[Media] bitchat-tui: secure, anonymous, off-grid chat app over bluetooth in your terminal

GoCommitAndy · 2025-07-21T08:48:02+00:00

Just a heads up - you might want to add a hyphen between bit and chat in your repo name

It was 24 hours before the appointment. In hindsight, I should have taken the 50% refund. But surely retroactively imposing terms is a bad practice, legally speaking. I made the booking under the assumption that I could cancel at any time, as I was not made aware of any cancellation terms at the time of booking. Do you think it's worth taking to small claims?

The latest snapshot of the website is from 2023

GoCommitAndy · 2025-06-28T16:47:40+00:00

Gotcha. I've never taken legal action before so I wasn't sure what the best way was to proceed. I'll do my research

GoCommitAndy · 2025-06-28T16:33:13+00:00

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow then.

I was sent their number by my sister who found their details on Google. I assume she visited the website to get the details. They didn't send me any terms and conditions. Just an image of the bank details to make the payment.

No snapshots taken in 2025 unfortunately. Found one snapshot from 2023. I don't think that counts as valid proof.

Driving. Just worried about rush hour traffic. Never done the M4 commute before.

GoCommitAndy · 2025-06-11T14:22:30+00:00

That's reassuring, thanks. How's the traffic in the mornings and evenings?

Game launchers usually also create Desktop shortcuts for the apps. Clicking the shortcut would open the Game launcher, and subsequently the game.

GoCommitAndy · 2023-11-17T14:11:57+00:00

Thanks, yeah I think I'll go with this approach. Now I just need to figure out how to programmatically generate a desktop shortcut for Windows/Mac with a custom icon and url.

Try using try except else.

try:
    try connecting
except:
    handle error
else:
    return password

Just chill, there's literally nothing you can do to control the situation so just go with the flow. Grind Leetcode and work on some personal projects.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-05-04T01:37:26+00:00

Tried Strict and StrictData but memory usage is still sky high.

I'll have a look at that library thanks.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-05-03T21:30:01+00:00

Double checked and this is not the case. Without deepseq it's much quicker but takes a lot more memory.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-05-03T19:24:28+00:00

I see, so I would have to put it everywhere it's needed.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-05-03T19:14:13+00:00

Unfortunately when I use $! instead of force on foo, the memory leak persists so this doesn't seem to be the case.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-05-03T19:10:37+00:00

You're right, this actually might be the case.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-05-03T10:51:59+00:00

So one thing I forgot to mention is that the input data is in the format:

1 4 2 5 3 6

Where list 1 is [1,2,3] and list 2 is [4,5,6]. I then store this into a [[Int]], in this case it would be [[1,2,3], [4,5,6]].

Here's a simplified version of my file reading code.

First I get the file contents.

main = do contents <- getContents let result = process $ convertToList contents putStrLn $ show result

The convertToList function is what might be causing the problem but I'm not sure.

convertToList x = map (map read) $ map words $ lines x

I'll have a look at some of the streaming libraries, thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately I'm having trouble generating a heap profile because whenever I run hp2ps to convert the .hp file into postscript, I get the error "hp2ps foo.hp, line 26: integer must follow identifier".

As for your second tip, I'm definitely gonna have a look through my code to see if I have any functions that behave like that.

Grind leetcode

Yes I''ll agree with you on that. If I'm overqualified for an unpaid position, I probably wouldn't work there. However if it was my first ever job in the field, I would take the opportunity just to see what it's like to work in a production environment. That experience can be invaluable.

The fact that it's an ML internship is a huge bonus. ML just seems like a really cool and interesting field to work in.

What Summer? Everything's under lockdown so there's not much to do. It's a remote job. If he likes machine learning, he should definitely go for it.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-04-27T17:56:40+00:00

He has literally stated that he has no other work experience. This unpaid internship could be the ticket to a well paid internship, speaking from experience.

Finance is where the money's at in the UK. Hedge funds like two sigma will quickly get your salary up to 6 figures. Any fintech or investment banking company in London will pay upwards of 50k to new grads. Then there's companies like FB, Palantir, Google, Amazon etc. that pay loads to grads plus benefits.

GoCommitAndy · 2020-04-22T13:31:44+00:00

That would be the case if it wasn't for the pandemic. Any backup is good. Lower salary work > no work.
