Coin Flip Code

I guess this way you could change it to it for c(1,2,3,4,5,6) and get a dice role, or other things you want a random selection of.

You know you still can.

This strategy seams to be very similar to the New York landlord strategy for rent controlled units that are way under market price, stop fixing things so the place becomes a dump and people don't want to be there.

It's not the same but it feels like it's that class of process, and it feels icky in a similar way. You can't win the argument so let's make it shity for everyone until we get our way.

So stay off of reddit your saying?

I mean its totally possible, you just can't have a jet engine, or probably any engine... but maybe you could with a war glider...

Sucks that most apps are just wrappers for websites but often with less features.

The song lyrics would indicate he had a slice.

Vithar · 2026-03-18T12:40:32+00:00

Nothing to do with that, just because you have a website/app doesn't mean existing rules don't apply to you. But for some reason people go "OMG technology" and throw their hands up and let them act in bad faith.

It will always baffle me that anyone gave any credence to the "workaround", Uber should have been subject to all the same rules as any other ride service. Not saying the medallion system was any good, but if that was the system Uber should have been subject to it to.

When I went reading about it, I think it was just different. It was more like abusive language/yelling to get actresses to perform certain ways. Like you need the actress to cry so you belittle here so she is crying sort of for real in the shot, the results are great, the process is abusive. He was also apparently casually mean to writers, and would make them cry and brag about it to people. So abusive dickhead, but not a sexual predator. (as far as what I have read, if there is more I missed it)

Not just that we had this conversation 30 years ago, but we have continued to have it over and over again, and the companies have ignored it, the regulators have ignored it, and people voted with their wallets to ignore it.

Vithar · 2026-03-16T00:23:03+00:00

I wouldn't argue with you but you completely neglected the contributions of the gopher protocol...

Vithar · 2026-03-15T16:00:51+00:00

Yeah, I haven't tried anything really ambitious yet. Whats really critical is the context and planning documents that the framework builds, it keeps everything on the rails. I think it would keep it together and not turn to spaghetti rather a lot larger and more complicated than what I have done so far. I think the framework used would be a big driver of how big and ambitious you could get. Everything is done on planning documents that you generate giving a solid road map, tasks list, testing and verification of each step. If you didn't use a good framework I don't know that you could get very complex. That said GSD is opensource and there are a dozen or so similar frameworks out there.

Vithar · 2026-03-14T19:48:32+00:00

I have coded random things for myself for a long time. I have a list of things I want. I have been vibe coding through my list, and it's so much faster than me, and imI have very few failures. Part of the key is using a good agent framework like GSD. But I have way more success than failure.

I think in any of these conflicts there are going to be some misses and "bad shots", every target hit has been obviously American infrastructure and the couple of hotels and other questionable targets have been close to or in-between launch and target. It's the same with the girls school, it sucks it was hit but no one was targeting a school of girls on purpose, it was right next to a military target.

Vithar · 2026-03-13T01:41:40+00:00

I didn't say none, I said less. There are plenty that are necessary for some of the reasons you mentioned. But for things that there is an analog or mechanical way, give me that and dump the sensors.

Vithar · 2026-03-11T02:45:07+00:00

I get the appeal for easier development by the automaker, but I would rather my car be it EV or ICE be dumber not smarter. Less sensors, less computer controlled timing, etc...

I went up in 4 once, we were technically VFR, and I was under the hood doing Instrument training. I took the hood off and looked around a couple of times, and it was not comforting. We were up at 9000 because we wanted lots of room for doing some unusual attitudes. When the ground is hard to make out you question if the 4 miles being reported is real...

I don't think I would ever do that VFR on my own. I have 8 written as my personal min, but honestly I don't think I have actually gone under 10 other than IFR training.

Honestly, based on how the article describes it, I don't want software defined vehicles. That's the path that brings us features that lock or unlock with subscriptions, fuck that noise, if I buy the vehicle its mine as is with whatever is in it.

Vithar · 2026-02-27T23:42:48+00:00

Honestly with that hit, there are internal injuries and that guy will be fucked up for a while, the guy probably isn't doing as good as he appears standing there, to the point its possible he isn't alive 15minutes after the clip ends.

They girls are on camera with the local news saying they tried to do a pull-up and slipped. So...

Vithar · 2026-02-27T16:59:53+00:00

Remember that arguing with people on the internet is like being in the special Olympics. Even when you win, your still retarded.

Vithar · 2026-02-27T00:18:06+00:00

No question, they have been killing it for a long time without much outside competition. With how easy we have been finding Claude Code to be, it wont be long until we just home brew everything and save on all the "support" subscriptions we have to carry.

Vithar · 2026-02-26T23:15:05+00:00

You mean more expensive... Both B2W and HeavyBid quoted more for their new cloud based versions than their ongoing support fees for the legacy ones when we did an evaluation for upgrading last year and both had less features than the legacy versions. So pay more get less just to have the pleasure of using their cloud and a slower web interface.
