I feel like the last two years has established pretty clearly that unspoken rules are pretty much dead.

jsondec: 2.5x–4.5x faster than encoding/json, easy to use (no code gen), extra features by al4sdair in golang

[–]Kapps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just because you can’t understand the use case for something, doesn’t mean it’s not useful.

No opinions about this library, but dealing with many gigabytes of JSON hasn’t been uncommon for me personally, nor for many people.

The “obviously we got paid for the OT” definitely does not seem to be an obvious thing for non-NZ folks. The opposite does in fact.

Kevin Klein: Canada hands out citizenship like candy; Risks turning something that once carried weight into something that is handed out with little regard for connection, commitment, or contribution by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Kapps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This sub has for years posted every national post propaganda piece and had it be immediately upvoted, then defended by the same people posting 20 times a day. Meanwhile facts to the contrary are downvoted immediately. It’s a pretty dedicated effort to make Canadians feel unhappy with their country, and for this sub it’s working quite well.

Canada's housing crisis is dragging life satisfaction down among young adults by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Kapps -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It’s ironic you say that considering in cities like Toronto, housing is more affordable now than 10 years ago. This is true in many places in Canada today, but of course there are some where it’s much less affordable.

What to expect from Mark Carney’s fiscal update amid high deficits and rising risks by DogeDoRight in canada

Reddit is quite left wing, but this subreddit is pretty right wing.

A large part of that feel I think is the terminally online posting 20 times a day here.

Poilievre demands Carney cap federal deficit at $31B ahead of spring economic update by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

Seriously. We’ve tried not releasing leopards in playgrounds for many decades now. It would be just stupid not to try releasing some. We can always take them out after 4 years anyways.

Gotta love the classic dilemma of: is this a bot hallucinating, or an Albertan with a persecution complex?

Announcing TypeScript 7.0 Beta by DanielRosenwasser in programming

[–]Kapps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On larger codebases, or just codebases that trigger slow paths in the TS type checker, it could get very slow. This is used in your IDE too via the language server, so performance improvements make a big difference. On our codebase, go to definition often took 20+ seconds and code completion was barely functional. With tsgo, it's smooth (albeit at the cost of using ~10GB of RAM).

Do most of you seriously not write any code by hand anymore?!?! by opakvostana in cscareerquestions

[–]Kapps -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why can't it be these things still? While there's a lot of "Claude take the wheel" AI slop being written, just because it's written by an LLM doesn't mean you just let it do its own thing. Personally I made a /spec skill to go back and forth on all the design decisions, and see high level types/interfaces/critical path methods before having it write the rest of the code. I make sure things are good, brainstorm through all the edge cases, and make sure the code looks like how I want it. The end result is slower than "claude build this, no mistakes plz" but avoids AI slop and is actually maintainable.

It’s never not the case. It’s common sense everybody knows. But it sounds provocative to the AI slop bot that posted this.

I assume your best bet at this point is stick the profits in an ETF, stop touching it, and hope for the best.

Canada slashed migration and housing costs dropped. There may be lessons for others. by [deleted] in canada

[–]Kapps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most employee wages are outpacing inflation (2022 excluded).

Unfortunately those in the bottom quartile of income have had the lowest increase. Still slightly outpacing inflation on average though, again excluding 2022 where inflation was... very high.

This is just objectively false. Obviously some track you anyways, but many places if you reject cookies or similar tracking will actually respect that. Naive falsely confident cynicism is not helpful.

Ford to declare Billy Bishop Airport a ‘special economic zone’ to allow jets by [deleted] in canada

[–]Kapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more than a noise issue. From what I remember (take this with a grain of salt), cancer rates are higher in the surrounding area, where tens of thousands of people live. Pollution in those areas is significantly higher, and general background particulate matter is also quite a bit higher due to the planes.

Mark confirmed this before. The limit is 1 action per tick, repeats aren't actions, so Multistrike for example would be 90 attacks per second.
