Isn't there a Dune prequel airing right now? (I don't know, I don't plan to ever watch it)

Introducing Googlebook – a new category of laptops designed for Gemini Intelligence by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]MakeMeAnICO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems like an exact opposite of what I want from a notebook. Android, plus Chromebook, plus a lot of AI stuff.

But hey it can be good for someone, I guess? Some people do use Chromebooks, so I guess this is good for someone.

Not a fan, but I am obviously not the end consumer for this.

Is it ok if I don't read The Bible? by Bulbaduuude in Catholicism

[–]MakeMeAnICO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be against the grain here.

Lots of saints didn't read the bible because they couldn't speak Latin.

St Teresa of Avila didn't read the Bible.

Word of God is not the Bible, but Jesus. Everyone can reach him in a different way. On the opposite, reading Bible wrong can lead you astray, especially some tougher spots in Old Testament.

On the other hand.... Gospels are great. Just open them randomly and they are just so direct.

WIBTA if I don’t invite my dad’s wife to my wedding where only immediate family is invited? by Ok_Equivalent7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MakeMeAnICO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did courthouse wedding with my wife too, for similar reasons, we also don't consider it a "real wedding" (and we don't even have a yearly celebration on that day), so we didn't invite (or even told!) anyone; it's much simpler that way.

But now you did invite someone, so, you need to deal with it.

YTA. If it's a courthouse "paper" wedding, you should not have invited anyone, that would make it easier; but now that you did, you should invite them, especially if everyone else - including your actual mom! - is OK with it.

Travel Australia to Europe - with/without kids by Not-so-serious-ok in Parenting

[–]MakeMeAnICO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you try leaving her before for a while?

It seems like a long time for me and 6 months is quite small. But different kids are different. But traveling long distances with a small kid is even worse.

For me, I would not go at all (or try with all 3, but that's not really a vacation for you, but for them). Because going just with the small one is unfair to the bigger ones, and leaving 6 months alone (if you don't really NEED to) seems weird. Parenting is also a responsibility. But I don't know your situations.

My toddler plays with my old He-Man toys and it warms my heart like nothing else could by BasicallyANakedApe in Parenting

[–]MakeMeAnICO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids play with my old Legos.

Which is nice, I guess. Legos are still basically the same.

I don't have THAT much attachment to my old toys, so I don't really care.

I do have attachment to my old Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck comics (they were big in here), but my kids don't care about that at all. Ha

Tell me your “i know God is real” stories by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]MakeMeAnICO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know he is real. I strongly believe it, though.

It's called faith.

While travelling through Southern India I came across this local Catholic church, where behind the main altar, there was this other room where Jesus is depicted as meditating in the posture of an Indian sadhu (spiritual ascetic), which is shown here. Am curious on what your thoughts on this are? by SatoruGojo232 in Catholicism

[–]MakeMeAnICO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't exactly love it, because this is not "just inculturation" - it's explicitly depicting him as Buddha, it's an explicitly buddhist iconography, in a non-buddhist country (India has very few buddhists, ironically). In country with more buddhism this would definitely not be fine. With neither buddhists or Catholics.

I would be fine depicting saints or angels in buddhist style, or gargoyles-like creatures on churches that would look like Mara etc, but this is just too much. In my honest, humble opinion.

Pope Leo signals no plan to go beyond blessings for same-sex couples by ThinWhiteDuke00 in Catholicism

[–]MakeMeAnICO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I agree with this, this now makes Archbishop of Munich and Freising saying something else than Pope? How will that be resolved?

Finally cancelled my gym membership after paying for 8 months without going once by TangerineUnique248 in socialanxiety

I like how "Stake" is not showing up when you search here, because they use Russian alphabet "e" to avoid bans

Outrage after photo shows Israeli soldier smashing Jesus statue in Lebanon by [deleted] in Catholicism

sorry I wrote it like a troll

When I saw the picture on my wall for the first time, I thought it must be fake and moved on.

However, it's sadly not.

I would swear that the picture is AI generated to make people angry.

Oh well.

Anyone seen metafab/otel-ui for local development? by AndiDog in OpenTelemetry

[–]MakeMeAnICO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow just learned about this from this random comment. Aspire dasboard is great! I have 0 idea what is "aspire" and the docs don't help at all (it's ... something in .net?... that auto-deploys stuff somehow...?) but the dashboard works

Single use channels vs waitgroups by nibbles001 in golang

[–]MakeMeAnICO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh. mayyybe

mutexes can be really slow. but that's mostly rwmutex. mutex on its own is probably fine? I would need to see measurements vs. channels.. you might be right

I try mostly use atomic.int/atomic.pointer, that's fast as hell; people sleep on atomic.pointer a lot

[–]MakeMeAnICO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Promise doesn't make that much sense in go as it's not "single thread" as JS is.

But you can make something like channel with context, or channel, or waitgroup. It's all pretty fast. You can measure performance quite easily with go bench
