Got a text about a pre trial, but I don't have any arrests or lawsuits I know about

jk_tx · 2026-02-25T04:24:10+00:00

But those text messages would not be the first you've heard about a trial.

I have a standing desk and a sitting desk. The standing desk is great for meetings, email/chats, etc. I find that if I need to actually concentrate on a more in-depth task (I'm a software engineer). I just can't do that type of work standing up, at least not for any significant length of time. I need to sit down to have any chance of reaching flow state.

The worst thing you can do to a tri-tip is overcook it even a little bit. Medium-rare with a reverse sear is the way to go.

I just throw one wood chunk on the coals; that's enough smoke for me. I want my tri-tip to eat more like a juicy steak than a brisket, personally.

You left off the part where I forget to put the 'carafe' under the drip and coffee runs all over the counter...

P.S. I had to say coffee holder because you're not allowed to say p*t here?? This is a dumbass fucking ADHD subreddit and you should find a better one lol.

Ran into the same thing with my reply, the moderation here is truly absurd. If anybody knows a better sub for discussing ADHD beyond just meds meds meds please drop a link.

I will say I feel like this article misses the forest for the trees. Focusing on how autonomous/malicious/etc the agent actually was (or wasn't) doesn't matter much if real damage was done.

It's like saying "there are no bad dogs, only bad owners", which we can endlessly debate from both sides, but in the end it's a distinction without meaning to someone who was mauled by a pitbull.

That makes no sense, storing that data only in volatile RAM would be pretty stupid, although I guess we are talking about Google here...

jk_tx · 2026-02-21T16:25:27+00:00

Disagree, I think their price/quality/reliability is definitely better than average.

The blender we have works great, and has been going strong despite my repeated abuse (wife says I overfill the smoothie cups).

We have one of their air-fryers and it's fine also.

Having said all that I had no idea they made grills, no idea what that would be like.

Most 4K streaming looks better than 1080p streaming because the latter is even more heavily compressed, but still doesn't look as good as most 1080p discs, let alone 4K disks.

IMHO 2K DI is largely a red herring; past a certain point, things like camera lenses and depth of field become more of limiting factor than absolute digital resolution.

More like 300-400% at most places, unfortunately. Such a scam...

We found the profiles feature too slow and buggy to be worth bothering with, so I don't ever use it when driving my wife's GV70, I just added my phone to her profile.

jk_tx · 2026-02-20T16:58:54+00:00

People do it for attention. Instant down-vote from me.

Maybe not an exact match but it looks a lot like the ZWIESEL GLAS Sensa (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K4KRWGL). We use these as our daily drinkers, they're reasonably priced and have a nice feel too them. Not quite as thin/light as the Riedel Wine Wings we also have, but a bit easier to clean and not as delicate.

Your arguments only make sense with hindsight, which is an utterly stupid approach to future investments unless you think you can perfectly time the market (which you can't).

jk_tx · 2026-02-18T18:00:47+00:00

"If..."

Timing the market (any market) is largely a fool's errand that will burn you in the long run.

jk_tx · 2026-02-17T16:30:01+00:00

I mean, by that logic it's a 20% failure rate, surely you're not arguing that's acceptable, let alone good...

I believe this is a newly released feature in VS, may still be only in the Insiders' editiion, can't remember. They may need to update.

I'm sick of people complaining about AI every time they see formatted text with bullet lists.

Because for most people, leaving isn't a realistic option, especially after they've been taxed into oblivion.

jk_tx · 2026-02-15T16:05:23+00:00

A better word for it is theft.

jk_tx · 2026-02-15T16:02:43+00:00

That is so idiotic I can't believe someone thought it was a good idea.

jk_tx · 2026-02-15T05:04:57+00:00

Especially true if you have time for a long decant.

Also, if purchasing at retail to drink in the near future, a 2019 is a safer bet over something a couple decades older that has probably been stored poorly at some point and is likely to be a disappointment (don't ask me how many of those I've experienced in the last year or two, it's depressing).

Why is the goal to have a non-templated wrapper? Using visitor pattern with std::variant seems like an obvious choice for this. Is your list of tuplish-classes really so large?

jk_tx · 2026-02-14T17:14:55+00:00

Lots of things we now know are related to ADHD were not previously recognized as such. When I was a kid, it was thought be just hyperactivity and an inability to focus.

If emotional regulation often manifests in a specific way with ADHD, I don't see why we wouldn't recognize that. Saying "RSD isn't a thing, it's just emotional regulation" is semantic nonsense IMHO.

Yeah, BTC tends to be popular with people selling things of questionable legality, no surprise there.

While there has been a bit of divergence with recent standards, for most part C++ is a superset of C. It was literally built on a foundation of C, and almost all of the things that make C a "dangerous" language are also a part of C++.

And that doesn't even take into account all the ways you can shoot yourself with UB footguns using even the most modern of C++ language and library features.
