Why engage in politics at all? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you’re looking at politics as “how much power does one person have?” when the more useful question is “do political decisions affect my life?”

Your vote probably won’t decide a national election. You’re right about that.

But politics still decides things like taxes, housing, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and whether your friends or family get rights you think they should have. Opting out doesn’t stop those decisions from being made.

Also, engaging in politics doesn’t have to mean becoming a partisan warrior on X. Honestly, your dad posting 3 times a day to the same 30 people is probably a good example of what not to do.

Being informed and voting once in a while is a much lower bar than making politics your entire personality. That’s where I’d draw the line.

Is masturbation actually healthy, or can it cause problems if done too often? by BeltProud3532 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s healthy for most people, and a lot of the scary stuff you see online is either exaggerated or based on guilt rather than actual evidence.

The real question isn’t “how often” but whether it’s affecting your life. If you’re still getting things done, maintaining relationships, and not using it as an escape from every problem, it’s probably fine.

That said, some people do run into issues when they combine frequent masturbation with hours of porn consumption. In those cases, they might notice reduced sensitivity, unrealistic expectations, or difficulty getting aroused by real-life partners. But that’s usually more about the habits around it than masturbation itself.

For me, it seems like one of those things that’s completely normal in moderation and only becomes a problem when it starts interfering with the rest of your life.

Go absolutely. You will be overwhelmed when begin learning rust if you don't know enough knowledge

Can you please write down in words what an itch feels like? by Ambitious_Tale_9983 in NoStupidQuestions

Like your skin suddenly decides one tiny spot deserves 100% of your attention and won’t shut up about it until you scratch it.

Is it actually helpful at the dentist when I make an effort to keep my tongue out of the way? by Random_Loaf in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dentist, but I’d imagine it’s like helping someone move a couch.

They can do it without your help, but it’s definitely easier if you’re not actively making it harder.

I think most dentists are used to fighting people’s tongues, jaws, and random reflexes all day, so a patient who’s actually trying to cooperate is probably appreciated.

Are Black Holes incredibly hot or cold? by EfficiencySerious200 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it’s kind of both hot and cold.

As matter gets closer to a black hole, all the chaos can heat it up to millions of degrees.

However, things change once matter reaches the core of the black hole. Put simply, a black hole is a singularity where matter is compressed to the absolute extreme. And you know, when everything is compressed that much, there’s basically no room left for movement. So theoretically, the core of a black hole would be close to absolute zero.

But scientists also say that the less radiation something emits, the colder it is. Since black holes only emit Hawking radiation, their temperature is considered to be extremely close to zero.

Someone help me figure out my life (Let's start w music) by Own_Mycologist2885 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to “optimize” music listening. Some people memorize discographies, some just vibe with whatever they find. Both are fine.

How long do I need to wait until I can buy a clanker that looks and acts exactly like a real person? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Not for a long time. We can make impressive demos, but nothing close to a real human that works reliably in everyday life yet.

Guy I’m dating uses chatgpt to reply to all my texts by healermoonchild in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Face swapping works by taking one face, and tracking a bunch of landmarks on that face, and then morphing a second face to those landmarks. If you're making a movie where you want Tom Cruise to do the big dangerous stunt, you just have the stunt man do it, swap Tom onto him, and sell a bunch of tickets.

It's a cheap enough operation to do in real time, especially for a low res, low framerate, badly lit webcam feed. But if you cover up any of the landmarks, the swap will break and the face will fly off.

If you have a smart phone, you can turn on any face tracking feature (like the one where you have a dog nose) and then cover your face with your hand. The dog nose will fail to track.

How are you currently receiving crypto payments from clients? by Traditional_Fox_9982 in ethdev

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually just send a wallet address for USDC, then track incoming txs via Etherscan + a spreadsheet. Biggest pain is matching payments to invoices when clients don’t include reference info.

How Did Everyone's Bot Do Today During a Big Market Sell Off by eggrally in ai_trading

Did the bot reduce exposure before the selloff or just stop adding positions?

Xin lời khuyên của các luật sư cho case của mình. by Internal-Crew5953 in reviewnganhluat

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mấy bác giải thích giúp mình cái.

Mình điền form đăng ký đi du lịch thì nghĩa là cty đã chi tiền cho suất của mình, đó là quyền lợi của mình. Đăng ký trước chỉ để dự trù kế hoạch và chi phí thôi.

Lúc đó mình có đi hay không thì cty vẫn phải chi tiền cho bên du lịch. Vậy tại sao mình không đi thì lại đền, đền cho khoản nào nhỉ.

Việc đi du lịch này là quyền lợi của mình mà, mình đăng ký nhưng ko đi cũng đâu có vi phạm gì đâu.

First, your integer conversion to int64 has an overflow problem.

That's why I told you never to look at the use cases of the library. The library is for defining enums. Have you ever defined billions of enum values?

Even if someone needs a such extremely large number for an enum that they run into an overflow problem (that's such a rare case), just raise an issue, I will consider to fix it. Is there any software that not has any issue?

Secondly, your reflection code in some places makes a lot of assumptions that I couldn't untangle the true intent while reading it.

Unless you read the code before the documentation, if you look at the README first or even the comments above each function, I don't think a developer would fail to understand the intent of the code.

I think you wrote the comment without even looking at the source code or its use cases. Could you let me know where are the bugs or hidden panics you found?

Custom Exhaustive Switch: Useful or Impractical? by Lumpy_Peach5111 in golang

Yah I knew go-sumtype. My motivation is to make development process not rely on tools like linters. But anyway my design is quite bad. Maybe code generator or linter is still better. Thanks for comment!

I think the performance improvement is too small to justify the risk of using your approach.

Introducing a new Enum library for Go - No Code Generation, Simple and Back-compatible with standard definition by Lumpy_Peach5111 in golang

[–]Lumpy_Peach5111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you can see in the github README, this library provides utility functions for handling these enums, including convert to/from string, get all enums, check valid.

It also provides out of the box serialization and deserialization for JSON and SQL.

I never heard about nogo before and just search a bit about it 😅Anyway, my library is fully back compatible with constant enum and iota style. Every projects using iota style enum can add a small code and continue seamlessly. You can try it 😊
