> Are you really now characterizing incidents of gun violence and suicide as "freak incidents"? Yup, as they basically are. Bolts of lighting would fall under "random acts of god/nature". Talking about whether or

No, I believe a combination of the police, state governments, and federal government should be able to handle a) street-level policing and b) shutting down the illicit trade of catalytic converters, without using invasive measures like floc

Stub code that doesn't do anything sounds like a great candidate for removal.

Okay: It's astonishingly easy to not get shot from committing crimes specifically home burglary or stealing expensive things from people. Other things may still befall you, because life is random like that, but if you don't do tho

Is the context of this discussion unclear to you? Do I need to place conversational guard clauses for you? Or are you just interested in nitpicking? Do I really need to clarify that there are other ways of dying or getting harmed, including

So is anyone going to revert the commits that jumped the gun on this? E.g. systemd's birthdate field https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954

I was referring to homes. This situation likely could've been avoided by not engaging in recklessly stupid behavior like road rage and escalating the situation (with one's family present, to boot). Also, a news article of some ran

> A catalytic converter can be replaced, a life cannot. So don't go around stealing catalytic converters. Same deal with states with "stand your ground laws". It's astonishingly easy to not get shot: don't invade

The idea is that -someone- reviewed the lines of code they modified, leading to the sum of code being looked at by many human eyes. Using someone else's code has always been a system of trust in this way. AI/Vibecoding breaks this

That's MIT. At a state university my friends were making in the ballpark of ~30k. And yes, that is "next to nothing" compared to the salaries they make now after quitting and just finding work. And their outlooks are in signi

This really gets on my nerves. ishouldstayaway provided a perfectly valid resource to support the initial statement that gourmand isn't just about quantity anymore. > Well, you had to go to #2 This is clearly a disparaging remark me

"Going to definition #2" is an arbitrary rule that you just made up. Same with an American dictionary vs British or whatever. The Oxford dictionary also has both definitions, with the general use going back to 1758. > 2.1758–On

I'm neither praising or admonishing rust. Did you read the parent comment or its parents' comment I was responding to at all? (grandparent comment): "Cloudflare crashed a chunk of the internet with a rust app a month or so ag

by huimang 5mo ago
Because the bugs were caused by programmer error, not anything inherent to rust. It was more notable due to cloudflare being a critical dependency for half the internet, but that particular issue could've happened in any language. This

Yeah, sure, they'll "investigate" it. For some definition of investigate. I'm not sure if you've been paying attention at all lately, but saying "let's investigate" with the current administration is

This is a bit more than overselling a proof of concept. He made claims that were not correct, and presented some LLM generated code as point of pride. And not on his blog, but a company's website. He's emblematic of the era we now

To me it's likely, given the extremely rudimentary nature of that issue.

Please stop being intentionally obtuse. Convolution, arpeggiators, impulse responses are not at all comparable to output from generative AI / LLMs.

There has to be some consideration for cross-language discussion where english is not the native language of the poster. The usage and intent there is completely different than a native speaker lazily having gpt spit out a comment for them.

There's no better time to play fighting games than right now. Street Fighter 6 has one of the best training rooms that I've seen. I also will slow the game down to 50% speed when internalizing a new combo sequence. There's so

Look at the issue linked. While I don't think that language is preferable, at some point we need to call out terrible and lazy code.
