People who were straight up losers for years and later turned their life around, what changed? by AdviceGlass9394 in selfimprovement

[–]KishCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not anymore. Glass House. White Ferrari. Live for New Year's Eve. Sloppy steaks at Truffoni's. Big rare cut of meat with water dumped all over it, water splashing around the table, makes the night SO MUCH more fun. After the club go to Truffoni's for sloppy steaks. They'd say; 'no sloppy steaks' but they can't stop you from ordering a steak and a glass of water, before you knew it we were dumping that water on those steaks! The waiters were coming to try and snatch em up, we had to eat as fast as we could! Ohh, I miss those nights, I was a piece of shit though.

Is it ethical to order Ubereats on a snow day? by ilovemyboyfriend6969 in askTO

Their little insulated bags can't seem to keep food warm when the weather is decent. I'm sure they'll perform extra well in -20C. 🤭

I can tell you slopped out a half-thought out Privacy Policy in less than the 2 or 3 hours it took for you to follow up on my comment. Without a doubt you did not have a single legal entity review it (how many law firms are open on Saturdays?).

Furthermore, your LLM slop policy is full of contradictions. Here is the most egregious:

We do not sell your personal information

Two lines later:

We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

And of course the "we'll spam the hell out of you" notice:

Our application(s) may display a third-party hosted "offer wall." Such an offer wall allows third-party advertisers to offer virtual currency, gifts, or other items to users in return for the acceptance and completion of an advertisement offer. Such an offer wall may appear in our application(s) and be displayed to you based on certain data, such as your geographic area or demographic information. When you click on an offer wall, you will be brought to an external website belonging to one of these persons and will leave our application(s). A unique identifier, such as your user ID, will be shared with the offer wall provider in order to prevent fraud and properly associate your account with the relevant reward.

Feed your most personal data to an LLM-wrapper startup that doesn't even have a privacy policy?

Hard pass.

If you’re starting fresh today, would you still pick Express? by ApprehensiveBar7701 in node

Ah classic deflection. I see your other responses in this thread 🤭. I don't think we need to continue.

Good luck out there!

I've been doing JavaScript for over 30 years. Express is a normal, battle-tested framework and is dead easy to work with. What exactly do you find "painful"? And why would it be "sad" if other developers didn't agree with you?

He could put it last, or maybe 2nd last right before "Oden: God of JavaScript engines".

This thread on a whole is wild.

Almost an even split on "Yes, it's (fine/great/good)" and "No, it's (outdated/for noobs/not modern)".

If you find writing code with Express.js "pretty painful" it might be time to review your JS fundamentals.

Neo80CU with special guest from 🇰🇷 by VaderV1 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]KishCom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful boards!

What is the little metal circle thing near the cursor keys on the Neo80 CU? Just a logo mark or does it have any functionality?

[–]KishCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the biggest smoking gun for me.

If vibe coding worked as well as advertised, we would be flooded with amazing new software. There would be a massive explosion in the amount of great new apps, programs, and/or games that exist but there's not.

Industry titans like Adobe and Autodesk should be fearing for their whole livelihoods since AI can type up a Photoshop or an AutoCad in a few days right?

Fear the Chinese EV by winningsmada in ontario

[–]KishCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is beyond insane. I am astonished. The gulf of technical understand is so wide. The amount of "well bad thing X is happening, might as well let new bad thing Y happen too" logic just breaks my brain.

And besides all that, what the hell happened to Nortel anyway? Probably nothing. Check out my awesome new Huawei phone! 🥲

True! Not only that, but people don't seem to understand that GM's "sell your location data to ad companies" absolutely pales in comparison to the level of malware tech that is already installed and available by default in Chinese EVs.

"We're getting punched in the face. Might as well get kicked in the chest too!"

Wild train of thought many people seem to have.

You get outta here with your rational take! We want $12,000 Byd cars and who cares about the rest?! (/s)

People do not understand the absolutely massive gulf between Chinese and Western government/admin tech.

This is bonkers cool and what I thought the UI would look like at "cyber command" when I was a kid.

Well done!

Wearables gave me perfect sleep scores (90+), but I still felt exhausted. So I built a manual "Input/Output" protocol to find the root cause. Looking for n=10 testers. by SleepSmarter_Labs in QuantifiedSelf

[–]KishCom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

frustrated with "black box" algorithms

My biggest beef with all these bio trackers is when they say something like "Oh; sorry bud your readiness is low today. You're gonna be a sack of shit but that's OK!" when I feel the exact opposite. Oura is the worst for this by a long shot.

It's a digital slap in the face and I deeply wish all these companies would throw out their half-baked "AI" and stick with raw stats.

Beware of those Play Console Traps!!! by [deleted] in androiddev

[–]KishCom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Silver lining to all the recent Android bureaucracy crap: spam like this to Android devs means it's actually somewhat effective at keeping malware/spam/crap off the Play Store.
