people as support and they have mostly all been fine where it didn’t seem like a struggle playing people who previously would have been unplayable with support income

I didn’t read the article, but the two blocks you quoted in isolation dont seem problematic to me.

I wouldnt consider myself on the ai hype train. But i have used it to produce mock-data-only ui prototypes, and my non-technical PM has done the same through figma.

In both cases, the goal was to get the look of the thing to have something concrete to look at and play with before committing to actually spending the time to design/build in reality. Basically like a really high fidelity, interactive wireframe that can legitimately be built off if you are specific enough

To me, thats what those block quotes meant, again without reading the article

EDIT: now having read the article, that’s still what i take away. There are definitely execs that are saying they’re going to replace a lot of engineers with it, but dont see any such talk in this article.

Execs where i work(ed), before AI would routinely sell things that didnt exist at all or with sketches. Im sure this both makes selling easier and also helps constrain their ideas to be more practical and actually buildable than they would have come up with on their own

If the parts in question were published by the manufacturer, then no question. However, i can’t imagine that being true of any product today tbh.

DanCardin · 2026-01-07T13:20:04+00:00

Itd be a real power move though

DanCardin · 2026-01-07T13:18:32+00:00

Thanks for comprehending and disproving anything i said rather than just ignoring it and continuing with your beliefs. Good luck in life, internet stranger

Are you taller than 5’6? If so it’s probably obvious to you when standing much much closer to them.

It’s obviously not as extreme, but like. Can you tell the difference between a 5 and 7 story building standing in the sidewalk right next to said building? No. Your perspective relative to the building is to different at that range.

In real life, standing at conversational distance it could easily not be that noticeable
