ChatGPT is currently rate limited so I can’t login to test, but isn’t it possible that the massive wall of text above the “immoral” prompt just stops the system from hitting some predefined threshold of dodginess? I wanted to try several pa

That the other guy is evil, and that’s the only other choice, isn’t Apple’s fault.

The population China didn’t have the choice where they were born. With Apple, you have a choice, knowing fully the pros and cons of the ecosystem, whether to buy into it. It’s not the same at all.

Added to that, wait until all cars are electric, and they filter down the secondhand market. The average price of a 10-year old car in the UK, as of Sept 2022, is £6100 - pretty much the same as a replacement battery pack, which will be du

The benchmark was specifically testing the hot path of a cached query in their MySQL caching proxy. MySQL wasn’t involved at all. I agree completely that benchmarks need care, hence my point that the article is disappointing. The author mi

Not too long, did read : The benchmark went from 28.5ms to 32.9ms. That as a percentage is 15% and is huge, it’s not noise. The test is flawed in some way, the article is disappointing in that the author didn’t investigate further.

I'd argue even a barebones framework should protect you against the most basic vulnerabilities, it's something Every Single App Ever will require.

You signed up to last.fm (well, audioscrobbler) two days after I did in 2005. I’ve followed you there, I’ll trawl through your top tracks tomorrow. I’m surprised/happy to see iLiKETRAINS as your top track.

Yep, same here. And the game seemed well balanced to my skill level until I blundered, at which point it beat me in short order - just as happens on Lichess!

That doesn't work unfortunately, you need the brackets - DateTime has to be on the left.

by carl_dr 4y ago
You need to use puts to avoid quotes being added around the output - so I'll give you 145! I'm on my phone too, I'm impressed I even got something working, you've done brilliantly. Edit: DateTime.new(0) seems to work.

I don't think so. It would be only year 2006 (which map to second 60) which could be a problem, and there wasn't a leap year in that year.
