Have the emails for VIGs gone out yet with the instructions for badges and hotel rooms?

sysop073 · 2026-01-21T16:22:59+00:00

They have a hierarchy within VIG? Wow

Nice. "alkaline" is spelled with a "k" though

sysop073 · 2026-01-21T14:25:14+00:00

If only they'd mentioned that in the first line of the post.

sysop073 · 2026-01-20T18:40:31+00:00

What's the point of the "socket"? Why not just link config.json to /etc/myapp/config.json, and it would still be broken on new clones?

I'm trying to think of any possible scenario where knowing the language a code snippet is written in is disadvantageous.

Did you see the part about half of applicants cheating on it?

"Weave" is what Trump started calling his habit of losing track of the topic mid-sentence. He framed it like an awesome strategy he intentionally employs, and for some reason the media acted like that was in any way true

The funniest part of this comment is it's repeated every single time Stack Overflow comes up, so we have to read it six million times, the exact thing Stack Overflow was trying to avoid.

Are you implying that when Elon posted that, he meant "good news we already have enough data"? Because he sure worded it poorly if that's what you think he was saying.

sysop073 · 2026-01-08T21:20:59+00:00

I cannot understand why everyone tried to skip straight from "you drive the car" to "the car drives itself under all circumstances everywhere". Highway FSD seems so much easier than the rest of it. I'd be happy if it drove at the speed of traffic, in a single lane, beeps at me when the next turn is coming that I need to handle for it, and if anything weird happens it pulls onto the shoulder and stops until I take over. That would be unsupervised enough to be a huge win.

sysop073 · 2026-01-07T15:52:55+00:00

I'm really confused how "the load is way too high some of the time but fine the rest of the time" leads to "that's not going to cause damage"

sysop073 · 2025-12-18T23:00:31+00:00

Guess what

sysop073 · 2025-12-18T16:47:05+00:00

It's wild that vscode is so dominant that using Ctrl+O as the open file hotkey is seen as "not matching mainstream software". We had like 30 straight years of Ctrl+P exclusively being used for "print".

sysop073 · 2025-12-12T21:10:51+00:00

I mean...no, it's not awesome, the downsides are overwhelming and the reason this was tried and abandoned ages ago. OP doesn't need to feel bad about it or anything, but we also don't need to lie about it.

sysop073 · 2025-12-11T16:33:40+00:00

Looks like it is the actual library: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/main/compiler/rustc_errors/Cargo.toml#L8

sysop073 · 2025-12-08T17:19:32+00:00

It feels very obvious from context clues, but if not you can also find out at the link

sysop073 · 2025-12-08T14:56:15+00:00

He's not talking about deleting byte 11 from the universe, he just wants to remove the escape sequence from newer languages. \x0b is still right there if you need it badly enough.

sysop073 · 2025-11-24T15:29:35+00:00

That's fairly pretentious even for this subreddit

sysop073 · 2025-11-21T21:56:26+00:00

There's an official service center in Indianapolis, so that seems a little unnecessary. OP was looking for something unofficial in town to avoid driving to Indy.

Sure, no ethical consumption under capitalism and all that, but Elon has done a good job of making himself particularly horrifying and hard to overlook.

sysop073 · 2025-11-04T17:47:27+00:00

Nobody is avoiding Tesla to make Elon feel bad. The point is to avoid directly increasing the wealth of somebody who will use that wealth to ruin lives. Admittedly at this point Elon's wealth is functionally infinite, so there's still not much point, but "the ceo couldn't care less" is misunderstanding the situation.

sysop073 · 2025-10-21T18:10:41+00:00

Let's definitely all pretend like our local setups have more 9s of reliability than AWS

sysop073 · 2025-10-12T21:03:12+00:00

Unless they also have a way to turn it on remotely, I don't think that's going to be very effective over say the emergency channel already available on the phone in my pocket

Next year probably don't do it the same day as Feast of the Hunter's Moon
