I was going to suggest some other flavours to try while you’re at it, but honestly they’re all pretty good.

I haven’t seen them sell root beer here in Australia, but the sarsaparilla isn’t hard to find. I wonder if they just modified that.

I actually work on generating and evaluating this data.

The more I see, the less I fear real coding jobs going away. The amount of work required to get good quality training data that can keep up with evolving technology is enormous.

That’s reassuring. I have avoided Discord mostly, because it’s obviously a poor format for sharing information, but I had to dive in recently for help with a niche hobby. Every other source just directed people to the Discord.

Every time I thought I found an answer, it was in a thread of people disagreeing over every bit of advice, interwoven with parallel disagreements over unrelated advice.

What’s the appeal? Does Discord just create the illusion of usefulness by overwhelmingly users with low quality… ah yes, the ChatGPT comparison is fitting.

Clearly π was equal to 3 in old testament times, but geometry got all screwy when Jesus died for our sines.

Believe it or not, there is precedent for this.

Is Keeeeeeee related to Potoooooooo the racehorse?

This has to be a muskspawn.

Full name, Toneigh Lynne Groan.

I imagine it to be a terrible plan that you force through even though it’s obviously going to shit but you’re too committed to stop now.

Like the concept of sunk cost, but more willful, stubborn, and incompetent.

Agreed, and I never see anyone claim Nausicaa as their favourite. If the studio ever revisits earlier material, I hope they do a fuller adaptation of the source. It’s such a rich world, it deserves more time spent within it.

I have high hopes for Light No Fire.

Right now I find Cyberpunk 2077 surprisingly pleasant to wander around in. Sure it’s dangerous, but when you’re so chromed to the gills you can shake off a high speed collision there isn’t much threat.

There are a few genetic factors that can contribute to it. I’m lucky enough to have most of them, so it’s been a journey figuring this out. What got me on the right track was trying a low histamine diet for a week, and all kinds of not-quite-allergy things I had experienced my whole life began to clear up.

The exact list of foods varies a bit depending on the resource, but here’s a pretty good one.

What was the inspiration for that name?

You might want to look into histamine intolerance.

Foods like that can elevate histamine levels because they contain histamine, and some people are less efficient at flushing them out of the system (either during or after digestion), so it results in allergy-like symptoms even without an allergy per se.

Yeah, the truth is, there are a lot of opinions out there but the vast majority of people are absolutely clueless about how vulnerable human brains are. We have to learn everything the hard way.

If you can wear shoes, you can wear a helmet. It’s not that hard.

I can live with decorators in Python (and JavaScript while we’re at it) because they’re kind of in the spirit of the language. You have a big bag of tools and are trusted to use them responsibly.

I’ve only had problems when annotations in Java are used to do similar things. At some point you have to admit that all the bypassing of language features means you picked the wrong language, and maybe you don’t want rigorous OO purity after all.

I recently had to get a new card cancelled and reissued because it was sent to an old address. I definitely updated my address with that bank, but it didn’t stick.

I’ve updated my address with other companies and later found that different parts of their system kept different addresses.

Not too long ago I even worked on the address changing section of a finance company’s website. That project was a nightmare, and I learned a lot about why address changes are much harder to implement than you would think.

I really wanted to spend more time ironing out edge cases on that one, but I was under a lot of pressure to get it delivered because some genius had already committed to removing the forms we already used for this.

So basically it’s possible this person did change their address, at least for some things with that bank, and fixing it might not be something they can do without just the right specific instruction. As long as the bank can demonstrate a good faith attempt to do it right, they are legally covered. Sometimes it’s cheaper to compensate for very rare customer losses that result in edge case fuckups, than to pay developers what it would take to fix it properly.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I think my brain gets it mixed up with recommendation.

AU outlets sound pretty good by comparison. I’m sure there are improvements to be made, but I never have any of those issues.
