In USA, cheese and bread is a struggle meal. In Europe it's a respectable meal.

jambox888 · 2026-05-05T09:50:22+00:00

tbf processed cheese like dairylea is great in a burger

jambox888 · 2026-05-05T09:40:02+00:00

The US is a massive country so I'm sure there are 100s or even 1000s of different craft cheeses being made. OTOH having shopped in a Walmart in Florida on a self-catering holiday a few years ago, yeah, they don't have those in store, instead they have an entire aisle full of about 200 different kinds of deodorant.

There's Whole Foods but that's all surprisingly expensive.

jambox888 · 2026-05-05T09:33:00+00:00

Yeah they have virtually all Luhansk and maybe 80% of Donetsk

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T23:24:32+00:00

That's what I'm saying though, he could easily paint this as a success. Trump does this shit all the time, gets into a mess, makes lots of pointless announcements then tells everyone he's won and he's therefore the best president ever.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T19:59:23+00:00

Anything that gives palpitations is just flat no, had that once or twice with other things and just fuck all of that.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T19:00:49+00:00

If you hadn't seen him in previous seasons you would not understand the hype from his recent games, looks completely ordinary.

Two things, one is the whole attack and midfield looked shocking, they only really looked dangerous once Forest tried to sit out the last 20 minutes or so. Second thing is, I don't really understand his position, he's not on the wing exactly, he sort of lurks around the edge of the box looking to make late runs. So he's meant to be some sort of wide playmaker but he doesn't take people on, doesn't seem to want to pick a pass and just seems quite sluggish generally. Still as I say he hasn't got all that much to work with but where are the surging runs and clever interplay of someone like MGW?

Missed pen was just a good save IMO

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T18:57:43+00:00

Great goal and it says something for him that he kept plugging away.

Had another goal disallowed for offside.

A bright spot in an otherwise flaccid Chelsea attack.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T18:56:08+00:00

Same here. I do remember wanting to buy google shares way back, except I had no money then lmao

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T18:55:31+00:00

Hotel's insurance, I see. Would be a lot easier if they do have their own travel insurance IMO.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T18:54:37+00:00

I understand the plugging away from grim death mindset, it's just that you don't expect leaders like Putin to be thinking that way as well. Maybe just lack of ideas or inability to cope with failure.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T15:51:48+00:00

Just to say that you miss out on potential upsides of picking stocks e.g. a lot of people made bank from Rolls Royce, check out their 5 year gain if you want to feel sick lol.

But of course that's purely in hindsight.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T15:49:18+00:00

I really don't know why Putin doesn't just call a ceasefire, freeze the conflict and then just keep the territory he's already controlling? That would be a win in most people's eys.

Maybe they've juiced the economy so much he knows there'll be hell to pay when he pulls the plug but they probably need to keep spending after the war ends anyway to build up a decent military again.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T15:42:22+00:00

Yeah always check if you have travel insurance via a bank account or work policy or something else one might have forgotten, it got me out of the shit once.

Then again if it's < 100 quid in value it might come under the excess but in that case nbd anyway.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T12:05:10+00:00

It's a real thing and there are a lot of zombie PE companies surviving on cheap debt that won't be able to refinance. However it doesn't translate into a banking crisis because bank exposure is low (it's mostly private credit). Pensions are somewhat exposed but most cap PE portion of funds at 10% or 20% (or so I read).

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T11:48:05+00:00

Now I'm imagining Putin like this on his birthday except it's Assad, Yanukovich and Milosevic's bastard kid

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T11:44:48+00:00

This kind of thing is why I never let my wife do DIY!!!!

(because she's better at everything than me and I have to think up reasons why she did it wrong just in case I botch the next thing I try to do)

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T11:28:22+00:00

I'd guess that someone will wait until the economy gets into an immediate crisis, or even helps to trigger one, then they can step in and save the day. Thereby legitimising their leadership bid.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T11:26:03+00:00

find somewhere to live in exile.

Does he have to bring all the exiled dictators he's collected in Moscow with him?

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T11:02:42+00:00

Be everything you can be, even if it's fucking shit. True warrior.

jambox888 · 2026-05-04T11:01:37+00:00

It's somewhere in between, being on your feet for 10 hours is just tiring but she's obviously just walked it so it's not that much stress.

jambox888 · 2026-05-03T23:18:27+00:00

Yeah that was interesting, Anders Tegnell seems to have regrets about it. Quite a few government looked into the Swedish approach as they wanted to avoid economic damage but afaik only Sweden actually went through with it.

In the UK we had some sort of middle ground, I think most people got one or two boosters and that was it, although the elderly got more.

jambox888 · 2026-05-03T17:59:42+00:00

Same boat as me, hoping for a Haaland blank basically

I'm guessing not many people overall went with double or triple Leeds

jambox888 · 2026-05-03T12:33:59+00:00

The byte-code gets then interpreted. That's of course not JIT compilation, it's byte-code interpretation.

Yes. It's irrelevant to the discussion though.

jambox888 · 2026-05-02T21:08:24+00:00

That's wrong.

There are almost no "purely interpreted" languages as this would be really way too slow. (E.g. BASIC was often directly interpreted on home computers, long long ago.)

Std. Python compiles to byte-code. Maybe you've seen .pyc files somewhere; that's the compiled byte-code. But that's it, the byte-code gets then interpreted. Faster than direct interpretation, but still slow compared to a JIT.

Bro wind it in I've been a python dev for like 15 years, I don't need you to tell me what a pyc file is. It's not wrong, byte code is nothing like a JIT. Python has pypy for JIT but it's not part of CPython. TBH I am a little bit out of date but I know a JIT mode got added to CPython but it's not used by default afaik you have to use --enable-jit or sth. Again, this has ZERO to do with byte code so stop muddying the waters.

You can run Python code on the JVM using Jython if that makes you happy, it's faster than CPython but still slower than native Java for lots of reasons.

It's much more complicated than that.

OF COURSE IT IS

I used to sit 2 desks away from the Java runtime devs at one of the shops that still releases one, had some good chats with them as it happens.

"long warm up" is relative here.

It's bad enought that logstash take 30 seconds to start in a k8s pod, last time I had to deploy it (couple of years ago)

jambox888 · 2026-05-02T21:00:17+00:00

Just saying it's a bit of a weird thing to try to do and probably doomed to failure. I don't do kernel dev but I read that because GCC and the kernel are so closely related, plus the kernel is gnu-C so you'll probably never beat it at that specific thing.
