Well the car owner just told they weren't his, at least they should go in some "lost items" storage.

I don't get it.. If the records belong to the car thief, shouldn't they get them ? If the records didn't belong to the car thief, shouldn't they be confiscated and it be announced somewhere so the rightful owner could co

This strikes me as super creepy.. But I could see the use-case for stuff like dating-sims where you're kinda supposed to be the creep?

Wow, that's pretty weak. 32 GiB memory limit? In 2023 ?

If I get laid off I'll contact my network and update my linkedin. Our economy is arranged such that even though we are two people on full-time, we we can comfortably live off of a single income, and if we were both without jobs for an

In gained experience? Probably yes. In "getting a good shell for the least investment in time and effort" ? Probably no.

I really want to say that all the low hanging fruit has been picked, but in truth, new fruit pop up all the time, waiting to be discovered. New problems pop up, which are waiting to even be identified before solutions can be thought of. New

I agree on this. I don't see any difference between a human looking at my work and learning to imitate it, and some AI doing the same.. The AI will just be better at doing it.

I thought mean time between failure was a very common term, apologies.

I'm not entirely ignoring it, but I don't believe it holds true for things like cars. I've driven bangers my whole life, I mean really driven them to death, some to the point where they die on the highway, and I will do a qui

I disagree, it's death by a thousand paper-cuts. Having my funds reduced to 91% the rest of the year is waaay worse for me, than having it reduced to ~0% the rest of the month. Because, the rest of that month, I'll be super-vigila

I don't get it.. There's a childrens song in Denmark, it's lyrics go, roughly translated "and if you have money, then you can have, but have you none, then you may go!" (it's about buying bread at the bakery)..

I'd prefer the single line magic one. Exactly because now.. what used to be a menial computation required to get from A to B, has become a Thing, its existence has been justified not just by the declaration of a named function, but it

There's a balance to being overly verbose and isolating _EVERYTHING_ from _EVERYTHING_ to such a degree that it's a major travel all around the codebase to follow one little path through a single call, and cramming _EVERYTHING_ in

I strongly disagree. My comment was from my immediate experience parsing what he wrote right there and then. The first one is easy to read and quick to understand, the second on is already like "oh god, now comes a bunch of stuff"

Yeah you'd have to be real fucking important for me to not simply pull back and walk away without a word. But, I'm really interested in which situations you've actually done this, what reaction you wanted, and what actually h

It's a good idea to write _what_ something does, especially when the algorithm seems very "generic". I'll a thousand times rather have // Create users from id's userList = theblackmagiconeliner; Than a 20

One of us missed the point because I just added that to my permanent bookmarks as an excellent explanation of why some people write overly verbose (and hard to read and thus maintain) code, while others manage to write the same thing in a s

That's not about being smart or not.. But about brevity and a bit of experience. I'd certainly recommend the first one, there's simply less stuff to parse, it's easier and quicker to read. x is a pair with key of type st

Longtermboard seems down, if it's shut down it'd be neat to have it show a site telling that.

What's this for only gemini? It seems to not support http, https or gopher even though it kinda mention them ? Also seems to just segfault when loading a gemini site..

It should not support CSS, just HTML, HTTP and HTTPS. The browser should render the document based on its semantics and the users preference.
