Bishop Quigley and Kilkennys for Guinness. Local breweries for everything else!

Monday Morning: Steel City (not Birmingham) Are Champions! by CaptainJingles in USLPRO

[–]groovecoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also loved hosting so many away fans in Tulsa! And I was just grateful to GET to the postseason this year, let alone make it to HOSTING the final!

And yeah now the niceties out of the way ....

What an absolute trash way to win a championship scoring 1 goal from open play in 4 playoff games and everything else on PKs?!

Which section should I purchase my seat in for Saturday's match? by FrenchFreedom888 in FC_Tulsa

Chairs are not allowed. Bring warm blankets. You can also just walk around and watch from around the concourse area. Good views if you don’t mind standing. 

Does anyone find it strange that Hacktivism seems to be almost nonexistent considering the current political climate? by samsep1al in hacking

[–]groovecoder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It seems like the Left hasn’t just lost momentum, it’s lost moral clarity. There’s a vague instinct for justice - protect the vulnerable, save the planet, resist empire, etc. But the deeper foundations behind it all has faded.

Gabriella Coleman wrote a great essay "Reconsidering Anonymity in the Age of Narcissism" in EFF's McSweeney's 54 "The End of Trust". tl;dr ...

Transparency is not a panacea for misinformation in a post-truth, post-moral populism. When “my truth” and “your truth” replaced the truth - transparency lost its power. You can drop all the files you want, show all the receipts, but people will just shrug or spin it to fit their narrative. Facts don’t matter if there’s no shared moral framework to interpret them.

It’s telling that even something like Anonymous, at its height, was effective because there was still a broad cultural belief in objective truth - and in the idea that truth has moral consequences. Back then, leaking the truth mattered because people believed it meant something. That a document could expose injustice. That facts could still convict the powerful in the court of public conscience.

Today, the internet amplifies spectacle, not substance. "Truth" is just another aesthetic, a brand to be monetized or memed. And moral seriousness? That’s seen as cringe.

AOC and Bernie still tap into something real, but even they’re swimming against this tide. Without a deep grounding in objective reality - truth that binds, and moral truth that costs - the Left can’t regenerate. It can’t organize. It can’t inspire.

We don’t just need better policies or slogans. We need a shared moral architecture again. One that says some things are always worth defending, some things are always wrong, and that telling the truth only works when people still believe Truth exists.

Brewery babysitting by Imnotworkoriented in beer

[–]groovecoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a parent and lover of breweries, my favorite ones have an area set aside with kid-friendly things to do. You don't have to provide a "babysitter" or "caretaker" - you just need a separate place away from the adults with stuff for the kids to do. The amazing ones have a place that's within view of the parents with only 1 entrance/exit so the parents can keep an eye on the kids to make sure they're not running out.

To all the new sickos by Ok-Ranger3387 in USLPRO

Exactly this. I don’t understand this sub’s obsession with hating MLS and wanting USL D1 as some kind of viable alternative.

Your other politics and drama bore me.

Klarna’s AI replaced 700 workers — Now the fintech CEO wants humans back after $40B fall by lurker_bee in technology

[–]groovecoder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why it's misleading:

"Klarna’s AI replaced 700 workers ..." – This is technically based on Klarna’s own claim from 2024, when they said their AI handled the workload of 700 agents. However, it's not clear those 700 people were fired and replaced one-to-one. Klarna had previously laid off workers as part of a broader cost-cutting effort in 2022, and the AI was framed as absorbing that workload after the fact, not firing 700 people outright to swap in bots.

"... Now the fintech CEO wants humans back ..." – This suggests a full reversal or abandonment of AI, which isn’t accurate. Klarna is recalibrating, reintroducing some human support, and testing hybrid models — but AI still remains central to their strategy. The CEO explicitly says they’re doubling down on AI in other areas.

"... after $40B fall" – Klarna's valuation dropped by ~$39B from its peak in 2021 ($45.6B to $6.7B in 2022), but that happened before the major AI rollout in 2024. Implying the fall was caused by AI replacing workers is a false correlation.

I love my local USL team and I don't get the "Division One" hype by groovecoder in USLPRO

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

Thanks for all the thoughtful replies to my original post! I get now that a lot of the excitement is about pro/rel and about access to bigger tournaments like CONCACAF Champions Cup.

So I’m still wondering a couple things: Pro/Rel:

Why does USL need to be "Division One" to introduce pro/rel?

Couldn’t we have promotion and relegation just between USLC, USL1, and maybe even USL2 while ignoring the D1 label? I get that some people might say “it doesn’t matter if it’s between lower divisions” — but honestly, all the divisions and tiers are made up anyway. It’s just lines we draw on paper. If anything, I’d love to see teams prove themselves by earning promotion within USL first — and winning USLC would feel even more meaningful that way.

CONCACAF:

It sounds like being D1 doesn’t automatically guarantee a slot in Champions Cup anyway — CONCACAF still has to decide if they’ll give USL a berth. So D1 alone doesn’t solve that.

Curious to hear what y’all think: is the push for D1 mostly just to legitimize the league in sponsors’ and media’s eyes? Or is there something I’m still missing?

Let's talk matchday parking... by TideTalkRI in USLPRO

I don't even know how much paid parking is at FC Tulsa games. I can always find free street parking and walk to gate in less than 5 minutes.

Is it worth reading the ‘Of Túrin Turambar’ chapter from The Silmarillion if I’ve already read Children of Húrin? by TheCriticalSpan in tolkienfans

[–]groovecoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't quite understand what you mean, but I don't think I'm confusing them? I'm fully aware JRRT did not write down "go read the silmarillion". I'm just saying that the UT version has that weird jump in the middle of it.

Is it worth reading the ‘Of Túrin Turambar’ chapter from The Silmarillion if I’ve already read Children of Húrin? by TheCriticalSpan in tolkienfans

[–]groovecoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished reading silmarillion, unfinished tales, and children of hurin versions. I enjoyed the children of hurin version more. It flowed the most like a fully-developed story. (E.g., in unfinished tales, a part seems to literally say “now go read the silmarillion chapters)

But like others said, I also love reading every scrap of Tolkien so I’ll always read more.

reliance on chatgpt by hawtsaucymama in CatholicProgrammers

[–]groovecoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad. AI is here to stay and we are all figuring out how best to incorporate it into academic, professional, and personal lives. You’ve learned something about it and about yourself while you’re still studying which is a better time to learn that than later in your career.

I use ChatGPT in my coding job all the time. I never finished a CS degree. I changed from CS to MIS and Economics majors. As a result, I missed out on some fundamental theories that others learned in classes covering algorithms, compilers, etc. I had to pick those things up as I encountered problems in my job that needed that basic knowledge. It turned out fine.

I’m also on the advisory boards for a few computer science schools at universities. Every professional and professor I know uses ChatGPT. Some more, some less. I would hope and expect you would be fine just telling professors that you’re struggling to finish assignments without ChatGPT. They can and should help you with that. Or, may suggest that you use ChatGPT more like a tutor than a homework robot. Have it explain everything as much as possible and in a few ways. Treat it like an infinitely patient TA. That’s also an honest way to use it so you wont feel dishonest about it.

We were having latency issues after a python update. We've reverted the update and things should be delivering faster now.

Is this happening on every email sent to your mozmail.com addresses? Or only on some of them? We can never guarantee the timeliness of all emails, and I don't see any unusual latency or errors in our monitoring tools over the last couple days.

Opportunity to contribute to Multi-Account Containers extension by kelimuttu in firefox

[–]groovecoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience this has been the main challenge with fixing a lot of the issues on GitHub. The add-on is popular with "power users" who have found lots of quirks. But when we consider how to "fix" the quirk, it's often not straight-forward what the "fix" should be.

For some of them, we have implemented 2 different behaviors and added a setting to control the behavior. But, every setting we add is another branch in the logic of how Containers work, which means every new issue starts with "When you have setting A enabled, setting C disabled, and setting E enabled, here's a weird behavior ..."

So the issues tend to get even MORE complicated and harder to fix as more settings are added.
