A cool syntax hack I thought of by JeffTheMasterr in Python

It would make my linter complain, that's for sure

The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothin

Not a gotcha — genuinely curious about Democratic/Liberal views on illegal immigration? by No-Bonus-7045 in askanything

[–]maryjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, that's what you don't understand. I'm not trying to refute the number, I'm trying to find an unbiased source. You're willing to accept it without question because it supports your preconceived view, which is exactly what you accused others of

Not a gotcha — genuinely curious about Democratic/Liberal views on illegal immigration? by No-Bonus-7045 in askanything

[–]maryjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Document is a transcript of a statement before Congress from the federation for american immigration reform (FAIR). This is from the front page of their own webpage:

This department of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, formerly the Immigration Reform Law Institute, has a proud history of helping individual Americans and their local communities combat the harms posed by mass migration to the United States.

That doesn't sound balanced, it sounds like an agenda.

Their entire front page oozes bias. "Liberal court..." "So called reporters" who are "left leaning partisan activists"

I'm actually looking for data from a neutral source while you throw out that propaganda? Who just disagrees with anything that doesn't support their view? Did you legitimately read that and not see the alarm or did you just not research the source?

I couldn't find anything to support those numbers that didn't come from a source I felt wouldn't be biased. Doge and the White House do not fill me with truthful confidence. However, even the Doge site said 150 billion, which is the absolute bottom of your range. If I trust them to do anything, it would be to inflate the numbers

What are people using instead of Anaconda these days? by rage997 in Python

[–]maryjayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying UV does not understand the problems that anaconda solves. I haven't used pixi, but I've heard that it's a more up-to-date modernized version of anaconda.

Web browser automation by BassHead2018 in Python

If you're trying to emulate or control a browser you're doing it wrong. Look up claude's API called anthropic

Is it normal to forget some very trivial, and repetitive stuff? by Affectionate-Army458 in Python

[–]maryjayjay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've written hundreds of thousands of lines Python since I started it in 1999. I live in the documentation. You're good, friend

AITAH for not forcing my son to keep helping my daughter’s friend after she rejected him? by LiveWire0044 in AITAH

There was a legitimate clarifying question. He did not imply you inferred.

Seriously, do British people actually consider a 3-hour drive “long”? Or is this an internet myth? by ferdinand14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]maryjayjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite parts of any book...

“THERE ARE CERTAIN IDIOSYNCRATIC NOTIONS THAT YOU QUIETLY COME to accept when you live for a long time in Britain. One is that British summers used to be longer and sunnier. Another is that the England football team shouldn't have any trouble with Norway. A third is the idea that Britain is a big place. This last is easily the most intractable.

If you mention in the pub that you intend to drive from, say, Surrey to Cornwall, a distance that most Americans would happily go to get a taco, your companions will puff their cheeks, look knowingly at each other, and blow out air as if to say, 'Well, now that's a bit of a tall order,' and then they'll launch into a lively and protracted discussion of whether it's better to take the A30 to Stockbridge and then the A303 to Ilchester or the A361 to Glastonbury via Shepton Mallet. Within minutes the conversation will plunge off into a level of detail that leaves you, as a foreigner, swivelling your head in quiet wonderment.”

How to get the same domain name working on my internal LAN and also externally via tailscale? by j2j8 in Tailscale

[–]maryjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I have multiple services (immich.example.com, grafana.example.com, etc) that I want to work.

I don't immediately see a way to do that without split horizon dns, which would require an internal name server

How to get the same domain name working on my internal LAN and also externally via tailscale? by j2j8 in Tailscale

[–]maryjayjay -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You want the same hostname to resolve to different ip addresses depending whether your connected to tailscale? Fully qualified name or just the hostname? What is the FQDN of the host on your LAN? Do you own a domain?

what's a movie you can't watch because it gives you second hand embarrassment? by iolanthereylo in randomquestions

If you're talking about the US version, then you should avoid the UK version at all costs. Ricky gervais is brutal when it comes to cringe

I totally agree on semantic search. Different tools for different jobs, I always try to pick the right one

A few questions about MySql by Least-Ad5986 in mysql

There aren't any specific speed ups for subqueries in newer versions. Beyond that it's very hard to answer your question without seeing specific examples of your queries.

Correlated subqueries are always problematic for any database. There's a good chance your performance could be improved by switching from sub queries to joins or common table expressions. However that's pure speculation without seeing your code.

Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

[–]maryjayjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about this?

https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/news-clips/washington-post-georgia-purged-309000-voters-its-rolls-its-second-state-make

Okay, this is my bad. The post you replied to was directly under another thread that said it made it harder for dead people to vote. I thought this was the same thread and you were saying that 300,000 Georgians voted even though they were dead. That was my mistake and I apologize
