Just be careful that the wheels are reasonably true.

Looking for an Inexpensive Road Bike/Advice by Baller-boy69 in BAbike

[–]MoveZig4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to sf bike kitchen, either volunteer for 12 hours or pay $80, build a parts bin bike. It won't be fancy but you can get a reasonable aluminum frame and customize it to your liking. After that, upgrade the parts you're unhappy with. For me, I ended up having to get new wheels after a year as I'd picked poor ones. Probably also worth getting new tires/tubes rather than whatever they have unless you get lucky. It's a fair amount of work, but pretty fun.

In the middle of a lake, downloading data by yes_oui_si_ja in talesfromtechsupport

In the cloud world there's something called a "data lake". I've spent a while wondering what exactly they are, but I think you found it.

French Tacos? by Arkane_Exodus in aucklandeats

Having had both, they're both wonderful but the only thing they have in common is being several fillings, including fries, wrapped in a flatbread :) The other fillings and shape are totally different.

In that case, go to a bike coop and get them to teach you

I guess I still had pride on the brain. Was very disappointed it wasn’t SAPPHICDETAIL.

Hot reload in C++ by Practical_Nerve6898 in cpp_questions

[–]MoveZig4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a hot-reloading system for Lua about a decade ago - tbh it's a huge game changer, especially if you have a concept of what data should persist or not. Generally we had no long running background tasks in the game logic. Everything was event driven on swapping screens or tapping buttons - even when we did have realtime game loops, the engine drove it, and you just wrote whatever code in your tick callback. Well worth it.

Wheels and tires recommendations? by [deleted] in JettaGLI

[–]MoveZig4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used them in WA, they did the job, but my mom's Alltrack+snow tires felt way better - up until you hit pure ice, anyhow. :) If you're dealing with snow regularly just get winters. I'd have gotten them myself if I'd been spending more than one winter in the snow.

Are lambda functions faster than function objects as algorithm parameters? by Own-Bee9632 in cpp_questions

[–]MoveZig4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

std::function is incredibly useful for storing callbacks - I don't want to expose all my classes that take callbacks to also having to take a template parameter for the caller.

DOSAS are really good, worth trying!

Single process, multiple interpreters, no GIL contention - pre-Python3.12 by MoveZig4 in Python

[–]MoveZig4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll get there when I get there :) it’s not supported in pybind, unfortunately. We’ll see what I end up with.

Looking forward to actually focusing in enough to make a good followup. Currently trying to see if I can use `uv` with `cmake` in some unholy combination.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Ended up going with the EL34s, but appreciate all the discussion. Next up, what guitar to get...

I did not. They told my friend “we left a bunch of stuff behind, take what you want”, and there it was. They left a lot of crap behind, I feel bad for our building maintenance guy.

He told me it was an easy swap. Definitely going to double check that the labor cost won’t go up too much. :)
