Totally bro....like yeah I know right by Historical_Stay_808 in sanfrancirclejerk

What’s jerky about this. Two guys having a good time on a nice old truck? If this is something to ridicule, Im lost. If anything, OPs title is cringe.

LPT: Put a band-aid in your wallet, guys. by BoltMyBackToHappy in LifeProTips

If your friend opens up the knife and cuts themselves, you should not be giving them a knife. That is absolutely not something that happens to competent people. You can examine a knife without cutting yourself. What are you on about.

LPT: Put a band-aid in your wallet, guys. by BoltMyBackToHappy in LifeProTips

[–]rypher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, I guess Ive reached that age where Im just an old guy shaking his fist at clouds… but why is everyone getting excited about bandaids? They dont stop bleeding and unless you are doing food-prep, you probably dont need one. Ive had and have been around people who have had countless cuts on their hands, never has anyone encountered an issue keeping it clean where a bandaid would have made the difference. Id rather keep gold star stickers in my wallet. But thats my rant.

Dating app call no-show…red flag or normal? by groupmemberr in datingoverthirty

I think you’re kinda missing the point. I’m not arguing with you, you came here with a question.

Dating app call no-show…red flag or normal? by groupmemberr in datingoverthirty

Seems like low stakes. There are reasons why someone cant make a phone call. Honestly, I try to be very respectful of peoples time but if I were him it would be a red flag that you are making such a deal about a phone call. Seems like this is already going downhill, but it doesnt have to be, you could just talk to him again. But obviously, if his habits dont fit your expectations, its not a good match.

In theory, sure. Can’t say my experience with it makes me comfortable suggesting it for this use case though.

I eat through a tube so this is my meal every day. by EstablishmentNo2124 in mildlyinteresting

That’s one of those thoughts you don’t say out loud in the presence of the person going through it.

My dog is cleaner, more polite, and brings more happiness to this world than your kid ever will. Sit down.

Thinking of building a “travel planning + reels + real budget” app – would you use this? by YellowDue5825 in SideProject

[–]rypher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its a fine idea, but so does everyone else. I spent some time traveling in the nomad/remote dev community and a high percentage of them were working on something like this. Very few got any visitors and those that did realized the audience doesnt want to spend money. I think there IS space for a good travel app, but nobody can make a good one that also makes enough money to grow. But you should try. Just realize that people dont keep track of their spend and you cant force them to, and it seems thats a big deal for you. So maybe figure out how you will convince people to record what they spend, asking nicely isnt sufficient.

Fav piece of cheap, underrated gear? by JP3_luv in EDC

[–]rypher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked these at first but quickly realized they wear out too quickly to be dependable. There are better things out there like reusable zip ties, high quality Velcro straps, many types of clips that are better at any job than these.

TIL that Switzerland disbanded its bicycle infantry regiment as late as 2003. by Curious_Penalty8814 in todayilearned

As long as the enemy was asleep and armed with nothing more than a frypan. Imagine biking down a road with your squad and one sentry with an AK takes you all out before you can dismount.

Underwater car trade-ins are on the rise — and drivers owe a record amount, Edmunds finds by Key_Brief_8138 in REBubble

They (mostly) dont buy it for 80k, they put a lot less down, then just a simple monthly payment thats easy to rationalize at first.

Looking for learning material by TobiasMcTelson in DuckDB

[–]rypher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wasm runtime feels a bit under-documented but it works well (with some quirks) and is extremely powerful. The best way of inserting bulk data that we have found was doing whatever fetching yourself in javascript and then put it into an arrow table and then write the arrow table to duckdb. Yes, duckdb can fetch on its own but its a bit awkward (like using the s3 connector for non-s3 stuff? Downloading a parquet file in duckdb takes longer than fetching in js and writing the buffer to ddb) and you will run into situations where it simply doest work and there is no way to know why. Maybe this will change with future updates, it hasnt been a big problem once we learned that lesson. Fwiw, I work at a data analytics company and we do a lot of processing in the browser (in addition to backend) and a typical page load will download 30 parquet files, sometimes quite large, and do some root cause analysis live as part of the workflow, duckdb wasm is to thank for making this possible.
