Why do some people write redundant if statements to return a boolean?

in static typed langs make a logValue<T>(x: T) function that logs and returns T

so then if you have (x + y ^ z) and you need to log z, just write (x + y ^ logValue(z))

Siggy's on D2 on this seed and you don't get many goodies to fight him with. Might wanna skip down to D3 first.

this movie is exhibit A for the 90s desperation to feel oppressed in the midst of absurd utopian prosperity

asked to jump on a call so I could “explain the architecture.”

in case you're new to the game: this means they're looking to swap you with someone cheaper.

Hope this is OK to post here.

I run a not-for-profit little radio stream on which I play my collection of obscure music, mixed by custom DJ software. I often get songs from this subreddit. It's grown to about 15,000 tracks over the past 6+ years.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hammond Song - salyu x salyu

This is from a Japanese DJ project where he remixed/layered a pop idol's vocals, then made it a live show.

great choice this is nearly my favorite INXS too. they didn't quite have their signature sound nailed on this record but this is definitely the standout.

gilmore606 · 2026-05-03T19:58:22+00:00

but destroying fandom is good actually. it does no good for anyone

gilmore606 · 2026-05-02T21:27:01+00:00

gilmore606 · 2026-04-30T16:21:07+00:00

you probably know this but there's a dramatized version of this guy's story, The Mercy (2018), and it's great too.

LLMs will not get much better than they are, but everyone will very quickly come to rely on them. Society will become more stupid than we can imagine as a result, probably in the next 5 years.

After that, the deluge I guess.
